Met up with a friend here for a quick drink and this place is so great. I had been here before but…read morethis time it was nice to actually see the place on a normal night. There was a steady number of people coming in for dinner while I was there. The owner/bartender was super cool and helpful when it came to picking out a quick bite. I ended up trying the chicken pintxo and I had a charcuterie board as well. I'm not as much of a drinker anymore but they had such a great selection of wines here that I would have been able to choose from a wide variety. The chicken pintxo was great. It had a really good flavor. The skewers were shorter which was nice to try to get the food off. The bread was great and they were a really great bite. The charcuterie board had the usual components and I ate it quickly before I could get the photo, but it also had sour patch gummy bears on it which was incredibly cool. I was happy with the cheddar, brie, and assorted meats but the gummy bears made it unique and fun. I will definitely be coming back here to try more of the menu next time.

While the covering does a great job of shielding you from the sun, we discovered that it's not quite sufficient for heavy rain. We ordered a bottle of Montepulciano--a bolder, pleasant wine that paired wonderfully with the stuffed mushrooms and charcuterie board we selected. Although the menu listed the wine as a 2015 vintage, we received a 2019 bottle. The bartender was courteous about the mix-up, and we decided to stick with the 2019. The charcuterie board comes in three sizes, and we opted for the medium one. If you're unsure about the portion sizes, I've included a picture with this review. The charcuterie was an excellent choice, with the olives and cheeses being particular standouts. We also enjoyed the sausage-stuffed mushrooms, which were delicious. Overall, this is a lovely and comfortable place for light snacks and drinks. We look forward to returning in the future.

Side note, it's run & owned by ALL WOMEN! Huge bonus. Everything was provided, and there are so many choices. Most projects range in price from $30-40. We were working on plaques. We sanded, painted/stained, dried, applied an adhesive stencil, picked out colors, painted again, dried again then eagerly lifted the stencil for a finished project. I was impressed how well mine turned out, just like ones you see at a craft show. Parking.... I heard one of the owners say the have a 12 spot lot for free. I found street parking, across the street.

This is one of my favorite businesses in Buffalo. I try to support them as much as I can, and if…read moreyou come to my house, you'll see lots of projects from their website all over my abode. During COVID-19, StudioHue is offering a scaled back version of what crafts they offer, and is making home deliveries (within a 15 mile radius of their location on Broadway in the City of Buffalo) to provide you with some creativity during this time of staying home. The craft kits include everything you need. I went with the dog string art. I received the piece of wood, which had a hanging apparatus attached to it, a sponge paint brush, some paint, the color I chose, nails, and four things of embroidery floss, or the 3 colors that I chose when I ordered the product. This specific kit was $30 and was delivered to me on a Sunday morning. When I received the product Sunday morning, I also got a text message signaling to me that the delivery had been made. I painted the wooden board for my project in about 5 minutes, and let that dry. I then crafted the project in about 2 hours time five days after receiving the project, and the paint was still good to go. I highly recommend them to keep you sane and provide a little creative outlet.

The selection for paint-a-pot was smaller than expected, but we were still able to find items to work on and had a good time.

They supplied everything one would need. We were there for so long we seen a shift change, lol! But both workers were so nice! Overall, the place was clean, they had enough tables and chairs for everyone, and they even hold parties or events. Our pieces look a little dull currently but we will be back in approx. 1-3 weeks for our finished, bright and glossy plates! We will definitely be returning and recommending this place!

Second, this was both of our first time attempting a painting class at this volume. I've been wanting to attend a Painting with a Twist class for awhile and waited for the best one! Baby Yoda! Third, there are a lot of things to mention and I want to do it now even though I'm parched (ironic, i know) and feel overwhelmed, because I don't want to forget anything. So, you're greeted with a welcome and given instructions to swap your coat for an apron and you can grab cups and small paper plates for your beverages and food, if you bring any. You're also told where your seat is and your name is written on the table. The class was a lot of fun! But also, overwhelming. The pace was pretty quick and at times felt too fast. You definitely don't have time to lolly gag or really take a sip of your beverage. Forget a snack, no time. I think if you think less about each step as you're painting, it'll feel less overwhelming and you'll have time to drink something in between, which I highly recommend! But that's easier said than done because you want your painting to come out perfect. Other things that made it feel overwhelming is the music was playing kind of loud while the instructor was talking and then other people talking over all of that and some people singing. At times I sang a little (not loudly). What can you do, but have fun? Also, not being able to see what/how the instructor is painting because the screens are too far away or someone is blocking your vision. *Tip for the business- Have a picture of the painting at every station so everyone can at least see how your painting is supposed to look because it's hard to see details from far away.* The main points: As the instructor told us, don't forget to breath! Which I did a lot lol. I forgot to breath. Don't fret, it'll look great in the end when it all comes together and you can always blend things out with a sponge. Take a couple sips of your beverage every few steps, because I feel super dehydrated! Have fun! It's just painting and it's meant to be fun!
