| - My wife and I took her parents, her brother, and his son to PaintBar over the holiday weekend. She has done this sort of thing at other venues, but I hadn't put paint on anything but a wall in longer than I care to mention.
We all had a great time. Our youngest was 11 and oldest were in their 70's, so this really is something the whole family can enjoy together. I know, "bar" is in the name of the establishment, but it's as family friendly as any place you'll go on a Saturday late morning/early afternoon. Speaking of the bar, there's a nice selection of craft bottles along with wines and other libations. We had lunch plans after, but the pizza menu looked good and the pizza that was cooking for other guests smelled delicious.
Cory, our artist in residence (not sure of his official title but I like that one) was very helpful and made it a lot of fun. Along with our wide range of ages, our group varied widely in painting experience & location along the focused/laid back spectrum, and he had great tips for everyone.
I have to admit, I wasn't quite sure this would be my thing, but now I'm looking forward to going back. You're not going to see my work at Sotheby's any time soon, but this is a really fun activity that's highly engaging and relaxing at the same time. Channel your inner Bob Ross and come in and paint!
