I think there weren't enough people here to really create that wild, hilariously ridiculous, no holds barred vibe that you're supposed to have at a dueling piano bar. I'm worried that this place wasn't full on a Friday night; hopefully that's not typical!
I think the talent here is pretty great... but they need to be playing to a poppin', packed, and drinking room. These dudes rock the guitar, bass, and drums in addition to the keys, and I think all 4 performers each played every instrument! I'm really impressed by that, but you can't have a hilarious improv show when there isn't enough good material coming your way. I do think these men did pretty well with what they had, however. Thankfully, there were a few perfect candidates in the crowd; a bachelor getting married the next morning, 2 drunk twenty-something ladies who were about to move to Florida, your "my college is the best ever and it's all I ever think about even though I'm like 47" rivals, and a lone woman in her fifties who had no shame. Like, a wouldn't get off the stage - inappropriately touched the pianists - took off her bra - why would you ever dance like that in public - kind of woman. I was scared of her. But she seemed nice. :)
Anyway, I just want Louie Louie's to be really awesome! They have the potential, we just need to get more people out there. Overall I had fun. I laughed, I felt really embarrassed for people (and that's the way it's supposed to be), I sang along, and I'll go back!
I had a pretty good time here last Saturday! It was my B-day, but luckily I escaped the stage antics ha.
Things to know for those that have never gone before: This is NOT a clean show. Don't bring your gram-gram unless she loves screaming curse words and suggestive songs (hey, some of them do!) This is THE place to bring your friends celebrating ANYTHING if you want them dragged on stage and embarrassed. Try to get here early and snag a table, otherwise you are standing in the back which can get tiresome. The reason for all those extra napkins at your table is for you to write your song requests on and bring them up to the stage, with a big tip!!
Also yes, the drinks are weak, I ordered a Sweet Caroline which tasted like juice and nothing but juice. I stuck to beer and tequila shots and felt all right after that so no big deal breaker for me. It is LOUD. Really loud. Bad for your hearing levels of loud. As this was my first time I don't know names, but the older piano player with the hat and beard was my favorite, he was having a good ol' time and made sure everyone else was having one with him! As was the young guy who let the birthday girl feel him up while he was trying to show her how to dance to "Joy To The World", it was far too funny. Good times. Â When the new guys showed up and brought out the guitars and new-ish songs however is when I called it a night, a bit too much ruckus for me (I sound old I know).
I am not a bar scene girl, but this is a fun event for all types... with a sense of humor. Overall a heck of a lot of fun.
Went with a groupon. The pizza they provided was from little Caesars. Ehh.. Ok... Its true. The drinks were weak. At first I was enjoying. But I began to wonder how many songs did they actually played of the customers request. There were many times when it was dead silence from the crowd because they obviously did not request that song. When they start playing the drums or slamming the piano with this wooden block, it just became rackety and I couldnt even hear most of the lyrics over the drums and beating. MAIN thing!!! SMOKING! why couldnt they at least split the room and section off a non smoking side. It won't completely block any of the smoke but at least I won't have to sit 2 feet from a smoker.
Review Source:Fun, fun, fun. Â I had a great time. Â The musicians are very talented, Â They take requests all night and both play them and play off them. Â They played the piano, guitar, and drums. Â I hadn't been to this kind of venue before and really enjoyed the show. Â There was a good crowd of happy people singing and clapping along with the tunes and dancing in the aisles. Â They even played Disney tunes!. Â These guys are funny as hell. Â I will be back. Â
I don't know about the mixed drinks as I had beer. Â Those were fine.
This was my wife and my first time at a piano bar and we had a really fun time. Â A few critique's of our experience (some that may be true of all piano bars):
- As commented previously, the drinks are ridiculously weak. Â I ordered a margarita on the rocks that was pretty much all rocks.
- The profanity doesn't really add anything to the show. Â The musicians were great and had a good raport with the crowd--no need to make it so raunchy.
- We used a Groupon that included a free pizza. Â The pizzas ended up being Little Caesar's that they brought in and kept under a heat lamp. Â C'mon guys.
Went here last night. The musicians are awesome, and sooo raunchy! We loved it!! (You bitch, you slut, you WHOOOOOORRREEE) this was chanted after almost every song! LMAO.
The reason for the one star was the potentcy, (or lack thereof) of the damn drinks!! My friend spent about $40 (2 long islands, 2 shots, and a cranberry vodka, and he's a light weight) just on himself and he was buzzing for all of 20 mins. Just a bunch of sweet stuff to try and mask the weakness of the drinks. Do they figure the patrons are already drunk and can't tell the difference? I wanted to complain, but didn't want to seem pretentious. Â
The musicians earned the 1 star for this place, and we're a  pretty easy-going group. I was disappointed, but hey, you live and learn!! Won't return unless they go back to the drawing board on those drinks!! Â
P.S.-Be ready to smell like smoke once you leave, it's allowed in here!
