Lovely spot for a date, group activity or a team building event. If you don't know how to paint don't worry they give great instructions and guide you through. There's drinks and food as well. I had a great time on my double date.

Took our friend out for her Birthday and we all had a phenomenal time! I loved how engaging it was, the teacher was super nice and funny! We had some cocktails and those were pretty nice too. The whole decor in the place was TOP TIER. So many beautiful colors and designs everywhere.
10/10 would definitely recommend

This place is fun but the pricing has gone up significantly. They also do not have many promotions throughout the year. Family day paintings $47 each is very steep. Before, you could get it for $25. For more affordable options I'd recommend looking into Amazing Art Studio across the street in crown.
