Enjoy a drink from the bar
Nothing mixes with the creative juices like a nice glass of wine or sparkling, good food and an inspirational ambience. Come and join us for a drink at the bar.
Pop-Ups / we can bring ArtBar to you
If you have a cool venue, favourite restaurant or an office that you would like to be transformed into an event, we can bring ArtBar to you. We supply all the tools, you just bring the crew.
ArtBar Mixing drinks with paint
Celebrate with a drink, great food and more fun that you could think of with a paintbrush.
Even if your team have never tried anything artistic, we guarantee you’ll have a great time creating your own masterpieces while nibbling on gourmet grazing plates and sipping something like a crisp wine, sparkling or beer.
No experience is necessary. And in fact, the less you know about art, the bigger the surprise!
OR, if you are an aspiring artist who would like to enhance your skills, we offer private tuition.
Let the fun begin…
We cater for: hens nights, birthdays, baby showers, girls/guys night out, date night, mindfulness sessions, corporate functions or a small group of friends.
Nothing mixes the creative juices like a nice glass of wine, great food and an inspirational ambience. Whether there’s an inner artist you’d like to unleash or want to discover the artist you never knew, ArtBar is your perfect venue.

I arrived with a great degree of trepidation and apprehension as I had never attended anything similar. I left with a smile that could not be erased. What an awesome night! Eddie is a magnificent host and an amazing artist. Sally, behind the bar, behind the scenes and obvviously the brains in the organisation, is a legend. The soundtrack for the night was awesome and everyone got into it and had a ball. Artistic skills are not a pre requisit, fortunately, a sense of humour and willingness to have fun is all that is required. I thoroughly recommend Art Bar for a great night out.

I arranged a class for a work social event at ArtBar, and I’m so glad I did! We all had such an amazing time and were so surprised by our finished masterpieces. The owners, Eddie and Sally, were an absolute delight — we laughed so much, and their amazing playlist added even more fun to an already fantastic night! The studio itself is beautifully decorated and has such a great vibe the moment you walk in. Thank you again — we’ll definitely be back, both as a work group and with our family and friends!

We had such a fantastic time at ArtBar for our special occasion! Our host made everyone feel comfortable and encouraged us to explore our creativity, even if we had no prior painting experience. The relaxed vibe, combined with some good drinks, made it a perfect way to unwind and have fun. The whole process was easy to follow, and the music and atmosphere were spot on. We left with our own unique masterpieces and great memories. Definitely recommend this for a night out with friends or a celebration!

I recently celebrated my and my husband's birthday at ArtBar and had an amazing time! The hosts were fantastic, creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere that made the experience even better. We loved sipping on drinks while being guided step-by-step through our painting session. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a total beginner, you'll feel right at home. The venue's vibe, with great music and inspiring decor, added to the overall experience. Highly recommend ArtBar for a unique and enjoyable night out!

Oh, what a night! To celebrate one of my best friend's birthdays, we arranged a sip and paint class at Art Bar. As you walk into the venue, you are blown away by the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. Then you meet the hosts, Sally and Eddie, who are an amazing couple that have created a perfect piece of creative paradise in the middle of Moorabbin. The drinks were delightful, the music was perfect, and the guided painting session exceeded my expectations! We all had so much fun unleashing our inner artists. Overall, I highly recommend this venue for a special event, a night out with friends, or even if you want to chill and have some fun on your own. I will definitely be back!

We had an amazing night at the Art Bar in Moorabbin! Eddy and Sally are brilliant hosts and made the night so much fun! Eddy is such a great teacher, I’ve never painted before but with his expert guidance I am so happy with the art I produced!
The venue has such a brilliant vibe, from the moment you walk in, everywhere you look there is something amazing to feast your eyes on! It was so nice to be able to bring a lovely little cheese platter to share and Sally and Eddy are so generous with the cocktails! And everything is very reasonably priced! So many little personal touches, starting with your name painted at your table, and also beautifully painted on the gift bag that you bring your painting home in! Overall a fantastic night and I highly recommend you to go and visit … perfect for a fun date idea and also for big or small groups too! I can’t wait to go back! Thanks again Eddy and Sally

What a venue Art Bar Melbourne is! What a fun, creative night full of laughter in such amazing surroundings. All attending had a marvellous time and left raving about the night. Experience Art Bar once & you’ll be wanting to plan another visit before you’ve even left. Brilliant hosts Eddie, Sally & co have established a place with such heart. Thank you @artbarmelbourne

I was very lucky to enjoy the experience of the Art Bar through work today. The entire venue was amazing. It was lovely to spend time with workmates in person in a relaxed environment, with some great music. Eddie's attractive and colourful murals adorns the walls. I highly recommend this place. Thanks Eddie and Carolyn for a wonderful night!! I will be back for sure!!

We had Eddie and Sally from Art Bar host a Paint n Sip event at our school for Mother's Day. We had a great turn out and everyone really enjoyed it. It was a good way to get people together from across the school and even those who thought they couldn't paint went home with masterpieces. Would highly recommend and already looking forward to attending another one of their nights. Thanks for Carolyn and the team for organising this seamlessly at relatively short notice.

We had a wonderful time at ArtBar. Eddie was very helpful, and I was reluctant that my kookaburra would turn out, but it did better than expected. We had a lot of laughs, and good drinks and the ability to bring your treats to share was awesome. Would definitely do it again.

Worried that you can't draw? Feel like you're not Picasso or Monet? You don't have to worry here. This is an incredible experience where they help you draw like you've been doing it for years.
The staff are ultra friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was so good. They help you learn to draw and paint in a fun atmosphere where there's great music and company (good for parties or work events etc).
The decor inside is gorgeous and it's even more fun when you can drink while you paint.
If you're looking for something really different and fun to do with friends, then ArtBar is for you. It was a great night and would love to do this again sometime soon!

We visited ArtBar last night for one of our staff member's 50th birthday. It was the absolute perfect place to celebrate. We all had a lot of fun, and the owners are both fantastic. From the first contact when making the booking with Carolyn, right through to the end of the evening, everything was so professional and easy.
They lay out a beautiful light meal and drinks in the stunningly decorated foyer, and then you move into the actual studio where everything is layed out easily for every attendee. Eddie guides you on how to pencil in your image onto the canvas, followed by a short break, and then when you return to your easel, your paints are suddenly in front of you and you can go to town colouring in your image as you'd like. He comes around to help give you inspiration and encouragement and he's also your "DJ" for the night, playing music (and takes requests).
Overall, we were so thrilled with our experience at ArtBar. From the friendly owners, to the decor, to the music and to the painting itself, the whole night was so fun and faultless. Can't wait to come back.
