Such a fun experience. Perfect location in Chelsea. Wine shop located across the street for convenience. Our instructor Bernard was amazing. He was enthusiastic and down to earth. He walked around and made sure everyone was comfortable and on track. Definitely a fun activity to do. Affordable as well. ~$30/pp

I've been going to paint lounge since as early as 2016, but it's my first visit to this location. It's a cute studio (possibly not as large as some other locations). Good instructor. Fun class. Prices are always great and it's byob, so it's a plus.

Came here with a friend for our first sip and paint class and it was super fun! The instructor was super nice and walked us step by step how to paint each layer of the drawing. I really liked how it was BYOB as well, and the prices are really reasonable! It was a great experience and I'd definitely go back.

We had a really great time. Our instructor, Farrah, lead a fun room, letting us do our thing a little and be unique in our interpretations, while still teaching the style and techniques of the intended painting subject. Music was fun for us. The 3 of we're excited to hang out and do something quirky and different and had even more fun than we expected.

I came here with some friends for my first ever in person (not on Youtube) paint and sip. The place was a little confusing to find initially but such a great experience. Everyone is set up at their own easel with paint prepped and given a smock/apron to wear in order to their protect clothes. The class is BYOB (not including hard liquor)- so of course we each bring a bottle of red. Napkins, cups, bottle and wine openers are all provided.
Our instructor, Franny, did a wonderful job at leading the class in our painting. I really liked how she painted with us while an example of the finished product was up right next beside her. This made it easy to understand and follow. We all had so much fun and were happy to have signed up. I will definitely be returning!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sep 19, 2021
When NYC weather ruins plans and you want to do something fun, grab a bottle or two of wine and head over here. I used to go here all the time with an ex (a bit too much). To put things into perspective, by the time we broke up, I had 20 badly painted canvases laying in my home. It was a bit much so I took a hiatus for a while until a friend wanted to go. We went and had such a great time. Then, I brought someone I was seeing here as a "trying something new" for him and he really enjoyed it. The staff here is so nice and patient. I am sure they know that I am hammered by the end of class and adjust themselves appropriately. Last time I was here, I lost my work phone and I was freaking out at 2 am. I called them and they actually answered. Not only did they answer, but they followed up the next day to see if I actually got my phone. Honestly, you cannot ask for better people like this. Thank you so much Painting Lounge for everything! I will be bringing more friends and maybe more dates here in the long run!

I came here with a couple friends this weekend and had a blast! We booked last minute on Sunday and were pleasantly suprised that it's discounted on Sundays. They also have a bunch of deals on groupon. Our instructor was super nice and helpful. I will definitely come back here.

It was a fun painting experience! I have no artistic skills whatsoever but Carmine was super helpful and guided us well through the steps to complete tHis painting. He was giving lots of positive feedback even as we all strayed from the original, which made us each appreciate our work! Would def do it again

My girlfriend and Me loved the experience we had during our class. At the beginning I was kind of scared that I wouldn't have been able to paint the given, but the instructor's guidance smoothly helped achieve my goal. Shout out to my girlfriend because her along side with the instructor kept motivating me. Thank you Carmine (Instructor) for making this day memorable!!
