If Andy Warhol opened a wine bar, it would be exactly like Muse Paintbar. We came, we sipped, we splattered (a little), and we somehow left with a masterpiece. I may or may not, refer to as "my life's work." The vibe is pure fun energy--think upbeat music, cool instructors who actually make painting feel doable (even if your stick figures need therapy), and a bar menu that fuels the creativity. Wine in one hand, paintbrush in the other? Yes, another glass of Pinot please. Whether you're a total beginner or someone with a little painting experience, the instructors make it easy to follow along--and they're super encouraging, which makes all the difference. The space is clean, well-lit, and organized, with all supplies ready for you when you arrive. The atmosphere and energy in the room is infectious--it's hard not to smile while you paint, sip, chat, and laugh. Everyone that sips and paints should leave with paintings you are actually proud of! Bonus: they have a solid menu of drinks and light bites, which elevates the whole experience. Highly recommend Muse Paintbar. Excellent for creative date night, birthdays, or just something different to do. It's creative therapy with cocktails--what's not to love? read more

Had a great time painting at Muse for the holidays. Me and my co worker came on a weekday in the mid December and created beautiful paintings. We were able to order some drink and snacks before starting and the whole experience was a lot of fun. read more

Nice staff and good artists. Easy booking and they guide you through the painting well. 4 stars due to food and drinks being very overpriced for the quality. read more

These classes are booked for 2 hours which is way too long. Now that I have done the class, I understand why. Despite them telling you to arrive 15-30 minutes early, they started the class 25 minutes late. That meant we sat around waiting for 40 minutes. Really annoying. We realized why it was taking so long. The teacher was also the bartender and had to pour everyone's drinks. They need to have one person teaching and one person tending bar. Then she would give everyone very long "breaks" during class but it was just an opportunity to pour more drinks. Again, you need 2 staff in a class of 40 people. Otherwise it was fun but everything took way too long. I wouldn't return. read more

I am already a painter, but I agreed to go with my friend to check this place out as I was honestly curious. It was a good experience. Although I am experienced with painting, they really break it down for you so you can be a beginner and leave with a beautiful painting. Went on a night where drink was included and it was cool. It also lasts about from 630-930 so you so get a few hours in, a canvas, instruction, paint, and a glass of wine (if you choose the night where it's included for about $30 to $45 dollars. I went on a $29 night. Would definitely take a friend there if they were visiting. read more

As good as paint bar's get. The staff was more than helpful and entertaining. The music was great and we actually danced while our painting were drying. The location was easy to find. We were a party of two, sat with great people who share their painting skills with us. The bar area get's crowded and they could use additional staff as the place was busy with a private party as well. It would have been nice to have someone extra to walk around and assist with the painting as well. Our session was packed. They lose a star for this and terrible parking but it's not really their fault. Make sure, if you're not from the area, arrive early to plan for finding a metered spot, downloading the parking app or walking from a parking garage. There are plenty of surrounding stores to pass the time. read more

Muse Paintbar - Paint and Sip - Paint & Sip Near Me - White Plains, New York

I don't consider myself the best artist, but I think the whole concept of Muse Paintbar and similar businesses are a fun way for groups to hang out. They promote conversation, get you out of your comfort zone, and help you learn something new about your peers. You may have an experience that fits none of those hallmarks, but go with me on this ;-). I've been to a few paint-and-sip places both for recreation and as team building activities for work - and while I've grown a small collection of mediocre canvases, the process of making them was always fun. Muse specifically sticks out in my mind because it was the first paint-and-sip place I experienced - first in Yonkers, and most recently here in White Plains. This most recent painting excursions had one of my college friends and I meeting up. Everything about the experience was really streamlined - we made reservations online where you can see the picture you'll be painting and when we got there our names were already in assigned spots. They open the bar and kitchen about 30 minutes before painting begins, and you're able to order throughout the entire session so there's no rush. Our instructor was really friendly and knowledgable - our painting had some intermediate level details but she was super patient with all of us. Additionally, there are a couple of staff members who walked the floor during the session who gave some comforting words of encouragement. Overall, Muse is fun. While Mamaroneck Ave is loaded with restaurants, it's nice to know a place like this is around to break up all the food. I try not to patron places like Muse too often since I'll be overloaded with canvases, but if someone suggested we go I would be totally open to. read more

The instructor and staff were very nice, but we paid $110 for 2 people and didnt get our own table, we had to share with another couple. would have been fantastic if they didnt overbook for the size space they have read more

Had so much fun doing a paint and sip class here! I love that you can reserve a table for your group, and there were plenty of fun and beautiful painting options to pick from throughout the night. The staff was very helpful and entertaining, and they did a great job of pacing the painting so that we could all follow along. In the end, I was really pleased with how my painting turned out and it was a great family activity. Highly recommend! read more

Muse was a lot of fun. David was very helpful and talented. I loved that everything is there for you. No responsibility for paints or supplies. The food was secondary and we didn't eat. It was a good time ! read more

This is fun if you go with a group and you have some talent. Also depends on the teacher. We had fun but don't know if we'll hang up our couples painting, they're not great...LOL read more

Muse Paint Bar is located on Mamaroneck Avenue in the center of White Plains. They also have several other locations. The paintings are fun and basic but not babyish which is encouraging to a novice like myself. The instructors are clear with their directions and explain step by step how to achieve a masterpiece. The instructor stands on a platform with their easel. After everyone is seated there is a lesson on our brushes, how they are used, some very helpful hints. Everyone is given their own can of water, five different brushes, an easel, canvas, an apron, paper towel, and of course a plate with the paints needed poured already on. The instructor goes step-by-step and repeats directions so everyone can see and hear what needs to be done. There is also other instructors walking around that can help if one needs some extra assistance. Muse has all the versions of paintings they teach on the walls and if one wishes they can do one of those or paint on their own, even omit or add a little something. The class is for the painting chosen for that session but the staff is happy to help out no matter what is being painted. Why only 4 stars? It's a bit cramped. Some of the areas are on an awkward angle. The night I went the crowd was rather loud and the instructor could not take control of the room until half way through. I was directly in front of her so I could see and hear her but others towards the back corners could not. This was due to the rudeness of the people painting not the instructor, who tried very hard to ask people to quiet down. It wasn't people talking with each other, it was those that called out and others that added on. We were asked to raise our hands and some refused to follow such a simple request. All in all it was a fun time, great date night. I highly recommend checking Muse out. read more

I love this place and have been here a bunch. You need to make reservations in advance because they will fill up - a lot of their paintings are really popular and as long as you make your reservation in advance you'll have a spot. Sometimes I've even made a reservation earlier in the day (and gone that night). The staff is friendly and nice - the food is great! I've gotten the brownie, bruschetta, hummus, etc. there and I always get Chardonnay. The staff goes slowly enough to help everyone on their paintings and the directions are given step by step, so it's really easy to follow. I'll definitely be back! read more

My first time here at Muse and won't be my last. Purchased my tickets on their site for $29pp which also included a first drink of your choice on the house. (Win) I came here with my girlfriend on a Monday night and had a wonderful time. I'm not big on wine so they had a great selection of bottled beer for me which was nice. No IPA's however but one of the workers suggested one I'd like in similarity and was really spot on so thanks ;) We also were a little hungry and to my surprise, they served small played food as well at decent prices for what was given. The food was good, no complaints here. The instructors were all very friendly, helpful with everyone, patient and a few comedians that made everything great. It's a fun activity to do with a date, friends, family or even alone. I will definitely be coming back again. Thanks for a great time. read more

I went with a small group of friends to this location over the weekend. It was my first time trying it so I was a little nervous. Our instructor Whisper was extremely helpful and talented. She would teach us step by step giving us helpful techniques along the way. After demonstrating each step on her own canvas she would walk around the room helping anyone who needed or had questions. It made me feel reassured and comfortable with each step before she moved on. Amazing instructor! We had a great time I'd definitely come back. read more

Been to other wine and paint places and this one was definitely my favorite. It was a fun atmosphere with lots of great music and support from the staff. My table didn't eat but I liked that a bunch of food was available if needed. The free drink was awesome too. Took away one star only because it ran an hour later than planned, so definitely plan for that, but had a great experience read more

We went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. Muse is centrally located with ample parking. It was a little tight. There were 2 classes in tandem with one painting appearing more advance - area had less people. There is no groupon for this event and cost $35 but includes wine, beer or juices. We had a blast and left strutting like peacocks with our paintings.. Would definitely go again! read more

Muse Paintbar - Paint Nite at Muse Paintbar - Paint & Sip Near Me - White Plains, New York

Huge fan of muse paint bar. Love how they switch up their paintings online, so you can choose which one you would like to do. For non-painters, it's very step-by-step process. There is zero pressure to have your painting look like theirs, and the instructor really encourages you to make it your own. I went with my boyfriend and it was the perfect date night! Highly recommend for any first dates, or just dates in general, whether it's with your crush or just a group of friends. read more

Kudos for their patience and service! My coworker and I had a team event and we all had a blast! They had a customized painting for us ( company logo), a good selection of drinks and food. Our group was pretty loud (just having fun!) but teacher was very patient (Alex) and whisper was great helping around. They have a separate room for special event so keep this activity in mind if you have an upcoming birthday, bachelorette party or perfect for company event! read more

Fair warning to anyone considering the purchase of a gift card. I received one as a gift, and then our location mysteriously closed. Contacted customer service about 4 months ago and was assured a refund check would arrive in a few weeks. After waiting 4 plus months, I reached out again. Same rep seemed perplexed as to why but after a couple emails I received this: ello, After some digging, it would seem that this refund was not authorized by anyone from the accounting department. Due to the company being under federal receivership, and all books for 2019 being sealed as part of this order, these refunds will not be issued. We apologize for the miscommunication on this, but at this juncture there is little anyone can do to lift a federal order to issue such refunds, especially for such small amount. Ryan Look him up, he's a jerk that considers $50.00 spent by customers as "such small amount". Google the business, really a negative situation. read more

Fun time. This was my first time going to a paint night. The place itself was a little tight, our painting was sold out and there was a good amount of people in there. Parking is street parking but we got lucky and got a spot right out front. Also I suggest downloading the white plains parking application, it'll make your life a lot easier especially if you go before six and the max time is an hour. It seemed to me like a glass of wine was a bit on the pricey side. Ordered the spinach and feta tart things, melted in your mouth. Staff was incredibly helpful and encouraging. No one ever told you you had to do anything. They walked around and offered help. Very friendly. Would definitely come back for another event here. read more

We had a staff devo afternoon here. Whisper was a great teacher, energetic and extremely talented. Even those that were hesitant to paint felt accomplished after. My piece is proudly hanging in my home. The space was organized and "clean". The website is kept up to date and often offer promos. read more

Such a fun and relaxing experience!!! The teachers are friendly and cool! Nice music and you can order food and drink. Paintings are brilliant. Highly recommend as a great entertainment for friends hangout. read more

Muse Paintbar - Paint & Sip Near Me - White Plains, New York

Was excited to do this but we sadly had to cancel our tickets in advance. We called and left a message but never heard back. I called again days later, but apparently you have to cancel 48 hours in advance to get a refund. 48 hour advance cancellation....at a paint bar. A PAINT BAR. So no refund or even a gift card for paint or supplies or anything. Waste of $70. Was offered 50% off one ticket for an upcoming class. No thanks. read more

Love this place. It's in the heart of downtown white plains, very easy to find. It's Fun, new, enjoyable and different experience,great as a couples date or for a group of friends girls or guys. The instructor was very patient, she even had a lil sense of humor and the crowd of folks are all friendly and super helpful. Well worth the money considering you leave with a personalized keep-sake. They serve beer and wine (red & white). The food is not so great but you really won't have to time to eat finger foods if you're into the lesson anyway. If you're dressed and concerned about ruining your clothes, not to fret, they provide smocks. Once you've booked, All you need to bring is you date and a open mind, everything else is covered. Check it out! Enjoy. read more

I was there the other night with a group of friends from meetup. What a time! It was really, really fun. The instructor was quite nice, taught in a great way, and more lead us and encouraged us rather than taught. The bartender, who also painted, made for a great sidekick. She was so fast, she could show you have to "erase" as it was just a question of reversing and doing the color scheme of the last move...to cover over earlier work. My painting, my first ever, came out nicely. I am proud of my work and even happier I went. 5 stars. I would go back....I shall return. :) read more

I've been to this Muse location a few times now, and everytime I go, my girlfriend and I have had an amazing experience. Everytime, we have had an artist by the name of Whisper who is an extremely talented, hard working, and an attentive individual. She makes it a fun learning experience. I actually decided to propose to my girlfriend during our last session, and the entire staff was more than helpful in getting this important day right. My fiance and I are grateful, and we will surely be back soon. Thanks Whisper and Katherine for a fun time and also making this moment in my life a memorable one! read more

Had an amazing time here with friends for couples night!!!! It was myself my bf and 2 other couples. Really easy to register online and choose to sit with your group. I'm not sure of the girls name but she has half blue hair and she had patience and great teaching. The guy that worked at the bar was helpful too as he walked around and gave pointers. The kitchen wasn't open at our 5-7pm time which was fine, they had beer and wine for sell at good prices too! Def would return! read more

Love this place ! My friend and I go every other month. The large variety of paintings, wine glasses, mason jars, and wooden signs always makes you find new ways to paint. The bulled pork sandwich is to die for, we're always excited for our "dinner" while painting ! read more

This was my first time trying the paint bar thing and I must say it's very cool. They played good music and the staff was laid back and fun. There are only three minor things that kept me from giving them five stars, 1) they should wipe down the tables before starting a new class - the minute I sat down I touched a glob of paint on the table, 2) they should also have clean aprons which also still had globs of wet paint which does not come off easy from clothing and 3) they should chill their drinks. I realize there are minor things but the paint is really very hard to get out of clothes, once it's dry you're out of luck. BUT it's still worth coming here, it's a very fun experience and the staff is very very nice. read more

Muse PaintBar has the best instructors of any Paint and Sip place I have been to. I have been to 9 different painting places in New York, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Texas. White Plains is my favorite location for the instructor's expertise, tables proximity for viewing the instructor, acoustics, and they carry Kopparberg Swedish Pear Cider (an insanely delicious Hard Cider). I started going to Muse 2 years ago, when I thought I could only paint stick figures. The way the instructors walk you through the painting, step by step, brought out unknown talents in me. Now I am a painting addict. I get to Muse every month or so, but I also paint like crazy at home. Do not be afraid to go paint. Choose a painting that looks simple to start with, to build your confidence. Go again and again with your friends and have a relaxing therapeutic fun time painting. The instructors are there to help you at any point you need or want assistance. And you will go home with either a surprisingly good painting, or a grand work of modern art! But you will have had a great night out! read more

Muse Paintbar is awesome!! This was my 1st time here and I will never attend a paintnite with another venue. Muse is the perfect venue with the ambiance for the artist in you. The instructor was patient and the other staff ws very friendly. I highly recommend a night out painting with Muse!!! read more

Drinks and food served while painting. The place was packed for a 5pm appointment. Mainly women. The instructor was up beat and super easy to follow. For the harder parts of a painting they have you draw specific shapes and then fill in around. I am not a painter and was very surprised with my result. Good time. I would go again read more
