Me and my partner went to Artie party for a nice date night on a wine down Wednesday. I've always…read moreheard of this place through the grapevine, and I tried to go here before but the event was unfortunately canceled because the person that was doing the event had an emergency. The most unprofessional part of it is that the money was never refunded to my account. Even though they called me and asked me if I wanted the funds given back and I told him yes. Anyway I knew at some point I would get my finances back. So I just made a call and let them know that they never gave me back my money and then I would like to use the credit for a class. With no issues at all they made it happen. We had a lady name Ebony who was definitely well knowledgeable about painting. She also sold me one of her paintings as well. Definitely a beautiful painting that I had to take home with me. She was great as far as her leader ship, her knowledge of painting and her overall ability to just have some fun and give great directions with a small group on a Wednesday. I normally just do food for yelp, but because this was so much fun and so entertaining I definitely want others to know about this place. If you're looking for a nice paint and sip with friends, Then certainly look no further. This is the place!

This escape room is located in Downtown Orlando, so you will likely need to pay to park. It's located up a steep flight of stairs, so accessibility may be an issue. There's a waiting area with a couple of couches and some small warm up games if you have a few minutes to kill before your game starts, as well as a bathroom if needed. Overall, it's a small space but the escape rooms really make the most of the area. Our game master, Rule, was very helpful and made our experience even more enjoyable. Our favorite of the two rooms we played was Haunted Hotel, and we're looking forward to coming back to play Mountain Top.

If you are into art, you may want to check out their painting classes they offer. They have a schedule of painting options for themes available, just ask. Overall: A A fun place to pop in when in the Florida Mall. Check out their art classes!

I then proceed to tasting. everything was super good and they were so helpful. They even gave a chocolate wine sample which was inside their shop. I decided to buy a bottle of one of the once I tasted and loved, since I had a girls wine night coming up. The quality of the one was outstanding and my bottle was the best of the night. They have so much variety and even have small events that you can attend for a low cost.

The claw machines were fair and I won a decent amount for the money I spent. They have a lot of cool features such as trade-ins for more high-quality plushy's, as well as a little shop section where you can buy figurines and other cool items. The service was also phenomenal. The workers had fixed a plushy that was giving me a hard time and I ultimately won it! The only con I could really say is that it was a little expensive. Overall, I would highly recommend this place, especially if you have little ones who love claw machines and cute stuffed animals.

Our group came upon Easel Expressions through a deal offered from Livingsocial and we all has a…read morefabulous time! The deal was 35 for 2 people. This was my first time at an event like this. Tip: If you don't come across a deal such as we did, it seems like they offer discounts code from their Facebook website, so check that out! On Easel Expression's website, there is a calendar of which art piece each class will teach and you're able to reserve the one you want. On some days they have 2 sessions - one in the afternoon and one in the evening. We chosen a evening one to attend with our group of 6 and they were easily able to accommodate us. In addition to our group, there were two other classmate that joined the class. The store is bright and inviting as you walk in and the girls there including the instructor was sarcastic yet fun and also very encouraging. Tables are pre set with a blank canvas and brushes on the table with a bowl of water to clean for your brushes. There is a table against the wall with a 'ingredients list' of the number of pumps you'll need of each color that is lined up in huge jugs. "2 pumps of blue, 3 pumps of black, 2 pumps of white..." Very easy to follow. We all also got to wear cute canvas aprons to look the part! The art of the night was 'Hoot Hoot' and it was the painting of an owl. The instructor said 3 hours long! However our group completed the mission in 2.5! Score! She was very patient and taught us tricks on how to blend to make the owl more lively. Also you can add your special touches to your own painting (i added smiley faces to my shoot stars! :)) This would be an awesome place for birthday parties for kids, date night, and for groups too! One thing I was unsure about, was gratuity. There was no tip jar and it seems like the store was the instructor so I'm not sure if thats why there was none. Maybe someone could elaborate on a future review. I would totally do it again!

We had a Living Social deal about to expire so my husband and I ended up doing a class here…read morerecently. It was packed to the gills which I wonder if it was because of the deal. Thankful we arrived a little early so we could get our pick of seats. (Tip- Don't sit in front of the table with paint or you will be scooting back and forth all night to accomodate people) It's located off Orange Avenue in a small little plaza of businesses next to Full Circle Yoga. If lot is full, you may have to park off street. As noted on our confirmation(we picked our painting and booked online), they urged us to arrive 10-15 early . Check in was simply letting them know our names and then we were free to pick our seating. The studio did all of the work for the painters. Art canvases were set up and already painted the background color for the painting(dark blue to miror a dark sky) and plates of paint were set up under each canvas along with brushes and a bowl of water to dip brushes. They don't sell alcohol but DO allow guests to bring their own bottles for a $5 corkage fee. They do sell soda and water as well as bags of chips. So I would recommend eating beforehand because you will be here approximately 3 hours. The actual class instruction was good. Our instructor was very on top of staying on schedule so that we didn't run late. This kind of instruction may not be best for everyone especially if you are new to these kinds of classes. She would try to give guests a few minutes to catch up but would move on. But obviously you work at your own pace. Unlike other painting classes I have been to, the instructor was the only one that could help and give suggestions. She walked around occasionally to check on paintings but she was definitely stretched thin especially with such a big class. The painting was all free hand for everyone so we all had to draw exactly what she would draw on her canvas. I'm pretty amazed how well our paintings turned out. I loved the music playing- some 2Cellos but all current hits but classical style. Very relaxing. At the end, they did a drawing for those who checked in on FB and/or liked their page and gave away a free class. This was probably one of the better painting classes I have been to. Would definitely checkout again with friends.
