Splash Studio - A Painting Bar

Can not say enough good things about Splash!

Made a reservation for eight of us for a friend's birthday.  Marla, the owner, was very helpful in making the reservation.  When we arrived, our seats were all reserved together for us.  

The staff at Splash make the entire experience as easy as possible for you- they give you instructions when you check-in, your supplies are all set up for you and the directions for how much/what color paint is all hanging above the paint bar. Service was awesome- whether it was at check-in, the bar or the painting instructor.  The instructor made you feel very at ease (even though I have no painting experience).  

Definitely an upbeat environment.  Had great tunes playing the whole time (music would be turned down when the instructor was talking).  The set-up of the class really encourages it to be a social setting more than learning.

One of the best perks?  It's a no-tip bar... so when you pay with credit card, there isn't even a tip-line.  :)

Really can't wait to go back!

I have been to a painting studio before but this was our first time at Splash and I will not be back. It was so loud you couldn't hear the instructor. The music was loud and they did not turn it down enough to hear him over the INCREDIBLY loud group behind us. The instructor didn't do a very good job of teaching to the people that were not right in front of him. He never came around to see if we needed help. The work stations were so close together it felt like you were on top of the person next to you. A few times we had to wait to paint the side closest to the other person. There wasn't a lot of room for the people wandering in off the street to walk without bumping into you.  I sat next to two first time painters and they said they would not be back either. I recommended they go to the other place that I've been to. It is much easier to hear the instructor and you don't feel as cramped.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said--an awesome experience! Go!
