I can't state enough how much I enjoy experiencing community here. Staff and participants are wonderful. Always enjoy seeing others painting and their finished work. I've attended 12-13 classes this year already and plan to do many more. Also, they offer a "punch or stamp card" for attending classes. Five or six classes gets you a FREE "Addicted Painter" apron. LOVE mine! Five to six more gets you a FREE class! read more

My friends and I did splatter painting and it was SO much fun! You can purchase drinks while you do this as well. There's lots of different ways to paint such as brushes, sponges, balloons/darts, etc! Would definitely recommend for a unique date night, girls night, or team bonding experience! read more

Hadn't been to Canvas and Cocktails in a while and this was my first trip to the location in Park Meadows. As always, things are well organized from check-in, to getting supplies, to instructions on painting the creation of the night. Tonight's painting was Sorbet Sunset. Emma, our instructor, told us it was one of the easy ones. There was a lot of blending for the ombré effect of the mountains but she gave very clear directions. Plenty of options for beverages (adult and for the kids) and if you want to shop around a bit, they have cute novelty items and gifts. read more

Perfect place for a teenagers birthday party! My daughter turned 15 and all she wanted to do was paint. We signed up for the free painting that is on the patio, only $25.00 for 3 hours of painting. The staff helps whenever the kids need it, they supply all the paints and canvas. Each kid got a free mock tail also! Thanks to the wonderful folks here my daughter had a great birthday! read more

SO. MUCH. FUN! I came here because of mine asked me to join her and her mom. I'm so thankful I did! I loved the entire atmosphere, and vibes of this place. Drinks here aren't badly priced. I seen it was 5$ for most drinks. Water is free. And they have sodas as well. I love how it was very paint by numbers but without the numbers . Super simple to follow and we were encouraged to aLways use whatEver colors we wanted to make the painting our own. I will definitely be back to paint some more! read more

It was a great experience! The time seems short but it more than enough time to complete a masterpiece ! Staff super friendly ! It is located inside the Park Meadows mall so theres plenty of parking. read more

What a wonderful place! The paintings are challenging yet fun and the teachers and classes are for all skill levels and age groups. The management in particular went out of their way to help me track down an item I left behind, they communicated promptly, and demonstrated empathy and respect towards a my situation. Super impressed by this business. Highly recommend. read more

Canvas and Cocktails - I was inspired by Japan, and Mount Shasta. - Paint & Sip Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

A great time was had by all. No alcohol needed but it doesn't hurt either. You can paint whatever you like. Of course, there's the guided tour of the evening's picture. You'll have all the primary colors, white, and black. Knowing how to mix colors is helpful but they'll gladly help out if you're unsure. No fan brushes here so if you're a modern day Bob Ross, you'll need to bring your own. That one would've been useful for the happy little trees in our forest scene. My trees (or at least the branches) ended up a little sad instead, haha. read more

This was my first time at Canvas and Cocktails. I went with some friends who had been here before. We had been wanting to go for a while, but on more than one occasion, by the time we identified a painting we wanted to do, and picked a date, the class was full. We showed up a few minutes early on a Saturday morning. Several people were already there, and a bunch showed up right behind us. It took a little while to get checked in. They showed us where we would be sitting, got us some smocks, dropped off brushes, and we waited for the class to start. It was pretty packed (lots of nice people). It was mostly a younger crowd than I expected, but there was a lot of positive energy. My one real criticism would be that with this many people, it was a little hard to get a good view of the subject material. As far as the rest goes, the staff was excellent. They were friendly, upbeat, and helpful. the instruction on the actual painting process was fine. The class included a free drink (mimosa, wine, or beer). I opted for the house Merlot and it was pretty decent. Extra drinks were only $3 for a healthy pour of wine, or $2 for a Coors Light (other beers may have been a bit more). All in all, I had a great time, and was happy with the instruction we received. And, I think my painting turned out pretty good as well. read more

Canvas and Cocktails - Paris at night - Paint & Sip Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

My mom and I finally tried Canvas and Cocktails this past weekend and we loved it! For $35 we got a two hour step by step painting class (all supplies included), a free mimosa, and a great time full of music, singing and just fun! Plus you go home with your painting! We did the Southglenn location because my mom really liked the painting they were doing Saturday AM. It is a huge shop (I had no idea) and it has tons of parking outside since it is part of the shops of Southglenn. We ended up getting to the place 15m early and boy am I glad we did. It was SO packed I was a little nervous that it wasn't going to be a great experience. The normal class also included a bachelorette party, red hat society party and 2 birthdays all in it! There must have been 60 people there and it really backed up the check in (it was out the door!!). We got sat at a "bistro" table way back by the bar. Nice because it was intimate (2 seats set apart from the main lines of tables), but really far back from the instructor. Still, as we started to paint it ended up being easy to follow and the instructor has a mic, so we could hear just fine. If you learn by sight however, I would sit closer, you definitely are set back at the bistro tables. As everyone has said, you go in and think - how in the heck am I going to paint that - and by the end you have this semi-masterpiece you can't believe you painted. It is so much fun! We really liked it and would do it again. We had considered doing a party here, until we saw that they basically just group you in with everyone else. Not intimate enough for me (for a party), but it was OK for a fun thing to do on a Saturday! read more

I might quit my job cause I'm a fantastic painter... Okay I kid. Came here for an organized girls night not knowing what to expect...except fun since everyone raves about this place. For $35 you get your own canvas, unlimited blobs of paint colors, use of their easel, paint brushes, and apron. You just show up with a smile and some cash in hand for $3 beers/wine. There picnic table seating for the painters while the instructor stands on a stage in front of the class. She teaches you step by step how to recreate the painting of the night. At first I was skeptical that mine would come out looking like a "denver sunset" but by the end of the night it actually looked...good. Not only was she very detailed on her "how tos" but she played upbeat pop music while we got our paint on. Other than a few drunk dudes that were there it was a fabulous time. You get to spend about 2.5 hours there with your friends and feel like an artist by the time you leave! By the way, we enjoyed C and C at their southglenn location. You can't beat front of the store, unlimited parking...unlike cherry creek! read more

Canvas and Cocktails - My creation! - Paint & Sip Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

What a blast! Having never done this before, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm not artistically inclined like my siblings and I was hesitant to show how poorly of a painter I was, but had so much fun. Kazan was our instructor and Claire was her right hand woman that night. We painted a landscape of the Denver city line. What's neat is that everyone follows the same steps and process but ends up looking so different from one another. I think it's quite unique how each of us thinks differently and sees a painting in a different light. I would highly recommend signing up and spending the two hours with a room of people who are looking to have just as much fun as you are. This is great for co-workers, team events, birthday parties and just a girl's night out. read more

This is a neat place with a lot of character of its own. You can make your experience what you want it to be. Paint in the lines, or go outside of the box. There's a really good instructor who will walk you step by step of what you should to in order to recreate your very own painting of the original they are teaching you from. It's completely up to you if you want to follow them completely, just a little or go your own way. There are a ton of people in each session and you meet some fun and interesting people along your adventure if you choose. If you need a little liquid courage to help you loosen up to paint, they can get you that too from the bar. Prices seemed reasonable, but I really wasn't in a drinking mood so my free Mimosa with the session was enough for me. There is a small gift shop as well where you can find unique gifts before, during and after your session is complete. It's a great way to waste some time if you arrive early or want to linger a bit for the paint to dry. I made a lot of discoveries on our adventure to Canvas and Cocktails. My Discoveries 1: I can paint a background like no one's business 2: Paint and Mimosa do not mix (together in the cup OOOPS!!!) 3: I can make the Eiffel tower look like a Pagoda 4: NONE of my Grandmothers artistic ability was passed down to me. 5: I like paint by numbers It was a fun 2 1/2 hours and could be a fun for the family event for sure. I may go back, but probably not soon. read more

SO MUCH FUN!!!!! If you have never been before then you must go!!! Excellent place for a girls night out or a birthday. I come here with my girlfriends at least every couple months and I have an entire collection of paintings hanging on my wall. This location gets super crowded on the weekends but that doesn't bother me. It's $40 on the weekends, on Sunday night it's $25 and some of these other days they charge $35. They do also offer a free glass of wine or mimosa on certain days, make sure you check the calendar on their website. The instructors are very energetic and funny. They play loud music and it's just an amazing time all together! You can win a free class while you are there as well. I love it that they don't rush you! Even tho some people complain about the cost and not getting at least one drink for free I feel like the drinks are pretty cheap. It seems like happy hour prices. If I had the time I'd come here every day! read more

I know there are lots of companies who have variations of names for drinking alcohol and painting. Since this was my first time at a place like this, I can't compare this places to other places, but I can share my experience here. We came as a group for a friends birthday. We were pretty nervous about the whole experience because I have friends who went and posted pictures of their amazing paintings, and I was afraid my painting was going to turn out to be a disaster. However, that wasn't the case at all. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I didn't even have to explain it was my first time here. Once they greeted you at the door, someone showed me to the register where the cashier asked if this was my first time and made friendly small talk. Once I paid, they lead you over to their bar area where you can pick your free drink. Ours was on a sangria day but if you didn't want a sangria they wouldn't substitute it out for you. Once you got your drink, they led us over to another staff who showed us to our seats and told us to get an apron and how many pumps of each color of paint to get. Even though our big group RSVP separately/ as small groups and not as a big group, they were still nice enough to seat is all together. Once your settled in, grabbed your paint, apron, and drink, we still had time to wander around and socialize or look at other painting hung on the wall before the class started. Once we started, the instructor explained the brushes we were using and how to identify them apart, and took is step by step on how to draw a beautiful painting with simple lines and geometric shapes. If we didn't want the picture to look exactly like the demo, we were free to add/ subtract/ substitute colors, or even improvise however we wanted. It was a very casual and comfortable environment with extremely friendly staff. I had a wonderful experience and had a lot of fun. And the best part? You don't have to any experience in painting or drawing, meaning anyone can do it! read more

I love that Canvas & Cocktails has both a store front location and travels to some local breweries I may not have tried otherwise.

Canvas and Cocktails - The Child at Grandma's House Brewery - Paint & Sip Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

LOVE THIS PLACE! I've done a number of paintings with Canvas & Cocktails and it's always a good time. I do prefer this Southglenn location to Cherry Creek - closer to home, easier to park, and (most of the time) not as crowded. Did the Venice painting yesterday morning. Our instructor was fantastic! It was the first time I had done a class with her and I really wish I could remember her name. She walked us through every step, stepped aside so we could see what she was doing, and adjusted her pace to ensure we were all with her. Already looking forward to going again in October for another mimosa morning (there really is no better way to start the day). They also sell cute clothes, hats, scarves, jewelry, etc. I typically find something I like. Yesterday it was a fun ring. And, for being part of the class, you get 20% off any retail. read more

Canvas and Cocktails - Our masterpieces - Paint & Sip Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

As usual...I loveeeed this place! Painted the Moonlight Tulips painting a couple weeks ago for a mimosa morning with a good friend of mine who had never been here! She loved it! Our instructor Sarah, was great and so friendly! The paintings turned out so wonderful, couldn't wait to hang another on my wall. I think this is #5 now haha! Canvas n Cocktails never fails to impress me. From the awesome instructors, to the atmosphere of the place, to the bartenders...its just a great experience. I still tell my guests at the hotel I work at about this place! Everyone I have recommended it to always tell me they had a great time! I read another review that was posted trying to compare this place to Sipping and Painting.(I have been there as well). I kind of agree on the snacks thing... Sipping and Painting puts out little bit of snacks, just liek cheese and crackers, fruit, that type of thing. That may be a nice thing to add here at C&C. It definitely does not take away any stars on my review though. read more

Fun, fun, fun! Paintings range from $25-$40 for the painting. If you go to their website you can see what they are teaching for the day or night and call in or make your reservation on their site. My sister and I had a date day there for the first time and definitely are not painters of any sort. Our instructor was very good at describing what and how to mix the colors, brushes to use, how to do it all... you can follow them exactly or do your own thing. The world is literally your canvas and you paint however you like! In between instruction she turns on music ... and I have to say, it is very relaxing and did I mention fun?? We went during family time and it was fun to see how the kids translate their paintings. Reminds us to just let loose! Arrive early to check in so you can sit where you want, too because the class fills up super fast. Good reminder is to wear something you don't mind getting paint on and purses wise, a purse you don't mind getting paint on. They provide apron, easel, canvas, brushes, unlimited paint. At the end of the night you do get to walk away with your 16x20 masterpiece and feel like you are Van Gogh. Would I do this again? ABSOLUTELY. read more

Been to this Canvas And Cocktails Southglenn I'm's. It's great and the ladies are really take care of you. Not only with drinks but also the adventure of painting. Every time I go near a try to bring someone new and everyone always enjoys it. It's definitely the place to go if someone comes to visit. Last night was the first night that we painted on wood and it was great because I already have like six or seven paintings from this place. Would definitely recommend. Have fun there! read more

We have painted at Canvass and Cocktails approximately 9 times over the years (yes, we're what you would call "addicts"). It's a great date night, girls' night, birthday, family night - you name the occasion; it's perfect! Our family went last night for a Thanksgiving activity - since we all wouldn't be together today - and we were so excited to see that Dre was our teacher! She always brings so much energy and so much fun to her classes! We laughed all night, jammed to great music and painted a beautiful winter-scape (the one with the awesome purple road! ;) that complements our Christmas tree just perfectly. read more

Canvas and Cocktails - The beautiful purple road! - Paint & Sip Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

I went to a South Denver canvas and cocktails event this summer that was Lion King themed, because of course, who doesn't love Lion King? It was actually such a popular event that it booked up before any of my friends could join so I actually went to the event alone, but I absolutely loved it! The teacher was great and clear with her directions and she made a point to check on each of us frequently to see how we were doing. She made the class really fun by playing Lion King soundtrack music the whole time! I was really pleased with how my painting turned out and surprised I was able to get it done in a little less than 2 hours! Loved it and will definitely go to another event in the future! read more

Canvas and Cocktails - Paint & Sip Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

I have gone to this location several times for a girls night out. There's plenty of places to eat before the glass begins and since it's all in the shopping area we usually walk from dinner to Canvas and Cocktails and then back to our car. There is plenty of parking but you should be there no later than 15 or 29 minutes before class so that you can peacefully prepare for painting. If you are not artistically gifted simply follow the instructions and drink more wine! It's about the process not the product! Some of my paintings hang on my walls and others I have left for them to dispose of properly . I feel the price could be a bit more affordable but at the same time it's worth it to do something fun and different. You can paint what the instructor is painting or go rogue and create your own thing! Every instructor I've had has been upbeat and very good at explaining how to create a masterpiece. The wine is purchased at the bar and is not included in the project/admission price. There is a bouquet to shop at as well. read more

This place is so great! I just went for my second time on Saturday and had Dre as my instructor. She was SO much fun and seriously has the best personality for her job. Honestly, she made it SO much fun and I would come back just to have her teach me again. I don't drink and it was still a blast for my husband and I, and we're both far from what we could consider "artists". It doesn't matter, she made it so easy for us, while still allowing us to be creative and individual. If you haven't been you need to go at least once, you'll be hooked!!! read more

I decided to update my review based on my most recent experience. Two of my girlfriends wanted to do a girls night at Canvas and Cocktails. Because I hadn't been there in over a year and I adore my girlfriends, I agreed. Unfortunately, my previous review still stands! It's too crowded. It's a terrible place to socialize because of the layout and the loudness of the instructor. The paintings are still bad. The prices are still incredibly high for what you get. What actually irked me this time was after spending $40 on no more than $8 worth of materials and $2 on a $0.25 can of Diet Coke, they verbally requested tips. Twice. There were over 60 people in the store that night. The "tuition" alone brought in BANK for this store... and that doesn't include all the liquor they sold. I get that people may want to leave tips-- I did at the bar-- but don't request that people leave tips. That is so incredibly tacky. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. read more

Had a really fun time. This is an awesome place for a first date - there's a fun activity, there's time to talk, and you can split a bottle of wine! The instructors are great at leading a super-fun-painting-101 for each night, and taking you through a painting one step at a time. That being said, I always just paint whatever I want. My girlfriend and I just went back for the anniversary of our first date (which was at Canvas and Cocktails) and had just as much fun the second time. read more

I love this place, went with a group of ladies. Be sure to reserve your spot. It's $40 to paint and most bottles of wine were about $25. The instructor goes step by step. She gave us plenty of time and there were dance breaks and drink breaks. The session was full but I had plenty of room to paint. Don't wear too expensive clothes, there are aprons but there are also little kids carrying paint. I will definitely be back for more! read more

I came for Mimosa Morning and we painted Red Trees (or in my case, they turned out to be red flowers - but that's what I was going for). The space is very large and open with high ceilings, but overall, this equates to a certain coldness. They were set up for about 50 painters and there was only about 20, so maybe it was more of an empty feeling than anything. There is a retail area filled with stuff to peruse, and they are sure to remind you of it when you have a 10-15 min break to let your painting dry. With admission, we received a mimosa and it was tasty even though I only had 1 - not sure of the cost for extra glasses. The instructor did a good job explaining what to do, added a bit of humor to her demo and kept the music at a good background level. Overall, I would pick Sipping & Painting over C&C because of proximity to home and general vibe BUT I did have a great time at C&C, would be willing to try the one in Cherry Creek and think it is cool that my canvas was larger here than Sipping & Painting. read more

I came here last night for a girls night out and we had an amazing time! None of us were artsy at all -- but Dre, the instructor, was hilarious and made each step extremely easy to follow. You also don't have to follow the directions at all and can change up the colors if you want to, etc -- the emphasis was on having fun! They paced the class great, the music was fantastic, and they even had a gift/clothing store where I was able to find a top and a dress to take home -- really great clothing items! I definitely want to come back with the hubs! read more

Canvas and Cocktails - Paint & Sip Near Me - Lone Tree, Colorado

Everything was great, we had a lot of fun. I was contacted like 3 times before our painting date about who I wanted to sit with, and the first time they called they had us down for the wrong day. My friend signed up separately from myself so there were only two of us. For larger groups they put names on the tables, for parties of 1 or 2 they just put a number on the seat. It's like, okay thanks for the reminder that I'm by myself and just a number... Also, they sell some really cute items in the store, but not in a huge variety of sizes so unless you are size small or medium they probably already sold out of whatever dress you might have liked to buy. Finally, I guess I should have put more thought into what I was wearing, it would have been nice to get a reminder from the staff prior to arriving. I wasn't expecting the place to be so jam packed with people, which was cool but on the downside less room to move around means a higher chance you'll make a mess of yourself. We will back, we really enjoyed our experience; just thought I'd note some things to hopefully spare someone else's jeans! read more

Last night for my birthday, some friends and I crashed Canvas and Cocktails in the Southglenn complex. I had so heard so much about it, and it was about time to put my brush to the canvas and see what it was all about. Also, we were celebrating my birthday. You guys, it was so much fun. Like, the most fun EVER.You come in the door, and it's like walking into a party. The energy is up, the music is blasting and there is a huge line at the bar. There is ALWAYS a huge line at the bar. You check in, pay and are given a handful of brushes. They have names; baby brush, round brush, big brush. Yeah, it's pretty self-explanatory. You can pick all different kinds of painting, depending on their schedule. My friends met me there, all dressed in their aprons - ready to paint the town. Or a canvas. I pulled on my apron, tied it, sat down. My friend looked over at me. "You should get a new apron." "Why?" "Because your apron has a penis painted on it." Indeed it did, at the bottom, just in the perfect spot.My friends proceeded to pee in their pants laughing while I switched aprons. The class was absolutely packed, and everyone was in the mood to party. We were painting a replica of Van Gogh's Starry Night. I was intimidated by it. We lined up, got our 3 squirts of paint and got ready to create a masterpiece. The instructor (who was possibly the most bombastically cheery person on earth) began with basic instructions for painting. "Okay ladies...you are going to start with a little black and a little blue. Does everyone have wine? Yes? Whoooooo!!" (Tons of women raise and wave their paint brushes in the air like we are at a rave). Then, we paint. It's relaxing and soothing and hilarious. People are standing up and dancing in the aisles to "Party Rock Anthem." It's weird and awesome at the same time. One of things that I found amazing is that even though we were all following the exact same directions with the exact same colors, our paintings were SO different. My friend used purple in hers so that it would match a certain room in her house. I loved that idea.I didn't veer to far from the instructions, but I did try to add a certain yellow glow that radiated out from the right side of my stars and moons. That made it a little different, at least. The wine helped mix it up, I think. I can't even capture it, but it was SO fun. It took about two hours and by the time we finished I was flush with the pure passion of painting. I had missed it so much - the smell of the paint, the feel of the brush against the canvas, the smear of yellow paint on my face. Sure, it was kind of like painting-by-number, but I don't care. read more

Here is a tip for my family, my friends, and most of all my husband. For every holiday and special event, I want to go here. I just love Canvas and Cocktails. It really taps into the artist that I think is buried deep (very, very deep) inside me. Though my paintings rarely end up great enough to grace my walls, the entire process is fun! From the moment I walk in and put on that painter's apron - I am an artist! I enjoy mixing up my colors and going rogue by not following directions -- which is totally encouraged here. My paintings aren't masterpieces, but I am still darn proud of them all. They all look better after a few glasses of wine, but isn't that true about everything? So in short, I love this place. Take me here, give me paint and wine, and I'm a happy girl. read more

Second time here and we had as much or more fun than the first time. Friendly staff, all the painting we could do AND, wine and beer at very reasonable prices. I'll be back. read more

Great music lots of fun, however for the price, you should get at least one beer/wine. Went with a large group, and to be honest, they oversold the place. I got more paint on me from my next door neighbors than on my canvas. It's obvious they are out to make a lot of money in one night and they did that night! I'd go back to something like this again, but not likely this location. Too many people in one tiny space all trying to get their painting just right. read more

Great place to relax and spend a night out with friends! For $35-40, you get unlimited paints, a canvas and a fun night of painting instruction. House beer and wine is only $3 but wine is also sold by the bottle. Both Southglenn and Cherry Creek locations are great - Cherry Creek is the original but it feels like there's a bit more space at the Southglenn location. I recently went here with 12 girlfriends and blogged about it: http://lgsmash.com/2012/04/13/fun-girls-night-at-canvas-and-cocktails/ read more

The best place for painting and fun! They have cute clothes and yummy drinks! The staff is so welcoming and actually seem to enjoy their jobs. I will definitely be returning! I would highly recommend for a group of friends or even a party for kids. Very enjoyable experience. read more
