Got lucky and came across this company as I was looking for something memorable for my team office party. Marcos came out early with all the supplies and disposable aprons for my group, and everyone had a blast. We did this in my home. Highly recommend - everything was perfect. read more

My sister and I came for a paint night and had lots of fun! We arrived on time, checked in at the door and were told to choose our chairs. The canvas, brush and paint were already setup waiting for the class to start. We brought our own food and beverage (yes, its byob and they are ok with it). The class started maybe 15 minutes late since there were a few people late. I didn't think it was a big deal, it actually gave us time to eat. The teacher/artist started the class going step by step, she was very nice and accommodating. She provided more paint and paper as needed. The only thing is that we were against the wall in a very tight space. Luckily it wasn't that busy otherwise if anyone wanted to leave their seat it would force everyone else to also leave their seats so one could get out. The artist had no space to come by and check on us and to give some advice/feedback like she was doing for the people sitting in the middle row. All in all we had fun and I would for sure go back. read more

So much fun! Was definitely a great and different "date night" idea. Our instructor was nice, informative, attentive and very helpful during the inspections. Our canvas was already stenciled in so it made the painting a little bit easier. Such a convenient location too! In the Publix plaza, so just in case you forgot your bottle of wine...hop right next door! Bought a groupon for this event, well worth it. My date and myself had so much fun. The instructor allowed us to bring in food from Panera, which was so nice of her. She was knowledgeable and had patience with the class, considering a few of us were newbies. Ice, cups, utensils were all provided. The music choice was a lil but of everything, oldies and top hits; music wasn't too loud either so we all were able to hear our instructor. Definitely coming back! read more

This was the perfect event to do for our big birthday celebration for 4 people in our family. Marcos was absolutely fantastic and made the event so much fun and everyone was at ease not matter what your skill level is with painting. We really like how you can do painting at home instead of loading almost 15 people into cars to go to a location. We highly recommend to anyone wanting to try something new or a fun family event to do this. Ask for Marcos, he has a great saying for adults, "I'm sexy, yes you are!" read more

The experience I had since the moment I called was outstanding. Daleana was the one who helped me and she went the extra mile trying to find solutions for me and my party. Before I called Paints n Cocktails I had called 7 other places and no one was as pleasantand helpful as Daleana was. Chris (our instructor) was excellent too. He was patient and made our class super fun. I'm delighted with the service they've provided and I'll continue to keep them in mind for future events. I even have a friend that wants to celebrate her birthday with this company. Thank you Paints n Cocktail for making my birthday celebration a memorable one! read more

Paints n Cocktails - Van Gogh meets Miami - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Miami, Florida

Guided artistry. Love it! Ok, so you take me to the Louvre and I ask where is the coffee shop. I'm not THAT bad but, that's me, lost when it comes to the meaning, interpretation, divine inspiration of paintings, sculptures and the sort. This place, now I sorta get it. This is a review post-birthday party of about 30 feisty wine glass wielding, bottle popping ladies. I appreciate that ppl from all walks of life like me enough to pull me into their awesome worlds. I get random real world opportunities like this. Otherwise I'd be at home asleep or cooking something for equally content hubby. There are two art rooms. I only saw the one we were in.....two long tables lengthed the room, set up along their lengths on each side, square wall-hangable easeled canvases. So there were about 8-10 canvases for you to sit at on either side of the tables. Thus you squeeze about 30-40 in the room. The instructor was on a stage at the end of the tables, high enough for everyone to see. It was "follow-along-step-by-step" until you create something that should resemble the displayed finished product placed next to the instructor. Our pre-selected art for this party was a "sensual pour", bottle pouring into a wine glass. Appropriate because they have hanging on a rack LOVELY wine glasses so you don't have to use plastic cups for your BYOW. Your brushes and paint are right there, your instructor tells you exactly what to do if you choose to follow his strokes, which is what I did......my mind is very technical, so that worked perfectly for me. The instructor was confident yet very entertaining and in touch with what we were doing. He'd jump off stage, check our work, squeeze more paint I'd we needed if, offer straight faced compliments. Towards the end, I looked at my brush strokes and WAH-LAH! A sensual pour painting sitting right in front of me! I actually understood maybe what a for real artist can express without painting by numbers! And they clean up the mess. YAY! The very pleasant receptionist told me to go online for "open" paint sessions. They have beautiful examples all over the walls that would be used or that you can select from. Unexpectedly inspired. read more

My best friend took me here as a birthday present surprise. I had no idea what to expect, since i literally cannot draw a stick figure and make it look decent! I've never been artistic, and i cannot even make any type of art... Or so i thought! The step by step process here is unique, hands-on, and very helpful. I was able to paint something i wasnt embarrassed of! The teacher, a young gentleman from ny/nj, was so sweet and very helpful. He was able to teach simple techniques to a paint-challenged person like myself. It's also byob here, which is neat. What's better than a cocktail or two while painting!? They also encourage you bring food/snacks. It's a little awkward trying to eat here though. They do provide plates, napkins, wine glasses and openers, as well as bottled water and ice buckets should your beverage need to be kept iced. I talk about this place all of the time, and tell everyone how great it is. I can't wait to come back for my next painting experience! read more

My girlfriends and I loved this experience! This is something I have been wanting to do for a while and could not be any more pleased with my first time. You register for whatever class you like online based on the painting offered that day. Our painting on this day was a tropical sunset sailboat. We arrived a couple of minutes before to register, choose a seat and set up our personal belongings. All of the tables were already set up with the easel, canvas, brushes, cup of water and a paint palette. On this occasion, Jimmy Buffet and Bob Marley were already playing to get us in the mood for our painting. I really liked that attention to detail. It really worked! I was instantly in the mood for tropics. It even made me rethink my wine option. I should have brought a blender for piña coladas instead! Oh well... The name is Paint n COCKTAILS, this means you BYOB! They provide the glasses. You can also bring snacks or whatever you want to eat. It's a good thing they provide aprons. Eating, drinking and painting can be tricky especially as the night goes on IYKWIM! wink wink! Our teacher started the class promptly and before we knew it, we were on our way to creating some art! It was scary to let go at first and give in to the strokes but once I got started it really started to all flow. They have a master sample canvas with what the final product is supposed to look like. The teacher also has a blank canvas he paints on along with you and takes you through all the steps. Two hours later, voilá! I am not saying I am Botticelli or anything but I was pretty proud of my "creation". The painting is then yours to take home. This is something different that I would love to attempt again. It's good to do with a group of friends but it could also be a good idea to do it alone because I found it very relaxing. Our group was a little rowdy. I felt a little bit bad for the rest of the students because of this but a good time was had by us all in between PAINTS N (lots of) COCKTAILS! read more

This is a great place to go with friends or even people you just casually know. The store-front studio is sun-streamed and the walls are lined with finished paintings. The long, narrow tables are set-up with canvases on easels, 3 brushes, and a paper plate covering another paper plate that has dollops of paint needed to complete the painting. Before our group from work went to the studio, we looked at the library of 265 paintings online and selected the one we wanted to do. Paintings range from Britto and Van Gogh inspired pieces, to silhouettes of lovers on the beach, to funky people, world architecture, and tropical settings. There are paintings that are geared for kids (or the young at heart) too. I called the studio to make sure the painting wasn't too hard and that the 2 hour session would be ample to complete the painting. The owner, Lynn, and employee, Stacie, assured me we were a go - and the studio gives an extra half hour at the end of the session so if our dining break went too long, or if we didn't get far enough in our painting, we'd have time at the end to finish the art. The studio encourages people to eat (typically during the first 15 minutes and during a short break at the mid-point of the session), drink (BYOB - there's a nearby liquor store, Publix, and Winn-Dixie liquor store), and sing along with music customized for each piece of art. The studio has wine glasses and small bottles of water too. It's a laid back atmosphere where the focus is on fun and, according to our instructor, accepting ourselves for who we are at that moment so we let our inner creative person come out and play. Perfectionists should stay home! The studio has a relationship with nearby businesses so their customers get discounts on food (Vito's Pizza and Gourmet Popcorn Delights gave us discounts and delivered their food to the studio!). The instructor wears a mic and walked us through the painting process - she also came around to help us tweak our masterpieces. We were encouraged to make our art our own and to embrace our style instead of trying to carbon copy the art. A couple of times the instructor was outpacing us and some of us got lost in the weeds for a few minutes but we recovered and she was there to usher us back on course. At the end we took group shots and really had a blast. One of the people in our group purchased paintings for sale for $5 and $10 to give as gifts/decorate her house. Rumor has it that Syl and Britt are going to have a UYE here in January - you know I'll be there! read more

Paints n cocktails offers a unique experience with an amazing customer service. I booked a couples activity in which my painting matched with my partners painting. You can take your own wine and cheese and they provide supplies to make it a very smooth and enjoyable experience. Located locally and plenty of parking space. Needa was our artist advisor who was very patient, funny, and professional. read more

Stay away! Horrible experience, negative instructor (Kristina), rushed for time. Never answers phone calls. Copied a painting from online, and instructor told us it was her own creation- original artwork. Yelled at by instructor for terminology commonly used by adults. Overall, would not recommend this location! For what you have to deal with, I would def say stick with Painting With a Twist! read more

Fantastic event. Instructor was patient and informative. They came to my house and set up before the party. Had a great time.

Fun for those into wine and or art lol. It was set up nicely and has areas, some larger and some smaller spaces if you and your guest prefer a private area. You are able to bring food and drinks of your choice and serve them during the painting class. Our instructor was very nice and down to earth. Very helpful and descriptive with the painting instructions which was great. I would recommend this place for those interested in a very fun night. I lose interest very easy so I only go if invited as a guest for a special occasion (Honest Opinion). I prefer the cocktails part rather then painting but that is me personally lol. All of the guest for my mother birthday celebration enjoyed the event. They supply you with a canvas along with paint and painting utensils. Once done you get to take your Picasso home. Prices range from $25 to $45 per person depending on the painting and occasion. read more

Fun class with mom and sisters ! We were somehow able to pull off a decent painting in the end. We did feel we could have received a little more direction towards the end.

Reliable and on time which is extremely rare to find in Miami! Lovely teachers!

These BYOB paint places have been growing in popularity. I must have seen 20+ of my friends posting pictures of their work of art and their wine bottles before I had the opportunity to try it out myself. I came in as part of a birthday event for a friend of mine. She ended up booking the entire studio for her shindig and we took up the entire front room. When I walked in, everything was all set up on the tables already (paint brushes, canvas, paper plates for the paint, water cups, and aprons). They also took it upon themselves to set up tubs of ice for chilling beer/wine, water, and wine glasses for the party. There were cubbies at the front and at the side of the room for people to put their handbags and sweaters/jackets in as well. As soon as all 30 of up arrived for the party, we got down to painting. Paint was distributed, the artist was ready to teach, and we all connected with our inner Van Gough (we painted Starry Night). The artist instructing us did an excellent job. Everyone's painting turned out really well and she encouraged us to add our own personal touches to the painting. Oh, and a big plus was the music they were bumping. It helped to really set the fun, festive mood and got everyone dancing in our seats. They have specials and their schedule posted on their website. If you're thinking about checking out this new trend of painting and drinking then I'd suggest you stop by this establishment. read more

I went here to celebrate a birthday with a good friend of mine. She reserved a private party of about 15 of us. I love the concept of snacks, wine, and getting messy with paint. Paints n Cocktails had a table set up for us to put the food on and ice buckets for the bottles of wine, as well as a bunch of wine glasses and cutlery ready to go. We all laughed when we found out the picture my friend picked to paint was one of a BUTT. I am not a creative person by any means. I can not draw or paint and any attempts usually look like a child's creation. She did a great job walking us step by step in painting. The more you drink, the less you really care how the painting turns out. BUT everyone's turned out great in the end! She was a great instructor and had patience when we got rowdy or loud. I will definitely be coming back here, maybe hosting an event here, in the near future! read more

The whole paint and drink/snack concept is terrific. I have gone to several companies but this location is close to home and they provide snacks. The class is ideal for first time painters (adults and children). Each stroke and color blend and brush size to use is explained and demonstrated by the teacher. This is a fun class for everyone!!! read more

So I hosted my birthday party here in November. Stacy made it very simple to work with, and it was a party of ten. I got to pick the design I wanted and I had the same great instructor I had the first time I was here. I brought in a cake, plates and champagne for my guests as we ate at a restaurant just prior to driving over. Since we were the only ones in studio we got the main room for use and I got to put my venga boys station on the Pandora mix =) Also as a really cute touch, the instructor had my friends sign the back of my canvas as a memento. read more

Wow, the pouring class was amazing!!! Did not know what to expect, and now I love it! The cool thing about pouring is, that there is no pressure. It just kind of happens.

This is my 3rd time attending a painting party, each time at different places. The instructor was patient, funny, and engaging. The atmosphere is always great because there are no children allowed, wine flows (it is BYOW), you bring your own snacks, there is no clean up involved, and you leave feeling like Picasso. My negatives: the place is smaller than the other places I've been to so you feel really cramped. Secondly, it's so pricey! I guess the other times I've gone to parties it's been through a Groupon, because this was $35! Other times I have paid $20 or $25. read more

Wanted to find an activity for my husbands birthday that we could do with all of our adult children. 10 of us total. All the supplies we would need to purchase were outlined on the website.

Great activity any time but especially great during this quarantine time!! Highly recommend it. read more

As a beginner to painting the instructor went a little fast. Could have used a little more time to finish each section before moving on. I spent the intermission catching up instead of allowing my painting to dry so then I was behind again when we started back up. I am very pleased with my painting though. Would definitely like to do this again read more

Celebrated my best friends birthday with a private party for 11. We all had a great time and Jessica was a great teacher. All the staff members were very informative and made everything hassle free.

Loved the fact plates, glasses, and utensils are provided. Very convenient! read more

This was a fun experience and our instructor, Frank was excellent. He was very entertaining as well as instructive. My only suggestions would be to have someone change out the rinsing cups at least once as it greatly affects the quality of the paintings and to check the brushes. My small one was overused but then again I could have asked for another! I would highly recommend this place for a party or to take a class FUN! read more

Despite the flaws.. hahaha I will definitely be returning again and recommending to everyone! read more

Friendly staff, nice plaza and although smaller than some places the kids had a great time at a bday party. Will be back.

Great experience with our instructor Kristina! Attended a bridal shower and she made it fun and was so very positive. Speaking from experience as having previously taught kindergarten art classes, it's not easy to lead a group of multiple-level artists (of any age!) and inspire them to produce equally beautiful work across the board. She was tactful and helpful and made it an enjoyable group experience. The facilities were more than accommodating, as the party included food and drinks and the other attending staff were also super helpful and courteous. I loved the experience so much that I plan to visit again and bring my friends. And I will certainly consider this venue and the instructor for any group events I may plan for the future. read more
