Ernie Biggs

I have been three times with the same results. This place is a low budget mess. I have been to the one in K.C. which is much classier. The drinks were served in dirty glasses, they had absolutely no non-alcoholic drink options for designated drivers other than soda (no O'Douls, no virgin cocktails, no nothing). Staff is a not very professional in dress or demeanor. Later in the evening a bunch of kids came in (most of them looking like they could barely be 21), they were loud, obnoxious and uninterested in the piano show. Wish Wichita had a classier FUN option for the over 30 crowd.

I kind of feel like if you've been to one dueling piano bar, you've been to them all. But for Wichita, there's definitely the unique factor going on with a place like this.

Ernie Biggs says they don't take reservations for groups, but when you get there, there are clearly tables reserved for big groups - so that's confusing. Our group of ~10 put on a list to sit at a table only if the reserved party didn't show up by the time the show started (they didn't, so here's a tip if you possess magical powers and get a reserved table -- you can't be late).

You can request songs but no surprise they have their favorites and crowd pleasers, and obviously the more money you throw in with the request the more likely it is to be played. There were 3 performers and at times one of them would be playing the drums or guitar so that's a little different. Many birthdays and bachelorette parties, they have fun with getting people up on stage and are regular comedians with the patrons.

Service was quick considering how crowded it was, but the alcoholic drinks seemed to be pretty watered down.

Ernie Biggs dueling piano bar just opened this month in place of the gas lamp grille. I love me a place where you can drink, and participate with the other drunk patrons. We got here around 10pm and the place was packed. There was no where to sit and we had to stand. I guess they have a seating area which gets reserved quick. Eventually people left and we got to sit.   I anticipate it being pretty busy since it just opened this month.

The crowd is an older crowd, reminded me of my Cali days partying with the housewives of OC (cougars, if you're not familiar) and they seemed to have their fun too. Drinks were downtown/old town decent.

The entertainment consisted of 2 pianos on stage (hence the dueling part) a drummer and some guitars. The entertainers would take requests from the crowd for free and play what they knew. If you really want your song to be played and they know how to play it you have to put your money where your mouth is and leave a great tip. I heard some Katy petty, ke$ha, Bon jovi, the cranberries and some naughty limericks. They know how to get the crowd going for sure. People were dancing in the aisles, up on tables, sneakin on stage dancing. We had fun for sure and would totally come back with a group of friends.
