D's Keys Dueling Pianos & Sing Along Bar

My friends and I just came here on Saturday night for a birthday and we had an amazing time. Our waitress was awesome!! And the musicians were incredible and knew exactly how to engage the crowd. They were able to perfectly accommodate our large party, and drink prices were very cheap compared to other places in Boston. My friends and I were all saying how we can’t wait come back!!

Lots of fun with friends! The musicians really know how to put on an amazing show, and I was laughing and clapping and singing waaaaay too many times. A must-go! Fair warning - Bring cash (singles, fives, tens, and twenties). You need it when requesting songs, and the musicians will prioritize song requests with higher cash amounts. You can also write your own message on the mirror behind the band by paying cash.

It’s pretty easy to get in on a Friday night. Cover is only $10. Drinks are reasonably priced. The mystery beer in a bag is fun. I liked the pianos and vibes but found the singing to overpower the piano playing.

No rating on the food since I never knew they even served anything besides alcohol. But a fantastic place to go as a group , the musicians are great they can sing and play other instruments besides the piano . The staff was friendly and doing a good job once in a while you had to chase them down but the place was packed so I understand you can't be everywhere at once. Definitely would go back again when I'm in Boston.

Wow, what can I say? Even on a Sunday night, it was such a great time. Musicians were top-notch, the staff was super friendly, and the vibe was spot on! If you're ever in Boston D's Keys, it is a must go for an interactive and fun experience. Would give 10 stars if I could!!

One of our favorite places to go out in Boston—they serve hot dogs if you’re ever in need!! Drinks are great, staff is amazing, and the music is always incredible.

I visited Boston for New Years weekend and spent the NYE at D's Keys. I had an incredible time. It felt like I was spending the evening with several hundred of my close friends. It was very inclusive and friendly from making the reservation, to entering the venue, to departing at the end of the evening. The musicians were incredible by playing so many requests and being very animated. I can't believe they knew so many tunes. Any time I am in Boston I will definitely plan an evening here. I started 2023 off right with D's Keys and look to return very soon. Locals should make this a prime date night or a boys or girls night activity. Thanks Matt and team!

Celebrated my 30th birthday this past Saturday at D's Keys. Had a great time with ~20 friends and they gave us the perfect seats (front of the house, but on the side where we could get up a little bit and dance a little bit and I could move around and talk to the different people in the group). That was perfect for us! The only reason I gave 4 starts instead of 5 was for the table service. The waitress couldn't keep up with all the tables she had. We waited an unreasonable time to get drinks from her and then when we got tired of that, some of our party would go to the bar instead to grab a drink. When we did that, the waitress actually came up to us at the bar and asked us to order from her. That felt awkward. We honestly would have ordered from her if it wasn't so slow. Other than the slow drink service in the beginning of the night at the tables, we had a great time and all the performers and other folks that worked there made my birthday amazing!

Music. Fun. Great music with requests and sing along. Drinks ok. Dueling pianos, talented musicians.

This place is amazing! Our service was great, staff is amazing. It's a free coat/bag check. Drinks were strong/great. One down side is that they don't have food, but you can get food delivered there! We ordered from food places right down the street and they deliver it right to the door. They have cards at the table where you can request songs for the piano men to play, you can pray a friend or embarrass them by having then "spin the wheel". It's a great place with a great atmosphere!!! So fun!!

Such a lame spot. Go to Howl at the moon if you want to dance and actually have a good time. Not sure what these other reviews are taking about, the bouncers are so aggressive and the performers are rude and not talented. Don't waste your time or money:

I came here with a group of friends last Saturday night and was thoroughly impressed with the performances, service, and drinks! It is a bit pricey, but it is Boston! The more you tip to get your song requests/roasts, the sooner they will play them. Spin the Wheel was fun, too! Will be fun to bring family and friends who are visiting!

Great bar with awesome service. The wife and I came to check this place out as it was under the hotel we stayed at. Very convenient location! The musicians started out very good but kinda fizzled as they requested songs but only played a certain type of music so it seemed like they lacked range and some ballads (that any performer should know well) was ehhhh. Maybe it was an off night. I would def suggest coming because the place has a ton of potential and the staff are awesome individuals. They just outshined the performers on this night!

This place is such a blast! Expected it to be like howl at the moon, but it is more of an experience. People can put in song requests, pay to put messages on the wall, and spin the wheel of dares. It's super fun and interactive and the musicians on stage get the audience involved. The drinks were also great but kind of expensive. There is table service and a bar in the back.

Came in with no expectations and had a blast. Was very surprised when instruments and musicians kept getting added. Each was very talented.

Best birthday venue ever!! Went here for my 24th birthday with 10 friends and it was a blast. The drink menu was fun with a bunch of cocktails and shots. The staff was very nice and kept checking in with us during the show. The performers were so talented and engaging with the audience. We even played games! The room was huge and music wasn't too loud or quiet.

Great musicians/singers in a really fun place. The people who work there are also really nice. However, they find some very interesting ways to take your money, including charging a lot to embarrass someone in your party by body shaming men and having women perform sexually degrading activities. If they stuck with the music and dropped the embarrassment, they'd deserve 5 stars.

Honestly one of the best spots in Boston. the musicians are phenomenal, the drinks are fairly priced (for Boston ) and the service is amazing. You won't regret going!

It was good! Drinks were eh but if you're looking for something fun to do it's worth visiting. Pregame it then go

Kindof like a travelling circus, great attractions (fairly talented piano players) run by business owners who don't care about their customers and offer plenty of dumb overpriced gimmicks to take advantage of large groups celebrating milestone events, e.g. $60 to write a message on a whiteboard which gets erased 5 mins later. Overcrowded venue with overbooked tables and rude owner (the guy with glasses) and bouncer (the guy with the beard and hat) happy to explain why it's your problem that they only have a 12 person table for your 13 person reservation. One star.

The beer is fine, the service is always very fun and friendly, and the ambiance is the very best in Boston. If you don't have fun at D's keys, I'll assume you're some kind of communist.

We love bringing out of town visitors to D's Keys. They have a great atmosphere and accommodate large groups with some advanced notice. The musicians are all very talented and engaging. Note that it's cash only for cover / tips, and some of the content is PG-13.

They don't serve food but the drinks are okay. Staff can be very helpful or very rude and inattentive, depends who you get. Atmosphere is okay. Super loud.

Great place to go with a group! The staff are amazing and put on a great show. Our server was fantastic and so funny. A perfect complement to this establishment. Had a blast laughing and singing all night! Dueling pianos and wall of shame or whatever you want it to be was so entertaining. You're coming to have drinks and fun so eat before you come they don't serve food although heard you can bring food in.

Not what we expected at all. Large group there to celebrate a coworkers new job after almost 40 years as a dedicated nurse. Instead of having some laughs with a requested song, she was humiliated with a raunchy profane version of "Runaround Sue" with sophomoric oral sex jokes and innuendo. Not funny, cringe worthy behavior on the part of the piano player. As night went on realized all the "humor" is basically embarrassing patrons with lame jokes about small penises, blow jobs and premature ejactulation. Nothing original here, like a modern day retread of Porky's. With some real work and talent this place could be a blast but hackneyed, passe tropes from the 80's are just pathetic . Hum...#metood'skeys?

I love a corny and sing-song night out. I was so sad this placed was closed for so long during the pandemic but was so happy when they actually reopened. It was surprisingly all the same performers/ artists that were there before the pandemic and I am so glad they are all back. They all have an insane amount of talent to not only play continuous music, but to switch instruments and play new music on the spot. This place is great with a large group of friends and it is easy to reserve a table. They only have drinks- no food, but the drinks are large and well priced. They have variety of shots for $7 a piece. I really can't say enough about this place and no matter what night you go on it's a great time.

Had so much fun at this place music was great, fun atmosphere! The bouncer was on a weird power trip yelling at literally everyone in line. The guy at the front desk was super rude he jumped down me and my friends throat demanding money for our friends that didn't show (we were aware we had to pay for them) but he barked at us over it before we had a chance. It was jarring start to the night if our card wasn't on file for a deposit we would have walked out the second we got there.

Absolutely abysmal in every possible way. A show is something that you watch, these people make YOU the "show". Lazy. No talent. Wish I had that gig though what do these people do for a living really? Sophomoric entertainment for idiots

I reserved a table for 16 in advance to celebrate my best friend's 27th Birthday! Robert, the managing partner reserved a table for us by the piano. It was an enjoyable night out with some adult jokes and commentary. The pianist played my selection of "A Thousand Miles" so I happily lived out my White Chicks dream. P.s. Ladies the lighting is far too dim to take selfies or pictures without blinding someone with the iPhone camera flash. We were bummed! hah

This bar has such a fun vibe and the kindest staff! We had so much fun singing along and the performers keep the show interactive and lively. The head of security, Keith, was extremely friendly and welcoming from the moment we stepped in. The staff on the floor also made sure to check on us throughout the night and the bartender, Marissa, made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this bar for a fun night with a group of friends. Thank you, we will be back!

D's Keys is a must visit when in Boston. Fantastic performers, great drink menu and overall fun atmosphere. When you go ask for Linda! She makes each experience fun and entertaining. She certainly keeps us coming back week after week.

Best night out in Boston. They are all tremendous musicians and showmen Kanye is right Dress up or dress down Beers are the right price Drinks are watered down Table service is good Bring $1s - lots of $1s

This is the best bar in Boston. Every time we visit, D's keys is a must for all of my family and friends now. It's the perfect way to start or end a night out! The drink prices are great, and the atmosphere is amazing! You won't find more talented, hilarious musicians and performers anywhere. There's something for everyone--check this place out next time you're in town.

This dueling piano bar provided a fun night out on a Saturday. The atmosphere wasn't the best compared to other dueling piano bars I've been to, but the drinks were good and service was fine. Two of the singers were great and two were average. If you pay for it, there's options to put your friends up on stage. Song selection was good, but maybe a few too many old songs. I would go back for another night.

I was looking for something different and fun to do on a wednesday night in Boston but am from out of town so I asked a co worker friend who recommended D's Keys. D's Keys is a piano bar where two musicians will play covers to songs they choose OR which are requested if the price is right and they know the tune. Wednesday night was great for having a small crowd where basically everyone got to hear whatever they requested for a reasonable price. This is because you pay more and more every time you either request a song or want a saying put on the big mirror next to the performers. I understand that Saturdays are a different energy and price point because the crowds are much larger. So go when you want one or the other. The alcohol was a little pricey at around $11 each but they did not water it down. In fact I may have misjudged and could have done with about one less drink than I had! The thing I had not realized which I recommend you be aware of going in is that the only food they serve are hot dogs. They are good hot dogs. But they are... well hot dogs. I've heard you can work with them to grub hub or bring food in but I don't know the details about that so I would just recommend either asking ahead of time or eating before/after you go. Show started around 8-9 and went until around 12-1. The performers were professionals. They played well, cracked jokes, and took most requests regardless of the size of the crowd. If you are looking for a fun, different thing to do with friends, a date, or even just solo like I was, check this place out. Heck, maybe this would be a fun way to propose to someone special. Just pay to have them write it on the mirror and then play a favorite song. I'm sure that's happened there before.

Such a fun night!!! Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for something different to do around the Boston area. A bit of a comedy club mix/ music club. Love it so much - absolutely will be back!

Hours are false, got kicked out at 12:40, on a 2AM night "according to the website". Last call happened and we had less than 10 minute to drink it. Good luck dealing with their steroid filled bouncers. Piano players/band were incredible but the experience was awful. -10/5

Do not recommend worst bar in Boston. Will steal your money at the piano and ignore you regardless of how much you pay

Last minute decision to go here with some friends. We had a great time. I'm 50 and have been to piano bars in my 20's. Things have changed and these performers have so much talent. Service was professional and quick and the staff works really hard to keep everyone safe and having fun. Don't listen to the bad reviews, those people sound like they have nothing better to do then complain. Go here! It's a great time!

Amazing! Been a few times, so much fun, talented musicians, great vibe. Drinks are strong and they serve hot dogs which I think is so funny (but they'll let you order in food from anywhere you want). Always a memorable night out.

Would not allow people in except in back entrance if you knew someone and were just rude

There are times when you go somewhere that is so good you feel an obligation to do a review. Such was the time my wife and I had at D's Keys. We were in Boston for a couple of days and wanted to go somewhere after a nice dinner for some music entertainment. I saw the reviews on Yelp for D's Keys and thought that even though it was a new place the reviews looked like going there would be a good time. We got there right at the start of the show at 8pm and stayed until 12pm. Enjoyed four hours of non stop music entertainment by some really talented musicians playing requested songs from the patrons. The drinks were good. I highly recommend D's Keys if you like music and want to have a really good time.

Great place. Music selection is for everyone. From country to classic rock to pop. Everyone has a wonderful time. Drinks are reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back,

Relaxing here at D's Keys was a simple affair. First, you make a reservation, which I still had even though I was 30 mins late. TYSM!! There's no food menu, just unlimited snacks near the bar table. Drinks here are fairly cheap and get the job done while enjoying the music. You fill out a song request form and a small donation. (The higher the value, the faster it will be played, or played at all) Please be fair, don't put $1 for a long song. Also, there's a chance that they don't know the song at all. All in all, this is definitely a better spot to be to hang out with friends and relax!!

Ds keys has all the bops old and new. Well, mostly old but they were great reminding me that us fun late 20s and 30s can still have a great time! My friends and I got there without a reservation but a nice security guard brought us to a table at the front!!!! Gasp!!! Once a table opened up for us! Amazing vibes, and amazing people. Very kind wait staff too. 11/10.

So cool to have a dueling piano bar in Boston with great pianist and vocals. There are not many people here (early) but the atmosphere is fun! I love that they will play anything you want to hear (even baby got back) and the classics, the expected, the staples are rolling in between. Definitely a great spot for a Friday- no occasion or special occasion, this is the perfect place.

This bar is awesome. It combines live music with a great atmosphere for going out with friends. It is more of a show than actually going out to a bar. Who doesn't love live music out while drinking.

I will never go back to this bar. I came on a Saturday night and enjoyed some good music. That was all I was able to enjoy. They called last call at 12:35am when the closing time was 2am. Okay, sure. We ordered another round at that time and had not even 5 minutes to finish. We were ushered to the door by the bouncer. When we requested to be given a minute or two to finish our drinks that we had just ordered, we were greeted with threats of being "f***ed up" by the bouncer. I retreated outside only to be told by another employee to "steer clear of that guy" because he "gets insane sometimes." Horrible experience here. Not sure how they stay in business with the psychos they have working for them.

An amazing place and the musicians are ROCKSTARS! Do not sleep on this place. Drinks, drinks, and some serious fun. ​

Real dueling piano bar! Fun spot - talented musicians! Silly to raunchy humor. Can't believe how many songs they know. Bar staff was cool and the place is clean and nice. Always have a great time! Bring some cash to request songs or get somebody on stage for a roast. If you want a chiller show and cheaper song requests go on a Wednesday or Sunday. On the weekends it's much more lively but more competition to get your song played fast. I like both - they're a fun time in different ways.

I was in town for a convention and D's Keys is right across from the convention center. We went Thurs, Fri, and Sat nights. We had a total blast! We kept bringing more people each night. The musicians are very talented and entertaining. They can play pretty much anything you request. I would highly recommended coming here. It is a great place for groups, birthdays, bachelorette parties, work events, etc. The drinks are all really good and reasonably priced.

I don't know why this place has 3.5 stars it's soooo fun!!! Been here twice and both times it's been a blast. They have very limited food only hot dogs and bar snacks but you can order food from anywhere and get it delivered there and eat!! Which is wonderful! Beers are really reasonable and cocktails too. But the best part of going there is the performers. They have a band and two pianists who are very talented. They keep the crowd laughing! I've been in a big group of friends as well with my husband and parents- who didn't get scandalized by the adult humor but laughed merrily and enjoyed the night. I reserved a table online before hand and the performances start at around 8. You can make requests for your favorite songs too and embarrass a friend with their spinning wheel!

This was a great place we hit for my sister's birthday. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you are going with a big group because we ended up with a great table and a waitress the whole night. Fun place to listen to live music and they take requests all night, which is fun!

Do not waste your time or money. Staff is incredibly rude. Drinks are overpriced. When I gave feedback to piano player (who claimed he was part-owner), he immediately lost his temper and said they didn't need or want my business and then he stormed off. He's definitely unhinged...and not that entertaining.

Trust me, just go here. This place is a definite must if you love a good time and lots of laughs with friends. I didn't mind the no frills decor because the true gem of this place is the people that get up on stage and perform there nightly. They are hysterical! If you've never been to a dueling piano bar I'll give you a quick briefing- two people on opposite pianos sing requested songs while adding in hysterical jokes and interacting with the audience. The audience can request any and all songs and the more money you include with the request the more likely it will get choosen/the funnier they will make it. Of course you don't have to spend money at all but if you came to hear a specific song you better whip out a few dollars. There is also a band that joins in every once in awhile which is fantastic. Whether you come with a date or a whole group of people you cant go wrong! Drinks are also reasonably priced so you really cant go wrong.

Definitely recommend this place, the performers are very talented. They added guitars to the song I requested which was awesome. I love the table setup since I don't enjoy being pushed around on the overcrowded sticky floors at Howl at the Moon. It's also free to make a reservation for a table online. The drinks are strong and have hilarious names. Cover depends on the day of the week.

Awesome and unique place. Great service and the drinks are really reasonably priced. The music is crazy good. Like holy crap, how can someone know so many different songs by memory?! Truly incredible. I know some people talked about the dancing thing and honestly, we were there about a week ago and people were allowed to dance no problem as long as it was off to the side of the stage so it didn't block anyone's view of the stage. Bouncers were super nice and helpful. The performers were all very kind and funny. It's like a comedy show and concert all rolled into one! Definitely a one-of-a-kind place in Boston. Don't miss it!
