pour-traits.

Melbourne’s only paint‑and‑sip with a fully licensed bar and kitchen — no BYO, everything arrives right at your easel.

An elegant, unique, and cosy paint‑and‑sip experience where cocktails, canapés, and creativity come straight to your seat.

You paint, we pour — no need to bring food or drinks, everything is provided.

Warm Summer nights, an open roof, and inspiration from the stars above set the scene.

Enjoy our own beers and ciders on tap, a range of wines from our partnered Victorian wineries, cocktails and spritzes, while our resident artist, Emma, guides you through a relaxed, all‑levels painting session.

Hosted in The Taproom Nextdoor — our stunning private events space — this intimate experience is limited to 20 guests.

No BYO, no queues, no interruptions, just a fully immersive creative night.

Pre‑order special menu items when booking, or enjoy a range of dishes on the night, delivered directly to your easel.

Make it a full night out and begin the night with a dinner in The Beerhall, then wander over for your painting session.

With years of experience and a natural gift for painting, she effortlessly teaches guests of all skill levels — from complete beginners to seasoned creatives — how to paint using acrylics. She’ll take you from wondering how on earth you’ll create a masterpiece at the start of the session, to proudly hanging your finished artwork at home for friends and family to admire.

You can explore her work on Instagram or commission a custom piece at @emcowen_art.
