The Paint Bar in Portland!! I personally don’t drink alcohol but they have nonalcoholic drinks and you get to paint + chitchat. Also the store Terrarium is amazing! It’s a workshop to make terrariums (you pick the plants, jar/glass, little statues, etc) and you get to eat snacks while you make it :))
