This place is really cute.
The inside is a little dated and the people who work there all look like they're from the Jersey shore, but it's still one of the best tourist trap type of bars in the area.
The Dueling Piano bar was really cool and both players were quite proficient.
The alcohol was really reasonable and the crowd was great.
I would totes go again
So visiting Florida, the boyfriend suggested we experience The Howling Moon because he knows how much I love my home town's Dueling Piano Bar "The Shout House."
I can honestly say I wasn't disappointed! The pianists were great, really funny... just how I like them. Never heard a better "Come Sail Away, Eric Cartman Version" in my life! It was pretty busy for a weeknight too, everyone really got into all the acts.
Loved the "Word of the Day" and "High Roller" bidding wars. We had a bunch of diehard southern college football fans battling for their school with the words. That's not really a California thing so it was neat to see!
Great bucket type drinks too, fabulous idea!
My girlfriends and I visited this bar on our recent trip to Fort Walton, we had the best time ever! So much fun its the only bar we went to the whole trip! What a great place! The music was great and the musicians were so funny! The service was super and the drinks were very reasonable. The "Word of the Day" and "High Roller" paid messages are very entertaining! $10 per person cover charge after 8pm so we got there early (glad we did because sitting by the stage is a must!) They take reservations but call early. We had a blast! From now on we will be known as "the six pack" at Howl at the Moon =) I highly recommend Howl at the Moon if you're visiting the area
Review Source:This was our second time at Howl at the Moon (one for each vacation to the Destin area) and we had another great time! Â The musicians are witty, entertaining, talented, and always surprise us with the songs they know, both old and new.
The "Word of the Day" and "High Roller" paid messages are funny, but get a little old since it seems most everyone there is on vacation from somewhere else and paying money to say "Go Hogs" and "Which bowl game did Texas play in last year?" and "Who Dat?" Â But whatever, it's a lot of fun. Â I enjoyed the remake of a Justin Bieber music video, and their rendition of "Tomorrow" from Annie complete with a Daddy Warbucks plucked from the audience.
I highly recommend Howl at the Moon if you're visiting the area and want to have a fun late-night outing, if you've never been to a dueling piano bar, or both.
Used to go to the LA Howl and it was my favorite spot. Â This one was pretty good - maybe I just hadnt had enough to drink to really appreciate it :) (it is that kind of place). Â Drinks were cheap and service was awesome. Â We were getting drinks from the bar but were asked multiple times about cocktail service. Â This is a really entertaining night out and I'm sure we'll go back!
Review Source:This bar is an absolute dive, but it's my kind of dive. The performers (like five guys sitting down at whichever instrument they feel like and playing a song together) were drunk off their butts and required lots of crowd participation. Drink prices are reasonable and they keep 'em coming. Crowd is drunk but not belligerent. Waitresses are attractive. Doorguys are friendly and helpful. And, for the touristy-types, they have awesome crap you can buy. The cover charge also gets you into the Swamp and some other place I can't remember the name of, so you can bar hop if you want to.
