I had heard a lot about this place recently and was looking forward to trying it out. It is located in a downtown loft space right across from the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center with lots of parking in the front off of Sante Fe. When I arrived the owners Rick and Sue welcomed me into their beautiful paint studio and offered me a variety of drinks and snacks to choose from. I spent the first few minutes getting acquainted with the nice and friendly owners, the teacher of the class, and the other students, then it was time to put my apron on and get to painting! The studio is fairly large for lots of individual painters, as well as for bigger private parties/groups. We all got to pick a seat which was already set up with our own personal easel, canvas, brushes, and a variety of paints to get started. Apparently Brushes N Beverages offers different painting themes on different days/nights of the month. On this particular night we painted a beautiful mountain range with a sunset lit sky! I have no prior painting experience and I have to say that I have not had this much fun in a long time! The teacher was super patient and thoroughly explained which brushes to use, how to mix our colors to make our paintings a little more customizable (the guy next to me wanted to paint a "Denver Bronco colored sunset"), how to create different blending effects, textures, etc.. She even walked around to check on each of our paintings a few times to offer specific help and tips on how to make our paintings as beautiful as possible. After a very enjoyable 2 hours I found myself sitting in front of a beautiful masterpiece! haha! I am so proud of my painting and everything that I learned in just one night at Brushes N Beverages, but most of all, when I look at my painting I remember how much fun it was and what a new experience it was for me in Pueblo! I am going to highly recommend this place to everyone I know! I already want to bring all of my family and friends back here so that they can experience it too! I imagine this place would be perfect for family outings, a cool date experience, girls night out, bachelorette parties, work functions, family/high school reunions, birthday parties, baby showers..the list goes on! Basically, it would be perfect for any occasion where you want to do something different, learn something new, have a drink, relax, have fun, and be proud of yourself when you sign your beautiful painting with your name! Thank you for one of my best nights in Pueblo Brushes N Beverages! I will definitely be back!

After looking online for things to do I didn't consider this place just because the name sounded political and made me think I was going to get yelled at for driving an SUV or eating meat or something. We did end up checking out the Riverwalk, which is a separate review. Not knowing the CAV was on the Riverwalk, I was surprised to see the entrance at the end of our walk and decided to step inside. We were the only two people there and were immediately greeted by a volunteer who was more than eager to explain the meaning and history of the display. I was so humbled by the display, every photograph has it's own amazing story and the experience made me want to learn them all. The portraits are amazing and knowing each recipient chose the location for their own portrait makes them even more special. I ended up buying the book detailing the Metal of Honor recipients and will enjoy learning more about these amazing heroes as I study them. They need to change the name to something more fitting of the patriots being honored here but I would definitely make this a top priority stop when in the Pueblo area. A special thank you to the volunteers who make this facility possible, not just for your time to volunteer but also for your service and your sacrifice.
