Big Bang - Dueling Piano Bar

I've never been a huge fan of Big Bang (there is one in columbus as well that I've been to many times). But this particular location pretty much sucked. First, you pay $6 cover. Ok, whatever that's standard for a piano bar. But then in order to actually hear a decent variety of music you have to make your own requests and lay down at least $10 for it to be played in a reasonable amount of time. So, already you're out $16 just to stand around in this oddly set-up bar and listen to one decent song. At least the other Big Bang I've been to likes to switch it up every once in a while. We all love Journey, yes. But I heard "Don't Stop Believin" TWICE in the matter of an hour. WHY? It's fun the first time to have the entire bar yell the words while subsequently spilling their drink all over my leg, but a second time in the matter of 60 minutes is too much. How about some variety. The rest of the night was complete with singing "happy birthday" to all the people celebrating their birthdays on the stage with a dirty rendition of "head, shoulders, knees, and toes". Entertaining, I suppose, but still... Anyway, the lighting is weird too. It's like they can't decide if they want it to be dark or completely lit. Basically, I think the only people that were having fun were the two bachelorette parties and the people wasted after a cards win. Note to self: get hammered before attempting to enjoy this place.

Brought 12 girls in for a bachlorette and chose the piano bar as a last stop. We have been to piano bars in a few cities so we knew the general idea of what to expect.

The Blues and the Blackhawk's had just played and for some reason the piano players were obsessed with the idea of pitting the fans against each other. Cute bit for 20 minutes but an hour later we almost left so we didn't have to hear about it anymore. The whole bar was annoyed. We paid to suggest a song and three hours later we walked out the door still waiting. Not a terrible travesty but it would have been nice.

I will say the wait staff were awesome which is usually not the case in a piano bar. We never had a problem getting a drink whether we were at the bar or at our tables next to the stage.

Would come back for another night to give it another shot.

This place is a lot of fun.  The Dual piano's and the crowd singing along is a blast.  The drink prices are a but pricey and the place can get very crowded and tight,  but other then that it is a lot of fun!  On a busy night, there is NO room for dancing,  just not that type of place.
