Pete's Piano Bar never misses, but our server Tatum truly made the night. She was an absolute 5/5. From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, attentive, and somehow always appeared right when we needed something. Drinks came fast, recommendations were spot on, and her energy matched the vibe of the room perfectly. When you're in a loud, high energy piano bar, great service matters and Tatum nailed it. Ask for her if you can. We'll definitely be back. read more

Don't bother getting there early. They reserve bar seats now. They will sell you without seats available even if you arrive early.

Tons of fun, love how they get the crowd involved. I was worried that since the crowd picked all the music that it might not be the best choices, but everyone was lively and involved and willing participants, so hopefully you come on the right night with the right people. Also getting drinks was super easy. The waitress was attentive and somehow always showed up when we needed her most read more

We came here on NYE and LOVED it! Bouncers were quick and kept the numbers at a comfortable place. It was packed but the bartenders were awesome and the pianists put on a show! We didn't buy a table but had standing room only- which was easy because it kept you close to the bar. The singers are insanely engaging and the atmosphere is fun and laid back. They always get people onstage and the entire place was dancing. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

I was on the fence about going to this place as the dueling piano bar in San Diego is sooooo fun! Boy am I glad I did!!! I can honestly say it's soooo much better! Highly recommend going!! read more

(Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is happenin' fantastic music is goin' down in Frisco tonight! The Not Smashed to Peaches was the perfect mocktail! Love those peaches! Wanna shake that tree. The Tropical Red Bull the perfect pick me up! The energy was out of this world fun! So much frolicking fun behind the mics and pianos! Hoorah! The service was super fast and friendly! My oh my! So Frisco! Would come back again and drag a bigger group next time! Woohoo! read more

This is not an upscale place by any means. The chairs are very uncomfortable if you're sitting there for hours. The performers need to have a female so we can hear more girl songs. Sam has the best voice, and it's not bad to look at. read more

3/5 stars for two reasons The music is great but if you tip cash for your songs - it's no guarantee they play them and if they do it's not for a WHILE. The shots are great directly from the bar but if you're at a table and order them - they're premade and not cold or good. Also my bf got roofied here :( read more

We went on a Saturday night, had a party of 10 with reservations made a few weeks in advance. We had a great table, and had amazing service. I have been to over 10 dueling piano bars around the US and this is top notch! Absolutely an amazing time. You must have reservations or will not have the same experience. The people who have given bad reviews showed up with no reservations expecting to get a good seat.... You can't do that at a popular place like this! The standing room only area for those with no reservations is small and you have to fight the bar for a drink. I can see why people complain, but it's the wrong way to visit this venue. read more

We loved Pete's Dueling Piano Bar when it was in Addison. The parking was horrible but the atmosphere was so much fun. Now that it moved to Frisco, I don't believe it has the same pizzazz. We've been there twice and the audience is low in numbers and not as LOUD as it was in Addison. On the bright side, we could always get a good seat. Drinks are alright, food is okay, pianists are always amazing. You do have to pay 50% more in Frisco but that makes sense. read more

My wife and I went here for the first time on a date. It's fun, it's loud, the performers are not just musicians, they are comedians and improvers. Pete's gives special attention to Bachelorette parties so there were three on the night I visited. It's also popular for birthdays. Be prepared for some raunchiness! Unfortunately for the entire venue, which is quite large, only one single-stall bathroom was available, unisex. In a bar, this is just not okay. There are two single-stall bathrooms installed, one was out of order (even two is not enough). The bathroom was gross. Cover here is $15 per person so be prepared for that. Lastly, there are at least 4 different performers. We loved the first two performers but an hour later they were switched with two others who simply weren't funny. We left soon after that. read more

Was very impressed with my last experience here! There was an issue with a charge and the manager, Maggie, did not hesitate to step in and help. Greatly appreciated, Maggie, you were a pleasure to work with! Mattie W... for your first week, you KILLED it! Thank you for being the best server, highly recommend you all ask to be seated in Mattie's section, I will for sure ask for her again! read more

We came on a Wednesday and it was pretty empty which we didn't mind at all! Bartenders were nice and the pianist were all fun ! Bring your cash to make sure you can tip them to get your song heard ! Only major downfall is no food! But they do allow you to bring in your own food or they'll order you a pizza from downstairs . read more

We were here for a friends 50th birthday. This was my first time at this Pete's. Extremely disappointed. Drink cost are ridiculous. $14 and up. Beer 6.50 for btl. Food is OK. Pizza needs to be baked where the crust is crispy not soggy. We were stuck in the back where you can't see anything. There's a sitting area right behind us with no reserve sign however we couldn't stand there as we were told it was reserved. This place really sucked and I would never step foot in this place again. IM DONE... read more

Such a fun night to be had here!! As a woman, feeling safe at a bar is my number one priority. and Pete's is incredibly safe with numerous staff on hand. The drinks are awesome, very strong, and the bartenders are so sweet. The music is wonderful and if you come here with some friends on a saturday night, i'm positive you'll have one of the best experiences ever. read more

Went to Pete's this past Saturday. The entertainment was a 4 star however the venue gets 1 star fir the following: Too crowded, standing room only with people little touching you like a can of sardines. Not sure what the caricature is but it was crowded. Restrooms: 2, one person, restrooms, that are male/female restrooms! As a grown woman the last thing I want is to go into a restroom that men have urinated all over the seat and floor. It was gross! Sad, we paid a cover to purchase a $7 beer and use a nasty male/female restroom read more

Such a friendly vibe! It's a nice area and the crew plays an array of genres. We had so much fun read more

I went to Pete's for years when they were in Addison. Every time we had out of town guests thats where we would take them. We loved it. They were accommodating and always fantastic customer service. We live in Frisco and were excited when they moved closer to us. 5 minutes away actually from our home. However, We have been there a handful of time since the move, bringing our friends and out of town guests and having work gatherings and birthdays there. The experience EVERY TIME has been less than desirable since the move. At first I justified a new place, people, and getting all their ducks in a row, and working out the kinks, but it never got better. No matter how much we pay or what VIP seats we requested and paid for, we still got stuck off to the side 3 rows back. So I started paying more for better seats, but since my parties were bigger 8-12 they still stuck us off to the side. Their response was its like playing Tetris and we have a big party and we have to accommodate everyone and there is no where to put us. Uh? So why didnt I just pay the $15 per head instead of $50/$100? Same treatment. I have brought this to their attention in person and they are rude and dismissive. Lastly, ever since they started taking venmo or mobile song requests we havent heard our requests at all. We pay cash with the little paper requests sheets. We used to always get our song played and it was personalized. The last 2 times we went, not one song from our entire group was played. That is alot of money and no return. All venmo requests are getting played. The place we loved to go and bring our friends to enjoy an evening or special occasion is terrible since the move. We have tried to give it 2nd chances, 3rd chances etc.. doesn't get better. Its always a rude and a whatever attitude. I would love to be able to continue to go and enjoy but the customer service and vibe is way different. Not worth the money. read more

So fun! There's nothing like singing along to your favorites with a large group of strangers. Perfect for bachelorettes, birthdays or just a night out with the girls. read more

Went Saturday. Piano team. 5 stars. Place was happening. Great/nice staff. Would go back. My requests got played. Only complaint was the Jell-O shots in syringes. Our group Spend about $250 for them but after 6 myself do not feel any alcohol effects nor tasted anything in them. . I drink maybe once every 4 months and not a heavy person. Does not take much to feel something. After 6 felt nothing. Would skip the jello. But will be back. Had fun. read more

Service was poor if you don't have a table and reservations. Show was how it's always been - entertainment is awesome. Good is improved over the last location. What makes no sense is that the waiters make their money off of serving / and they just wouldn't. read more

while I maintain my prior five star review, I wanted to provide some info some may find helpful. I came down with Covid (not severe, as I had been fully boosted) four days after visiting this place, and am almost certain I caught it here. Do I blame them? no - I knew the risk I was taking in an atmosphere which could not be a better environment for airborne virus transmission (hundreds of people crammed into an enclosed poorly-ventilated room singing at the top of their lungs). But I provide this info to any who might not realize the risk and who do not wish to take that risk. It would be great if these bars had a better mechanism of ventilation. hard to envision what that might be, but the fact of the matter is these places unfortunately provide the perfect transmission environments. read more

This place was so much fun! Came here on a Friday night around 9:30 pm and it was packed! We were standing for a good 30 minutes and until I asked a waitress if she could find an empty table for us and luckily she did! Sometimes empty tables are hard to see in between so many people so ask your waitstaff to be sure! It didn't seem like there was a enough waitstaff for the amount of people there, so I always had to go to the bar if I wanted a drink which I didn't mind too much. Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan of the two different drinks I had. But the pianists were amazing! Make sure to add a nice tip to your song requests if you want it played quicker! read more

Pete's Dueling Piano Bar - So packed - Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Here's a great place for parites - small, large, birthday, or otherwise. We rented the whole place and brought in about 75 people. We could have easily added 30 to 40 more. Seating was fine for our size group, but might get a little cramped at full capacity. They have a small menu, but this is mainly a drinking bar. We catered food in as part of our package and made use of their bar which is nicely stocked with premium liquors. The performers are the real draw here. They're experienced pros and play the crowd really well. If you sit near the stage someone in your party will likely get pulled into the action. Smoking outside the door on the back balcony. read more

This location is ridiculous. I loved the Addison location where it felt like everyone was included. Here you have to reserve and even if there are extra chairs they are taken away from you. Completely ridiculous especially since it's been 100 degrees outside/ ITS TEXAS. Take care of your people better. read more

Come with cash in hand! Pete's Dueling Piano Bar is a typical piano bar, where the musicians take requests for songs, but actually spend most of their time bringing people up on stage for funny stunts. Given this approach, it's the type of thing you do as a part of a birthday party, or bachelorette party, or when friends are in town. It's also great if you want to go "out" but not go to a club dancing. But - it's NOT the type of thing you'd go and do every weekend, because it would get really old, really quick. We showed up on Friday night around 9pm. There is a valet out front that is a $5 charge - be sure you don't spend all your cash on song requests! A quick jaunt up some stairs (that smelled horrible, by the way) led us to the entrance of Pete's. There was no line at all when we arrived, so we paid our $10 fee and ventured inside. By the time we arrived, all tables & chairs were taken, but we were happy enough lingering at one of the two bar areas, as they were completely empty. It gave us plenty of room for dancing or talking. Plus, we were able to get a drink as soon as we wanted - the bartenders were not busy at all. The tables & chairs, which require reservations, looked tiny tiny and totally crammed in together. The music itself was pretty good, with most songs being played pop songs or 90s hits. I didn't see many people requesting songs, but this is one of my favorite parts of going to a piano bar. I wrote two songs on a slip of paper and, in an effort to ensure one of the two songs was played, paired it with a $10 bill. I couldn't even make it to the stage as tables & chairs were blocking the path, but one of the piano players came and grabbed my request. We waited about an hour and a half to two hours and neither song was ever played. That's disappointing. Drinks were pricey, but the bartenders were really friendly and fast. I wish they had draft beer, or at least more beer options. It was pretty limited. I couldn't help ordering one of the Schooners to share. We got the Planter's Punch, and it was good but very sweet! I was pleased with my duck to take home. Admittedly: I am a die-hard fan of Howl at the Moon, and I think they do the dueling piano gig much better than Pete's. At Pete's it felt like every other song was another opportunity to bring folks up on stage for some sort of embarrassment. I think HATM musicians play more of a variety, and I prefer the focus on request-taking. I also like that most HATMs have a dance floor, Pete's does not. However, since there's no Howl at the Moons in the Dallas area, Pete's is a great choice to fill the piano bar void. I'll probably be back with out-of-town friends in tow. I'd also like to come back on a weeknight to see how the scene is different with less bachelorettes and birthdays. It's a worthwhile way to spend an evening - just be prepared to spend a nice chunk of your entertainment budget for the month! read more

Your face will hurt from smiling and singing all night! Reserve seats because it's always packed & standing room only

As a tourist visiting Houston from NYC, Pete's was a culture shock for me. Don't get me wrong, I have a country side to me but never experienced anything like Pete's. When my friend told me there'd be a live band doing covers of all songs, old and new, I didn't realize how rated-X they would be! AWESOME! I've always loved Texans, but experiencing a Saturday night here made me love them even more! From the dancing to the singing to the drinking, the experience was incredible. The environment is vibrant, friendly, loud, and so much fun! You can even write all over the walls in chalk! The band interacts with as many people as they can, they're hilarious, and the staff is set on making sure you have a good time. The bartenders are friendly and make great (and strong) drinks, and they even have jello shots that come in syringes! What made me even happier was saving the $5 cover charge because when the bouncer saw my ID, he noticed my birthday was a few days prior and let me in for free. WIN! read more

I was visiting from California and finally decided to go out to check out the night life in Addison. I was not disappointed! This place is one of the best piano bars I have been too. The musicians are amazing and the engagement with the audience is exceptional. I enjoyed e every bit and was sad to leave around 12, since we planned to go to another place, the night was still young! The place got crowded but had enough space to move around. People don't really stand up and dance, it's not that kind of place so it was ok. Our server was very polite and professional. Since they come and get the order, you don't have to walk around. They had huge Jell-O shots, it was a shot and I was impressed lol 4 stars because the menu wasn't very impressive. Few items mostly pizza. The drinks barely had alcohol. One of my friends drinks literally tasted like juice. Also, the drink prices were not high considering it only having that much alcohol. Little disappointing!! read more

Pete's Dueling Piano Bar - The fancy drinks - Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

I've been here twice and never been disappointed. There's a $10 cover fee, which is understandable, but birthdays are free of cover for that person. When you first enter, you can hear the crowd be very engaged and the pianists know how to hype the crowd up very well. You sometimes see another side of people or even yourself after a few laughs and drinks. Definitely would recommend and have a little patience for a table. Looking forward to be back! read more

Love, love, LOVEEE this place!! I came here for the first time on Saturday night and it is honestly one of my new favorite places. The music is great and the drinks are fantastic!! As soon as you walk into Pete's, there is just this glow of happiness in the room. I absolutely loved the energy. Now, I do recommend getting here early because this place gets packed QUICK. I got here around 8 and it was already difficult to find a seat. A really amazing part about this place is that the walls have chalkboards so that you can sign your name! I thought that was a unique and creative idea All of the songs that were played were super fun to sing along to and it's a great place to bring a date or bring friends. read more

Make sure you get a reservation before you go. We got there when they opened, got charged a cover and were told after paying the cover that we could get on a list for a table and it was standing room only. They took our phone number (we were number 3 on the list), charged us $75 for 4 beers and two crappy cocktails and never called us about a table. There are much better Piano bar options in Dallas. Louie, Louie's in Deep Ellum comes to mind. read more

Love this place! I used to go to it when it was located in Addison and this was my first time going since it reopened in Frisco! The performers are always awesome. I just wish it was a little bit bigger on the inside because it definitely gets crowded and there's not many places to stand without feeling like you're in the way. Lots of specialty drink options here as well - I always gets reeled into the Jell-O shots read more

Pete's Dueling Piano Bar - Bars Near Me - Frisco, Texas

Let me just say if you plan on going here, you need to make reservations. Thank God we did. The only problem is these tables are so small they should not sit more than three people at a table. We literally had to eat our food on our lap because there wasn't enough room for our food and drinks. The entertainment was awesome. The service was very slow. By the time we got our second drink, we were sober from the first. I know they're still working out the kinks. My nachos were awesome but my friends food was cold. Our server was very nice but they didn't have near enough servers working. So I would suggest you make reservations at least two months in advance, and only have three people per table. When you order your food and drink get there early so you can order everything before it gets busy. I would order several drinks because it will take forever to get your third period. The entertainment, though was awesome. The girl that sings is so talented. Not only does sing, she plays the drums and the guitar. We loved the entertainment!! read more
