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!

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!

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!

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

So much fun. If you want a seat, make a reservation in advance.

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.

Trashy atmosphere and bad beer list.

"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

Over priced food $9 for 4 mozzarella sticks $9 Sangria filled to the top with ice no seasonal fruit just a couple lemons. Piano guys are funny but service is just ok! Without the piano Guys = close

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.
Carrie RossApril 14, 2013
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.

This place is great. Great musicians.

Make reservations for Friday/Saturday nights. It's packed but always a blast.
Mike JohnstonApril 7, 2012
Great atmosphere expensive prices... On top of having to pay for parking
Rachel RubensteinJune 23, 2015

Music can get really loud...

If you don't like sexist or homophobic jokes, this place is not for you!

Great vibe. Check your shyness at the door and warm up your singing pipes.

Is NOT Pat O's

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.
Michele RichardsSeptember 21, 2013
So. Much. Fun.
Stephanie UpdegraffDecember 28, 2012
Not busy. Place is severely under staffed. Waited over 30mins to get an appetizer. Drinks are expensive as hell. But the musicians are good.

My tab is scaring me!

Bring cash! They won't sing your song unless you show them the money.
Matthew DybwadMarch 28, 2010
Get a reservation, otherwise, you stand, no matter what.
KP M.January 9, 2011
Drinks are expensive as hell. Make sure to pregame or prepare to run a nasty tab!

Avoid bringing your dignity and soul, because you will lose it here.

Great piano bar
Josh R.July 8, 2012
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.
Aaron ShareMarch 5, 2011
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.
Juan NavarroFebruary 3, 2019
Buena opción para tomar un trago en una buena zona de Washington. Lleguen después de las 8:30pm, antes está muerto.
