Late post: I booked a paint and sip experience with my mom and family. I arrived on time, but they…read morearrived a few minutes late. Once the class started, I had to step away from my own painting to help guide them through the first few steps, which felt a bit off. The instructor moved through the class a bit too quickly at times, and I found myself trying to catch up. As someone who doesn't paint, I would've preferred a slower pace. Wine is not included, but they do offer a selection for purchase. Overall, it was a nice experience, but could be more enjoyable with a more relaxed pace and clearer accommodation for late arrivals.

I'm giving this two stars for the amazing staff and seemingly sweet instructor, but deducting for…read morethe owner. I reached out privately to the staff, who responded immediately, informing me they sent my complaint to the owner who would followup- it's been over a month though, so I reserve the right to now give me experience with this location. Experience: My friend and I were going through a lot in 2025 and I thought a paint night for us would be a great solution to pick up our spirits, little did I know choosing Pinos Palette was a terrible decision... When I arrived, the instructor and everyone there seems super sweet and it seemed like it was gonna be a fantastic night. Unfortunately, my friend (who also suffers from anxiety) was rushing through traffic to make the tough call time in Pasadena. She arrived just as the class was starting, and we were excited to get together and start painting, unfortunately in her rush, she forgot her drivers license. The door person to check people in pressured her to find her ID, which she couldn't, we asked if we could just paint we weren't even planning on drinking that night, but the guy refused and instead gave us a little slip of paper telling us to text this number and ask for a reschedule. I knew at the time that we should've just painted because it was gonna be near impossible to go back and find another time during the week, As again it's Pasadena in traffic is insane. Why is it a 7 PM class? But I shook it off and texted for a reschedule for my friend, but again she suffers for anxiety and has spontaneous fits that make it hard for her at times. And unfortunately, she had anxiety attack right before our reschedule time so we were a few minutes late and saw them painting inside. We didn't want to disturb the class so I texted the owner again to please reschedule, And what does he do? He texts back with a stern "this is your last chance". You're the business owner and that's your attitude? How about a refund upfront because such energy is dark and a pain to deal with- When I'm going through all this just to try and make my friend happy. So we missed our chance because they don't offer refunds, but you know what good! Because after that text and the owner's attitude, screw going to this place. Everyone's going through a lot and you're gonna treat people like this?

She was a fantastic art guide for the children- she encouraged collaboration and open thinking, joy and whimsy! Love how the class was all about connection and process rather than cookie cutter pieces. Looking forward to taking a class there myself for me and my friends. They offer lots of interesting classes and workshops too. A true community gem! Thank you, Hive!

It's a really fun night and something different to do in San Diego. For either a girls night out, date night, private party or group outing like we did, I highly recommend it!
