"Catching a concert can easily be done at MGM Casino. But what’s more fun than watching fleet-fingered musicians go back and forth on the ivories, playing everything from Miley Cyrus to Rihanna? This is a great place for bachelorette and bachelor parties, groups of friends, and out-of-towners alike. Bobby McKey’s keeps the mood light with bar classics like Buffalo chicken dip and barbecue sliders, as well as free-flowing beer towers." - Tim Ebner

Celebrated my cousins birthday last Saturday here. This was my first time ever at a Piano Bar and had no idea what it entailed because I never looked into it. I wanted to experience it with no expectations so I didn't look at any reviews prior to the event. Customer Service was definitely a whole 5 Stars! I booked tickets a little later than my cousin and her friends so the only tickets available were standing room or at the Mezzanine level so I would've been far from my cousin and her reservation party. I got a call the day before letting us know there were cancelations and they noticed we were a part of that group reservation and they asked if we wanted to move to their table and of course we wanted to so it worked out so perfectly!!!!! we were so happy. They didn't have to call us, but they did and that was pretty impressive. So thank you so much to their rep who gave me a call to make that happen! 5 Stars for the food because it was delicious .. the group had wings, nachos, quesadillas and the funnel fries and wow ... everything was so flavorful!!! love love loved it! 3 Stars for the drinks because they were just okay. We felt like a lot of it was really watered down. The cup sizes were also pretty small. It wasn't great, we barely felt any buzz and I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinking. I would recommend pre-gaming before the 21+ nights. 5 Stars for their service, too. They were packed and still were very attentive ... that's the way you run a business! 5 Stars for the decor.... really spoke 90s which was their theme of the night. Even the servers and hosts were dressed in 90s outfits. They have different themes every weekend, which makes it really interesting and fun. Prices are pretty normal for a place like that. Based off of what we ordered, their mixed drinks were about $13-$15. Food was about $10 - $15. All street/public parking, not sure if they validate it Now as for the entertainment and talent ..... wow wow wow wow!!!!! They had 4 talents and they were nothing short of amazing! I could stay listening to them rock out all night long!!! They were way too good. We had a whole ton of fun fun fun and my cousin enjoyed her birthday so much. People also celebrated their anniversaries and Bachelorette night. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area!! Worth every second ...

What a fun place! Located on the main stretch of National Harbor, Bobby Mckeys is a super fun time. If you are able, the standing room tickets are perfectly reasonable price-wise and you still get a full experience of the show. If you are looking for a more formal reservation, I’ve seen bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, etc where the party reserves a table on the main floor. I like the mezzanine level as well, and if you need, you can ask for elevator access to get up. The food and drinks are good and reasonably priced, arguably lower than what you’d find in DC proper. The musicians are a fun time and it’s always a great show!

Best place to go in the D.C. area. The pizza is good, and the veggies are great. The piano people are amazing at what they do, and they will play mostly anything if you harass them enough :).

What a great show. The atmosphere and the service were absolutely fantastic and really complimented the talented musicians that entertained everyone. All genres of music were covered, so there is something for everyone to sing and dance along to.

Super fun experience. For a couples night, for a group, even they offer family time for kids in the afternoons. Awesome musicians, the night we went there were 4, with different instruments, not only the pianos. The service is good, the menu offer is small but everything was delicious. The funnel fries were fantastic. Decoration is super cool, there are long tables in the center of the main floor. I feel that I need more space to be able to stand up and dance, our table location was a little tight. I would like their screen to be a lot bigger, it is hard to see the information there if you are far away. Also, I feel they need a few animation staff, different from the musicians, that go around the tables and interact with clients, t. The waitress danced at some point but with zero energy!

I had an amazing time at Bobby McKey's as me and 5 additional committee members composed of high-school alumni's put together a one to remember combined class reunion (98 to 02)! The staff here were ALL soooo helpful....shout out to Warren who greeted us with kindness and made sure our night was one to remember. I even got up there and sang a song with the dueling piano team who did a stellar job! Back that @## up was a great selection...lol.

Went for a birthday party with 10 people last night. Had the mezzanine seats (highly recommend). Great staff, entertainment, and drinks We needed an extra ticket after our initial purchase. I emailed them to make sure it could be added to our group. Lynett was quick to reply and helped. She was great to work with.

We had a fantastic event here in March for about 50 people with a buffet. Great music, service, and food. The musicians were very talented and entertaining and everyone had a good time. One of our best parties, and we have a few throughout the country every year. Highly recommend.

It was our friend's birthday and she wanted to celebrate at the piano bar We loved how interactive it was. Everyone seemed to have a really great time and the rock music was on point. The musicians are INSANELY talented and incredibly entertaining. You have the ability to make music requests, make sure to add a little tip to increase the likelihood of your song choice to be chosen. You can also put a message on the message board for a fee of course. If you want to put a phrase on the board for $5 someone can come along and change the message for a higher fee. Typically it's a showdown with military messages. PARKING: Plenty of parking garages. Park at St. George parking garage and exit towards Fleet St. It leads you directly next to the entrance. FOOD: Ginny Hendrix Cocktail $15 Empress Gin, Lavender Syrup, Honey Syrup, & Lemonade Hands down this was probably the best drink I've had in a long time. I'm not really a gin fan but this drink definitely tasted like juice and it was a favorite amongst the table. Santa Fe Chicken Egg roll $12 Grilled chicken, monterey jack cheese, black beans, corn, & peppers. Served with ancho chipotle sauce The egg rolls were standard but delicious. No one was disappointed with ordering this. Nacho Tots $15 Tater tots topped with seasoned beef, nacho cheese, sour cream, pico de Gallo, lettuce and jalapeño. Served with salsa & sour cream OR substitute tots for tortilla chips I got to try a little of this. It seemed okay but it definitely was really heavy. Adding the tots to this will definitely fill you up. BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders $14 Two sliders, with coleslaw, and pickles. Served with ketchup & ranch NF, DF Sub Old Bay Fries - $0.75 Sub Truffle Fries - $2.25 This was probably my least favorite item. I found the sliders to be very very bland. The most enjoyable part of the dish was just regular fries. All in all, great place for a happy hour and celebration. It will definitely lift your spirits. Side note, doors open at 7. If you have a reservation you should get there by 8.

Great atmosphere and the 2 gentleman playing the pianos are PROs! Adding a few more thoughts to reach character count

I want to give Bobby McKey's more stars but it's a struggle. There's a few pricing tiers between the main floor and the mezzanine but if you want your song request to be played it doesn't matter which seat you pick. It's more about money that you put in. $5 and $10 is throwing money down the drain, tried a $20 but that didn't work. Finally when we started putting in $50 or $100 as a table our songs started to get played! The drinks are imaginative and tasty but small and not strong. It was fun to think that all the suggestions would've been equal, that every body had a chance to hear their song. That all the requests would be put into a fishbowl or randomly selected but that's not the case. It's not about equality, it's the more you pay.

So.much.fun Went here on a friend's recommendation. She said that this dueling piano bar was super fun and a great experience. We have a 10-year-old son so my biggest worry was finding a family friendly matinee. They do offer a kids show once a month! I was a little bummed, when I looked online, they were all sold out. I called, and they were able to accommodate us, and had one table left. My advice, if they look like like they're sold out, call them! The total cost for two adults and one child with gratuity and tax was $106 for this show. I was tickled pink when I learned that there would be a buffet as well. After looking at the online comments, I knew not to get my hopes up for the buffet. It was definitely kid friendly food. French fries, mac & cheese, pizza, soda for days, they also had fruit and salad, and chicken nuggets. The food was absolutely fine. I loaded up on fruit and salad and chicken nuggets. The piano players were fabulous! They took request all afternoon. This was a great value for two hours of entertainment and food along with very friendly staff. This is a very unique place. Would totally recommend going back.

Let me preface this by saying Bobby McKey's is a very fun date night/girls night/whatever. The venue is a good size, and parking is easy to find nearby in a parking garage. We had floor seats because I had read that you could get your requests played easier that way. Service was solid. Our server stopped by several times. The drinks were pretty good, and it's standard bar fare-- wings, dip, nothing too special or filling (read: eat dinner elsewhere). The performers were great. They knew how to hype up the crowd, and they are no doubt talented. So why three stars? The gimmick of taking requests is, I think, only a gimmick. We sat with strangers at our table and we all submitted requests (walking napkins up to the stage). We were told that you had to provide cash/venmo in order to have a chance at getting your song played. I have no idea how much you have to pay because I tried $5, then $10, and nothing. Paying above that for a single song on top of admission seems a bit much. However, if you're celebrating something (i.e. paid for one of their larger packages), they make you feel special and play your requests. Why am I salty about this? The music selection was dated. Very dated. You got your Journey, Elton John, Billy Joel, Garth Brooks, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, etc. Now, don't get me wrong, I get it. Everyone knows those songs. It's true. BUT, I could count on one hand the songs they played from the 2000s to now. And that... doesn't play well. Do I recommend Bobby McKey's? Sure. But go in knowing that you are not likely to get your request played, and the music selection is classics.

SO FUN. I had always wanted to go to something like this but wasn't quite sure what to expect. We did this for a friend's birthday and it was just a blast. I wish I had remembered the names of the actual performers- because they were ALL awesome. The drinks were flowing, the songs were sing-along-able and the mood was festive and happy. I loved that they took requests and it was the perfect venue for a large group of people. Make sure to get there in enough time to get seated and order some drinks BEFORE the shows start- because it quickly becomes a little crazy and while the servers are hustling, it's hard to keep things moving quickly once the music is blasting. Definitely something great to celebrate birthdays or bach events. We had a ball.

Yelp
Had an amazing time at this place! Not only they play a lot of the requests, make the show entertaining, but they also played other instruments during some songs. The show is non-stop from 8 pm, we left at midnight, and they were still going on. We liked it so much we are going back next month to celebrate my husband's birthday. You can buy tickets on their website, if you want to seat at a table or want to host an event. There's table service for food and drinks. We got our tickets through Goldstar, they were approximately $5 cheaper and were only available on Friday nights. We had pretty good seats on the balcony, but there's no table service, you order and pick up at the bar. There is a parking garage behind the venue and the show is 21 and over. Apparently, they have additional kids and teens shows and brunch on other days.

A friend and I were gifted complimentary tickets for entry. I did not have food only drinks. The service was decent as it was a little busy. The atmosphere was immersive and the crowd was a perfect mix. The piano players were so well versed on all types of music!!!!

This was in walking distance from my hotel & I'm so glad I went! Everyone was nice from the doormen, ticket purchasers and entertainment. It was so immersive and such a mixed crowd. The food was pretty good but the servers seemed really busy & didn't seem to remember items I asked for. I'd definitely go back though. I had a phenomenal time.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC !! Plenty of garage parking. The atmosphere is fabulous and the food (We went on a Sunday Brunch so the price includes a ACYE Buffet) is really good. The guys & girls that work there are super friendly and outgoing !! The entertainment is one of a kind and definitely an experience !! Looking forward to going again !!

Great time here! We booked a table and were seated right away. Drinks and food come out right away. Beer was cold. We tried the tacos and they had nice shell! Wings were salty but tasty. The musicians play for a long time and be ready to tip to get your song

Bought tickets to the all ages show on a whim and was so thankful I did! It was a ton of fun and the musicians were incredible - fantastic piano, guitar and drum playing, and great singing. The staff who worked the show were also super friendly and nice. I was the strange lady asking if they had milk (it was on the list of beverages in the email, I swear!) as I have a child that only drinks milk as their beverage (seriously, we buy 3 gallons a week). They initially weren't able to find any, but a staff member tracked me down with a glass of the cold white stuff a few minutes later. They totally didn't have to do that but I was so appreciative. I'm planning to make a trip back to Bobby McKeys-next time without the kiddos!

If you want a unique date experience with your gf/bf, this is the place to be! Came here on a surprise date with my gf and it was my first time visiting as well. It's located within the National Harbor area so there are plenty of food options around if you want to eat or get drinks before heading over here. I definitely recommend getting reservations so you can get seated near the front where the pianos are at. The service was great and the piano players did their best to play our requested songs. The drinks and food were good also, but be prepared to pay somewhat higher prices given the area this bar is located in. If you have a few friends who drink beer, I definitely recommend getting a tower to help reduce the cost overall. Definitely coming back here at some point in the near future!

Definitely worth a stop if you are staying/visiting in the area. Doors open at 7pm and show starts at 8pm. We came early because we were worried about seats but apparently all seats are planned out and they will save your seat for you/your party. Come early if you want food or get started on drinks. If you plan to have dinner else where, feel free to come in at 8. Food was ok. 3 stars. Nothing special but satisfy your craving to have something to eat with drinks. Got the hurricane (rum base): the first one of the night tasted pretty good and strong. The second accidental order tasted- meh... lacked flavor and not where near the first one. Hubby got the margarita with silver patron: tasted very much like how I make mine at home with grand marnier. Beef nachos: 3.5. Your standard nachos. Ground beef meh. 0.5 stars for having pickled jalepenos which helped the taste of the whole thing. It was more cheesy vs nacho cheese. The show was awesome!!!! Very entertaining and creative. The performers were very energetic and I don't honestly know how they do it. The 4 stars was mainly for the show. Tip: becareful when you order. We ordered drinks and food. Then when I saw someone standing by our table, I asked for him to take my empty drink and then I got brought another drink. When I said I did ly order it, he just said are you sure and then walked away but leaving the drink. I did drink it and it was in my tab. I thought it was just us but the couple next to us also had the same issue. Just FYI.

Hours show closing at 2-3am. Came here at 1250. They were not letting anyone inside because it was "past last call". Despite my friends being inside and being polite they would not let me in. Hardly seems worth it anyway, the music didn't sound very good from what I could hear. People walking out disappointed. Would not recommend.

This place is great! Bartenders are awesome and I am the type of person who hates to beg for an overpriced drink at the bar. All of the bartenders were so helpful and attentive. The food is good and reasonably priced which is hard to find in this area. We have been here several times and we have never been disappointed. If you are looking for a good place to celebrate birthdays or anything check them out!

A handful of work friends decided to celebrate 20 years of working together. We had heard of Bobby McKey's Dueling Piano Bar and thought it might be a great place to be rowdy and a bit boisterous as we celebrated. Well, that's exactly what happened! Bobby McKey's is a really neat bar, in that you get to interact with the live talent. (I always leave the dead talents alone.) We had a great time requesting music and trying to stump the musicians. No matter how hard we tried, they were able to play every suggestion we tossed at them. They were interactive with us, and we all had a great time. They are a full bar, and have a cool selection of cocktails unique to them. And their food and snacks were spot on! If you're looking for a place with the atmosphere of a Super Bowl party, then look no farther. This place rocks! #todaysdiscovery #traviswinmanauthor

Love this spot. The 4 artist they had on the keys and drums did an amazing job. They played everything you could think of. Who knew Cardi B "Up" lol would sound good on Piano. I requested everything from Nickleback to Current tracks just to test their skills. A must see show. The drinks and food service was A+. I suggest you purchase tickets online so you get great seating on the floor.

Really fun venue! I went for a corporate event and the pianists were really good. They can play anything you want! The layout can get pretty congested, service is fine and the food was average. I'd recommend just going for drinks and a show.

Holiday buffet was amazing. Such great pianists and a wonderful time. Every seat is a good seat and the atmosphere was so chill. Great mom's morning out.

I had an absolute blast. I visited this establishment on the recommendation of someone else. It was one of coldest night of the year but I thought why not. I'm glad I did. It was standing room only but I found a nice place at the bar and enjoyed the two pianist, then four pianist,then three pianist and a guitar,give a spectacular show. They did their own versions of classic rock, pop, r&b and Christmas tunes. Even the bar food ( chicken wings) was honestly the best bar wings I've tasted. I will most definitely be back!!!

This was my fourth visit over a few years and I have given good reviews in the past but it's time to call out some terrible things about the place. We just went as a group and sat in the rail seats with the bar right behind us. I explained to my first-timer friends how to write their song on a napkin, bring it to the front with cash and wait for them to play! We brought SIX napkins with mainstream artists (elton John, Cher, etc) and about $25 cash to the piano. After 3 hours they had played ONE of our songs. I was embarrassed! The performers seemed focused on the tips they were receiving from Dallas Cowboy fans with the writing on the mirrors. The performers even complained about the songs they were playing (Sopranos theme song, etc) instead of our better songs. Don't reserve the rail seats unless you can handle a cheap bar stool with no back for a few hours. So uncomfortable! If you plan on trying to get drinks at the bar, I wish you luck. Half the bar was closed and the other half was busy and slow. This was a Friday night so open up the bar!

Our Christmas party was here this year. So much fun! The Guys was so talented playing the music. Truly a wonderful experience and planning on going again to the brunch!

This review is for a private corporate event. I went in with tempered expectations, but had a blast. The spread of food had good variety and the quality was better than expected for bar fare. Standouts were crabcake bites and roast beef sliders with horseradish cream sauce. The cocktails were tasty and not watered down. All of the servers, bartenders and door staff were friendly and welcoming. The dueling piano show was incredibly fun and interactive. Certainly surpassed expectations. I will say it was loud to the point of struggling to have conversation, but that's not really the point of this kind of place so keep in mind it's not the place to go if you plan on having any prolonged discussion over a meal/drinks. I don't know how my experience compares to a normal night at this place, but I'm seriously considering going back with a small group to check it out. I would absolutely go back for another private event. I can easily say it's the most fun I've ever had at a corporate event.

I don't know what more I can say that others have not so I will mention some tips I'll follow if I ever visit again. 1) The line outside looks intimidating but it moves quickly. 2) Bring cash if you want them to play a song of your choice. 3) Request songs at the start of the night otherwise your requests will get lost and itll take more than a $10 to get their attention 4) Take advantage of the mirrors! You can request shoutouts on both of them, we used one to get a shoutout for our bride (went there for a bachelorette party)

This was my first time going to a dueling piano bar in the DMV area! I had so much fun and would greatly recommend people to come out to enjoy the music and drinks. Not only were there dueling pianos, but the musicians also threw in some drums and guitars. The more alcohol you get in you, the louder the music gets, and it's a blast! And the higher you tip, the more likely they'll play the song that you request! Personally, I think that the drinks and the bar food was a little on the pricy side, so I'd recommend eating a meal beforehand if you're trying to save some money. I enjoyed the Jello shots! They were $7 bucks each, but were something fun to take pictures with. Ticket-wise, it's probably best to order your tickets ahead of time so that you can reserve a spot to sit and chill especially if you have a large group of friends joining in. Tickets were $35 per person. Tip: If you have tickets, you still need to wait in line before they can sit you. Often times, people who have tickets or "reservations" think that they can just walk up to the front of the line and be seated immediately. Surely enough, everyone in that line has a reservation and needs to wait their turn to be seated. I'll definitely be back!

Me and my boyfriend went here last night and what a night it was. First off let me say the staff here is friendly and attentive. The issue I have with this place is the set up and its patrons. We went here because I wanted to see if I wanted to pay full price for seats. When we got in - because we didn't have a reservation - we were told to stand in the bar area. Ok cool. We went to the bar area,which consists of a bar on the left and seating on the right. We went and got a drink from the bar and then proceeded to stand near the seating on the right. Now keep in mind we did not sit in the seats nor put our drinks on the table in front of them. During this time the party that had the reservations for that section was mostly there. And THEY NEVER TOLD US TO MOVE *please keep that in mind* A little before 8p when the dueling pianos started this women walked up to me and my boyfriend and stated 'Yall need to move because we have this whole section'. Now I looked at her and told her number one we are standing where we were told to stand in the bar area. She proceeded to tell me repeatedly that we needed to move. I told her no and we were leaving in a minute anyway. She then ran to go get security. Security came we explained that we were leaving in a minute and that there were no signs where we were standing to tell us not to stand there. So we literally took a couple of steps back. And the young lady came back and sat next to us. At this point I felt like she wanted to cause an issue. So I turned around to my boyfriend and was in the middle of saying let's leave -- WHEN THIS WOMEN STOOD UP AND PROCEEDED TO PUSH HER BODY INTO MINE AND SAY EXCUSE ME - I told her stop touching me repeatedly and she keep pushing me. I told around and was about to cuss her out when she threw her hands up and said 'IM PREGNANT' *then why would you touch a complete stranger* When I say me and my boyfriend were confused and digusted at this point. Needless to say security ran up to US and escorted us near the door. And NOTHING was said to her. I will say this again we were not bothering anyone and none of the rest of her party said anything to us. So why did she have an issue?? I will give you one guess.

Fun atmosphere Amazing musicians Danny is just incredible! The food is pretty good but it takes a while to get so dont make it your main meal. Make sure you have cash for musical requests. Make reservations - it gets really crowded and really busy! The more friends you take, the more fun it is!

This place was super fun! Tickets were reasonable and it wasn't super packed which was nice! The musicians were awesome!! We sat up on the mezzanine level. I will say the chairs are not the most comfortable but that's ok. The food was pretty food! We got the cheesy fries which were loaded. The drinks were a little weak I thought but tasty!

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME & EUIN YOUR NIGHT GOING TO THIS PLACE!!! If I could write a review with zero or negative stars, I would. You can't take bottle of water inside, they prefer you drink nasty tap water. Door chicks can't listen, read or spell to find your name on reservation. They are rude & incompetent. You pay to stand & not get a table. The door chicks promise table & take money from the different parties asking for a table. No service from anyone.

Yelp
Great time. We hit a night they were understaffed but we had a corporate event and had a party of 30+. Service was still good but bar-back Stephen really stepped up into server role - he admittedly wasn't sure what to do but did an amazing job keeping a large crowd happy.

Kevin G.

Don't leave your stuff unattended here at all, whether you go use the bathroom or leave it behind at a table. The staff here will steal your stuff and security will do nothing about it. Worse place ever. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Food is ok. Service is amazing. Requesting songs is terrible. They didn't play any of the songs we requested when there was maybe one other couple there and a family.

National Harbor is a HIKE since there's no way to get there by metro or bus. I ended up having to Uber, which can be pretty expensive if you're not sharing the ride with others. Regardless of how you get there, I had a fantastic time with my friends. We rented out the private booth for a friend's birthday and truly enjoyed the evening together. The staff were a little slow at checking on us, but we got a variety of appetizers like fries and chicken wings, as well as drinks, while the show was going on. I always love a good dueling piano bar, and haven't found one in DC that I can rave about so this is my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting the area. The pianists were very talented and took almost all requests. Make sure you tip or they'll slide your request down! They were nice enough to let our friend who was celebrating their birthday come up on stage and sing while they played a song he requested. It was the highlight of his night. The facility is really clean and cute. I like the tables in front of the stage, but wish there was room to dance around a bit. We requested a song by Abba (and tipped) but it took them quite a while to play the request. It turned out that the pianist couldn't play the song, BUT he pivoted and played another one by then instead and then ALSO included a few bars of the requested song to make up for it. All we had to do was go to the stage when he wasn't playing and ask. After the show, I realized I left my headphones case. I called in the morning and was connected with the general manager, who promptly got back to me to let me know they had them. They offered to ship the case to me if I couldn't pick them up. The general manager, Warren, was extremely nice to me when I arrived to pick them up and we even chatted for a few minutes. It's nice that management was able to take time to just talk to a customer, rather than giving me my lost item and sending me on my way. Extremely grateful for them and the experience. I hope to return again sometime soon with some new friends!

The music at this dueling piano bar was absolutely great. Our group had a fun evening singing a wide variety of music. To note: song requests are based on tips, the higher the tip the sooner your sing will be played / guaranteed your song is played. They try to get though all of the requests they can, but realize if you tip a lower dollar amount the requested song keeps getting pushed down to the bottom of the list. The evening we went multiple people were tipping $100+ for songs. Food was sub-par I would eat at home or another location prior. Drinks were just okay but highly priced. I ordered a hurricane and blackberry lemonade which were both very sweet but hardly contained alcohol. Beer on tap was watered down and hot, we had to put ice in it. They have a full bar, Jell-O shots, beer towers you name it. I would stick to bottled beer next time. Overall great experience with the music provided but food/drinks could be better. Would recommend coming for the entertainment though!

I definitely agree with previous reviews that this is a lot of fun overall. I cannot give it a higher rating because the food options are very limited (and did not seem appetizing) and it is expensive and I do not understand why. If you make reservations online you are charged a fee based on the size of your group. I made reservations for Saturday night in the mezzanine for $70. At the show, my boyfriend and I had 2 drinks each and 1 shot of Hennessey for about $85. Gratuity was automatically included. I did enjoy the show and thought the pianist were very talented. They kept the crowd engaged while still following covid precautions. We arrived at 830p and did not have to wait online. Temperature checks and IDs were scanned at the door. Not sure if I would return but I did enjoy my evening.

Great for groups or date night. Multiple parking garages and street parking available. It's an interactive show and very close seating. You can request songs but tipping with your request makes it more likely it will get played. The food was very basic as well as the drinks. But pianists were very lively. The music needed more soul depending on the genre being played but overall singing along was fun.

Booked a 2 person table for Friday night. Our temperatures were checked at the door and showed host my confirmation. Directed to the reserved high top table. Talented pianists, engaging show, laughs throughout the night. Well spaced tables. Felt safe and comfortable. Venue was not as dark as the first time I went (well before COVID). Show ended around 10:30 pm. + fun venue for date night or celebrating birthday/anniversary

We went with a large group tonight and had so much fun. The food was good and the entertainment was excellent. These ladies from South Dakota had a blast! Hope to visit in the future.

Had a fantastic time with our group of 22. Reservation process was very smooth. Lunette was helpful. The pianists/singers were amazing. Angela rocked the d Dr Dre rap. Little pricey but memories were priceless!

I was in town in September 2022 for a retreat for moms who have kids with Down syndrome. This was our event for the final night. We were allowed to come in early and walk the red carpet for a photo for the DSDN which was very fun. The appetizers were gone pretty quickly and my lack of food probably contributed to me having to go home early and feeling pretty bad. In spite of that, I had a great time. THe music was great and it was so fun taking up money to write messages on the boards behind the pianists. The large tube drinks are delicious but VERY dangerous! I've never loved piano bars and thought for sure I would be leaving early that night to go to the casino. That didn't happen because I had such a great time!
