I took my mother here for her birthday last night and we had a great time. I thought it would be fun but it was even more fun than I'd anticipated...I'm sure the wine helped with that! Drinks were priced well - our bottle of pinot grigio was $13 after using our drink tickets to get $5 off. Glasses of house wine are $4...sounds pretty good to me.
Everyone at the Brush Bar was super friendly (including the dog). They definitely foster a very happy atmosphere. Again, the wine may help with that. They take their time walking you through the steps to complete your painting...and while everyone's paintings look similar, they're all very different. I'm definitely not a creative person and you really don't need to be to enjoy your time here and to come home with a cool piece of artwork. I now have a "calm tree" to hang in my office!
It is a bit pricey but, like someone else said, it's not something you do all the time. Free parking and a location next to Dos Gringos is an added bonus. We'll definitely be back!
