Nashville’s New Restaurant Openings - Nashville - The Infatuation

"You know what Broadway needs more of? Bars. Just kidding. We’d never say that. But Pete’s, which first opened in Texas back in 1992, comes with two baby grand pianos going head to head in The Big Bang’s old spot. The 10,000-square-foot venue also has a big video wall behind the pianos, a VIP area, and three bars serving 52-ounce schooners full of booze." - jackie gutierrez jones 2

Probably the best night of our 4 days in Nashville. We had such a good time at Pete's and can honestly say that this would be one reason we would give back to Nashville. The bartenders were super friendly and engaging. The artists/show was top notch! Incredibly talented crew, very funny, and appreciative of their audience. We stayed for the full 4 hours and would do it again in a heart beat! 100% must do in Nashville!

A NIGHT WE WILL REMEMBER FOREVER Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar in Nashville delivered an absolutely extraordinary experience for my friend’s 21st birthday. Even though we went on a Sunday night and the crowd was practically nonexistent, the atmosphere was nothing short of electric. It genuinely felt like we had our own private concert, with the musicians giving us their full energy, humor, and insane talent. My friend’s dad bought transfusions for us and the band (highly recommend—truly the most elite drink known to mankind), which made the night even more unforgettable. We danced, sang, laughed, and had the kind of joy-filled, ridiculous fun you can’t manufacture. The performers made us feel celebrated, welcomed, and hyped up the entire night. Their ability to read the room—well, our tiny “room”—and still put on a show worthy of a packed house was remarkable. Also, I can’t not mention this: the bathrooms? Immaculate. The lighting? Absolutely impeccable. Easily the best bathroom lighting in Nashville, which is an underrated but crucial factor when you’re out celebrating. I genuinely cannot articulate how phenomenal this place was. The vibes were immaculate, the staff and band were exceptional, and the entire evening felt surreal in the best possible way. I’m honestly sad the night ended—it was that magical. If you want an unforgettable, high-energy, wildly fun night: go to Pete’s. They gave us memories we will talk about forever.

Our group of friends had an amazing time here! The drinks were nice, but the piano players and the songs were the highlight of the night. We were impressed with the interaction that they got from the crowd.

What an absolute blast! I took my wife to Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar to see a performer we’d previously seen, and it did not disappoint. Payton is hands-down one of the best performers we’ve ever watched — his Toby Keith cover songs are unbelievable, and seeing how happy it made my wife was worth everything. He absolutely nailed it. The atmosphere at Pete’s is electric from start to finish. The crowd energy, the interaction, and the nonstop fun make it impossible not to have a great time. Drink prices are very fair for Nashville, especially considering the quality of entertainment you’re getting all night long. One of my favorite moments was when Payton noticed my resemblance to Guy Fieri and worked it into the show — it made me feel like part of the performance and had us laughing the rest of the night. That kind of crowd engagement is what sets this place apart. If you’re looking for an unforgettable night filled with great music, laughs, and top-tier talent, Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar is a must. We’ll definitely be back — especially anytime Payton is performing!

A fun experience where you can sit close to the stage. The musicians are very talented and interact with the crowd. Our server Stormy was great too.

We had a great time here. Only serve drinks (I didn't see any food) I would definitely go back! The security guy allowed my elderly mother to us the elevator so she didn't have to use the stairs. We appreciated that!

I hosted a private event here and had such a great experience. Meredyth helped with the planning and made the whole process a breeze. Our group had so much fun, the piano players were amazing, and the entire staff was so nice and accommodating. I also love Pete’s Piano Bar in general. I’ve been to the Dallas and Austin, TX locations, so I was excited to see one open in Nashville. It’s always such a fun time whether you’re on a date night or out with a group of friends. I highly recommend it, both for private events and a regular night out!

So much fun!!! Slow night and was still a blast thanks to this Uber-talented group of musicians! If they don't know it, they'll give it a shot anyway! Bring cash for requests (or Venmo!) Had a great time and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting or local!

We hosted a private corporate retreat event at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar, and it was truly the highlight of our trip to Nashville. From start to finish, Meredyth Müller, Partner and Event Coordinator, went above and beyond to make everything seamless and unforgettable. Meredyth came to the table with creative, on-brand ideas for our group, coordinated every detail flawlessly, and made planning from out of town easy. She assembled a trio of incredible musicians who kept our team singing, laughing, and dancing all night--hands down some of the best live entertainment you'll find in the city. She also worked hand-in-hand with the catering team, who delivered a delicious spread of Southern comfort food that our group of 50 absolutely loved. One of the most fun touches that night was a "build your own trucker hat" mini event during our cocktail hour, complete with a signature cocktail that fit our theme perfectly. The Dolly Parton impersonator and digital photo booth were the icing on the cake. If you're looking for a venue that delivers energy, creativity, and true Nashville fun, look no further than Pete's--and ask for Meredyth!

I attended a private event at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar and it was the most fun I had during my trip to Nashville. The musicians are so talented and hilarious. They play song requests from the audience who get to sing along. Everyone had a great time and stayed until the end of the night. I'd love to see a Pete's Dueling Bar open up in my hometown. The food is also delicious and the drinks are good - they were able to make one of the drinks non-alcoholic for me. Pete's is a great place to hold a private event.

We decided to try this place after walking past it several times. You can hear the pianos playing from the outside it and wanted to get a closer look. What a fantastic place. The performers were phenomenal and extremely friendly. They can do so much from playing the drums, the piano, and even the guitar. They are all so multi talented who definitely know how to work a crowd. The service staff was very friendly as well. Drinks are slightly expensive, but overall this place was great to visit. Definitely give them a try if you're looking for a different experience in Nashville.

It was a pretty cool spot to go to. I've gone to dueling piano bars before and other states. I will say all the people performing were very talented. Sadly, the place was very dead the day that I went. I think a lot of other people were just enjoying the Halloween weekend. I did order one of their cocktails, but it was very sugary to me. I drank it all, but ultimately told myself that I would probably just stick with beers if I would ever visit again.

What was that? Such an incredibly fun night! Massive energy and engagement. This bar is a fantastic addition to the greater Lower Broadway offerings.. albeit it is down the way on 2nd but it's an easy walk from the fray. Bring a big group and come ready to sing!

The day of, I was with a group of friends to catch up years missed but it was too loud. However, that's my problem...this place is exciting, talented pianists, and great set up. I would say that it's probably one of the best places you can just chill in town.

We stopped in on a Wednesday night after hearing someone talk about this place. It's a block off the main strip, but it's worth it, just look for the giant rubber duck out front. When we went in, there were about 20 people, so it was easy to request a song for a $5 tip, which I'm sure is more on weekends. The three musicians were great and knew 98% of the songs. Drinks weren't a bad price either. If we ever go back to Nashville, this will be one of the bars we stop at.

Place is super fun, came with 6 people and got a table up close, you can request just about anything! Good drinks, they let us bring in our own food, awesome staff! Definitely a must when you visit music city!

Genuinely fun vibes! The pianists had a great time playing with each other and with the involvement of the crowd. Such a laughter filled experience. So glad I stumbled upon this playful dynamic of a scene.

Went to the grand opening of Pete's last night and it was a blast! It was so fun singing along with the music and interactive with the performers! Highly recommend it! The service was great as well!

First off, we have been looking forward to our visit to Petes Dueling Piano Bar. It was all we expected. The music, the fun atmosphere and our server were all above 5 stars. Unfortunately, we made our reservations 2 months before for a party of 9 then later 10. I was disappointed that they placed at the side of the bar rather than up front. We were limited in our view of the stage and the musicians. I had hoped the would have put this who made reservations up front or at least a view of the center stage. Those who walked in were able to get those seats. I recommend when making a reservations advise you want a clear view of the musicians. Otherwise, we will be back!!

I went for opening night and had a blast! The musicians are so talented and engaging with the crowd. The drinks are amazing and the overall vibe is the best. Will definitely go back!

They just opened a week ago, but we had an incredible Saturday at Pete's--ended up spending five hours there! Lauren, our waitress, was absolutely amazing and made the experience even better. We even got giant flashing glow sticks, which added to the fun vibe. The atmosphere was lively and full of energy. I'll definitely be recommending Pete's to any family or friends heading to Nashville!
