We were a group of seven for a bachelorette party and were excited about the event because we've…read moredone a few in the past and the leader made it fun and easy to follow. But that's not what we got. We enjoyed our time together bc we're happy to see each other, HOWEVER, one thing that we all agreed upon was that we were quite disappointed in the hands-off approach. In previous ones that we have done, there's an instructor at the front, guiding, you step-by-step through the process of painting the selected piece. They typically helped you find the correct blend to make the colors. Guided you through how to correct mistakes... very hands on and active. The reminder email received even says, "You're going to have a blast with our artist-entertainer! No experience is necessary to be expertly guided in creating memories, not masterpieces." And this is NOT what we got at all. Neither expertly guided nor entertained. We got step-by-step written instructions that were vague and everyone abandoned reading them at all. We didn't make a scene but did verbally express our chagrin and confusion that the instructions weren't clear, but it fell upon deaf ears. Our youngest attendee, a 14-year old, even painted the instructions page black to show her frustrations with it. There was "encouragement" - every few minutes our babysitters would walk by and say "that looks great" but when asking for help, one said they could help, but then did nothing, and the other helped after some pleading bc our friend really wasn't happy. Finally, of our girls gave up altogether and didn't finish hers at all saying, "I'm having more fun talking to my friend." I don't know if all places are like this now but if so, we will not do anything like this again. At the end when we were told our paintings turned out so well (minus the abandoned one) we mentioned that in others we've done, there was a lead and more help. The response was that this was a "workshop" and since there were multiple projects going on in the room, it was an independent thing. So be aware. This was something we could've done in our own home for half the price. Update: The owner reached out to me and pointed out that on the purchase page it did mention a printout would be given (see attached photo). However, the personalized event email to me the day prior said "expertly guided." So to me this would be the most updated info to pay attention to. After conferring with the other attendees we felt it fair to update from 2 to 3 stars. I firmly believe that this isn't the norm and should have been more emphasized. Additionally, we didn't feel it deserved 4 stars because as open as we were about making it known that we were not understanding the printout instructions, we still didn't get and "expert guidance". Had we gotten help, the other detail could've been forgiven.

I have never visited OTS and since I know it's so close by, there may be a trip here more often. Even though there is a class calendar that shows what the painting will be for the night, it's pretty much up to you if you want to paint it or not. Unlike other painting places, there is not an instructor that holds your hand and tells you step by step how to paint. The different types of paintings are printed out on small pieces of paper which you use for inspiration for your canvas. For instance, tonight's painting was the Texas Flag. At the front desk, there were many variations of the Texas flag that you could choose from. If you aren't digging those, you can choose other painting inspirations on the wall. In tonight's class, everyone was doing their own paintings, at their own speed, and at however they wanted to do it. I was very nervous when I began painting because I am used to seeing how the teachers paint and copying them. I just had a picture of what I wanted to paint, and I had to figure out how to do it on my own. It was nerve wrecking but awesome at the same time. The instructors were very friendly, came by often, and gave us tips/techniques on how to make it better. It is BYOB. They provide glasses and some light bites that you can nibble on throughout the night. The Drunk Artist is family owned and their gorgeous dog walks around the place. If I had to choose Painting with a Twist or The Drunk Artist, I would choose Drunk Artist. The environment, different selections of inspiration, and friendly people have really won me over.

The service was fantastic, drinks were perfect and super fun atmosphere. The machines are really awesome, I'm not a golfer so I can't speak to accuracy, but the graphics looked sharp and the software kept up, no lag or jumping. What really stood out was the service. We received a text after we made our reservation to ask if we had any lefties in the group (they have 2 bays to accommodate left handed players). We were running late and when I texted to let them know they said they would hold our bay for us. When we didn't get to use the full hour we had reserved they only charged us for the time we were able to use. We will absolutely be back when we visit family next time.

It is a bunch of computers with a gaming headset, keyboard, and mouse. We had to ask a bunch of questions and ultimately decided on a hour of play. Let me first state I am not a gamer so this review is based on my non-gaming perspective. We selected two computers but one was not working so we had to shift so we could be next to each other. We chose our computer and had to setup our accounts, I think that took away from our hour. My kid wanted to play Fortnite and it took a while to login and get started but we were able to use accounts that were licensed from the store or you could use your own. I decided to switch to Among Us about half way in and the chat was LOUD. I used the sound key on the keyboard but it barely changed a thing, there was no volume control on the headset so I took it off. After 2.5 rounds my time was up so I just waited for my child to finish. As we were leaving a noticed the once 25% full place was about at 75% so it can fill up quickly and we went on a Sunday afternoon. Would I go back, maybe but bring a jacket, it was freezing.

Hey, not bad for a 10 series card graphics computer set. Though would be nice as well and I wish, if you have the space and area to dedicate to have some people bring their own setups and stuff. ::Pros:: + Nice, cozy gaming environment + Computers are solid, and the fact that you have old-school arcade stuff is a bonus + Rates are comfy with bonus times on 7 dollars on an hour charge, and the further you seem to get to it, the more discounted it gets. ::Cons:: - Nothing much really, but just watch out and inform the guy in front if your computer crashes (it's a ggleap thing). He'll happily help you oit.

The versions of roller derby here in Houston, including the Northside Fury team, plays on a flat track. The rules are a bit different and you don't see the checking, but rest assured there is plenty of hitting. You will get to see elbows throw, booty bumping, and lots and lots of pushing. These guys are still relatively new so their home rink is not super packed. What does that mean for you? FRONT ROW seats. You better hurry because they are a good entertainment value. For $12 a person you can watch all the craziness happening in front of your eyes. You just need to bring your own lawnchair or you can just sit on the furniture that is there or on the floor. You can also bring in a cooler with some of your own beverages. It's fun for the whole family. I had a blast and will be back to see some more fast paced action!

Her personality on the rink matched her name. And the big hits she delivered left me speechless.. WOAH. She spent some time in the penalty corner and out after some falls but her intensity and focus throughout the match remained high and in the zone. That night, Northside Fury was defeated by the Derby Dames but they sure went out in a blaze of glory! We saw big hits, high speed falls, and even a player get a minor concussion. It was INTENSE. I'm glad I wasn't out there! It was a blast though watching from the sidelines. My friends and I enjoyed our cooler full of ice cold craft beers. Yes.. that's right. The event was BYOB! The bout lasted over two hours so by the end of the game, we were all feeling good and in a dancin' kinda mood. And then the announcer said: Free open skate time! Half of us laced up roller skates. The other half opted for roller blades. I hadn't skated in 10 years so I went slow. Several toddlers skating with PVC tripod walkers lapped me on the rink. I eventually got the hang of it though and was able to skate at their speed. Difficulty skating afterward gave me an even stronger appreciation for Roller Derby girls and their sport. I am now a fan of Northside Fury!

Last Night my Wife and I took our Covenant Group out for Dinner and a Movie at 'Star Cinema Grill'…read morein the Springswoods area of Spring. We have been there before and this place is Absolutely Beautiful and the Food is Delicious. We rented out 'The Audrey', which is a Private Dinning area and Private Theater with those comfortable seats you can lay back in and enjoy the movie. But first, a little about 'Star Cinema Grill'. When you first walk into this place you are amazed at how Beautiful it is. The approach to the Ticket Area is Very Impressive. They even have Mask for those that forgot theirs - and their Entire Staff wears a Mask. Next is the Bar/Dinning area that is AwesomlyBeautiful. At first look you think you're on a Cruise and aboard a Very Beautiful Ship. Everything about this place is Elegant - even the walkways to each Theater - and the Restrooms - Yep, even them. My Wife said that she has a dress just like the carpet here - sure glad she didn't wear it last night, I might not find her. Now, back to the review - The Audrey Dining area was set up with separate tables for each couple social distanced apart. The Manager, Colleen, met with us and we went over the evening. Everyone arrived on time and MJ, our Private Server, took our drink orders and returned pretty quick with our drinks. I'm having their 'Frozen Jack-N-Coke' and my Wife is getting their 'Texas Mule'. F.J&C is my Favorite Drink and when it arrived I was totally impressed as to the appearance of this drink - it was Fluffed Up above the rim of the glass. This was a Pretty Good Drink and the taste of Jack - and it's Fluffed Up. My Wife enjoyed her 'Texas Mule' and had a couple of these during the evening. MJ, our Server, took all our orders and placed them electronically. Their Menu consist of 'Previews' as Appetizers, 'Feature Presentations' as Entrees (along with Pizza and 'Green Screen' for Salads) and 'Closing Credits' as Desserts. They also have listed 'Kids Corner' for the Kiddies. The other side of the Menu list all the Drinks they offer - and there is a lot of them with Very Cool Names, along with 'Classic Candy' and 'Quick Flicks' (Popcorn, etc..). They also have a lot of Draft Beers on Tap - that's always good to know. My Wife ordered their 'Love Me Tenders'; Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenderloins with Seasoned Fries, Texas Toast & Country Gravy. I am having 'The Godfather' (Pizza); Sausage, Pepperoni, Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms, Black Olives, Tomatoes and Cheese. Note: They make their own Crust here and you can also have their Cauliflower Crust. While we waited for our food we chatted and enjoyed our drinks - and I really enjoyed my Fluffy-Frozen Jack-N-Coke. This was some Good Stuff. Soon, and I mean Real Soon, MJ started bringing out our food. My Wife's 'Love Me Tenders' look really good and their 'Presentation' is Beautiful. My 'Godfather' also looks Very Yummy and it was. Nice Fresh Flavor of Everything and the Crust is Lightly-Crunchy-Liciousness. Everyone enjoyed their food and ate all they could but due to the abundance of food on each plate and there were plenty of To-Go-Boxes prepared. You get a lot of Deliciousness at Star Cinema - but I ate all of mine because that's what I do. 'Star Cinema' provides you with a list of Movies to choose from for your Private Showing and we choose 'The Personal History of David Copperfield' based on the 1850 Novel 'David Copperfield' by Charles Dickens, which is Very Interestingly Done Different-ly Movie you will ever see - or something like that. You also can bring in any Movie you want on DVD (except a Disney Film) and it will be shown on the Big Screen for your Private Groups Enjoyment. When Dinner was done, we took our seats in the Theater section of 'The Audrey' which has those Plush Seats and more. They also offer Blankets for you to wrap up in if that's what you want - and a lot of our Group did just that. This place really goes all out for Customer Service. My Wife and I grabbed some seats and opened up our Popcorn Boxes that they provided for Everyone - and started enjoying the Coming Attractions and the Popcorn. This Popcorn is pretty good. I'm not a Popcorn Eater per-say but - I finished off my entire box half way through the movie - It's That Good. We enjoyed the Movie and it's Delightful Weirdness. Our Server stayed with us the entire time providing the Best Service you could get anywhere - and this is at a Theater. The 'Star Cinema Grill' offers the Best Service along with Delicious Food in a Very Elegant Setting. They also have $5 Tuesdays for Movies and offer Special Drinks on various days for only $5 - such as the 'Texas Mule' on Thursdays along with 'Craftmans Boch' - a Very Dark Beer that some of our Group enjoyed - and did I tell you I enjoyed my 'Fluffy-Frozen Jack-N-Coke? - well, I did. Check out the 'Star Cinema Grill' on Facebook and on-line - They are Awesome - They also can Delivery your Food Order via Grubhub directly to your home or office.
