Last Friday was my first time at Paint Bar Madison and I had a FANTASTIC time! It was affordable, fun, tasty - an all around grand night out for me and five girlfriends. I would highly recommend it.
I was pleasantly surprised at the prices. I have been to paint night classes that were $40+. The canvas, paints, and staff expertise ranged in price from $9-22. Food and drink prices were reasonable as well. Pizza and a drink for $12.
Paint Bar offers freestyle - what we did - just call in to reserve a table. Or, they offer classes as well. Check their website for details. I highly recommend Shoes (yup, that is his name), a very knowledgeable and helpful staff. He was super attentive and offered paining advice that made all our projects better.
And, at the end of the evening you can take your extra paint and paint on the wall. DO check out Paint Bar!
