The Artist Bar is a take on the paint and sip that puts guests right into a working artist's studio. The owner hosts parties where guests learn to paint while sipping cocktails. It is even possible to plan a private party in the studio, which is great for bachelorette parties or even bridal showers. It can accommodate between eight and 50 painters, so events can be pretty big. Of course, there are also open nights where individuals or small groups can pop in to paint.

Probably the most accessible art bar in Boston, The Urban Art Bar is a casual bar that offers lessons for famous pieces. Check the calendar to see which dates are for which paintings to decide upon the right class before attending. It is possible to host private or corporate events at The Urban Art Bar as well, which makes choosing the painting a bit easier. The space is very urban, which means not a ton of space, but it is worth getting a bit close to fit into this paint and sip.

The Paint Corner Art Bar is much like The Urban Art Bar, especially when it comes to the art. Expect a few Boston pieces and dumbed-down versions of "Starry Night." A few things do set it apart, however. There is a second location on Martha's Vineyard for Bostonians who like to vacation there. Furthermore, Paint Corner Art Bar does children's parties. Forget made-for-kids studios and bring the group to a more grown-up studio.

Paint Nite is a company that brings paint and sip to areas all around Boston. The artists come to local bars to teach classes on designated nights. Patrons can also set up their own parties at their own venues. There are multiple paint and sips a day. Moreover, finding one is as easy as going on the website and searching nearby. A lot of the classes sell out, so go online at least a few days ahead of time to get a seat at a local bar.
