Took my sister here and we had such a great time together. The instruction for painting was straightforward and the muse himself (Matt) was very upbeat, funny, and encouraging. They also have someone on the floor (Madeleine) who was very helpful and offered nice tips to add flair to your painting. They have a bar and some small food items you can drink and eat as you paint, and while they offer alcoholic drinks, they also offer non-alcoholic ones. You can do parties here for kids if that's how you want to celebrate your child's big day. The private room next to us was doing just that. And they all looked like they had a blast! You do not need to bring anything but yourself. The food, paint, brushes, and the canvas are all provided to you! read more

Muse is amazing. My husband and I often come here for date night. The atmosphere is great. The service is free. The paintings and the instructors are also fabulous. We even had one of them paint a picture of my husband and myself for one of our anniversaries. I highly recommend this for a date night, a fun night or just to spend some time with some brush therapy. read more

So I have always wanted to do a Paint and Sip and honestly overall it was alot of fun. I dont love to paint but doing this was pretty easy for the most part and overall doing it with my wife was even more fun. Then only thing is mannnn these things are very expensive haha. So maybe I will do this like once a year or once in a blue moon. Also just wanted to shoutout the Teacher teaching cause she was very nice and overall did a great job explaining everything. read more

We've been to many wine and designs and paint with a twists. I loved Muse Paintbar so much more! The options for paintings to choose from were definitely more my element. They are fun, beautiful, and colorful! The instructors speak through a Mic so everyone can hear, walk you through step by step, and give you ample amount of time to complete your painting. I also love all the options for drinks and snacks. We enjoyed high noons and the mediterranean platter. read more

Simply an amazing spot for a date night out! Fun and laughter. Great atmosphere, music and hospitality.

I like the idea and setup of this. You go in and paint with an instructor. Something was a bit off when we did it, either we weren't getting the instructions or we weren't following them, but the paintings weren't great. When we have done this in the past they were a lot more consistent. I liked the Louden location. I might try the Fairfax one. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place. My friend and I went her last week October 23rd Wednesday. The instructor Sammie was sweet and friendly attentive to everyone and gave several painting tips and detailed instruction throughout the evening. All was very organized. She received us with a friendly smile upon entering asked for the name of the reserving party and walked us to our station. She explained how it all worked and detailed the lay of the land. We ordered a few beverages and appetizers : pizza and chicken bites both were delish. There were 8 people total that night. Music was played while we painted and overall was an epic evening. I highly recommend this place. read more

My daughter and I had a great time at the Woodbridge Muse paintbar! We love the Lumify in the class, which helped us outline our Grinch characters and made painting relaxing and fun! The drinks and popcorn were great, and our instructor, Taylor, was helpful and explained and demonstrated painting techniques well, making it easy to follow along! We will definitely be returning and look forward to painting more at this location! Thank you. read more

We came to Muse Paintbar in Woodbridge expecting a fun night of painting for a friend's birthday, but we left with full hearts, sore cheeks from laughing, and a memory we'll be talking about for a long time. Amanda, our artist, was everything we didn't know we needed, patient, encouraging, hilarious, and so full of joy. She made everyone feel comfortable, no matter their skill level, and brought so much life to the room. Her energy was magnetic, and her kindness radiated from the moment she said hello. And the manager, Taylor? Just as incredible. Welcoming, fun, and genuinely present. The kind of person who makes you feel like you're part of something special the moment you walk through the door. We came in for a simple service, but we walked away with so much more; peace, laughter, and connection. If you're looking for something healing, freeing, or just plain fun, this is the place. Thank you for the magic, Muse. We'll be back. read more

We came here for our anniversary and had such a great time! The staff was super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience really fun. We've been to a few other Muse locations, but this one in Woodbridge is definitely our new favorite. Highly recommend for a date night or celebration. read more

Justin overall great place to go! Tons of fun. Excellent music and great direction. The photo selection to paint was great and even though mine was an awesome it was a lot of fun. read more

I came here with my parents and sister for my Mother's Birthday and I will say my parents had an amazing time, as did my sister and I. It is a perfect event for a family night out or girls night out if you like guided painting sessions or have never done it before. Maybe it's not for a really experienced painter, however. The guide was energetic and helpful. She gave helpful tips along the way and articulated the steps clearly. All of our paintings came out nicely and we are novices. Parking: there is street parking in front and lot parking in the back; it is all free. Food and drinks: I would recommend eating before or after as I thought the food and drinks were pricey and nothing special. My mom and sister did order drinks though but they were definitely overpriced and came in plastic non-stemmed wine cups that you could get from target/Walmart/dollar store. The food seemed like typical frozen eats. They provide everything you need so just come happy and ready to paint! Wear some clothes you don't mind getting dirty just in case paint gets on it. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a valentine's date night to this location and I was so excited to attend! I have been to paint and sips before but it was his first time. When we arrived, we were met with a large crowd, which I understood because of the holiday. However, I will say, the staff was not adequately prepared for such a large turn out...The hostess was scattered trying to get everyone check in and seated. One of the waitresses was clearly overwhelmed and had a terrible attitude with other visitors at my table, and it made me very uncomfortable. The kitchen ran out of certain items on the menu, so we didn't order any food or drinks. I will say the artist up front was great! She was patient with the crowd, talked slowly, and kept us laughing and engaged. Overall it was just an OK visit. I would visit again but definitely on a slower night! read more

Muse Paintbar - MUSE PAINTING. - Paint & Sip Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

I went in September of 2020. Made a reservation in advance and walked in and chose the seating. 6 ft distancing was unavailable due to the lack of space of the bar which was my only concern when eating and drinking since it was a packed painting session. The painting session was a little fast paced but understandable due to the allotted time limit we had for that session. The instructor was enthusiastic and explained how to paint very well. Muse also allows people to be more creative and add extra eccentric colors into your painting if you decide to do so. I will say that it is worth the social experience however you can always buy a canvas and use paper plates to squirt some paint and start painting from home as well. And buy a disposable plastic apron at dollar tree. Also the reusable aprons are a bit on the pricey side but if you're a regular I think they could be worth it. I would recommend the mozzarella sticks because they are worth it and the wine is cheap! Overall good experience. read more

Muse Paintbar - Paint & Sip Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Booked on a whim, the same day, just a few hours prior! Book online to save 15% on your first booking!! Also, check online to see which paintings will be featured that night. I was definitely satisfied with my experience. They made me feel like Picasso! Both the lead instructor and assistant were lively and fun to take the class with. The bar is open all night with reasonable prices. The drinks are fine, but a word of advice...EAT before you come lol The food is not that great...at all. But what do you expect! It's paint and sip! Not paint and eat lol read more

Great time was really fun and engaging. It was our first time she in a date but artist was really patient

The boyfriend wanted to surprise me with an early Valentine's Day present. He lead me to Muse and I shook my head with so much disappointment because... I too booked a painting session on actual Valentine's Day. I guess great minds just think alike LOL. Let's talk food: I had no expectations. I kind of accepted that their food would suck and I was purely here to release my inner artist. Shockingly, the food was amazing! Everything we had there was seasoned perfectly, and holy cow don't get me started on the breading on the chicken and mozzarella sticks... thin, crispy, and cooked to a perfect shade of golden brown. The experience: I had so much fun learning how to paint. Honestly, I don't know how our instructor made it look so effortless. She was so sweet and helpful. I loved that she was patient and let us take our time painting. I will absolutely come back with more friends and family! Well, my boyfriend and I have a bet on who could sell the paintings for more on ebay. *inserts smug face and points to myself* Just go to Muse, no ragrets. read more

What a fun event to try with my family around the holidays. I have been to a Muse Paintbar in the Hampton Roads area and had a wonderful experience. This experience was no different. If you aren't too familiar with Muse, then let me drop a bit of knowledge on ya! You pretty much pay to paint, eat, and drink. I am totally down for it & you will be too. There's a set price per painting that includes the canvas, paint, and your masterpiece once completed. You do have to pay extra for food and drinks though. The cost to paint ranges anywhere from $30-$40. It really depends on the painting itself and the day of the week you go. They do offer "a free drink" if you sign up for specific paintings! Take advantage of this. You start out by placing your coats, sweaters, etc on the back wall. Next you grab an apron to protect your clothes. I would highly suggest wearing something that you don't mind getting paint on. Once it's on there, it will NOT come off. Next you go find your place and wait for the instructor to begin. Once you start painting, everything is done in steps. At first, it may appear that your masterpiece looks like a big blob but it will look like the finished product as the session goes on! The instructor usually takes several breaks and one staff member is walking around to assist painters as he or she moves along. All in all, it takes about 2 hours to finish your painting. After your masterpiece is to your perfection, you get to take it home! I have to admit that my collection has grown over the years. It's a great way to spend time with family/friends and to do something different. Another plus is that they do offer paintings for special events. If you are thinking of hosting a work party, baby shower, bridal shower, just about any kind of party then they have the space for it. One section of the building is completely blocked off to accommodate large groups. I will definitely be returning. The 4 star review vs a 5 has to do with the instructor. I felt during my session that she wasn't as thrilled to be teaching. At times, it felt rushed to get to the next step. Other than that, my family and I had a great time. Check them out if you are in the area. read more

Went for my birthday with a friend. The beginning of the painting started out great. The painting was fun, but the instructor was so rude. The instructor walked around and spoke bad about her coworker. The instructor came to my table and looked at our paintings and was like wow looks like u guys gave up. I mean my friend and I aren't artist, I didn't think it was that bad. I don't see myself returning to this location, I will drive else where. read more

Me and hubby celebrated our Valentine's day here. We did the couples paint night and had the best time! We went to the Mosaic location multiple times and its always been great! Neither me or hubby are artsy ppl yet the instructors are very helpful and clear. Our instructor Kira was very sweet and patiently walked us step by step thru the painting. They also have the staff walking around to help us. They also beer and wine at reasonable price and finger foods. Keep up the good work! read more

Muse Paintbar - Paint divas. - Paint & Sip Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

We reserved a private party for over 15 people for a work event. Everything was great until we were told to order from a limited menu.. basically chip and dip. The location had no employees to help our Artíst with drinks or food. The paint and sip is false advertisement in this location. Poor management for such a trendy place. read more

Love this place. Went here with my coworkers. Had lots of fun and our paint instructor was super fun. Only wish the music was a little louder. Could barely hear the music. Felt a little rush while painting. Barely had time to relax. But it was fun and drinks and food was good. Love the atmosphere. read more

Muse Paintbar - Paint & Sip Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Visited for a private party paint event. The artist, Samantha was patient with the group which was mostly filled with drunks lol. She took the time to answer questions and help adjust some of our paintings. Overall, great experience. The only con is the pricing for drinks - for a small cup (maybe 8oz) of wine was $7-$10 and bottle $36 (rolls eyes) read more

The entire experience itself is quite unique! It was a lot of fun especially with family and friends. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food choices arent the best but it was the least of our concerns since it wasnt what we went there for. Absolutely a must-try! read more

I always enjoy my visit here! One of the bartenders there even remembers my drink! I have so many paintings from doing other paint and sip activities that I am so glad that Muse finally opened up close to home! I used Groupon a lot in the beginning, but that offer expired. I wish they offered some type of loyalty or reward program for frequent painters. Also, it would be kind of cool if they offered a painting happy hour with paint, drink and food specials for 21+ adults. Other than that, I love this place! read more

My daughter wanted to have a birthday party here with 9 friends. She contacted Muse about their policy requiring a $50 dollar food purchase with the party because she has life-threatening food allergies so she would not be eating the food. She was told she would have to purchase the food anyway. I wanted to contact the business because I believe under the disabilities act they weren't allowed to do this. She declined and said she was find another place. I am upset because Muse-Woodbridge handled this poorly. Instead of contacting her they coldly told her she had to purchase the food. So they think it is okay for someone to patronize their business and watch her guest eat food she can not at her own birthday "celebration"? This is a poor way to run a business, cold, insensitive and rude. I will not support this business and will be sure to tell my allergy group how my daughter was treated. Shame on you guys! read more

Loved muse paint bar. Got a Groupon and easy to use. I took my friend who has never painted to a 2 hour masterclass just to see him fail... and I have to admit he did pretty good... this says more about our instructor than his skill set lol we got food as almost a dinner vibe and had loads of fun. We signed up for the Eiffel tour painting and had loads of fun. They have the vibe chill and cool and not awkward sitting with strangers super close... I would def recommend read more

Went here for a friend's birthday party. First of all they charged me 27.00 for a mini coke and a tiny cup of wine. The instructor was all over the place, and at the end of the night he knocked paint off the table that splattered all over my shoes as well as my brother in laws shoes, and then just stood there and said nothing. Definitely not worth 45.00 the picture was basic and he really offered no help. He was standing in front of the painting the whole time and his instructuons were more confusing than anything. The paint was sticky like gel and wouldn't blend, and he said " yeah I don't know what's wrong with the paint tonight". Definitely will not be returning. The one in Springfield mall is 100x times better read more

As an organizer for a local mom's group we are always looking for a fun mom's night out other than just a usual dinner. I set this up and their online reservation made it so easy to set it up where we were all able to sit together. We had a group of 8 mom's and everyone had a blast and several days later are still talking about it. The instructor was great about walking us through each step and made things that would have intimidated me into an easy task. The appetizers and drink options were great too! We'll definitely be scheduling more mom's nights here. read more

First time coming to a paint event and it was a blast! Alisha was so kind, funny, and very helpful. Bring cash to tip the teacher, and get ready for a great time. I will definitely be back! read more

Had a wonderful time here! The staff is very friendly and engaging, the food is good and the wine is delicious!

This was a first paint and sip experience. The drinks and the food were a complete afterthought. Lost people's food and drink orders in the mix of everything. The place was way too crowded for the amount of staff working (2 employees vs 50 patrons). Didn't even have time to drink wine or eat our food because the painting was too rushed/stressful. Overall, just need more on staff, and either a bigger place or not allow more than maybe 30 patrons at once. read more

Was looking forward to my upcoming reservation. I booked it online and then saw the Groupon. Most places will honor the Groupon, but not muse. Save your money and go on Groupon first. Not sure if we'll be going again after our reservation. read more

I wanted to do a private birthday party event! Jessica is the event regional coordinator for the dmv area (not for sure if that's her correct title) and was amazing and so helpful from the start! She answered all my questions in a timely manner and worked with all of my accommodations. My event was planned for April 19th at 730 PM. I was greeted by a young man (did not catch his name) and a young lady name Alicia, who happened to be our instructor for the night. Alicia was also assisted by another young lady by the name of Britt. Both ladies were very patience, were very lively and interacted with us! Even when a few of us messed up on our paintings, they came around to help and fixed our portrait to look back "normal"! Even when the drinks starting sinking in into everyone's system, Alicia and Britt were still very fun and kept everyone in a good Vibe, especially with the music! The ONLY issue that I will say is that the food did take forever. I ordered a sampler appetizer maybe about ten min after I got there but not even exaggerating, it took almost 30-35 minutes and I had to ask twice about my food. Other than the food, everything else was amazing!!! read more

I've had better experiences at other locations. The instructor moved too fast, seemed irritated with requests to repeat instructions and was not very helpful. I visited this location with my 70 year old mother and aunt and the poor customer service made for a subpar first time experience for them. read more
