Maybe the third time will be a charm. The Burn has learned that Muse Paintbar — an art studio offering classes and paint-and-sip events — is once again working on a location at One Loudoun.
Readers who have been with us since the earliest days may recall that back in November 2017, we reported that a Muse Paintbar location was in the works for One Loudoun. Then nothing happened — at least nothing the public could see.
Then in July 2019, a banner went up that showed the Muse was back in the game and working on a studio at One Loudoun. That was four years ago — and nothing came of that either.
Now, the Muse is back. The Burn has learned that Muse Paintbar is apparently coming to a roughly 2,400 s.f. space on Easthampton Plaza.
To help you geolocate — this is a few doors down and the opposite side of the street from the Alamo Drafthouse. It’s next door to the new Big Buns burger joint and on the backside of Sense of Thai St.
Muse Paintbar has more than 20 locations in the Mid-Atlantic and New England, including several here in Northern Virginia.
Muse bills itself as the “premier” paint-and-sip experience and most locations have a bar and also offer a light food menu.
Fingers crossed this time it will stick and — six years later, give or take — Muse Paintbar will finally make its much-heralded arrival in Loudoun County.
