Our instructor, Eddie, was so kind and patient, offering help when needed while keeping the instructions clear and easy to follow. It made the whole process so enjoyable, and everyone left with a beautiful finished artwork. Sally was so warm and welcoming, it felt like we’d known her for years despite just meeting.

Oh the cocktails selections are great and well priced. I would recommend the Artbar to anyone wanting a different and fun night out.

  • 5/5 from Tarcio Saraiva, attended Jan 2024: The class was just great: to start the venue was super nice, very artistic and well organised. We were greeted by the hosts, offered cocktails and a chance to mingle with the other participants. When the class started the teacher was super organised taking us through the process of what we were going to paint, how to use the brushes, the colors and how we could let our creativity flow. It was a very enjoyable time that we did not see the time go by - in between steps the music was pumping and the energy was flowing really nicely. The hosts were really engaging and we end up with two very nice paintings. Would definitely do it again, top marks!
  • 5/5 from Joelle Casse, attended Dec 2023: The teacher is very interactive and fun. The place is so pretty. We were made to feel welcome from 7pm onwards. It waa very good night we enjoyed it. Will like to do this again and highly recommend. Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Beck Wilson, attended Sep 2023: I enjoyed the whole experience at Art Bar, the atmosphere was great, the staff and instructor were lovely and knowledgeable. I took my teenage daughter and she enjoyed the night as well. We'll be back again, thanks for a great night.
  • 5/5 from Georgia Carr, attended Sep 2023: A fantastic experience! I took my parents along and it was fair to say they were both tentative when we started. Eddie is a natural teacher and storyteller and they soon relaxed and became absorbed in the painting. We had the best after. My painting is already on display.
  • 5/5 from Jimmy Hanson, attended Sep 2023: Great fun and vibe. Our instructor made it a very entertaining experience. Quality set up
  • 5/5 from Papri Syed, attended Jul 2023: We had the best time. Great atmosphere, venue deco is amazing, can't wait to go back. We had a fabulous night.
  • 5/5 from Georgina Dawson, attended Jul 2023: Our teacher Eddie was amazing. He created such a fun, relaxed environment and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. He is a great teacher, very encouraging and obviously highly skilled artist in his own right now my friend and I had such a wonderful time and left on top of the world feeling very satisfied with our paintings. And don’t get me started about the decor. Such a beautiful eclectic, sophisticated yet playful combination. Very stylish bar and delicious cocktails. Certainly got me in the mood to be creative.
  • 5/5 from Nicholas Eglezos, attended Jul 2023: THANK YOU EDDIE We had an awesome time! Eddie is a fun, entertaining and knowledgeable artist. The venue is filled with inspiring, artistic decor, lights and a bar, which really emphasised our experience! Great value, will 100% be back!

  • 5/5 from Nicolette Scheepers, attended Jun 2023: Fantastic venue-visually stunning and gets you in the spirit for creativity as soon as you cross the threshold. Welcome is warm, cocktails are great. Teaching is fun but also supportive and suitable for any skill level. Enough time to keep up with the stages. And care is taken that every one walks out with a product they are proud of. Great night. Not my first and certainly won’t be my last! Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Jacquie Martin, attended Jun 2023: Lots of fun, great atmosphere. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for something a bit different to do for a night out.
