Dueling Pianos
Battle of the keys, musical madness
Dueling Pianos is located on the lively Royal Promenade. This one-of-a-kind venue puts a unique twist on the classic piano bar concept, featuring two pianists battling it out on baby grand pianos. They take requests and entertain the audience with a lively mix of music, humor, and engaging audience participation. Guests can enjoy a diverse repertoire of songs and plenty of musical mixology, making it the perfect spot to let loose and join in on the fun. It's a high-energy venue where you can grab a cocktail, sing along to your favorite tunes, and get ready for an evening of musical madness. This lively show is great for music fans and is open to all ages, though it becomes a 21+ venue after 10:00 p.m. Casual attire is perfectly suitable for this engaging and interactive experience.
