If you are trying to stay on budget, I definitely recommend going on a day when they offer discounted studio fees. We went on a Monday and only paid $2 for the studio fee, which was a great deal. I am not the most artistic person, but I had so much fun. It was the perfect way to celebrate and do something a little different. I would absolutely go again and tap into my very limited artistic ability lol. If you are thinking about going, I recommend making a reservation ahead of time.

Wine & Design Raleigh has a new location in North Raleigh at the Celebration Station Shopping…read moreCenter. The new space is very colorful and welcoming. The shopping center has plenty of free parking too so that is always a good thing! This studio has chairs rather than stools that have been the seating at the other Wine and Design studios I have gone. The back support was nice and I like having the chairs. I went for an open studio and didn't take an official class so didn't see the new technology in use here but the tv screen makes me think that will show what the artist is doing on the canvas. Another difference here is that they sell sodas and waters if you'd like them and didn't bring your own. There was an area to put any food you brought too. If you were having a party, the counter would work for putting the gifts too. If you are looking for somewhere to explore your creative side, check out the variety of painting and craft classes offered at Wine & Design.

I'm so glad I found this place because I was stressing about my kids dying of boredom waiting in the station. It's directly upstairs, and we had a lovely time. Our instructor was great, especially with non-artitsts such as us. She took her time, was very detailed in her instruction, came around to give everyone help if they needed it. She said usually she had help but that night was on her own, but was still able to complete the painting and attend to anyone who needed assistance. It was the perfect way to kill a couple of hours before our train. Unfortunately they don't sell wine there, but you're more than welcome to bring your own, which I did; of course.

I recently ordered a door hanger DIY kit on 8/15. In an attempt to check on the status of my kit, I…read morewas told that it would be arriving 9/2 or 9/3 due to shipping notifications that this store received. On 9/4 when I tried to contact the store to schedule a pick up, I received the run around about when my kit would be delivered to me. I advised that I was willing to pick up to which they opted to ignore. This morning (9/5), I initiated contact again to attempt to schedule a pick up and was told that my kit wouldn't be arriving until 9/9 and was met with a bit of an attitude. The person I spoke with (assuming it's Amanda) is unprofessional and could use some customer service and communication training. I've frequented plenty of wine and design's throughout the triangle but this location will never get a penny of my money.

They were both great with the kids. They helped them get set up on the video games, kept track of what kids were allowed to play what level of games, i.e., E, 10+, T, M, etc. They have a wide variety of games like Kinect Adventures, Kinect sports, Skate games, sports games and shooting games. The chairs that you game in are SUPER comfortable. The place is very clean, nice bathrooms, and good variety of snacks for purchase. I'd say that kids 8+ would have a good time here and I would do parent supervision for the younger crowd probably 8-12. The place is open every day, on Saturday they open at noon and stay open until 4am. Ladies night is Thursday and ladies play free from 6pm until close. I am sure in the evenings it is more of a young adult crowd and probably not kid friendly at all, but the young adult is really their target crowd probably anyway. BUT during the day, it was great for my kid and they really helped make him have a super birthday party. Highly recommend if your kid is into video games. If you are an older teen or young adult, I'd definitely recommend this place as it has tons of copies of most of the popular multi-player games. Open late.

One of my favorite things about this theater is that it's more than just somewhere to watch a movie. You can order food and drinks right from your seat, but I also love all the nostalgia throughout the theater. Between the arcade games, old movies, music and little throwback details, there's always something to look at or talk about. They also have a sit-in area where you can grab something to eat, hang out and actually connect with other people before or after your movie. It gives the whole place more of a social atmosphere instead of everyone just watching a movie and immediately leaving. Such a fun experience, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 was the perfect movie for it. Alamo continues to be one of my favorite theaters!

We'd heard stuff about Alamo Draft House and always wanted to try it, and finally took the time to…read moredo so. We hit it up for two movies. Mandolorian and Grogu, then Toy Story 5. We went for the full experience, food, etc. Place is a bit out of the way for us, and in an odd location for such a nice experience. They have movie ambiance everywhere, even VCR Movie rental. The reason for three stars has nothing to do with the film experience, that's top notch. The problem is, the cost to quality ratio for the food just doesn't work. I unfortunately for my wallet have a big family, and we brought six people first time and five the next time. $400 night. Also between the two showings pizzas disappeared which was .. odd. They weren't amazing but they were better than 75% of the pizzas made, but again the price points is the challenge. Tack on the 18% delivery charge, and it's bank breaking. I get we gotta pay people but at that price, tacking on 18%, and at that 'meh' quality holy cow man. If we were talking fresh hand made stuff great, but between ordering, grill time, time for delivery, just not worth the $200 in food (or more) and we didn't really get anything outrageous like alcohol or tons of snacks, we're talking drink + popcorn + meal. I want these kind of experiences, but the cost makes this not sustainable for us. food and tickets for six people, second time I trimmed it back as I set expectations ahead of time but still was a multiple-hundred dollar afternoon. When all the TV/Movie press is 'why no one going to theaters' it's bills like this is why, even as a couple we could easily see $70-100 night. Something is broke, not sure it's Alamo's fault either this is a symptom of a larger problem. Feels like something 'in the middle' is tacking things into the pricing that breaks it all, bunch of middle men stealing $ without adding value.
