Sip &
Play

Think paint night, but with music! Grab a drink, pick up an instrument, and make some music with friends.

Perfect for groups of 3–6, our Sip & Play experience is a relaxed, social way to explore music together. No experience necessary — our expert instructors will guide you through learning a song in just 90 minutes. Enjoy drinks, laughs, and the thrill of making music with your crew. Whether it's a date night, birthday celebration, or just a fun night out, Sip & Play is Downtown Boston's most creative happy hour.

How Sip & Play works.

Book your session.

Pick a date, gather 3–6 friends or coworkers, and we'll handle the rest. Whether it's a birthday, team building, or just a fun evening out, we'll set the stage for an unforgettable experience.

Step 1 icon

Sip and learn.

Arrive, grab a drink, and settle in. Our friendly instructors will walk you through the basics — pick an instrument (guitar, keys, or vocals) and start learning a hit song together.

Step 2 icon

Play it out.

By the end of the night, your group will perform the song together. No pressure, just pure fun. You'll leave with great memories, new skills, and probably a few inside jokes.

Step 3 icon

Sip & Play is like paint night but way more fun. You don't need to know anything about music — just show up, grab a drink, and have a blast. It's the perfect way to do something different with your friends or Coworkers.

We had an absolutely spectacular experience at Musician's Playground! The experience was amazing - a wonderful mix of taking every individual out of their comfort zone while bringing everyone together. I can't recommend them for group events highly enough!

Musician's Playground was the perfect venue for our group outing! The space is beautiful, inviting, and set up perfectly for engagement. The owner was there and was a fantastic host—welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience. It was a unique and fun way to spend an evening!
