I scheduled a class to celebrate for a friend and it was unfortunately cancelled, via email the day…read morebefore the class, with a note to confirm the email was received. I did not see this email. When a response from me was not sent to them confirming I received the email, they had my phone number, why did I not receive a call. So not knowing, I showed to a closed Uncorked, I called the business number listed only to hear that I was sent an email cancelling the class due to the lack of sign ups. Ok, First, cancelling the day prior to a scheduled event does not give the customer an appropriate amount of time to plan something else in lieu of the original celebration plan. Again considering they had my phone number why didn't I receive a text or phone call to confirm. This morning, I found the email and responded and asked for a REFUND of which I still have not received! I expressed I had no interest in scheduling another event, and not I have not received a refund. You would think considering that it was cancelled by them I would have received it already! I WILL NEVER SCHEDULE ANYTHING WITH UNCORKED AGAIN! GIVE ME MY REFUND!

Instead of being called Uncorked, the place should be called Unprepared. Scheduled class 2 months…read moreago, picked out our painting (tents of ocean grove). The day of the event we got a message from the owner that we would be unable to do this painting. The reason we chose this place was bc we wanted to do the tents. The owner said they could not do that one. We had a good sized group and had prepaid months in advance. Our group was very disappointed as most were from out of town and loved Ocean Grove OCGMA Tent community. The manager would not even honor a Groupon price. We had 20. Plus people attending. The instructor was very unmotivated. No personality. It was a job she gets paid to do nothing more nothing less. Go somewhere else or don't pay in full, make them put it in writing what they said they would do. Otherwise you will probably waste your money and be frustrated like we were.

Michelle was our host and she was very nice and willing to help. When you walk in you pick your seats and start collecting your supplies (colored sea glass for the tree). The one thing that could use improvement is explain everything upfront since everyone works at a different pace. Also, explain how the decorations are affixed. I glued down my lights but didn't realize there were beads that can be strung on them. That's why explaining upfront would help any confusion. Overall, it was a great time and a BYOB event.

We had arrived and was welcomed in by our instructor Julia. We had brought in some snacks and wine. Plates, cups, and ice were available for us to use. They had prepared the easel, canvas, paint brushes, and paints that we would be using. Julia began her lesson and showed us our painting that we would be working on. Julia was super helpful and patient with helping us make our masterpieces. I am no Picasso but with Julia's guidance I didn't do too shabby! Overall it was a really fun team building activity for myself and coworkers. This was my first time at a sip and paint and Julia made it so enjoyable. There was also some music playing in the background as we painted which made it more fun.

I'm so glad this place is BYOB too so we could drink whatever we wanted (no hard liquor). Overall, a super fun experience to decompress and feel artsy even if you are the least creative person (like me).

Admittedly, I'm not the best with calling out suggestions, but the more I go, the more I try to participate more. I hope this place catches on more and they can get more people in the audience! I really enjoy my time with them and I know others would, too!

I had such a horrible experience here…read more Oddly enough I was an audience member, so you'd think I'd have a good time. Oddly enough I was one of only maybe 5 or 6 people in the theater, and a paying spectator, so you'd think I'd be valued on some level. Oddly enough, I was all dolled up, in a cute skirt, cute hair, faux fur coat, so you'd think someone would at least take my show of respect as a signal I should be treated with the slightest kindness. Oddly enough, I clapped, I smiled, I heckled no one, Heck I even tried to participate when the MC lady tried to get "the crowd" hyped up. So you'd think someone would have thought, "geez, she paid, she's a kind spectator, she got all dressed up like it is the 1950s and I was having a night at the theater. You may think that, but you'd be wrong. During the audience participation, I said something that was, granted, kind of dumb. But it wasn't even funny dumb. It was more like, "did you hear the question, lady?" Truth be told, I did but I guess I was absent minded and gave a dumb answer. Truthfully, it made no real difference that I made an airhead comment. I'm not even a comedian but I can think of a way to make a joke about my airhead comment -- without making me feel like a fool. But that's what the MC did, and later one of the performers referenced the airhead-y comment, effectively making me a human call-back joke. I felt mortified, even though there were only 5-6 spectators in the room. I love comedy. I follow comedians. I read about their lives. I read about comedic theory. I am fascinated to learn that Keenan Ivory Wayans says there's a "math of the joke." I am equally interested in learning more about how before she was in Friends, Lisa Kudrow studied sit-com, like it was a full time job. My point is that, while I am not a performer, I do know a little about comedy. The one thing I know for sure is that in Improv, the overriding philosophy is "yes, and..." That means that, when someone says something, the improv artist must never negate anything someone else says. Instead the second actor adds to what the first person said. Knowing that "yes and" is central to Improv, I am disappointed that at this particular improv performance, both the MC (instructor) and performer literally mocked me, negating everything that I brought to their stage: a paid ticket, a good attitude, respectful attire and a willingness to participate. What I received in return was the overriding internal feeling that "I must never return here again."

My party agreed to the 6 pm class instead, however, it was not mentioned prior that this was actually a kids class that was scheduled. The instructor had the 3 of us adults and the few children doing different projects and so there was little to no direction throughout the class as well as much distraction. What was supposed to be a fun night out for my mom, sister-in-law, and me turned out to be a huge headache.

We ordered a party for twenty people and they were able to accommodate our every request-extra room, extra time, ordering food, etc. We started the party right on time and finished right on time, something I haven't seen happen at any party I've had in a while. I was amazed. The teacher, a 16 year old girl, was also very professional. She helped my friends and made sure that every person, no matter their artistic level. I was very impressed and very pleased with how the paintings turned out. I would highly recommend this business for classes and parties.

After having tried VR at recent bachelor party, my husband surprised us with a reservation at…read moreOasis. It was absolutely the most fun I've had in a long time. I'm a casual gamer, but brand new to VR, so it took a good 15min of my hour timeslot to get used to handling the controls and navigating the menu. I kept on getting really excited and asking all these random questions and there was always someone on their helpful staff to answer them. I can tell they get asked alot of the same things by different people. And there's so much to try! Our party did multiplayer co-op campaigns (shooting arrows at ogres) as well as explored our own interests (ninjaing fruit, swinging golf clubs, falling off planks, similating a vacation, flying though google earth maps). I think there's over 50 options to choose from, and from at least what I've tried, are all high quality games. Although each uses the controls a slightly different way (e.g. one game might need a button click to pick up an object while another needed you to raise your hand up and down), and some games were not always beginner friendly. The multiplayers were also a bit difficult to coordinate and may have been better if our VR stations were closer together. We also tried their 4D locomotion zone and opted for a racing game. The seats really do shift pretty intensely in all directions and you can feel the wind in your face. I didn't feel like the controls were very responsive and definitely felt motion sick after 2 laps. Probably because I'm old and sensitive to vertigo but I would not do again. The area itself is spacious and clean and fun. Screens everywhere, rainbow lights on electronics, artsy wallpaper that illustrates a world with angry birds & alice in wonderland & rocky balboa & a giant shark with jaws, but in a very natural way. They also have benches and coat racks (and should consider shelf/safe space for handbags) and even cocktail tables for catering or events. All in all they have 20ish stations and seems popular with walk-ins, at least on the saturday morning we were there. I am definitely looking into planning a future event here!
