We had an amazing instructor Kate. She was very patient, easy going and overall super fun. Bartender was awesome too. Such a fun guy. It was my mom's first time going for her birthday and she had so much fun! Thank you all for making it special. Can't wait to come back. read more

Pinot's Palette - Paint & Sip Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came here to do a paint and sip with a couple friends. The staff are all very friendly and the space is nice. It was around $35 per person for the paint supplies, and you can buy your own drinks on top of it. A lot of the wine options were only available in bottles, not individual glasses, so I got the spicy margarita. It turned out to be pretty good though. For the paintings, we did a sunset beach theme. The class was super fun, the instructor was funny, and it was a nice experience. I hope to go again for sure! read more

Pinot's Palette - painting! - Paint & Sip Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is very well organized. The team worked together to make sure we all had enough paint, drinks, any questions that we may have had. I've painted at other places that weren't as organized and it made the experience stressful. I highly highly recommend Pinots They also do parties! I also love they have a projector to show what the artist is doing if you aren't sitting close up! And a microphone! read more

My wife made a reservation for this place, and I was skeptical. Painting together, in Logan Square, on a Fri night? OK, whatever, sure. It was such a great experience. Such a good atmosphere, good paint lesson, great instructor. I'm so glad we went. read more

This was my first time doing a sip and paint class and I had no idea what to expect. My husband has been wanting to try painting for a while and I thought this would be a good way to get our feet wet and figure out if we'd like to try real painting classes. The event was well organized and the communications were clear. They give you lots of info beforehand about parking, drinks, etc. Definitely come early! Painting starts promptly and you need all the time! The paintings are pretty intricate, which is part of the fun, but it's a lot to cover in 2 hours. I got behind because I wanted to do the painting with slightly different colors and needed to get new colors. It is nice that they give you the option of modifying the painting, if you want! I knew we would be taking our paintings home and I didn't want them to look too similar. I am not an artist and appreciated the step by step instructions. I don't have any skills, but I am kind of a perfectionist, which is a bad combo. I was 1-2 steps behind the entire class! Luckily, there was always an instructor walking around, and they were kind enough to repeat things to me. I spent a lot of time making the water in the painting very pretty... only to realize later that we would be painting over it with black. I kind of wish that was emphasized when we were painting the water, because it would've saved me a lot of time and it would have also saved me the heart - ache of painting over my hard work. In the end, we're very pleased with our paintings and had so much fun! There is a bar, with an extensive cocktail list. You can see the drink menu online. Come early to get a drink because there isn't much/any down time to get a drink in the middle of class. They have cubbies to store your belongings far from the paint and a coat rack in the back. They supply aprons, but definitely don't wear a nice long sleeve too because you'll risk getting paint on it! I would definitely recommend this class and also do it again. It was a fun atmosphere and the instructors are entertaining. Next time, I'll be better prepared, pick and gather my paints ahead of time, and map out where to spend my time (and where not to spend my time) when painting. I think this will make the class a little more relaxing and leave more time for socializing/fun. read more

I have zero experience in painting but when i showed my output to my workmates, they are very pleased. Thanks to the step by step painting class, also the activity was a fun way to bond with my cousins! read more

I had an emergency with my son, so I wasn't able to make the class I paid for. They do have a no refund policy, but after hearing what happened to my son, they provided me with a full refund and an apology for taking a few days to get back to me. That is the customer service I expect and appreciate from a business. I plan on rebooking a class in the near future. Thanks Tony. read more

Pinot's Palette is an absolute blast! My school hosted a paint night here and my friends and I had a great time. All of the staff were so friendly and very approachable, so it was easy to ask for help as you painted. Our teacher was hilarious and did a great job explaining each step of the painting process. The studio space is welcoming and has coat racks and cubbies to keep your things paint-free. There's also a full service bar available if you need a little bit of liquid inspiration to help you through your artistic process! Overall, I had a great time at Pinot's Palette and can't wait to come back in the future! read more

Pinot's Palette - My take at their painting. - Paint & Sip Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Sooooo I've been to this location a few times: a birthday get together, a date and a girlfriends hang out. So fun! Reasons why you should attend a class at this location: 1) Not BYOB but the bartender there makes a nice stiff drink 2) Friendly down to earth instruction/instructors made the classes fun 3) Space to move around in your seat and row, you will not be on top of your neighbor like some paint spots in Chicago 4) CHEAP! Classes are like $35 bucks 5) They provide a cute bag to house your masterpiece soooo you can trot up the street to a bar or restaurant to round out the night Will Return! read more

Came here for a work event with a team of ~25. We did a chicago city painting and it was a really enjoyable experience! The bartender and all employees were very nice and made the experience fun as they didn't take it too seriously - which was good for this of us that aren't as artistically talented. The instructor was great she had a really perfect way of describing each step. It was a super fun experience I'd definitely do again and would recommend for a larger group event! read more

I highly recommend this place. We had a blast. The instructor was awesome. He made everything fun and easy. The staff were kind and friendly. Great crowd too. We participated the 7:30 pm class last Saturday January 20,2024. We'll be back for sure. read more

This was my first time here, we had a blast! My friend is a rewards member (yes they have rewards)! It's a great class for beginner painters or people looking for an activity with friends other than the bar. That being said they do have a bar ;) the instructor Ryan Johnson was fantastic. It was $42 for a Friday night class, not including drinks. I'd definitely come back! My only complaint is it was pouring raining so I wish they gave us a bag or something to protect our paintings but it turned out fine read more

I attended the "Booze and Brushes" event for Yelp! Elite at Pinot's Pallette -- what a blast! I'd never been to a painting event, but always wanted to. This gave me a chance to do it in a room full of people I knew would be easy to meet and talk to. What I didn't count on was how fun the staff would be, too. Owner Tony and artist Julia were there at the door to greet us all, instructor Jae was charming and funny, and bartender Mark made the perfect Manhattan, with some great conversation thrown in. This is "painting made easy" for those of us who weren't exactly the stars of our visual arts classes, and it was fun to revert back and feel like I was sitting in my freshman high school art class again! I was able to snag a parking spot right out in front, which made the whole evening stress-free, and also checked out additional parking possibilities for my next trip there. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, including our excellent hostess and Elite goddess, Anna K. My next challenge is figuring out how I can get a group of friends to join me there for another outing! read more

Pinot's Palette - I did it! I'm so proud! - Paint & Sip Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Had a lovely time painting! Great spot for a date. Stations for painting are all socially distanced. Temperature checks at the door, assigned seating and hand sanitizer readily available. Drinks are available from the bar. Two hours is plenty of time to paint your masterpiece while drinking and enjoying music. Rob was our instructor and of recommend taking a class from him! Our offing was an elephant and he made us all laugh by making occasional elephant noises. Thanks for a fun, colorful evening! read more

Pinot's Palette is a blast! I came twice over the week of Christmas and both times were so much fun. The instructors are great. Shout out to Scott and Randi. Both worked through the paintings slowly so all participants could come out with a masterpiece. Highly recommended. read more

I am SUCH A Pinot's Palette fan. I've been here 3 times and am looking forward to returning. I came for the first time for a birthday event, and it was great to have a private room with just our friends and the instructor. The instructor had such a fun vibe, let us play our own music, and even took shots with us. The first time was even more fun because it was a class done with like glow in the dark paint, so we painted in the dark which made it seem like a fun night out. The second time I went to a Valentine's Day event, it was so much fun to split a canvas with my partner, and they made the music and painting geared toward the special night. We have the painting hung up in the room because of how great it turned out (we are anything but artists). The third time around, we had the same experience of great drinks, easy-to-follow instructions, good vibes, and spectacular staff. I really recommend this spot for any date night, special event, or even last-minute plan when tickets are available. read more

This is my 2nd time coming to Pinot Pallete for a paint night. A very nice art studio where you can come out to sip & paint. The studio has a nice bar to order drinks. They give you nice glasses with their logo to drink out of while you paint. Fun Time to come out for any event. Girls Night, Date Night, Corporate Events or just Team Building. Please be sure to check in and receive a cute paint brush pen. Be sure and sign up for the perk rewards to collect on corks points and other benefits for a free paint class. This studio in Logan Square is laid back, nice decor of paintings and other amazing decor around the studio to enjoy. I'm sure that you are bound to find something cute and take yourself a selfie. The staff is very friendly and they make you feel welcomed. The class tonight was fun but it was lacking a little energy. It was kind of dry and not enough fun or excitement. The paint class prices various and the bar prices are reasonable. Feel free to bring or order some food as well. No, its not BYOB that's the whole purpose of having a bar inside the studio. read more

Pinot's Palette - The after - Paint & Sip Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Cramped. Music was 80's rap on a Valentine's Day drawing night, and what we ended up painting didn't match the picture that was online (what we painted was much darker and more boring imo). I often didn't understand their instructions but didn't feel like I had the time or space to ask for clarification. Also, very overpriced for what it was. PS. Specifically for the owner who replied to my review, the painter wasn't the problem. It was more the general vibe: how close together we all were, the music, the room layout, how different the painting was from the picture. And I just didn't have a good time. read more

I've been to a few sip and paint places, and I can easily say Pinot's Palette is my favorite of the bunch! You can tell they take pride in their ORGANIZATION at Pinot's Palette. There was a place for everything, and everything was in its place. They got us started with tons of paint on our individual plates and had our names written in chalk, but it was easy to grab more of whatever we needed without skipping a beat. The STAFF was the friendliest group of people imaginable. Our main instructor Molly had us laughing, and made us feel like if she can do it, anyone can do it. One of the co-owners complimented my painting even though I know it was far from perfect! Best of all were the circulating staff that helped you through a tricky part in the painting or grabbed an additional drink for you. Pinot's also has a great LAYOUT. At other places they have two parties happening in the same room simultaneously and it's super hard to hear just your instructor. At Pinot's they have one big space that seats around 50 people, and another SEPARATE space that can have a smaller party of about 30. Tip #1: They sell frames for $40 that really make your masterpiece look professional and crisp. If you're looking to frame it, it's way cheaper than Lowe's and Home Goods! Tip #2: Check in for a super cool paint pen!!! I truly enjoyed the sip and paint event at Pinot's and will be back again soon! :) read more

Amazing fun! Pinot's is a great place for a date, or a night out with friends. The instructor and the bartender were both funny, warm and very welcoming. Helped me relax and enjoy my time there! I was proud of a masterpiece I could create with the instructors help! read more

I'll start off with the one negative - it's not BYOB. Now that that's out of the way, I had a great experience at Pinot's Palette. Although it's not BYOB, there is a bar located at the venue with cocktail options as well as wine and champagne bottles. We bought a bottle of champagne and were given an ice bucket to take to our seats, and we settled in to gossip and drink before the paint class started. (Doors open 30 minutes before the actual painting begins to allow time for drinks and mingling.) The class itself is great. The instructor was thorough but also encouraged us to deviate from her instructions if we wished to. Great music was played in between steps, so there was a lively vibe the entire class. We never felt rushed, and finished with the instruction about an hour early and were given the rest of the class time to continue to work on our paintings and/or drink and socialize. It's also conveniently next to a restaurant, which makes it easy to grab dinner before class. read more

Really great and fun experience! A chance to relax and allow your curiosity and creativity to flourish!

Absolutely LOVED this experience! My significant other and I did this on a weekend evening and had such a blast painting and having drinks. Our painting teacher was fantastic and hilarious and made all of us feel like budding little artists (even though my painting argued otherwise... lol). We are going to make a routine out of this and plan to go here for many more painting and drinking sessions to come! read more

Tamara helped me organized a private event and it went very smoothly. They updated me weekly on the guest list/people who have registered for the event. On the day of the event, they helped me set up the food that I brought for the event and helped my guest get settled in with ease. Molly, the teacher for the day, helped us with the painting with informative steps and clear instructions. It was an enjoyable event for everyone. If you attend Pinot's Palette on Sundays, the perks are free street parking and $15 unlimited mimosas! read more

Let me make something clear - I have no artistic talent. Sure, I did some drawing as a kid, and I can copy pictures a bit and a few other things. But the whole "I saw a lion in the stone, and I spill chiseled away everything that was not a lion" thing is beyond me. I just don't have the vision, I guess. I'm too literal. So, when I had a chance to go to one of the paint and drink wine events, I was a little skeptical that I'd be able to do anything approaching descent. But, here is where Pinot's comes in. The staff and the owners were amazing! They made painting fun, friendly and un-intimidating. Approachable. Sure, a couple of drinks didn't hurt. But really, it was the staff who were so encouraging and helped me learn. No, I'm not a painter now. The techniques they used were pretty simple, but I learned a lot about building the painting form the back to the front, blending, using tinges of color to enhance the image, etc. But the best thing was just hanging with a bunch of other people doing the same painting, and getting tips, help and encouragement from the staff. This ended up being a really fun time and I would totally do it again! read more

Paint & drink or drink & paint? No matter how you do it, the end result comes out awesome. I had never done one of these Paint & Sips before, but it was so much fun! Come to think of it the last time I ever painted or drew was in High School for my art classes. Anyways, lets do this! Just a 5 minute walk from the Logan Square blue line stop is where you'll find Pinot's Palette. They have a large main room that can handle probably close to 50 peeps and a smaller room in the back that can host a private party or event. Oh yeah, they do have a full bar as well! Beers, wines, cocktails, you name it they got it! The staff here is great. We happened to meet the owners Tamara and Dustin who were walking around and checking up on everyone throughout the paint session. Also a handful of helpers were on deck in case you had any questions, needed more paint, or even another drink. Talk about service! Our instructor Molly was fantastic. Awesome personality and did a good job working the crowd and giving us guidance during the creation of our masterpieces. Overall just a really fun and positive environment! I think my only criticism would be for the instructor to step away a bit more from the painting. I was seated on the far left side so I had a hard time seeing what our instructor Molly was doing. Luckily there was a giant TV monitor with a sample painting of the finish product right next to me, but still would've been nice to see what she had done on her canvas in comparison to mine through each step of the way. All in all I had an excellent time and would definitely recommend to anyone to try it out. Great for large groups, private parties, & date nights would be my suggestions. Expect to hang around for 2-3 hours. Sip, paint, chill. 'Til next time, cheers! 26/365 read more

I was skeptical. If you list my talents artistic would not even appear at the bottom of my list. I am amazed at how well the artist helped me to make a painting that I was proud to show off. I have attended a couple of classes and a private party and have been thrilled each and every time. The skill of the artists more than makes up for my inadequacies in the creative department. The full bar makes the experience even that much more enjoyable!! Date nights, friends night out, corporate parties, you can't go wrong. Looking forward to going back again!! I had a blast!!! read more

Had an absolute blast on a date night here with the husband! We looked at the calendar and selected a painting we both liked, which I definitely recommend doing vs choosing based on convenient days alone. When you walk in the upbeat music and overall vibe says "PARTY"! Everyone is pre-assigned a workstation, and you can request in advance who you'd like to be seated with. They have a full bar with delicious cocktails and a friendly bartender. No food, but they will provide plates, etc if you want to bring some. There's a nice area for catering where some groups had food set up. (Chiya Chai is conveniently right next door and very tasty) The instructor was very friendly and clear. Several people were around to help if you needed help or more supplies or whatever. The instructor goes through each step from mixing colors to which brush to use when to adding details at the end. It's pretty fool proof. You'll have a great time whether have minimal artistic talent (me) or went to art school (my husband). We'll definitely go back and maybe even have our next party here! My ONE tiny issue would be to include a glass of wine with the ticket price. For $38 I thought at least one would be included. So budget an extra $7-10 per drink. read more

I booked my best friends Bachelorette party here. So glad I did! The atmosphere fun and relaxing... Let me start by saying YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE GOOD AT PAINTING OR CREATIVE TO DO THIS! You can paint step by step with the instructor and make a wonderful painting with hints of your own personal tough on it. The step my step instruction makes it simple to follow along or branch off and add your twist. The paint dries majorly fast which I think is a plus. You walk out with a dry piece. Now the fact that you can have wine or a cocktail while painting makes this even more fun. We brought a bunch of snacks and all munched and sipped and painted. They were so kind, they set up some plates and dishes out for us to use. They even made a painting for all the girls could sign for the bride to be. Loved that. The whole crew enjoyed it. Bravo to the crew here helping our party out you all did fantastic and are lovely people. They Really helped make our time special! We will be back! I will be booking another party! Can't wait to paint again! read more

This is a GREAT space! Lots of room for a large group of "artists" plus a stage area for the instructor with an XL flat screen so you can easily see what you're supposed to paint. There's also a room in the back for blacklight painting. Plus, there's a great bar area with various liquors, wines & beers. Yessss! Our instructor, Jae, was fantastic and had all the qualities needed to lead, keep our interest and make it fun! Julita, who walked around to provide assistance, was very helpful and encouraging. The owner, Tony, is very personable, friendly, attentive and quite energetic. You can tell he obviously enjoys what he does and takes pride in making his establishment a place for fun and creativity while delivering excellent customer service. I loooooved the music. VERY diverse selection across many different genres. Definitely kept me moving and motivated. I am no artist and my painting definitely reflects that sentiment, but I had a really good time! This is a great activity for everyone of all ages plus Tony and his staff will work with you to celebrate your special event. I've previously gone to Bottle & Bottega, which has nothing on Pinot's Palette! Pino's Palette is a much better space for you to unleash your inner artist while having fun and being entertained plus receiving great customer service. I definitely recommend this joint! read more

Everyone wore masks, every very small group (2-3 persons) were all socially distanced. The bar tender was over the top friendly & helpful coming around asking if anyone needed refills so no one had to get up. The paint instructor was very engaging, conversational, helpful, & encouraging. Even gave words of praise to all participants. Super patient, he truly enjoys what he does. We'll definitely be back. read more
