The owner is an extremely nice guy. He is extremely helpful and will help with anything. From the bottom of my heart, I truly appreciate what he has done for me. We need more nice people in the world like him. Ive been to The Color Cocktail Factory last year and I had amazing and memorable experience ever. Will be purchasing something again really soon. Thank you again for everything.
Wonderful! The girls and I really enjoyed ourselves. We were able to take our time and Yaya was very helpful. Definitely would go again!
The class was awesome however they are impossible to get a hold of. I’ve been trying to pick up my artwork for months. Cannot seem to get someone to pick up the phone or answer an email.
Its a huge place. Every nook and corner of this place give a feel of art and craft. They have so many activities to offer ranging from painting, adult toy making, terrarium, glass painting, pottery painting etc. i got pretty good deal from groupon. The process of registration was quite straightforward. Our painting teacher was awesome and even though i am a beginner, my painting came out very nice. They guide you very well throughout. If you are stuck they will help you. But don’t expect they will make anything for you. Its your masterpiece and they want you to be whole sole owner of it. Its a BYOB, so just get your own drink and unravel the Picasso in you
Great experience. I have been to several classes that are offered here and I must admit that Im always satisfied. The instructors are always excellent. They are creative and are well equipped to help every level of artist complete a masterpiece. I wasnt sure I could complete a painting until I went to Color Cocktail Factory and was strongly encouraged by the instructor to be creative and enjoy. This simple direction turned into nice artwork and a night out to remember. The environment is great. Its comfortable, allowing everyone freedom to have a wonderful experience. I will for sure return to enjoy another class.
Well worth the pay. Use Groupon like I did. Me and my date did the wine class. I had an amazing time with her.
If youre looking for a date night, girls night or even a night out by yourself, this is the place to go. The atmosphere is inviting and very friendly. You do not have to worry if youre not an experienced painter, after you leave you will feel like you are. From the first paint and sip class I was hooked. Whenever I want to paint and have some fun I always think of the Color Cocktail Factory.
I love this business! I have taken quite a few of the paint and sip classes and it is always a good time. The instructors are always helpful and always are willing to take a picture of us with our artwork. I have only attended the paint and sip classes and I am looking forward to trying out some of the other projects they offer. I have also taken my daughter to the family paint class and she had a great time and are scheduling more of these sessions for future projects.
What a great place!! There are so many activities to choose from and my instructor was so helpful! I planned my sisters post wedding party for a wine and painting class and it was the best! We had such a fun time and it was surprisingly relaxing too! Looking forward to many more!!
The instructors were helpful, approachable and knowledgable. They made candle-making seem simple. The facility is very tidy (including the ladies restroom). The atmosphere is casual, laid-back, diverse with pretty good tunes! This was my second class here and I came alone this time but it certainly didnt seem like it. Highly recommended!
I had a great time doing one of the paintings! The painting looked difficult to do but the instructor laid it out step by step and made it really easy to follow along and gives you some creative liberty to make the painting your own if you want to. Its a great idea for a get together with friends and the paintings turned out great!
This was a great experience my husband and I made Bonsai trees and I enjoyed it so much I want to start making them for other people. The instructor was great and very knowledgeable. color factory is the best!!
What a fun time! We were looking for a last minute date night and stumbled upon Color Cocktail Factory on Groupon. We came in and chose a piece of pottery to paint and had a blast! While we were working on our pottery, there were several other classes going on at the same time that we also wanted to try. We will definitely back to try more types of classes!
I took my friend to the Make your own succulent class for a Christmas present and we had a fab time. The space is homey and the event was BYOB. Street parking is easy and the location is convenient. The instructors gave us enough direction and we learned essential tips to care for our plant. They give you plenty of materials to make your perfect planter. There is a good balance between directive and free time to chill with your friends and chat....definitely a unique way to spend time with others. I would go again to try their other classes.
Cool spot for dates. Yaya, thank you!
Came here for a terrarium workshop class. Beautiful space, very unique.. only con is that it was a little hard to find from lack of signage but the instructor was wonderful. She was very informative about terrariums.. I learned a lot.. I had a great time. I would encourage anyone to go & tap into your creative side & also have a relaxing day.. I hope you go & enjoy
I love this place. Well actually this is a new location. But Ya Ya, the owner is fantastic. Prices are unbeatable. Space is great and safe. We have so much fun painting and he or hid staff are all friendly and so helpful. Ive been painting with them since 2016 and Im still going back. They will start cooking classes soon too!!
This is hands down my favorite place to get creative. We always receive compliments on my pieces when we take them home. All because of the awesome instructors they have. Great place for date night or just hanging out with friends. I will definitely return!
We made these super fun terrariums for a bachelorette party. This place was great and there were so many supplies so you could really put your own spin on your art work. They did a good job of explaining and giving enough time in between steps to keep up with the instructor. They had other classes going on at the same time, but nothing was distracting. They have a lot to offer if you are in the creative mood!
Cool place to meet with friends, have a little drink and get crafty. Its BYOB so come prepared but they supply everything else youll need! I took a terrarium class and was pleasantly surprised to learn about the plants as well as pot them. Walking through the classroom you get to see many other projects that others have been working on and it will inspire you to come back
This was my first time doing a terrarium class and it was so much fun! I went w/ a group of friends and it was quite a few other people there and it was still a ton of space and materials to work with...It’s BYOB! So that’s always a great start to any night out lol, but seriously the instructor was really nice and helpful. I don’t remember the name, but it was also really great bar/restaurant in the area we went to afterwards that’ll be great spot before or after. Definitely look forward to going back for the paint class
My friends and I did the adult class to celebrate my birthday. We all enjoyed the class. The instructor was friendly and helpful to each of us. I would definitely come again. Parking and location was easy to find. Highly recommend!!! A must do!!!
I took my ladies to this place to make a terrarium, we had so much fun and loved the place. There are so many things that you can do: paint your own pet, painting landscapes, terrarium, color your cup, build any kind of souvenir with your own hands. Super place to connect with your friends and have something made by yourself! Easy to book and good price!Highly recommend it!
Awesome place to go do this with your friends, partner, loved one or if you just want to hang out for a bit, have a drink and enjoy doing something fun.
Second time coming here. It was a great experience. Great music, great atmosphere. Loved the painting. It was the one with the Eiffel Tower and the couple. The instructor was really sweet and helpful. Make sure you get there early, parking is hard to find. Again, great experience, great painting, highly recommend for a couple or group of friends.
I loved my experience last time so I brought my friends back. But the experience was horrible. Lots of classes were happening at the same time with only two people running around. There was no clear instructions or help. The material was old, dirty and used.
This was my boyfriend and mine’s first experience at the Color Cocktail Factory. We chose to do the terrarium class and it did not disappoint! Everything was included, including the glass, succulents, soil and all decorative material. They taught us how a terrarium works and how to care for our plant. I’m happy to say my plant is still alive and thriving! The folks there were very helpful with any questions and we enjoyed the laid back, casual setting. We will definitely be back to enjoy another class!
It was a spur of the moment date night on a Thursday. Both first timers at painting and pros at drinking so this seemed like it was a fit for my date and I. Our instructor was very outgoing and took her time helping each one of us out. Would definitely do this again! End product came out better then I expected!
Came here to with some friends to celebrate two of our birthdays! Its a BYOB place and the instructors are super nice and helpful for the sip n paint classes. The instructor explained everything super well, and there were other employees who came around to the tables to help us out too/ offer suggestions. Id definitely come back!
The Color Cocktail Factory provides a fun and unique experience that I highly recommend. I attended the Sip and Paint class where we created a Van Gogh–inspired Chicago skyline. All the art supplies are provided and you only need to bring a bottle of wine to tap into your creativity. The instructor guides you step-by-step through the process and ensures all attendees are on track with their creations. Even though everyone followed the same steps, it was interesting to observe how each persons final product was slightly different. I am extremely pleased with my final product that serves as a great talking piece. I am looking forward to attending another class.
I love this place!!! The atmosphere inspires you to create something cool and non-standard. On my fourth visit, I was accompanied by my mom and sister and we had an amazing night. The instructor was amazing. He offered one on one attention to all attendees. I will recommend Color Cocktail Factory to anyone inquiring.
Very fun classes to choose from with great staff! I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to come here and do this, especially fun for group events!Cant wait to come here again and have a blast!Thank you all for your awesome work and keep it up!
I had so much fun here with my friends! The instructor was amazing. We had help every stepof the way. The environment was fun! I’m planning to go back again soon!
This was my first time and I must say I had a really great time. I did the painting but my next visit I will do the molding. A great place for a ladies night or bachelorette party birthday party or just a let’s get out for a couple of hours type of night. Sip wine refreshments and enjoy yourself. If I could give 10 stars I would. I have been recommending this place to my friends.
Had an awesome girl’s night out. I have been to the Pilsen location twice! The instructor is very passionate and guide you step by step into creating your painting! The room was spacious, and the great class size, about 15-20 people. Great experience and would recommend to anyone interested in art jamming!
My friend and I took an evening mosaic class at Color Cocktail! It was a great experience; our instructor was knowledgeable, willing to share ideas and give suggestions. But most importantly, she was encouraging and kept the atmosphere fun and functional!The location is great and fun—with a variety of various artistic expressions!! I cannot wait to come back for a terrarium or sip and paint class!
I have to say. This place is amazing! I’ve been going here since the start. Each time I am more and more amazed. They way they have grown so quickly, is awesome. The layout of this place is mostly open concept. They have a lot of room, for as many people in your group. They also have multiple classes daily and even multiple classes sectioned off at the same time. Honestly I bring everyone I know here, because the environment is so welcoming and fun.
Great place! The instructors are great and it’s a fun time messing around as a wannabe painter. They provide everything thing, so it’s great you don’t have to worry about bringing any materials. Very recomendable for a date night, group friends night out or for a kids afternoon event! Makes me want to paint more!
I Loved the Atmosphere the Staff made everyone feel comfortable and Welcome... They were very assertive to our Needs and with helping us with EVERYTHING.. I’ll be bringing more ladies with me the next time I come
I had such an amazing time at Color Cocktail Factory. I bought a date night to this from Groupon for an amazing deal. When I arrived the instructors were so nice and warming. They allow you to bring your own bottle of wine and have a nice ice machine to go with it. They have everything set up with the drawing board and paints. They go step by step and guide you to have a master work of art and believe me Im the worst at arts and crafts. I would highly suggest this for a great date night or even a nice night out with a group of friends or your mom and aunts.
Fun place to have a girls night out! My friends and I attended the naughty nude painting event and had a great time! I love that its also a BYOB and they provide both cups and ice. The instructor was patient, calm and helpful. I am no Picasso, but I definitely learned some new things.
This was probably my favorite place to have “paint night”. The Artist was so much fun and the experience was great. We had a large group and every single one of us had a blast. I cannot wait to book another paint night. You are definitely going to enjoy your experience whether it’s your 1st or 50th. So much fun and another great piece of art to hang in my home.
Color Cocktail Factory is a great place for date night or a girl’s night. It’s a fun atmosphere with great staff members. Staff members also go at a slow pace for those who are artistically challenged. Plus, it’s BYOB and they provide cups. What a nice place.
This review for Mosaic class. It was very boring and instructor barely spent 20 mins with the class in total. Then he was in and out.It was like: here is a glue and here is tiles pieces, you guys go and put them togther.Not much variety of raw materials.Nevertheless, they were very nice and welcoming.
Color Cocktail Factory was so much fun! They have a wide range of classes, skilled instructors, and a relaxed setting perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. I had a blast at both classes Ive done there!
Been to 3 classes with Color Cocktail Factory now. Two were at different locations and all three times were with different instructors, but each class was great. It is a great place to de-stress, have fun with friends, and if you are interested in painting as a hobby, it is a great place to test out techniques with an instructor there to help guide you and answer questions. The other great thing is that no two paintings at the same class look the same, but in the best way! I love that I can go with a group of friends and we all walk away with slightly different versions of the image.Also, they have an AMAZING variety of paintings and images. I havent been to any of their glass making, mosaic, or terrarium classes yet, but I hear they are great.
I attended a sip and paint on a Sunday afternoon. We were a small class and I appreciated that. The place gave me inspiration and all the tools were provided before class. We were done painting within 45 minutes. Then our instructor left to clean brushes and we were alone for the rest of the time — no further instructions were given. At one point the other participants and myself wondered if we were free to go or if there was anything after. There wasn’t a connection with our instructor or even a sense of teaching. She didn’t walk around to provide suggestions or help and I feel that’s important as a paying client. It was good for a one-time experience.
The paint and sip was very fun! The atmosphere was great, the music was great and the company was amazing. It’s definitely a networking opportunity. I will definitely return for more classes.
I had a wonderful time during one of the soap making classes with my girlfriend! We had such an amazing time and the instructor was phenomenal! Will be returning soon with groups.
I have 5 paintings and 2 clay sculptures from Color Cocktail factory. The instructors are very cool and help out without moving too fast. They assist if you’re stuck on something and they make sure everybody’s project is complete before they leave. They take photos for you and let you host parties for big groups. Booking online is fast and easy and the location is convenient.
Very good experience! The instructor was helpful, encouraging and witty. The energy of the group was good. I really enjoyed myself and cant wait for the next experience. Ill choose an easy painting the next time.
Great place to go for a date night! A nice fun filled night with lots of laughs and, for us, sake bombs! The candle making class was the best! I highly recommend it!
Been to the color factory a few times and I have enjoyed myself. Fun instructors that assist and make it easy to follow their work. Definitely recommend for a ladies night out!
This place is very cool. I attended terrarium and painting classes here and they were absolutely fun. And the best part about these classes are its BYOB. Could not ask for more!!
This place is great to sip and learn. You will learn a mix of technique and how to paint different styles. The atmosphere is great and all you need to bring is a bottle of your favorite drink. I highly recommend this place for a great night out before or after dinner.
What a great place!! Shero (Jamy) was our teacher and was awesome! I had my Sisters post wedding party there and we had so much fun!! Theres so much to create and Im looking forward to getting my daughter signed up for the childrens camp. Thank you Color Cocktail Factory!! Cant wait to go back soon!!
So much fun! I took my husband for his first time and he also enjoyed it. Cant wait to come back to start another masterpiece!
I have been a costumer of the Color Cocktail factory since 2017 and can’t imagine participating in any another Sip n’ Paint program. Not only are the teachers TALENTED beyond belief, PATIENT, & inviting. They are FUN. The instructors extend themselves as if they are friends taking the class with us! Think of them as your artistically inclined bestie.
Color cocktail factory is such a fun experience. I love the fact that the instructors are so helpful for those that have never painted before. This class is easy for all experience levels!
Had a great time, perfect for dates or groups. Plenty of supplies to create and easy atmosphere to enjoy a few drinks. I participated in the terrarium class, instructors were prepared and all materials were high quality
This class was awesome, from the people in the class to the instructor. Everyone was really nice and helpful and offered a lot of encouragement I’m not gifted in the arts at all and I thought my painting was going to be a big blob but they helped me make my painting turn out amazing! I can’t wait to do another class.
This is an awesome place to harness your creative expertise...no expertise needed on your part! They guide you through the process and make it fun to enjoy with friends or a great date night!
I love the kids and family painting events. I and my 8-year-old cant wait to go back soon! Great friendly staff was always around to answer any question we had
I tried Color Cocktail Factory with my fiancé as a surprise date & we both loved it. Our instructor was awesome, especially for both of us who are not artistically gifted! We would definitely return and see what other masterpieces we could create!
Ive been here a few times for painting classes, paint your pottery, and make your own terrarium class. All of the classes have been great and the instructors give clear directions and are very welcoming. Highly recommend!
Color cocktail factory kids classes are the best. My kids always had a fantastic time, brought home great art and learned about various artists with a hands on project related to the artist. Looking foreword to the next one!
Came here a a couple times as a Girls Night Out event and loved it. Yaya was our instructor. He is very patient, and explains each step thoroughly to help you through with your masterpiece. In the end, you get a great souvenir that you can put on your wall and admire! Make sure you sign up to get their emails as they often have great sales!
My boyfriend and I love coming here. So many different paintings to choose from, and both instructors are so nice and helpful. Will definitely be back very soon!
I went twice for different activities. One was the BYOB Nude painting and the second was for the ash tray and pipe class. The instructors are informative and walk around to ask if anyone is in need of help. I will definitely return soon.
My girlfriend and I have attended 3 total classes at Color Cocktail Factory: terrarium making, candle making, and pottery painting. We have thoroughly enjoyed each class. We especially love our terrariums and can’t go back to make more!
I love this place. I’ve been more than once and each time was great. The instructors are very helpful.
Extremely fun experience! The instructors are delightful and the variety of classes is excellent! Would definitely do another pottery class.
I had a great time! It was great painting and sipping wine. I will use my piece in a guest bedroom.
My friends and I went here to celebrate a bachelorette. We had a great time! The instructor was very professional and helpful, and the environment relaxed and fun with great throwback music.
This place is great! I like to come here with friends or alone to unwind after a long work week. Good prices too!
Safe, mature, FUNInstructors are extremely nice, patient and helpful.
The painting classes was super fun and therapeutic at the same time. Our instructor was helpful and didn’t go too fast. I’ve been here twice and will go again!
Excellent facility! We did the build your own terrarium and it was such a fun time. Perfect for a date night or going with a group of friends. Will go again!
My girlfriends and I went for my birthday. We did the nude model, we absolutely loved it. Great time, they even broke the steps down so well that our paintings turned out nice. We’re going back next month for the didlo class.
Had an amazing time. The teacher was super nice and helpful. The group all did great paintings, would do this again for sure.
I had a great experience. The space is fun and inspires creativity. I took the mosiacs class and am so proud of the piece I was able to produce!
Great location and big space. We had a group of 10 girls for a terrarium class but not much attention was given by the instructor and the class was very rushed and ended in less than an hour. The instructor did not explain the steps well at all and it was very hard to hear him.
Great for a birthday, girls night, or date night! So much fun Ive been twice! And Im going back for other classes.
Had a fun and nice experience. I learnt how the oil paintings can be easy to start with. Nice place and ambiance.
Did the Van Gogh + skyline class. Great, enthusiastic instructor! Had a good time and will be back for future painting classes.
I love the class. I went for my birthday in December and me and my friends had a wonderful time. We painted the Chicago river walk and it was easy and Yahya was very helpful and detailed. He even help the guest that was late play catch up.
It’s a very nice experience. We had fun in the ~2 hours drawing activities. You don’t need any drawing experience to finish a beautiful painting!
Great experience! Loved doing the wine and paint along with the pottery night. Everyone was very helpful and there was a wide selection of pottery and paint!
Great time! Enjoyed the whole experience! Love painting and hanging out with friends.
It was fun
It was a great experience, this was my first time out there at a painting class and YaYa made it very easy for me. He is fantastic to work with, the canvas was ready, colors were laid out and brushes were provided. He breaks the entire excercise into small pieces that are easy to implement, and then slowly the painting comes together. I will go again, in fact I have already been there twice. Being out there is a pure joy
I honestly love this group!! I’ve done 4 or 5 classes here within the last 6 months. I plan to do a lot more with them. Yahya is a fun instructor, I’ve had him for all of my classes.
Sip and Paint at The Color Cocktail Factory is fun! Really great experiences both times I attended.
Went with my wife, best friend and his girlfriend. We drank, painted, and had an amazing time! Would deff recommend!
Went there on a girls night to their terrarium building class, not only was the teacher very nice and helpful but it was so much fun especially since it was BYOB. They had a painting class starting as we were leaving so I’ll definitely have to go back to try it.
