Event Review: Paint N Pour It Up

When it comes to Paint N Pour, it is one of the funnest and “purse-friendly” events currently in the city. Let’s be honest. For most of us, our purse strings are hurting a little more than usual. New York has always been an expensive city, but with the price of everything going up, it is hard not feel like, at home, is the only location you can afford. Yet, we all need experiences because life is a giant one. Paint N Pour, with locations in LES and Harlem, thrives as a 2 hour and 30 minute time of unlimited drinks, painting lesson, and cheap snacks that make you feel luxurious.
While I acknowledge I LOVE to GO OUT, I am a native New Yorker that also sees how pricey my city consistently gets. Yet, people need to LIVE, but, to do that, you have to find worthy experiences. An unlimited brunch is running up near 45 dollars, and you really go for the drinks and conversation over the Eggs Benedict. At night, Paint N Pour feels like Brunch with the good parts: drinks, friends, and the weird things you invent as the liquor hit. Going with my own bestie, it was hard not to LAUGH at my inability to paint according to the lesson and “rules.” Yet, it felt like a very “me” thing.” I can dance like hell, but following choreography requires Heaven’s intervention. Luckily, a few people just went and painted what they wanted. After all, we were getting as many drinks as we wanted, and the truffle fries and sliders I ordered were AMAZING! Another recommend the Hennessy Wings and the chicken and waffles!
In terms of food and drink, I was oddly surprised how delicious it was. I guess I thought “unlimited” meant relying on “drunk foodie” behavior for people to presume everything tastes better after bourbon. Yet, like my prior recommendations, it was phenomenally tasty. The staff was SUPER FRIENDLY and fun. Nobody got schwasted, and the venue/ event seems to attract light-hearted people. Everyone was kind and laughing at each other’s masterpiece, of which, personally,I think I could be the next Basquiat. Both of us are Puerto Rican geniuses with social anxiety. Speaking of, his drink, The Basquiat Iced Tea, was a close second to being my fave: tasting like a fancy, Long Island. Number one was the Picasso Punch because it tasted like a fruit basket in my mouth. Still, they have specials every week.
All in all, Pour & Paint was SO WORTH IT. For 55 dollars, I had an absolute blast, and I did the 10:30 one, which makes you either feel pumped up to go out after or just tired and full enough to say you had a great night and it is time to call it. I like that feeling; whether or not I partied more or went to bed, I lived it up. In New York, it can feel hard to feel full because this city build itself on the wanting more. Yet, Paint & Pour was more than enough. Click Here To Buy Tickets.
