What a great evening! First off I found a Groupon (with 20% promo code) and it was super cheap. Rachel was the staff member for our fall portrait. She was pleasant and personable. She made sure that everyone was there prior to starting (that wanted to be) but still pretty much started and finished on time. Rachel took the time to describe and demonstrate each step of the painting - offering help to those that wanted it. There was plenty of time for each step and I never felt rushed. They take pictures of the event and place on their facebook page the night of. You can easily schedule the event online. You get there a little early so that you can grab a drink/snack at the location you choose. Wear older clothes as the paint can stain. The crowd was 90% women but there were 2 guys there and 1 being my husband (great sport he is) who loved that we were in a pub that had sports on TV. Bring cash to tip if you chose. I would recommend Paint Nite for a fun ladies night out or date night. FYI its okay if you are not artistic at all - because I am not. read more

Yaymaker - This is what I was aiming for - Paint & Sip Near Me

See all

Paint Nite was such a positive experience for me, I was nervous at first for many reasons! It was a date, and my painting ability. Haha the artist was so very positive to all individuals regardless of their ability. I sensed the more I drank the better I painted! Haha read more

So much fun! Great atmosphere. The artists are fantastic. I've been to several events and as long as you have an open mind, know how to have fun, and are willing to step out of your comfort zone, you're sure to have a blast. read more

What a fun night! I have always thought that I had no artistic ability, so what a surprise that I was able to paint a picture, thanks to the great instruction of Rachel Lindkamp, that I was proud of! I would recommend this experience for anyone- even if you don't consider yourself much of an artist- you will surprise yourself and have a fabulous time! read more

Disclaimer: I have attended many Paint Nite events that were WONDERFUL! However, what prompted me to write this review was a very poor experience. I attended an event on 7/31 at Nola's with my mom. The entire evening was a mess from the start, when there weren't enough spaces for everyone. We awkwardly wandered around and even after asking the host for assistance multiple times, nothing happened. Eventually she figured out that more seats were needed and made them. However this meant we were sitting at a VERY DARK bar in a different section, far away from the demonstration where we could not see anything. As well, our materials were makeshift items from the bar: cups with paint in them and a takeout container to mix our paints. It was truly absurd. And then we learned the nonsense had just begun as our host began shouting, cursing, and being rather offensive (to put it mildly). I know she was young and struggling but the whole thing was just not okay. She gave no instructions (ie she never told us to do certain parts of the painting and completely skipped over them) and would make comments such as "draw a tree" rather than giving any guidance whatsoever. She was incredibly rude throughout the evening and it was absolutely not relaxing or fun because of her. We eventually just walked out. Unfortunately I will not be attending one of these again, despite my previous good experiences, because we wasted, what $90? On bad, unfinished paintings and a very unpleasant evening. Such a bummer. read more

I've worked at PaintNite for the past year and I can honestly say that it has been the best time of my life. Every night brings new people and new adventures. I'm so glad to meet all the wonderful people who come in thinking that all they can do is draw stick figures and end the night with a beautiful masterpiece that they made themselves. read more

Attended Paint Nite at Nola's BBQ on 7/31. Apparently, the original host was not able to attend, so an 18 year old took her place. We started at least 20 minutes late. She had no idea what she was doing and was definitely acting like an 18 year old. She gave very little direction - isn't that what we're paying for? When she said 'highlight the mountains on the right' and I corrected her by saying 'do you mean the left?' and she said 'leave me alone.' The lighting was not suitable for painting, as you can tell from the pictures that were taken (on their FB page) that night. We ran late (of course) and there was a band that was setting up. They tried moving her stuff and she threatened to cut of his arm. She called her assistant her bitch and the assistant left at some point. I sent this same info via their survey and an email via their website and have only received an apology. UPDATE: I received 2 coupon codes for free paint nites. read more
