    Most fun place at the harbor. Beer towers are the cheapest way to get drunk. The four best piano players are Neil, Drew, Ronnie, and Danny so go when they are playing!

    This place is flawless. Once you go, you'll be disappointed in every other bar in the area. Get to know the staff! So friendly and wonderful! Awesome music, food and drinks are great too!

    Great spot and it's obvious people love this place. I live in Georgetown and it was so easy to get here. No doubt I'll be back soon!

    nice retreat when Public House and Cadillac Ranch gets too rowdy. Good crowd and more laid back.

    Friday and Saturday there is a $5 cover. The bar is lively but drinks are pricey. The food is just ok. So go for the good music and fun if you go at all.

    "F*ck Kelly Clarkson Aint playing that sh*t" - pianists yells. Some songs are just annoying even when you pay 4 requests. hopefully your boring ass meeting isn't in town bc they cater to the crowd

    The service was not very great. Our server had to be chased down. Our drinks were empty. Big No No. The music was good.

    I would reserve a table, drinks are expensive service is okay, make sure you bring extra cash if you want any songs played.

    Drinks are extremely overpriced. Food isn't that great. And it's really hard to see the show from upstairs. Don't waste your time or money with this place.

    Plan to stand in line for a long time if you get there after 8:00 without paying the $15.00 VIP fee. Even if the place is empty, they will make you wait.

    Not busy. Place is severely under staffed. Waited over 30mins to get an appetizer. Drinks are expensive as hell. But the musicians are good.

    Not your traditional piano bar. They use electric drums, synthesizers (not real pianos), and an electric violin. Also, the establishment and their performers are not shy about being a money-suck.

    Spent $20 to hear Rush's TomSawyer and got to hear 20 seconds of it. $10/min of a song, expensive drinks, and having to wait 20 minutes to get in when it's no where near packed = this place sucks.

    Buena opción para tomar un trago en una buena zona de Washington. Lleguen después de las 8:30pm, antes está muerto.
