Thank you Keya and the rest of the staff at Muse Paintbar. They were warm and welcoming. I was looking for an activity that my granddaughter's and I would enjoy. They are both very artistic and I thought that Muse Paintbar would be the perfect activity. Keya took us step by step: mixing colors, painting one section at a time, adding details to the painting. This process assured that each of us could be successful at our project. She circled the room to give us individual advice on our painting. She was the sweetest and a fabulous artist. I did take off one star, because we were not allowed to use their bathroom. If you are paying $40 a ticket, there should be a bathroom on the premises. Secondly, I had attended an evening event a year ago and you got one drink ticket and some snacks with your ticket. Today, you had to pay for any beverages or snacks, even a soda or water. So, the teachers were warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. The space was well set up and you were given plenty of brushes and paints. We really enjoyed the afternoon and will definitely be coming back for more. Thank you, Muse Paintbar.

Took my mom painting for her birthday! We had came here before and were happy with the outcome of the first time being here. This experience was a little more tougher to paint but we had an amazing time as usual here! The atmosphere is artistic and clean! Love the small bar they have for snack and such! The lemonade was a bit too sweet for my taste but it was good! The chips and guacamole were pretty good as well. Overall being here is fun and is well worth it! The instructors are so helpful and take their time in teaching you and helping you with your painting if you need it. Will be back again soon!

Thoroughly enjoyed an evening out - well-priced, well-instructed, well-supplied... everything from food and drinks to canvas and paints - just add friends and fun! Highly recommend. The place is accessible, clean, and welcoming.

The pandemic has brought out my artistic side. I draw and paint more than ever. So when I saw online their classes, i signed up for the Starry Eiffel tower. Their website has a lot of classes with a photo of what painting the class will be doing. The price at first was $39. The day of the class price dropped to $25. I suggest getting their early like 30 minutes. To unwind, get some bites etc. I loved that they allowed me to bring in my poke bowl. They do offer wine , but I was already fueling up on water. The place is spacious and has a cute set up. Marjan was our instructor and was great. She explained things slowly and encouraged us every step of the way. I thought this would be a fast art class , but no. It took 2 hours. No rush. Im definitely coming back, and this place is a great idea for a date night. Located near Fantasticks ice cream and BGR.

I had a really good time at my first paint party. My party of nine were seated near each other at two tables, everything was set up for our painting experience, and we didn't have to do any clean up at the end! I'm giving four stars over five because for all that the instructor was energetic, descriptive, and obviously talented, I couldn't see her painting. The painting class set up each reserved party before we got there. We were placed in a corner. I had expected the instructor to turn her easel or painting to us frequently so we could all see what she was describing. She did that a little, but I often had to stand up and walk ten feet away to follow along. Many in my party struggled and our birthday girl called out to the instructor for some clarifications. Again, a good instructor, but the room had corners and mostly, I was watching the inteuctor's back. I would do it again, but request to be placed in a better location in the studio. The food was and the drinks were fine (not gourmet or anything, but solid enough nibbles for sharing and libations for drinking). My painting came out okay, and I liked mixing acrylic colors and using different brushes.

I haven't been to Muse in years and we both super enjoyed our evening! The only downside was the kitchen was closed due to the cook having an emergency but that's totally fine, we enjoyed the chips + dip and the limonata punch that we shared! They made it really easy to make art of our beloved pup and I lol forward to hanging them up in our house!

My husband and I had a date night here recently and had Joe as our artist. His laugh/giggle made my night! Fast forward and I later saw his art for sale and he's very talented. The canvas were organized when we arrived with our names displayed at our seats. The explanation of how things worked was thorough and we really enjoyed ourselves. My husband had zero painting experience and easily followed along. My only criticism was the amount of time we had for breaks. It made the painting go longer than it had to, but I also completely understand that not everyone moved as fast as we did. All and all a great experience. Would recommend to others!

We were here for my niece's birthday party. I was impressed the moment we walked in and had to pause to soak it all in. The place was full of dazzling art work; and the vast array of easels alone would be enough to impress. The ambiance felt so out of ordinary and artsy, certainly very conducive to "musing"! The big public painting area is at the front, with 2 smaller private painting rooms adjacent to it. The rooms are partitioned using glass panels, so the entire place felt very big and open. In the back is the bar that serves wine and beer which obviously we did not get to utilize for the birthday party. It's been decades since I painted, but that's not an issue at all because we were given all kinds of help. The subject was already chosen by my niece and we were provided step by step group instructions from start to finish. There's also optional LED light ($5 fee) behind the canvas to help project the outline of the intended painting, There were multiple breaks during the session to allow for the paint to dry before applying another layer. We used these breaks to celebrate my niece's birthday party with food, drink and cake. BTW, it appeared it was not part of the deal for Muse Paintbar to orchestrate birthday parties, but the place does provide a table where we can place the food and drink. I could also observe that the instructor did not factor in the birthday festivities in his plan. But that wasn't an issue at all, he simply extended the break so we could finish our food. All in all, it was a very refreshing and enjoyable outside-of-the-box experience for me. It was my first time ever with acrylic paint. Everyone had a great time, and each brought home a very personalized souvenir!!

I decided to take my daughter on a little outing to do something fun. She decided she wanted to go painting so, I thought this would be a great idea. We arrived on a Wednesday evening and were greeting by our painting instructor. She was a very nice young lady who mentioned she was saving up to by her girlfriend a wedding ring! But we were advised of the room we were going to be paiting in and shown to our designated area. At this time, there were an optional mask mandate, but we kept ours on. We were in a room with bout 10 other couples. Before we got started, we ordered a couple of appetizers, truffle french fries with siracha ketchup and mozzarella sticks and a bottle of Sprite. To me the food was a bit pricey. So I advised the kiddo, this is just a snack, not dinner! Our food didn't take very long to arrive, but we both enjoyed our small bites! Our instructor began the class and we were off to to the races. I loved how energetic she was and how she would assist whenever you needed it. She was very helpful in describing how to make certain shapes and to help with your painting to come out well! You are allowed to deviate from the original painting as far as color choices as well. There are blow dryers to assist with drying the paintings fast to move on to next steps. Overall, this was a wonderful experience for myself and the kid! She enjoyed herself and asked to go back. I had so much fun, I would like to do this with my girlfriends as well as my "friend." Great date night option or even fun event for family and friends. And what better than to take home a piece of art to show for it. This was a fun experience!!

A group of colleagues that belong to my employer's association came out on a Friday night for a social outing. There was a total of 9 of us. Our session was scheduled for 7:30-10:00. Our painting was titled, "Jewel Sunset." When I first arrived, I was greeted by the friendly, Michelle. She told me the set up for our session. There is seating up to 6 per table. I liked that they had different size aprons. A bar is available to purchase appetizers, beer, or wine. Before I go further, let me make a disclaimer that I have type A personality. Before our event, I had read previous reviews and looked at photos and saw outlines imprinted on the canvas. I felt comfort in knowing that since I am a perfectionist and not very artistic. Of course, for our session this was not the case. Our session was free style. In addition, another challenge was mixing the colors. I would have preferred if that was pre-done. I was somewhat frustrated when I couldn't get a shade to turn out how I wanted. Also, the small plates that we used as a palette to mix the paint wasn't big enough. I had to use three. I'm not sure how everyone else was able to use only one small plate. Additionally, we had five brushes and a dipping cup to clean our brushes. We also had paper towels to wipe off excess paint at each of our station. I was constantly going to the sink to wash off my brushes because the paint was still on the brushes as I mixed new colors. What should have been fun experience was a bit stressful given that I am Type A. Throughout our session, I wanted to throw in the towel and give up, but I stuck with it. Occasionally I got help from Michelle. She made the experience better. She was helpful and outgoing. She also took orders at the bar. Our instructor (I forgot her name) who led the class had a sense of humor, was social, and knowledgeable in explaining each step. I will say I thought my painting turned out pretty nice, all things considered. Because of my OCD, I am not sure if I would return again, but that's just me. If the paint was pre-mixed, and the outline was imprinted on the canvas that would have made my experience more enjoyable.
