    Finished work at City Art Room

    Visited City Art Room on a date...looking for something new to do. We purchased the instructed package which allows you to bring your own artwork to have sketched by the instructor on canvas. The sketch provides a guide for your canvas painting. Our instructor was great! She sketched our works onto the canvas with ease and provided suggestions on how to get started. City Art Room differs from other paint and wine locations, as they offer free-style and instructed options. If you get the instructed package you will have guidance. If not, you are own your own. Not a bad thing if you are looking for a space to be creative and relax! The space is very self-serve/DIY. You choose your own paints, brushes, mixing, etc. You can choose to paint canvas, wine/beer glass, clay or finger painting. This allows you to have many options in the event you choose to visit again. It is also a great space for parties or group gatherings. Space is limited; therefore, I would not recommend over 35 or so people (my estimation). I will certainly return! Had a great time!

    Maaaaan Kim has some serious patience. Like forrreals. My mother and I had a mommy/daughter day. Spent the whole day hanging out (a bday gift for me) For $20 you have the option of painting on a glass mug or cup, bracelet, canvas, or you can sculpt/mold some clay and paint on it. I like the options because a lot of places just have the whole paint and sip thing, which is cute, but sometimes you wanna switch it up, ya know. So our session started at 4 pm. Sessions are an hour and a half, but uuuuuh yea we were there for like 2 1/2 hours. Sorry Kim! My mom was doing too much. She kept calling Kim to come and help. Kim sketched the drawing out for my mom, helped with the painting. Basically it was a collaborative effort when it came to my moms work. It's pretty dope too. Kim was mad patient though cause yeeeeaaa she had other people there and she was mad attentive when it came to everyone. She checked up on me providing me some tools. I did the clay joint. It came out pretty well. She started me off with a couple tips. Asked me if I needed help along the way. Kim is very nice. She also remembered my husband and I from 2 years ago before they set up the Art Room. She remembered I was pregnant. She remembered the painting my husband did. She also gave me a birthday gift. This is a dope idea for team building, kids parties, family reunions, date night... Check this place out! They're on Groupon... wink wink...

    This was my first time doing paint and sip. I had a wonderful experience. The artist working was very accommodating to our big party (some that arrived late). I would definitely come back. I also got a free beer mug for checking on yelp. WOOT! The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the place is small for how much people are painting in the room.

    Went here last weekend as a last minute thing to do for my cousin's birthday. The staff was nice. There was only one person working and it was quite busy but she handled it well. The music is free for choosing, which can get a little weird when you have one group who likes one thing and another group who likes another. Anyways, the place is comfortable. You bring your own food and drinks. They supply everything else. This place is ok, it can be better. Some of my group was running late and she did accommodate us. I'll probably try another place next time. I feel this place could be better.....maybe more staff and a set playlist as far as music, something more neutral. It's hard when one group wants to hear City girls and the other group wants to hear Kamasi Washington. Ijs.

    A friend found this sip & paint online as an option for her birthday. It stuck out because we liked the pricing options $15 just to hang out & still BYOB, $25 you can free style so no assistance, and $35 you can have the artist draw whatever you like just show a picture (these are online prices only as the price for drop in is different). You also don't have to do a canvas you have more options like a glass, baseball hat, wooden plaques or a tote bag. They even have clay you can sculpt and paint. Karaoke is also available. Upon arriving we were greeted by Kim who told us to sit anywhere. She got us started by checking us all in and seeing what each wanted to do. Everyone expect me did the assisted canvas painting and I choose to do a free style on a tote bag. It was such a great experience and Kim amazing! She was able to sketch all of their individual pictures that they showed her and answered any and all questions we had. I had a great time and will definitely be back! This is a much better option than your typical sip & paints where you all are painting the same thing, this gives a chance for everyone can choose what they like. And even though we ate before, loved that you can bring your own food or have food delivered as well. Only con would be is that it could be hard to find when it's dark, I'm familiar with the area so I found it easy

    I came here for my birthday and I'm so glad I did!! It was absolutely an amazing experience and Kim (our artist) was so much fun! She was able to sketch all of our individual pictures and did it quickly! She even went over which parts to paint first and made it a paint by numbers! Whenever we asked she was available to show us various brush strokes for each effect our painting called for ie. Texture and shadowing. Overall I had a blast and I will definitely return as the prices were great too and it gave us so many different options to choose from as opposed to the basic canvas and picture that's already selected for you.

    The place is a fun experience! I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a challenge. They have a laser…read moretag and then something called "The Grid". Although I haven't tried laser tag, I did attempt the grid. It's very much similar to activate except it has 30 rooms with each containing a different point value & different objectives. The goal is for the team containing 2-5 people to reach 1,000 points. The first time I went with my group, we only got 175. It's totally okay for that to happen, I'd highly suggest going with 3-5 players at least for some of the rooms you encounter, but I'm sure if there is only two they compromise for it. Overall is a fun experience, and it is highly suggested that you wear comfortable clothes and some closed toe shoes. This is due to the fact that some of the rooms deal with mental, physical, skill, or a bit of it all. You are being timed from 30, 60, or 90 minutes. I would highly suggest the 90 minute one to ensure you have a chance to visit 85-90% of the rooms. They have hand sanitizers located on some of the walls outside the room as well! Really funny experience! They also have a concession stand as well.

    This place was a great find. We wanted something to do for the afternoon, but don't like the idea…read moreof being locked in an escape room. We spent an hour in The Grid which is 30 rooms that each have different challenges in each one. Some were definitely more challenging than others. But we had so much fun together solving the challenges. Something different to try with friends.
