Dinner & drinks before your easel

Grab a drink, follow a local artist step by step, and leave with a canvas you painted yourself. No experience needed — it's a night out first, an art class second. Here's what's coming up in Aylmer.
4.8 average ratingPaint Nite in Aylmer is the city's favourite paint and sip night — a guided painting party hosted right inside local Aylmer bars and restaurants, not a formal art studio. A local artist walks you and your group through a featured painting over about two hours while you enjoy a drink of your choice. Everything you need is included: easel, canvas, paints, brushes and an apron. You just bring your people.
Whether you're planning a date night, a birthday, a team social or a low-key evening out, our Aylmer events run across the most popular neighbourhoods in and around Quebec. Browse upcoming nights by date, venue or artist below, grab your seat, and check out online in under a minute — no experience required, and you take your canvas home.
New to it? Most first-timers are genuinely surprised by what they paint. The whole point of Paint Nite is that anyone can do it: your artist breaks the painting into simple, guided steps and works the room the entire time. Prefer to stay in? We also run live virtual and on-demand classes you can paint from home, anywhere in Quebec.
We host inside real neighbourhood bars and restaurants — explore the rooms, then pick your night.

Most of our Aylmer venues are full bars and kitchens, so come hungry. Grab a bite and a drink before your easel, then settle in — your supplies are already waiting at your seat.
Candlelit wine bars and skylit lounges make Paint Nite one of the most-booked date nights in Aylmer — a low-pressure, high-charm evening that beats another dinner-and-a-movie.
Our larger Aylmer venues seat big groups, and we can run a private party just for your crew — no strangers at the table. It breaks the ice better than any escape room.
Nearly every Aylmer venue is a short walk from transit or has parking nearby, so the whole group can get there easily — and get home easily after.
Every night is run by real local people — an event planner, a host artist, and a neighbourhood venue. Here's who makes it happen.
A local event planner books the venues, lines up the artists and builds the Aylmer calendar — running it like their own small business.
A vetted local artist leads the room, teaching the painting step by step and keeping the night fun. Every host is a real person from your area — trained and quality-reviewed, never a script-reading franchise employee.
We don't own a single building. Every Aylmer night happens at a real neighbourhood bar or restaurant with a full bar and kitchen.
Show up, paint, sip and laugh. Leave with a canvas you made yourself — no experience needed.
Bars and restaurants across Aylmer fill seats and sell drinks on slow weeknights by hosting Paint Nite. We bring the artists, the supplies and the crowd — you bring the room.
The faces behind the easels
Joyce's events are always lively and fun. I always learn something new from her teaching.
It’s about time you have events to benefit causes to help those in need!!!! What a fantastic idea!!! I’ll sign up for these any day!!! The artist was fun and talented as well!!! I had a blast!!!
This was such a fun night! It was easy to follow along, the instructions were great and we were given ample time to complete each step. We all loved it and would definitely go again!
It was so much fun and a great way to spend an evening with family & friends. You don’t need any previous painting experience and our host Cecilia made it very easy to learn and have fun. Highly recommended!
This paint nite was fantastic!! Savannah was such a wonderful, personable, kind and very helpful teacher who made this painting not only fun, but I learned some great techniques. We painted birds which are a very difficult thing to paint, but she broke it down in such easy steps, I love how my birds turned out!! Great teacher, beautiful painting- would definitely go again.
We had a lovely paint night with Mayisha. It was a really pretty painting, with clear instructions, and we all had a really nice evening!
London was awesome! They lead well and encouraged each participant. My friends and are planning to go as a group soon!
Love art and a good crowd? Become a Paint Nite host artist, set your own schedule, and get paid to lead the most fun night in town.
Can't make it out? Paint from home with a live virtual class led by a real artist, or grab an on-demand class and paint whenever you like.
Paint Nite is a social painting event hosted at bars and restaurants across Aylmer — not an art studio. A local artist guides you and your group through a featured painting over about two hours while you enjoy a drink. It's a night out first and an art class second: no experience required, and you take your canvas home.
Most in-person Aylmer events include your easel, canvas, paints, brushes, an apron and your artist for the night. Food and drinks are purchased separately at the venue. Virtual and on-demand classes are priced lower since they're location-independent. Check any event below for its exact price.
We host inside local bars and restaurants right across Aylmer and the surrounding Quebec area. See the venues and map below — nearly every spot is easy to reach by transit or has nearby parking.
Not even a little. The whole point is that anyone can do it. Your artist breaks the painting into simple, guided steps and walks the room the entire time. Most first-timers are genuinely surprised by what they take home.
