Team Merlot is the classiest PaintNite team in town! Don’t let that scare you...we enjoy party games, dirty jokes, a drink (or two), and fun with your brushes, but we also care about YOU having a great painting experience. If you want a FABULOUS girls’ night, date night, team building activity, stag/ette party, fundraiser or corporate event, you want Team Merlot.
Our venues are known for their great atmosphere, service, and food. Sometimes, you may wonder if you’ve arrived at a little out-of-the-way basement pub where guys named Norm will be the next to join the party, but that’s because neighbourhood pubs and lounges have a warm, welcoming vibe, and that’s what you’ll find with Team Merlot. Need a little extra help? A little extra time? A little encouragement? Well...you’ve found it! We’re all about personality and passion for art, adventure and...a little sassy attitude.
So...raise your glass to a NEW kind of night out! Paint Nite® invites you to create art over cocktails at a local restaurant or bar, guided by a professional artist and party host. Grab your friends and spend two hours drinking, laughing, and flexing your creative muscles. There’s no experience necessary and we’ll provide all the supplies, so you don’t have to worry about a thing (except having a great time!). Must be 18+. Food and drink may be purchased at the event.
The event begins promptly at the start time listed above. Please allow extra time to find parking and get settled. If you're coming with a group (yay, how fun!) make sure you arrive early to get seats together. If you're planning to eat dinner before the event, please inform the host/hostess that you're with Paint Nite® and check in with us to reserve your seats.

Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry. In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Our band of chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration. You’ll see it in menu items like our Pad Thai and Honey Sesame Chicken. But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

Questions about what to expect, what’s included, and how it all works.
Yes. Enchanted Water Lilies is designed to be achievable at any experience level. More satisfying than it looks difficult — Rachelle breaks every step down clearly. Most of our guests have never picked up a brush before, and they leave with something they're genuinely proud of. Worth knowing: Paint Nite events happen at real bars and restaurants, not studios — it's a night out that happens to involve painting.
A painting class teaches you technique. Paint Nite gives you a finished painting and a good night. Rachelle is a real local artist — not a teacher running a curriculum — and this event happens at Jack Astors MacLeod Trail, a real local spot, not a studio. Paint Nite invented this format in 2012 and has sold more than 10 million tickets. The trade-off is honest: lighting varies, it can get loud, and the person at the next easel is a stranger. That's the point. It's more of a night out than a class.
Yes — Enchanted Water Lilies is a Paint Nite favourite for girls nights in Calgary. Everyone paints their own canvas, so there's always something to laugh about at the end. If you're planning a bachelorette party or a larger group, private events of 10+ get reserved seating and a custom experience.
Rachelle is a real local artist based in Calgary — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. In Calgary, 41 out of 53 Paint Nite guests rated their instructor as amazing.
Jack Astors MacLeod Trail is a local venue in Calgary — a real local spot, not a dedicated painting studio. Paint Nite events happen at places like this by design — venues with character, regulars, and a bar. It can get lively. That's what makes it a night out rather than a class.
Yes — we have 124 upcoming events in Calgary this month. You can view them here.
Enchanted Water Lilies is a summer painting — bright, warm tones that match the season perfectly.
Yaymaker is Paint Nite. We brought both brands together under the Paint Nite name — same artists, same events, same format we invented in 2012. More than 10 million tickets have been sold across both brands combined. If you used to attend Yaymaker events in Calgary, you're in the right place. Welcome back.
Your ticket to Enchanted Water Lilies includes the canvas, all the paint you'll need, the use of brushes and an apron during the event, and step-by-step instruction from Rachelle. Drinks and food are ordered separately from Jack Astors MacLeod Trail — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.
Jack Astors MacLeod Trail's event starts at 7:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 6:30 PM to give yourself time to pick your seats, get a drink and maybe a bite before Rachelle starts the painting.
You can reschedule your ticket to any other Paint Nite event up to 24 hours before this one starts. After that, tickets are locked — no refunds or changes. If Paint Nite cancels this event for any reason, you'll receive a full automatic refund.
