“Everyone who walks out of here has something that they’ve created,” he notes. Owner of a Pinot’s Palette franchise in Tuckahoe, Pat Cipollone believes the draw of paint bars lies in the feeling of achievement they provide customers who may be unaware of their own artistic talents. “I have always liked to draw, and they say that anybody can do it-and they give step-by-step instructions-so I thought I would give it a try. Marylee Enright, a student at Muse, agrees that the paint bar is undoubtedly enjoyable. It’s either fun and entertaining or therapeutic-or a combination of all those things.”
You get to create your masterpiece while hanging out with friends and family. “You come for two and a half hours, and you aren’t thinking about work troubles or anything like that. “It is an opportunity to get away from the daily grind,” says Stan Finch, president and co-founder of Muse Paintbar. Meanwhile, Pinot’s just opened its very first Westchester outpost in Tuckahoe last December, with two more slated to open soon. In June, Muse opened a location in White Plains and another at Ridge Hill in Yonkers six months later. Two notable paint-bar chains, Muse Paintbar and Pinot’s Palette, have both expanded into Westchester in just the past year. While the concept of a paint bar might seem a bit strange, the fun atmosphere coupled with clear directions from a teacher who guides students in the creation of eye-popping artwork quickly feels natural-especially after a few glasses of Merlot. Paint bars let you enjoy many of the same potent potables that are standard fare at traditional saloons as you brush to the music with friends and loved ones-and they’re popping up around Westchester like hayricks in a Monet. Now you can wake up after a night on the town with more than just a headache and an empty wallet.
