Had a wonderful night at the Dueling Piano Bar upstairs. The entertainers were awesome. Out of this world. Kept the crowd hyped. The food was delicious. We will be going back.

Had a delicious dinner before heading upstairs for some sing along fun at the dueling piano bar. David and Denise were amazingly talented and we sang along for hours! Special thank you to Chris for keeping our take home boxes cold during the show so we didn’t have to run them back to the hotel in a rain storm!!

I’ve been to dozens of dueling piano bars. Nothing has come close to being worse than this place. As soon as we walked in, I noticed the set up of the venue was horrible… however, we gave it a chance because we love dueling pianos. Everything was downhill from that. The staff ill prepared and rude. The set up of the venue made it impossible to enjoy the music (which was actually good). Specifically the is a blondea haired (what I assume was a manager… but acted like a fire day waiter) yelling at patrons… for absolutely no good reason. Again… attend this venue on a Friday or Saturday and you’ll see.

The drinks were watered down and the waitress (probably more a function of management)… was horrendous. But… pay your $10 and walk in and find out for yourself. Really REALLY BAD. ?‍♂️

Other than the musicians, who were pretty good and enjoyable, everything else about this place is zero stars for me. The set up is HORRIBLE. Long narrow room with pianos all the way in one end. So about 20 people really get good interaction from the musicians, by the time you get to the back half of the room by the bar, you basically don’t even feel like your in a dueling piano bar…just a dumpy bar with loud music. Service was terrible, drinks were watered down, manager (blonde haired guy) is a waste of space completely. They don’t own enough stools for the amount of tables they try to cram in. Just a poorly managed establishment. Save your $10

This was a casual, laid-back place to grab bar food. It was giving divey vibes. Our server was excellent! Some of the best service I've ever had at a restaurant, so kuddos to him. The food was decent. The she crab soup was really good but the chicken bacon ranch wrap I got didn't really do it for me. I was expecting more chicken on it (it was all chopped up with the lettuce and tomato and onion).
