Sipping N’ Painting

Have been here many times, and can’t stop coming! I love the staff… Hostesses are always friendly, and the instructors are helpful and fun! Neicy and Drew are my favorite people there… There are free light snacks and one drink included in the price, and they always have groupings as well. Totally worth it! Love love love this place!

So this was my second painting class (but with a different company the first time) and I absolutely LOVED it! We originally wanted to buy the groupon but found out it was for a different location and they didn’t have the painting we wanted to do. So we called this location and they ended up honoring the groupon discount! It was so great of them! My coworkers and I all went together to do this and got to sit together and had such a blast! The teacher was so much fun and walked us through every step and helped any of us that had questions. Didn’t feel rushed at all. Kept reminded us not to stress or worry and just to have fun with it! I thought it was great that our first drink was free! The other company I went to did not offer the first drink for free so that was great! HIGHLY recommend you get there early so you can pick where you want to sit and find parking. There’s a parking lot right behind the studio that’s only $ 5. Had such a great time and would love to go back!

Had a great time! Well worth the price. Most people get a rectangle canvas, but you are free to swap for a square one. You are also not required to paint what the whole class is being led through. Feel free to paint any of the other great pieces on the wall or come up with your own image. Would definitely go back again!

My better half surprised me by taking me here for a date night and had a blast.
Here are some tips for first-​timers:
_​Show up 10 – 15 minutes early.
_​Upon walking in, stand in the line to get a chip for your free drink.
_​Find a blank canvas where you’re facing the bar, otherwise, you’ll have your back to the teacher. You want your back facing the door you came in through.
_​Pile up some free snacks (available at the bar) on a napkin and get a drink.
_​RELAX. BREATHE. I really like their rule to leave your inner critic at the door. Do it. Don’t know what you’re doing? Don’t worry. Wave your brush around and just create, it’ll help relieve stress.
I will most definitely be back.

Bought a groupon for this cause I was sort of questioning how I would like it. So, bought the groupon and went solo. Had a BLAST! The canvas, paints, brushes and apron were covered. I also had a delicious mimosa (or three). One was included in price paid. The instructor was Ashley and she was great. All smiles from me! Will do again, and gladly pay full price.
PS: I haven’t touched a paint brush since high school! They made it easy and fun!

I’ve been to other sipping and painting sites but this one is great! The cost includes a whole canvas, lessons, and a free drink (along with snacks). Don’t even worry if you’re not an artist; the instructors’ step by step lessons will make you feel like Picasso. It’s great for birthday parties!

GREAT place, very friendly. I love the atmosphere and the people who work here. Thank you! Maybe two free wines lol.

I wish I didn’t have to give this review as this used to be one of my favorite places to go, but wanted to warn anyone with a group that you cannot guarantee the team at Sipping N Painting will not book over your private party. Last weekend my husband was going to surprise me with a private party that started at Sipping N Painting for my 40^th birthday that he’d scheduled long in advance. A few weeks before the actual date he was told that they accidentally booked over the top of the event and offered a time that was earlier in the day, which didn’t work for any of the party guests, instead of doing the right thing and canceling the second event that they overbooked. My husband ended up canceling this whole portion of the event as there weren’t enough people to attend and it would have made for a very long day. He was extremely disappointed (although the rest of the party turned out amazing). So buyer beware — if you go on your own, this place is great. But they don’t believe in honoring their commitments to private parties, and because of that I cannot go back.

This place was so much fun! I came here by myself but was still able to enjoy myself. The instructor was very clear with the directions and made sure every one knew what the next step was.
I love the fact that you get 1 free drink with the purchase of your ticket. This makes it a bit more relaxing for everyone. Some of us not so artistic people feel vulnerable when faced with a task like this, but I couldn’t help but feeling the opposite while here. The vibe is very welcoming and positive. Every time I look at my painting hanging on the wall, I remember the awesome memory that I gained from going here.
Can’t wait to go again!

Had an awesome time! I cant remember the instructors’ names but they were both fantastic. I am horrible with names so I cant remember theirs but he was hot and they both had great personalities. I would highly recommend this for either date night for just a friends night out!

I wish I could give this place more stars, as I generally love the premise of this– I love being artsy, and I love wine. How could one go wrong?
However, I have to say this place felt unwelcoming and too crowded for my taste. A friend and I had a reservation for a class. When she came down with an unexpected case of food poisoning, I decided to go it alone. I arrived plenty early to the class, as I was fairly warned to give myself time for parking. Once parked, I entered this tiny studio. It was hard to even walk in with so many customers (mostly women) scrambling around to get their supplies and get settled in for the class. No staff members were making themselves clearly available to greet people as they came in, and I felt super confused of where to go and what to do! Finally, I waited in line for a while at the bar and the bartender helped me figure it out. Once I finally got checked in and got a glass of wine, it was hard to find a good seat. There weren’t many spaces still available, and I ended up having to settle on a spot with my back to the teacher and a partially blocked view of her canvas. I had to crane my neck for half the class. This clearly felt like a place to come WITH a friend or whole gaggle of friends, and being there alone wasn’t so much fun.
I get Sipping N’ Painting’s emails and from time to time and admire all the beautiful options they have for their classes– I might give them another shot sometime if a good Groupon or Living Social deal comes up (fingers crossed for no more girlfriends with food poisoning this time!) Otherwise I’ll stick with some other studios that have a more welcoming vibe.

This was by far the best experience I have ever had at a wine and painting place. I went there in July for a Bachelorette party for my sister. The staff was extremely friendly! The atmosphere was superb. We did a painting that took longer than the allotted time frame, but the staff was open to staying and allowing us to do our best work. Drew was an awesome instructor! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great evening. I just wish I lived in Denver so I could come back more often! Thank you to the wonderful staff at Sipping N’ Painting who made our night spectacular!

My friend and I bought a Groupon for this place and finally set on a painting. It was the first time both of us and we had a fabulous time! The studio is just a short walk from Little Man and Linger right in Highland. It’s a very relaxed and inviting space with beautiful paintings on the wall for inspiration. We each got a free drink and some snacks before the painting commenced. Many people came here with friends and family. One group was celebrating mother’s day. The teacher was great and gave us enough time between each step so we could work on our own. There was a drawing for a free class. The coolest part was everyone added their own touch to make the painting unique. This is a fantastic concept for girls night out, get together with friends. You create art while sipping wine — what more could you ask for?

Fun time and great staff! Would defiantly bring other friends.

I took my first drinking and painting class about 6 months ago and I’m hooked! I’ve tried out many different companies/​venues and this one has become my favorite. I’ve come here half a dozen times and each time has been a great, relaxing experience. The staff is friendly, you get free snacks and your first drink is on the house. If you don’t want to paint the featured painting, they will even help you do another painting.
Also, they typically have a 24 hour cancellation policy, but are very understanding and flexible about it. Earlier this year, there was a snowstorm the day I was scheduled to paint, and we got an email from the owner the morning of the class offering a full refund if people couldn’t make it! That is true service!

My first time ever doing a paint and sipping and had a great time. Instructor made it so fun and will return again :-)

Went here the other night with a girlfriend and it was so much fun! I’ve heard of places like this but I had never taken the time to check one out.
I was super nervous going in as I’m not extremely super artistic and was very worried that this would affect the fun to be had. This was not the case at all! Our instructor was super cool and explained things step by step which allowed me to have so much more fun and took so much of the pressure off!
The vibe is super fun and it’s great for all ages. There were a couple larger groups that seemed to be having a ball! I would definitely do another girls night out here (I don’t think the hubby would really enjoy it!).
One thing I would suggest — try to sit closer to the front if you are trying to paint seriously. We sat in the back on purpose because we wanted to chat and goof around but it made it harder to hear the instructor when we did want to pay attention.
This place is definitely worth checking out! Can’t wait to go back :)

What a fun time my friend and I had. The hostess and lead painter were both exceptional. Best $ I have spent to spend fun quality time with a friend. The location was great, far enough away from the heart of downtown so parking was not an issue at all.

Wow. We had the most absolutely amazing time here, I would definitely recommend that people check this place out. First of all, everyone working there was so pleasant. I know that’s an odd descriptor but after a long day at work it is hard to get me to be energetic but the attitudes of the people who work here are so upbeat, so friendly, and so incredibly welcoming that I found myself breaking out of my work drone mode almost immediately and getting really into the project. I honestly don’t know how the woman leading the class managed to be so unwaveringly pleasant and upbeat, you could tell she was genuinely happy to be teaching. It was the perfect attitude for this environment, to get people into it and having fun and giggling. The drinks were so cheap and the experience was so positive there aren’t enough kind words I could say. We will definitely be back and if you’re deciding whether or not you want to take a class, you should.

I love sipping and painting. I am doing things to bring more fun into my life and this fits the bill perfectly! Everyone was drinking mimosas, singing and just having a great time being creative. No pressure, supportive and everything is provided. I already signed up for my next two! Thank you! :) I go by myself but this is great solo or as a group!

This was such a fun place to come to after our anniversary dinner. It was fun, the atmosphere was lively, and everyone there was so nice!!! I’ve never really painted before but the way the teacher, Tim, guided us through the process it was easy and anyone could do it! My mom loved my painting so much she wanted to frame it. Anything is possible here and it will turn out great even if you doubt yourself. Awesome experience and I loved it!

Had a great evening painting! Was nervous about my first time, but the ladies made it easy and fun; easygoing staff, positive encouragement, and cool tunes to boot.
Would definitely like to do this again.

I came here with the lovely Miss Tiffany N and her beau for an evening of both sipping and painting and I did both!
This is my second foray into the painting/​drinking class phenomenon and I think I enjoyed this place a little more, if only for the instructor’s demeanor. I also like the selection of paintings that they offer more than other places.
But that doesn’t matter, because my paintings all end up looking like unfortunate replicas of the original.
Writing is my creative outlet and I’ll stick to it thankyouverymuch.
If only I could find a painting class that didn’t require any detail work, then my paintings would be amazing abstract works of art. You know, like Mondrian or something. As it were, I ended up with janky tiny brush after janky tiny brush and I could not get the details as fine as I wanted. Either that or I’m ham handed and I paint like an effing caveman.
I enjoyed myself and had a great time with Tiff and Nick, although I wish the space was just a little bit bigger. I felt a little cramped while here.

I love all these Sipping N’ Painting places in Denver. I wonder why these places are not everywhere in the US. It’s a social and creative way to spend some time with family or friends.
On this occasion I was brought here as a part of a team building activity. This is a fancy way of saying, getting to know each other.
We were painting Poppies this evening, and anything flower related is right up my alley. I enjoyed the instruction, our instructor was witty and a lot of fun throughout. I find this type of thing more casual and I don’t really want formal coaching, I want to have a relaxed time and have the flexibility to paint how I want (I don’t want to be a copy cat after all). The instruction was timed perfectly to allow time for everyone to follow each step.
All of us enjoyed multiple drinks, a handful of munchies, and a ton of laughs as we lovingly critiqued each others work. We had an absolute blast and could have stayed all night. We all left with our original masterpieces and the loving the whole experience.
I realize now that each day they plan a different painting, so if you have your mind set on one particular painting you can plan ahead of time to pick the painting of your choice. I would love to try my hand at Starry Night someday.

I walked into Sipping N’ Painting not sure what to expect or if I had a painter lurking inside of me. Two hours, two glasses of wine, and two handfuls of snacks later I walked out with a lovely painting of two birds. That’s right, I put a bird on it as all artsy people should according to Portlandia.
Seriously though, these art classes are just as much fun as kindergarten. No, they are even more fun because there’s beer and wine! The instructor keeps things moving along at a decent pace — you have enough time to get your colors just the way you want them and let your canvas dry as you move from step to step in the painting. My bird painting took four steps (background, border, wire, birds) and I’m still kind of shocked at how easy and fun it was.
$ 40 gets you a canvas (which is pricey on its own), the painting supplies and one free drink. I definitely think the price is worth it and it’s a great activity to do alone, on a date, or with friends. I can’t wait to go back and paint my next masterpiece!
