There's no Paint Nite storefront. There's a local artist guiding you through a painting at a neighborhood bar near you — in 200+ cities and counting.

not a studio. not a chain.
your neighborhood.

Paint Nite is the original paint & sip — but there's no Paint Nite building. It's a community of independent local hosts and event planners bringing painting nights to the bars you already love, wherever you live.

Run by local artists

Your host is a real person from your area — not a franchise employee reading a script.

Organized by local event planners

A local event planner books the venues, lines up the artists, and builds the calendar near you — running it like their own small business.

At the bar down the street

We don't own a single building. Every night happens at a real neighborhood bar or restaurant.

A different painting every time

Local hosts pick what they paint, so the calendar near you is always fresh.

become an artist.

So don't sweat the brushwork. Your host breaks every painting into simple steps anyone can follow — between sips and laughs. Hit play and see what a Paint Nite actually looks like.

How Paint Nite works

just show up. we'll handle the rest.

Pick your painting, book your spot01

Pick your painting, book your spot

Browse what's on near you, pick a painting that looks fun, grab your seat. Everything's provided — just bring yourself (and maybe your people).

You paint (and drink)02

You paint (and drink)

Your local host walks you through it, step by step. You follow along — or don't, it's your canvas. Drinks flow. Mistakes happen. Fun is had.

Leave with something you made03

Leave with something you made

You'll walk out with a 16×20 canvas you painted yourself. Hang it. Gift it. Laugh about it. Either way — you made something real.

Questions?

we've got answers.

None at all. The paintings are designed for first-timers and your local host guides you through every step.

A local host from your area leads the room. They’re recruited and scheduled by a local event planner who runs Paint Nite events near you.

Just yourself. We provide everything — canvas, paints, brushes, apron. Check your event page for the venue’s food and drink details.

Most events run about 2 hours. Some are shorter or longer depending on the painting.

Most public events are 18+ or 21+ (bar venues). We also run family-friendly sessions and private events for any age.

You can reschedule or get credit for another event up to 24 hours before. Full details are in our refund policy.
