    My boyfriend surprised me with an amazing session led by Jamie at the brush bar. The setting is perfect for you and a friend, or a group. Jamie and Lauren had fun music on and the rose was just what we needed to get the creative juices flowing. Highly recommend this place!

    My friend and I went to a paint and sip class tonight and The Brush Bar and it was so much fun! The instructor shows you step by step how to paint and gives you tips on how to get the desired look. Everyone's looks different at the end of the night, and it's so much fun seeing what everyone comes up with. Tonight was a small class so it was more personal and we all made small talk. Definitely would take another class here and perfect for a birthday or celebration!

    Robert was SUCH a good teacher! My mom and I were pretty nervous, but it was so much easier and fun than I anticipated (and I was already really excited!) it was relaxing and engaging and the atmosphere of the studio is so inviting. I want to bring everyone I know back for more!

    I took my team here for a work event and had an amazing time! Our instructor was very thorough, but also gave us our space at times where we would just be painting away and we could ask questions as needed. They also had fun music playing in the background. You could also purchase wine or seltzers at the bar that they had before you started and during your painting time as well. It was very informative from the start to the end and I definitely recommend coming here with friends or maybe a work event.

    SO MUCH FUN! I have never done a paint and wine event. My friend signed us up on a whim. It was about 2 hours long and we painted a pineapple! The instructor was amazing -- explaining things so well and really engaging the entire room. They have a tiny bar in the corner where you can buy your wine and beer. They also have some snacks, like pretzels. The painting event was awesome. I had so much fun and really enjoyed the entire experience. I will definitely be back again with friends and family! Also side note, tip your instructor! They have a tip jar next to their area in the front. It was empty when I dropped $20 in. It was well deserved but I feel like nobody knew it was available to be done!

    My stepdaughter and I had a great time! I cannot remember the artist's name. But she was so sweet and awesome! Just like the other awesome lady working the snack/bar section. Very welcoming and friendly. I cannot wait to come back!

    Had a great time here with one of their Autumn painting events! Robert is a great teacher and Grandmaster painter.

    My friend and I loved our visit to The Brush Bar! I've been to other painting studios and The Brush Bar is by far the best. The other studio I've been to had large classes (50+ people), it was noisy, crowded, and impersonal. The Brush Bar is the complete opposite. I loved the small class size. Great location near Old Town Scottsdale, and close to great restaurants and bars for before and after the class. Inside The Brush Bar is intimate and quaint. The instructor was friendly, super helpful, and walked us through the painting step-by-step. He event went into greater detail on how to complete trickier parts of the painting, which I really appreciated. The other staff there that night were also extremely friendly! The price is more affordable than other painting studios in the area, and even includes one free drink! I highly recommend The Brush Bar for anyone looking for a fun, creative activity. It was a great experience and I will definitely be back!

    I love this place. Little did I know I was an amateur Picasso and Bob Ross. I've held a few company events here and we've had a great time. I've attended a few guided paint nights too and though I was sightly intimidated initially, the instructor was great and said to not focus on what it looks like at that moment but wait till the end. And not everyone's is going to look the same. Once I was finished it totally came together! Can't wait for the next paint night!

    First went here for a team offsite and was really impressed. I was very nervous about coming here because I have no artistic skill at all. The instructor made the class fun and enjoyable. The directions were very easy to follow and I enjoyed every minute of it. They turned me into someone that actually believes he has some artistic skills. Lookout world haha. The drink options were great as well and were fairly priced. I definitely want to come back here with my girlfriend for a date night.

    The experience is wonderful! You get such a personal lesson as the open yet quaint space allows you to fully see the demonstration and speak with your friends. We had a lovely time and intend to go back.

    Saturday Mimosa Morning painting - Lily Pads.
    Rashmi G.

    I've taken a real interest in painting for fun so I thought it'd be fun to check out The Brush Bar. The painting class I had chosen to partake in was of Lily Pads on a Saturday morning. Initially, I thought it was a bit more expensive than other places I've been to but I liked that the cost of the class included a drink ticket and some snacks (while they lasted). When I arrived, it was already getting busy at the front but I was soon checked in & given a ticket for my drink. The thing that I found a bit off-putting when I saw where I was seated was that the person sitting next to me was literally RIGHT next to me. There really wasn't much room to keep all my things (the paint plate, paint cup with brushes, & my drink cup) let alone to comfortably paint. Every single seat in this class was full so there wasn't much room for shifting around, but I'm glad that I was on the end of the row so I had at least one side open. Just a note: they do "assign" you a seat so you will not get to pick where you sit (at least my friend & I didn't). In general, I thought the class was alright. The instructions weren't always clear and the instructor was moving at a fast pace. Since I'm not good at painting, I found that a little more direction would've been beneficial, however, my painting turned out okay. I've browsed the calendar a few times & have seen some interesting options on there. They seem to repeat the paintings which is good. I'm not entirely certain if I'll be a frequent visitor here, but I'll probably be back sometime. And one last note (regarding parking since I always worry about that in Old Town): the Saturday morning class was early & the shops around the Brush Bar weren't open so I found a spot right in front. If the street parking is full, there is a parking garage within walking distance!

The drinks were made quickly and looked just as good as they tasted. Beyond the coffee, this is an amazing place to support local artists. They had handcrafted mugs, planters, pottery, ceramics, cross-stitch kits, and other gifts throughout the shop.

If you're looking for a local coffee shop in Phoenix with excellent coffee, matcha, chai, unique gifts, handmade pottery, and a cozy creative atmosphere, Pip Coffee + Clay is absolutely worth visiting. I'll definitely be back.
