Let me start by saying this: Darwin Piano Bar isn't just another bar in Austin. It's an experience. Tucked away (hint: that's part of the charm!), this gem offers an unforgettable night fueled by incredible music and an intimate atmosphere.The star of the show, without a doubt, is the live band. These talented musicians aren't your average piano bar players. They possess an almost supernatural ability to play any song you request. No, seriously. From classic crooners to obscure indie hits, they tackle it all with impressive skill and enthusiasm. It's like having your own personal jukebox come to life!This interactive element makes Darwin Piano Bar unlike any other venue I've been to. The crowd becomes a chorus, singing along to everything from childhood favorites to forgotten gems. It fosters a genuine sense of community and shared joy that's truly infectious.But the magic doesn't stop with the music. The bartenders are friendly and attentive, crafting delicious cocktails that perfectly complement the ambiance. The low lighting and plush seating create a sophisticated yet inviting space, ideal for catching up with friends or enjoying a romantic date night.Whether you're a local Austinite or just visiting, Darwin Piano Bar is a must-do. It's the perfect place to unwind, unleash your inner rockstar (through enthusiastic singalongs, of course), and experience the true spirit of Austin's vibrant music scene.In short, Darwin Piano Bar gets a resounding 5 stars from me. Don't miss out on this hidden gem!

The only reason Im giving this place a 2 is because the bartender we had did try to accommodate me because I requested a skinny margarita. They did not have agave, nor vanilla vodka, nor some others. He was nice though and made a pretty good version of a skinny marg. However, another older bartender was NOT NICE. He insisted I switch barstools bc mine had a back on it without explaining I was in the "well area ". Mind you there were 5 ppl in the bar at this time. The super nice bouncer explained it to me!! Im sure this review wont effect them as they are on 6th street.

Visited this piano bar with 2 friends on my second night in Austin. It was fairly quiet at the start of the night but the entertainers were very friendly and happy to play any requests for 2-5$ each. The staff were a bit rude to my friend who didn't speak good english and kept telling him 'listen to me now' in a condescending tone. Not everyone who looks like a native speaker of Englisn can actually speak/comprehend it well. Especially for a place in a tourist area where you'd encounter foreigners. No cover charge at opening time which is good. Drinks are affordable, not the cheapest though.
