This was my first painting class experience outside of college classes and I had a great time! I celebrated part of my birthday here on a Saturday evening. I loved how flexible they were with adding a few last minute guests and accommodating us. We were also able to bring our own wine/beer and food/snacks. They provided the cups. It was such a no-brainer!
The instructors were very knowledgeable and kind. We were able to ask questions and paint other things. The music choice was also so fun! My friends and I loved it. Thank you! I would love to come back.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dinelle D.Norwalk, CT0212Sep 26, 2023
Had a great time!! I went with my job as a retreat. The instructor was patient and did step by step with us as a group. We all loved our paintings and enjoyed it.

On a rainy day, group of friends was wondering what to do and we came up with and idea of painting and drinking so there we go. Searched the internet and found this great spot. We had so much fun, definitely worth a try. You may discover your hidden talent.

I can't say enough how great of experience we had as a private party, best instructor ever Riley you made everyone comfortable and we had so much fun. Even with some of us being artistically challenged they all came out great! I recommend Riley and book your next private party it will be a hit. Thanks again for making my sisters birthday special.

I really enjoyed my experience at Painting Lounge in Williamsburg! The studio is very spacious, which makes it perfect for large groups. We lucked out the night we came because there were only 8 people.
The instructor Gabby was very helpful with the process, especially since this was my first time and had no clue what to expect. Perfect for date night or girls night out!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Linda A.Long Island City, NY049Aug 9, 2022
Wow. We had a great time. Invited a couple of my relatives and friends there to have a drink ( wine or beer; BYOB) and celebrate my 61 st birthday. So much laughter ; so much fun. They even had music !! I ( the birthday girl) did more sipping than painting but a lot of the other master pieces came out well. The hostess did tell me- that I could've had a private party because I had over 12 people ( I didn't know that ) and she said they also would've given me a really good deal so that's Food for thought. Several people called me the following day and thanked me for the invite!! Definitely a do again.

Such an amazing experience! Came here to celebrate my birthday and had a blast!
Chris, our instructor, was so patient. His step by step directions helped me turn my blank canvas into a work of art.
The Painting Lounge is ideal for almost any occasion: date night, birthday, or chilling with friends. Regardless of what occasion brings you here, Paint Night is sure to be a relaxing and satisfying experience.
I highly recommend coming here!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 30, 2020
Beautiful Brooklyn space, the large room in the back looks great for a celebratory group class. Our teacher was fun and encouraging. I always look forward to visiting a painting lounge and drinking wine but I completely forget how challenging the classes can be. Our teacher was very patient and came over a few times to help our group. I would recommend sitting up front because it can be hard to hear the teacher's instructions or see what they are painting from the seats by the window. They provide cups and a cork screw for your wine (BYOB). I would definitely return for date night or a girls night out.
