I first thought I would include this post with the 4th of July weekend update but y'all, this place deserves a post of its own. When my roommate first told me about this place, I admit I wasn't quite sure I understood. The convo went something like this:
"Do you want to go to a dueling piano bar?"
"I mean... sure? What.. is... it?" (thinking: Mozart)
"They play Ke$ha. On the piano."
(At this, I am sold.)
I am not kidding when I say this is the coolest place I've been since I got here! The way it's set up is there are two pianos facing each other on stage with a mirror behind them so that everyone can see all the fancy fingerwork. There are bars on each side and you get to kind of choose your view and your bar and your favorite pianist. There are four who rotate in and out and I can't believe there are only 4 for how much work that they do! Did I mention they sing as well?! And are absolutely hilarious??
These guys can play a.ny.thing. Yes, seriously. Some of my favorite songs of the night included Baby by Biebs, Under the Sea from the Little Mermaid, Doe a Dear, Dixieland Delight (can't say I didn't tear up a little bit... SA love), and oh... am I forgetting one... yes that's right BABY GOT BACK. Just casually on a Baby Grand Piano complete with dance moves. They also played the classics like Journey, Billy Joel, and the Temptations. I was in heaven!
The other perks of the night include getting to play on the Boardwalk itself (which has ice cream shops, candy stores, boutiques and a sweet view!), the "big red cup" signature drink with a side of all-you-can-eat popcorn, and watching everyone sing their hearts out when their song came on.
Literally, the best time I've had in a while and I can't wait to go back! have any of y'all been to a piano bar? Any cool stories??
