A No Good Double Crossing Mystery Paint and Sip
About this Event

Raise your flask. Lower your morals.


If bootleg cocktails, back-alley brushstrokes, and a little questionable behavior sound like your kind of night, you’ve just found your people.

Step quietly (and suspiciously) into Steady Pour for a 1920s-themed Mystery Paint & Sip, where the hooch stays hidden, the paint gets rowdy, and your canvas may hold a clue everyone else is desperately searching for.

Welcome — questionably, of course — to The Outrageously Illegal Society of the Bottomless Flask: a raucous crew of flappers, rum-runners, wisecrackers, and Northside troublemakers who know how to keep a night hopping even when the coppers are sniffing around.


What Happens on the Night

This is not a sit-back-and-watch experience.

You’ll:

  • Paint
  • Sip
  • Chase clues
  • Trade accusations
  • Side-eye your friends
  • Slowly realize that what you’re painting actually matters

As the night unfolds, you and your crew will piece together a tangled Prohibition-era mystery — one brushstroke, one whispered theory, and one suspicious detail at a time.

Your painting isn’t just art.
It may contain a clue that helps crack the case.


What Your Ticket Includes
  • A fully guided painting experience (no art skills required)
  • An immersive 1920s M**der mystery that unfolds throughout the night
  • Team-based gameplay with clues, theories, and bold accusations
  • Your own personal flask, filled with a complimentary cocktail
  • A canvas that plays a role in the mystery
  • Prizes, bragging rights, and questionable alliances

Food: Light bites will be available for purchase at the bar throughout the night.


The Stakes

By the end of the evening, one crew will out-scheme, out-luck, or out-bluff the rest and claim the title of Winning Crew… for now.

And then, in true speakeasy fashion, we’ll bestow the highest honor this disreputable Society can offer upon one standout guest:


THE BIG CHEESE OF THE BOTTOMLESS FLASK

Glamorous. Ridiculous.
Bragging rights guaranteed.


Your Bootlegger Crews

On the night, you’ll be assigned to one of five Prohibition-era teams — each with their own brand of trouble:

  • The Hooch-Happy Hotshots – Loud, lively, and convinced they’re the sharpest mugs in the joint (they’re absolutely not).
  • The Copper-Dodging Crew – Forever ducking the law, tripping over clues, and somehow getting away with everything.
  • The Highball Riffraff – A rowdy mix of charm, chatter, and questionable decision-making.
  • The Bootleg Bumblers – Experts at spilling hooch, dropping clues, and blaming everyone else for it.
  • The Rum-Soaked Rumblemakers – Equal parts liquid courage and loud shenanigans — always ready to start a racket.

Good to Know
  • This experience is 21+
  • No art experience needed — guidance provided
  • Come solo or bring a crew (groups welcome)
  • Costumes encouraged, but not required
  • Tickets are limited


Think you can keep your brush steady, your theories sharper, and outplay the rest of the room?

Then step inside — and try not to attract too much attention.
