      Went here for a friends birthday for dueling pianos. The acoustics were terrible which made it hard to hear said pianos and singing.

      The food was diner quality and nothing special.

      I really enjoyed coming here for their dueling pianos show last night! They take requests and played everything from Taylor Swift to Broadway to all the best throwbacks! It is a dive bar vibe and they were charging a $10 cover last night.

      The drinks were a little weak for the price, but they do a late night happy hour (I think starting at midnight?!) that is $6 for the full bar- cash only and $1 wings. Definitely a steal on a Saturday night!

      Everyone there was singing along and having a great time. Service at the bar was super quick! We ended up standing because the tables are all reserved, so wear comfy shoes! I would definitely come back here. It's a fun spot if you love live music and would be super fun for a birthday celebration!

      On Tuesday we went to this bar because we were looking for dueling pianos. Unfortunately they don't have it on Tuesdays. They had an open mic with a broadway theme. That was ok. It wasn't busy so we were able to get a song in. The piano player Colin and host Faith were pretty cool.

      We returned on aThursday. There were a lot of people standing around so I was afraid we couldn't get a seat. We were lucky that there were seats available. There were a lot of people in the back that were just standing there to drink. It seems that they don't know how to have fun. Musicians were awesome. They played all my requests.

      The place is pretty small. The bathroom is downstairs and is a mess. I suggest to go to the bathroom before you go there. It's a bar bathroom, what can I say.

      The fun is worth the experience. They state to be the original dueling piano bar. So that's cool

      Would be a cooler space if they could rearrange the tables a little better. My husband was sitting in someone's lap at a table they charge $30 a person for before drink minimums. On top of that, it was about 1000 degrees in there. The bathroom door also didn't lock. I like the idea of it though and the waitress was nice.

      The music was really good, so 1 star for that!

      One of the waitresses was extremely extremely rude. I later read other reviews on Yelp. And the reviews are full of similar stories!

      First she refused to tell us the prices of the drinks. Then she suddenly said you have to buy a minimum of 3 drinks per person, otherwise please leave the bar and when we said we weren't told that when we were seated, she started shouting. She said it's written on the menu. When we asked her to show where it's written it wasn't there and she said, "I don't know, it's written somewhere". Then she asked us to leave without giving us a receipt or check. When I asked for it, she added mandatory 50%!!! gratuity and said it's written everywhere on the walls. Obviously it wasn't written and obviously no one forces 50% gratuity LOL. We paid up and were taking our jackets and all that time she just kept pointing at the door, saying "Please leave, please leave!". I am really not sure what happened to her; everything just happened out of nowhere. She clearly did not want to be there.

      Came here for a Dueling Pianos show a few months ago for a friend's birthday. Really fun experience that showcased the talents of the 2 pianists that performed that night. Their drinks list is also quite vast, and I personally opted for one of their specialty cocktails that was served to me in a pineapple. There is a cover charge for the show, and reservations are otherwise necessary. A fun and unique experience for theater and live music afficionados.

      I loved this bar!! It had live music and funny themed shots. The workers were very friendly and lively. Drinks were good! It does go to cash only towards the end of the night but they give you good drinks deals for it.

      What you would expect from an old typical bar in Manhattan. It was great that they had a stage with instruments and people were doing everything from karaoke to having a band to people getting up there and actually performing. Everything is reasonable and the people are friendlier than you think. fun place.
