Friends with Beer

Yes — Friends with Beer is one of our most approachable paintings. Absolute first-timers finish this one looking great. Rachelle walks you through every step, and the whole group moves together so nobody falls behind. 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 Bad Beat Brewing, 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 — Friends with Beer is one of our guys night picks. Don't let the art supplies fool you. Rachelle keeps the energy up, and you'll walk out with something worth hanging on the wall.

Rachelle is a real local artist based in LAS VEGAS — not a franchise employee or a corporate hire. Paint Nite artists complete our certification program before their first event. Across all Paint Nite events, 93% of guests say their instructor was amazing.

Bad Beat Brewing is a local venue in LAS VEGAS — 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.

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 LAS VEGAS, you're in the right place. Welcome back.

Your ticket to Friends with Beer 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 Bad Beat Brewing — you pay the venue directly for anything you eat or drink.

Bad Beat Brewing's doors open at 12:00 PM, the event starts at 12:00 PM. We suggest showing up by 11:30 AM 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.
