Table 12 for the win! I was in Rosemont for a work trip, which usually means dull dinners, early nights and generally a bit Puritanical. Since we were in Chicago, I took my boss and coworker to the Tiki TIki next door for a shot of Malort. It's Chicago, after all. 1 shot became 2, 2 became 4, and before I knew it, the bartender was ushering us through the swinging door into Pete's once they opened. Fun fact: we were the first ones in and also shut the bar down. From the moment the pianists started, it was clear this place was on point. Even them doing introductions and giving the ground rules was done musically. All four singers were wicked talented, and rotated in and out through the night. On occasion, they came together and became a full on quartet playing instruments other than pianos. Vocals were amazing, the energy in the place was such that I didn't even realize the time until they did last call and the lights came up. The layout of Pete's lends itself to entertainment. Regardless of what table you are at, you have a great view of the stage and no one has their back to the performance. The atmosphere is covered with fun and bright signs all over and despite being a larger place, it feels intimate when your song is played and everyone sings along. The table service was also great. She never hovered, but we also never lacked a drink. The next best thing about this place, after the performers, is the level of crowd interaction. There were folks singing along to every single song, and at times it was the whole bar. A couple of times during the night, folks were running around the bar riding a horse's head (or maybe a unicorn) on a stick. Somehow, it all just made sense. Pete's turned what could have been another boring end of a work trip sitting in the hotel into a night full of laughs, shots, and having a hoarse voice for days. read more

Company outing after dinner with the team! Never been to a dueling piano bar so wasn't really sure what to expect. The experience is in the name; 2 guys and a small band pick songs to play and the audience really sings out loud (and really loud sometimes). I knew some of the songs so I could sing along. The inside is very big, accommodates a lot of guests, seating is everywhere, huge bar, and I loved all the cute/funny decor everywhere. read more

Fun Atmosphere, but Music Selection Needs Expansion The piano bar has a fantastic concept, and overall, it was a great night. However, the staff could be more well-rounded with different genres of music. Our group, mostly African-American, made song requests that weren't honored because the musicians didn't know them. That was a little disappointing, but we still made the best of it and had fun. One of the highlights was being allowed on stage to dance, which we took full advantage of! The energy was amazing, and it really added to the experience. I also love the idea that, even though they don't serve food, you can order from the restaurant next door or bring your own, which is a nice touch. The drinks were great, and the staff was incredibly friendly, which made the evening enjoyable. I'd definitely come back if I knew more diverse music requests could be honored. With a bit more variety in the music, this place would be perfect! read more

Pete's Dueling Piano Bar - Stage - Piano Bars Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

If you're looking for a night full of energy, laughter, and fun, Pete's Dueling Pianos is the place to be! The atmosphere here is electric, with talented performers and an interactive vibe that keeps everyone engaged. I do think the performers could play more modern music favorites, though, because much of the music tends to be for an older crowd. I recently celebrated my 30th birthday here with a group of 35+ friends, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring our large party was comfortable and cared for. Everyone working there was so kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome. We were seated at reserved tables in the back of the venue in between both bars. At first, we didn't have enough seats reserved in our area for what was paid for, so the workers were kind enough to reserve three more tables next to our area. We had 2 servers specific to our area, but it's nice that you could also order drinks by walking to one of the two bar areas yourself. The engaging aspect of the experience is that the performers encourage you to dance and sing along with them. You could also request songs to be played (but be careful with how much money you tip, because I had a friend Venmo $25 to play a T Swift song and instead of playing it right away, one of the performers claimed it would take $100 to play it). The performers finally played the song 2.5 hours later after my friend already left, so that put a negative aspect to the night. I feel like most people don't even tip when requesting songs, so the fact he gave that much should have been an automatic play rather than a "joke" to make the crowd laugh. As for drinks, the selection is fantastic and there truly is something for everyone! From tropical cocktails to classic favorites, the menu has an impressive variety, and everything we tried was top-notch. My favorites were the pina colada and sangrias! If you're planning a celebration or just a fun night out, I highly recommend Pete's Dueling Pianos. It's the kind of place where memories are made, and you'll leave with a smile on your face.... and ya know, a little drunk! read more

By the end of the night the bartenders were DRUNK! I tried to order a drink and the bartender told me it was too complicated and suggested a shot instead. It wasn't even 10pm yet! Management needs to step up and tell their college aged bartenders real it in. I've never been at a place where a BARTENDER was too drunk to serve me a drink. read more

Nice atmosphere and very attentive wait staff. However, the piano players will "yes" you that they will play a song, and never even make an attempt. Our group wound up pre-tipping them over $100 to play a song on three different occasions on the night that we went there. The piano players said they would play our song, and confirmed that it was in their queue, but after over three hours, they never played our song. I get it that their repertoire is what it is, but we're very disappointed that they would confirm that they would play our song, take our cash, and never played our song. For what it's worth, the piano players are very talented, but not very trustworthy. read more

Definitely!!! Awesome entertainment!!! Yes, go here for Bridal showers, girls/ guys night out, date night, get out but... I highly recommend you going here! fun fun fun This was so much fun!!! The door staff treated us like VIP by walking us to a table and giving us the table that we wanted without hesitation... dude was AWESOME!!! I forget his name but he was hella cool!!! The entertainment was fun, funny and cool. These pianist were a hoot and they kept us laughing the entire time, as well as, they kept interacting with the crowd which, made it 100 times more fun! We sang and laughed so hard and really enjoyed ourselves!!! I'd definitely return because, this much fun is worth another visit! Thanks guys well done!!! I suggest that you bring some cash to participate in requesting a song or two... they knew all of them...ok... maybe not Hillary Duffs music but they knew 99.9% of the songs of all variety including when dude sang and rapped BIGGIE SMALLS ...I died and went to visit Biggie( Respectfully). Lol ‍ AMAZING!! Coolest and funniest moment was when my pal and I were bringing in culture like, "HEYYYY" and rapping along with 1 of the pianist while he rapped Biggies song. He knew word from word, while those in the crowd, knew nothing about Biggies music, but they, (stared mouth dropped), at us as we rapped with him, , smiling and clapping lol SERIOUSLY they're mouths were dropped as if they were amazed that we knew the words along with the guy. . Kodak moment. The crowd did clap along and were smiling the entire time, seeming amazed! Hilarious Singing... " I used to read wordup magazine" lol Anyway, these guys were divas in there own right and killed it all. Great music and a very fun time!!! Yes yes yes go check it out for yourself and tell them that we sent ya. Tell em hi for me! Fyi: There's limited parking out front... first come, first serve. If you are staying at any of the nice hotels, in the area, it's close enough to walk or uber/lyft to and from. read more

First time hanging out in Rosemont entertainment district. My friend and fellow Yelp Elite was in town and booked a hotel near the area. We were out and about during Happy Hour and stopped by Pete's Tiki Bar. While at Pete's they advised that the dueling piano bar opened at 7pm. We arrived at 7:50pm right before the show to get seating and drinks. Without a reservation we were sat in the 3rd row and had a good view of the performers. We were charged a $10 cover which was fine. The musicians promptly started the show at 8pm. The musicians were very talented and played multi-instruments. Very impressed with their range. Artist played: Lizzo, Biggie, Hillary Duff, Alanis Morissette, Whitney Houston, Elton John and lots of country. Lol very diverse Requesting songs can be done with cash or zelle. The musicians tend to play the bigger tip songs early. I understand that but ultimately my $5 song didn't get played and I had to leave at 10pm to catch a train. So come knowing what song you wanna hear before all the drunk people start requesting $20 and $50 songs. No hate to the artist. They deserve their money!!! This venue is really nice and spacious. My cosmo drink was good. My friend's hurricane was okay. I would come back and hang here. Very nice spot to celebrate birthday, retirement, and bachelorette party. We had so many diverse group having a great time. read more

This spot is located just outside of the convention center area in a nice entertainment district. There is free parking out front and within a reasonable walking distance. This bar is colocated with a very nice tiki bar. This bar is huge with tons of seating. There are tables with seating, seating at the full bars and bar seating along the perimeter. Of course you have two pianos on the stage that are being played by two awesome musicians. There was also another guy that joined them and/or relieved one of them at certain points of the show. The show was very interactive, as you would expect, and you pay the musicians to play their piano rendition of your song. They do accept electronic payment too. Cupcake and the gang were very good and talented. They love playing Disney songs. Don't believe me... just ask them....lol. You can move freely between this bar and the tiki bar that it is connected to by a simple swinging door, which is cool. You get two totally different bars in one. This place has some very savory signature cocktails. It is hard to choose just one. If you are planning a gathering or a large group, especially on weekends, I highly recommend reserving a table or tables. You can call or do it online. it is very easy. I really liked the show and the bars vibe. It is a very fun place, even on a regular weekday and I highly recommend checking it out. read more

Was here right after New Year's and loved the whole vibe. The four person band included some amazing talent and kept the crowd entertained for hours. The guys had great energy and were fun without ever losing the connection to the audience. We had a fantastic time! read more

This place SUCKS!!! We waited 2+ hours for only a couple of our requested songs to be played. The other ones we plaid money for never got played. And they charged $10 per person to get in when the place was DEAD. DONT GO HERE!!!! read more

Amazing fun at Pete's. Talented musicians, fun dialog, and friendly staff. Crazy that the piano players knew absolutely EVERY song thrown at them. The obvious songs from Elton John and Billy Joel are expected. BUT to belt out Spice Girls??? Gorillaz and more? Like I said , talented. Was really fun and the attached Tiki Bar was an additional bonus. read more

Wondering what to get my family for Christmas, I decided to bring them to Pete's for fun instead of getting them something they didn't need. Starting with the door guy Mo, we were led to our smack dab I the middle table. Aliyah, our waitress, took great care of us all night. Maria, Our bartender, kept our drinks coming as ordered. But the highlight of the night was Christian, Tony, Jeremy, and Anthony. The songs were amazing. Their skill on piano, drums, base and singing was amazing. We had so much fun. We don't eat but the menu had many things that we would have tried if we were hungry. read more

Great tie! Great talent! False drinks! I NEVER get hangovers From Grey Goose. I ordered only 3 grey goose with h2o water. I had a major headache by the end of the night there.

READY TO ROCK Are your ready to sing out loud? Pete's Rosemont is back after being closed for two years! Thanks Corona and I'm not the beer but the virus for taking away the joy of a packed room of people all singing off key. You know we all missed that. The weekend was full of pure happiness, as the packed audience at Pete's all sang along with the talented piano players. I'm glad to see that people are back together. Pete's is located in the entertainment district in the Village of Rosemont. It's a ton of fun with various bars and restaurants. There's even a winter skating rink. It reminds me of Universal Studios Orlando because it's full of life and fun. We can be cool too in Illinois. Pete's dueling piano bar brings the energy and it's the perfect place to celebrate any occasion especially bachelorette parties. I always find it funny that the piano players ask if anyone is celebrating a divorce. I guess you can't have one without the other. The artists take requests and if you tip a twenty your request moves right to the front. Yes money talks here but the piano players are worth it. They are so talented that they will play other instruments like drums, violin & guitar. It just adds to the whole show. They even light up some fireworks. It's a blast. This place also has serious drinks. There's a 54 ounce shareable cocktail. We ordered the PORN STAR with Pink Vodka, Cruzan Mango Rum, Melon, pineapple juice & grenadine. Yeah it's the perfect party starter. They also have shots, hand crafted cocktails & boozy concoctions. There is plenty of liquid courage in the room which leads to lots of singing. All of this singing and drinking is making me hungry. Pete's partners with Crust Brewing next door & you're able to have pizzas delivered directly to your table. Pete you've thought about everything on how to throw the perfect party. We ordered the "Shroom Pizza" made with black truffle cream, mixed mushroom, arugula, & shaved parmesan & the "Spice Spice Baby Pizza" made with pepperoni, sausage, fresh jalapeno, & chili oil. Both pizzas were really tasty & the quality of the ingredients were fantastic. The spices go great with music and cocktails. If you're looking for the perfect evening of live music in a fun and interactive setting, then look no further. After one drink, you'll be dancing and singling aloud. And we all deserve that, after the last two years we've had in isolation. Fun fact...Pete's building a Tiki Tiki bar in front. I can hardly wait to set sail on this new adventure. It should be opening in May the of 2022! Cheers Pete's!!! read more

Food and service are excellent. If you're hoping for a great piano duet where the pianists go back and forth in a synchronized session you'll be disappointed. These guys have about a C- in vocal ability and all they want are donations from the audience to play pop standards. We were disappointed as first time patrons. read more

Pete's Dueling Piano Bar - Pete's on March 1, 2024 - Piano Bars Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Pete's Dueling Piano Bar has just opened up in the Parkway Bank Park entertainment district in Rosemont. Pete's has several locations in Texas, so it is interesting to see a new location land in suburban Chicago. My love and I were invited to attend during its opening week, and we certainly had a lot of fun here. There was also a ribbon cutting ceremony including dignitaries such as the Mayor of Rosemont. Their slogan is Sing Loud and their spirit animal is a rubber duck. Thanks to the talented piano players who are also singers (they also played drums and / or guitar), we did (try to) sing loud along with the constant stream of popular sing-along hits. The adult beverages also fueled the overall good mood of the crowd, some of which had little duckies floating in the drinks. There was a decent free food buffet for us this evening - not sure if that is a given or if this was just an extra feature of the opening week. The servers were busy but they all seemed to be in good spirits to match the crowd. We look forward to a return visit to Pete's with some other peeps. read more

This place is definitely for people of a certain age. The music is so loud and pitchy. He will play a terrible song so someone can pay more for another terrible song. "I'll stop paying Tom Jones if someone pays $11 for another song" So pitchy. Drinks are SOOOOO sweet. They're like college fishbowls. We had great customer service. Absolutely no way I'd be back. ‍ read more

We stumbled upon this place because everything other bar was either closer or had a specific dress code. When we got there, we were told there was a $12 cover charge, I immediately thought this is weird but at this point we were already there and out of options in the area. We sat down and scanned the barcode on the table for the menu like it suggested and it didn't work. We moved to the bar and got a hurricane and sex on the beach, I kept the tab open. Based on how the drinks were described in the menu, I guess expected the look of the drink to be more appealing. It was just a plastic brand cup with an orange on the rim . The drinks were pretty good and very strong surprisingly. Of course you never know the price until you get the tab. I ended up spending $60 for 4 drinks . Overall it was decent. The band was cute and I'm guessing the $12 goes towards the entertainment ‍. Would I go back? Probably not but if you live in that area, maybe it's worth checking out. read more

Great drinks, great service, great food, however the main attraction aka the live music was pretty awful. Just country music the entire time meanwhile my entire table knows none of the songs, and we don't like country music. Could really be more diverse. Originally had it at 3 stars, but as the night went on, they continued to play only 80's, 90's, and country music. So much potential for the music but why only these three genres. Absolutely horrible variety read more

When we first entered, the place was completely empty save for the staff. Didn't seem like a promising sign. We're so glad we stayed. The musicians were very talented and read the audience very well. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Very fun! read more

I was at Pete's last night after our work Holiday Party and let me tell you the place was packed! I spotted some tables to the immediate left near the stage, pretty lucky for how busy it was! And within minutes a bubbly blonde server took our orders, brought us water. She was amazing! And then more coworkers came by, we must have had about four tables. Not sure if she took care of the rest, but they seemed fine. Anyways, the songs were great, people were dancing and we even made friends with a table across from us. The best part? They had a photographer and I made sure to bother him all night to take photos of our group and new friends. He was so sweet and took great pictures. I gave him my email so fingers crossed he sends them! All in all, great time for the after work party. I think it might become a thing every year. The one downside? As we were leaving, one coworker and I needed to use the restroom and there was a security guy who would not let us thru because we were 2 minutes too late. I spoke to the manager and he let us go, we all had long drives and everything else around was closed. Minor thing. We'll be back! Might organize some more work events here in the near future. read more

Went on opening night and was all around a fun time! Be aware they do not have food options, it is a drinks only bar. The drink options are pretty varied with beers and mixed drinks. Price wise they're pretty normal for city prices but a little high for Rosemont. The show was great and the performers are very engaging with the audience. They'll have everyone singing along in no time. I'd say this is a good place to go to have a group but if it's just a smaller group that wants to chat and hang out it might not be your best option. There's also a cover charge of $10. read more

Over priced drinks and not so great entertainment. Went there for a friend's birthday party. The piano players interact with the crowd a lot (maybe too much and focus more on the music) but I just didn't find the fun and games that fun or the talent level of the music that great. read more

Umm... I paid $12.50 for the worst "entertainment" of my life. Love dueling piano bars, and was so excited to check this place out. Don't know if I ended up on an off Saturday night, but they spent ten minutes playing "head shoulders knees and toes". The heck?! read more

Had a great time tonight, went for a birthday party to surprise the birthday girl, we weren't 100% sure they were there, walked in, the bouncer said it was a $15 dollar cover, we were like we may be in and out, we don't know, so he waved us in, we were like, oh ok, thanks. We found the party, great to see everyone, had a drink bought, then bought some rounds, fun time listening to the band, you know what to expect at a dueling piano bar, fun nonetheless. Server was great. Most of the party then left, had another drink with my remaining friend, taking and catching up, until...the same bouncer comes up to us, bar is pretty empty at this point, and in a demeaning and demoralizing manner, says to us "do you remember what you told me?' you were only supposed to be in and out and you're still here! You didn't pay the cover, you should pay it, it's the right thing to do, like I was trying to steal something from them. I was dumbfounded because I never thought twice about it, and was more like we may have misunderstood his wave in. I said I will pay it right now, fine. After paying my tab I walked to the front so he could ring me up, for 12 dollars and not 15. I told him he should have came up to me 2 hours ago so I didn't spend over 100 dollars on drinks, he kept saying but it's the right thing to do like I was an immortal person. I said you should do your job! I said I never want to be accused of not paying my bill, he said the other person who left didn't pay either, I said ring it up, I'll pay that too! That's when I called for the manager. She was wonderful, very nice, understood the situation, tried to make it right, I said it's not about the money, I said I have never had this happen to me before, ever. She apologized and wanted to offer a discount or something, I said no thank you. I was absolutely incensed and needless to say I won't be going back. Customer service still goes a long way, too bad a lot of people don't have that skill any longer. #hirebetter read more

We had so much fun here!! We stumbled upon this while hanging out downtown Rosemont, we are first timers. If you can, definitely book a table ahead of time so you get a good seat. The staff was very attentive. The piano players were so talented & comedic. The crowd was roaring. They take song requests, but tip large if you want them to prioritize it. They also invite some of the audience on stage throughout the night for different songs. Would recommend heading here after dinner and hanging for a while! read more
