    Cannot say enough good things about this place. We are out here visiting from CA, and we were looking to have a fun night out. We came on the perfect day (Thursday) because Russell Boyd and his accompanying drummer were the life of the party. Not only did he play some piano classics, but he took requests which made the night so much fun. They also managed to make the crowd laugh quite a bit (Russell is also an author/ really funny person). The service was impeccable, for some reason the bar was getting pretty crowded as the night went on and the bartender (Sara) managed to happily serve everyone. The drinks were good! Overall, it was a 11/10 night out. Our initial plan was to bar hop, but we stayed because of every component that went into this bar. I definitely recommend coming here, but ESPECIALLY on a Thursday night!

    Interesting setup and venue. Piano player and drummer. I was invited by a great friend and was not expecting this setup but it was very interesting. A nice bar with a piano player and drummer willing to play any selections chosen by the customers. Great drinks and limited seating area. I would truly recommend this place with a nice group of friends or happy hour after the happy hour. Overall, I think you will have a good time here and if you willing to enjoy good music of your choice, I think you will enjoy this place. FYI, you have to find parking that around the corner or on the next block. Enjoy!

    Entertainment!!!

    The was such a fun place! We went on a Friday night and the place was packed being so small it gets pretty crowded. They take song requests and oh my goodness are they great at entertaining!!! I got the privilege of hearing Michael on the drums sing his version of Fergalicious which was so hilarious! The drinks are decent prices and the entertainment is so much fun! People were dancing and singing along! I will definitely be going back there again!

    The dueling pianos they had were a lot better than what they have now. The dirty jokes were just juvenile and annoying...

We actually ran into…read moreHans Kim and ended up walking over with him -- we genuinely had no idea where we were going and had never even heard of this place before. The scene was very different from our usual spots and definitely felt like a throwback to our younger days: lots of young people, lots of alcohol, and high energy. It wasn't the cleanest -- there were empty cups and napkins scattered around -- which felt more like a lack of courtesy from some patrons than the staff, but it's worth noting. That said, the bartenders were friendly, service was quick, and there was plenty of seating. We were able to grab drinks easily and settle in to enjoy the show. The dueling piano performers were a blast and play songs based on requests -- the bigger the tip, the better your chances, which adds to the fun. There were multiple birthday and engagement celebrations happening on stage, and the crowd energy was contagious. All in all, we had a great time and would absolutely return -- especially if you're looking for something lively, interactive, and a little out of your normal routine

If you've been there and you have a nose unaffected by a smoking habit, I'm sure you'll agree. Fat Black man in the photos is the Manager of Pete's Dueling Piano Bar. His actions represent the views opinions and values of Pete's Dueling Piano Bar. And Pete's Dueling Piano Bar supports his actions while on the clock. April 4th 2026 between 7:15pm and 7:45pm: This manager, -in retaliation for an earlier failed intimidation attempt- playfully warned his subordinate with the reddish hair in the pictures that I was approaching, and then pushed his 'friend' into my path as I was walking pass the establishment. He openly admitted to everyone around including his work crew that he deliberately shoved another human being into me, and his excuse was that the girl is his friend. I told him that I'm NOT his friend, and not to play with me like that. He said he'll do whatever he wants to do to pedestrians, because he's the manager of the establishment. He then got physical and tried to push me, and when he realized he lacked the proper strength, he threatened to call the police on me. This all happened on the sidewalk from the entrance as I was walking by. I've been a patron of the esatblishmnet in the past, and I've never caused any trouble, or received any. So I was very much taken aback by the sudden aggression, and disrespect. All of his staff; the girl with the red highlights in the pictures, and the man with the long dark hair holding the selfie phone next to Fat Black, they all thought this was so funny. They all supported him and his actions, and actively assisted in his harassment, on the clock, on the job, as representatives of Pete's Dueling Piano Bar. Maybe Pete's Dueling Piano Bar is only hospitable and friendly when you're paying them to be. Fat Black, The Manager of Pete's Dueling Piano Bar started a fight with a pedestrian, restarted it after it ended unfavorably for him, escalated it further, attempted to get physical with with a octagon beast, who's training is light years out of his league, and then threatened to call the police. I've made several attempts to contact the owner, to no avail. It's almost as if the owners of Pete's Dueling Piano Bar doesn't want to know what their staff is up to. I'll never spend another dime in this establishment, and I suggest that you stay away from this place as well. They're only nice when they want something from you, after that, they turn into violent abusive hooligans. And the owner seems to want it that way, or at the very least is willfully ignorant.

The ambiance appears to be upscale and feels like a speakeasy. At the back of Parker Jazz club is a very colorful bar, which is something you might likely see in New Orleans, LA. The place is charming, cozy and welcoming. In addition, it is important to note there is a parking garage across the street and ample street parking. Performances range from jazz and swing to Latin influenced sets and special themed nights, featuring both local and touring musicians. It is great to find a venue like Parker Jazz Club that offers live music other than primarily rock and country western music. Drink service is available along with a food menu...limited primarily to pizza. It is a great jazz spot!

I like the small candles on the tables. I'd recommend to book before hand since seats fill fast especially for popular themed shows. They serve pizzas and some drinks but it's nothing to write home about. Music is where is at!!

There were a couple of other rooms in the place, affording a little more privacy and intimacy if that's your thing. The "wine bar" has just that... wine! The wine list is a thoughtful collection of wines curated from the US and around the world by the owner Taylor. It's also a piano bar, where Andy, the co-owner and husband, plays fun sets of sing along music! We shared glasses of champagne and cava inside, with a "sweet and salty" bowl, a combination of popcorn, stick pretzels and dark chocolate chips. It was a fun combination! The wines were good, hat tip to the champagne... LOL When it was time for the event to begin, we moved outdoor to the very chilly front porch, but heaters and blankets provided by the wine bar kept us cozy. Delightful evening chatting with the various folks who came and sat outside with us. More champagne and popcorn keep things lively! It was a fun evening, and Cuvee was very hospitable. Taylor and Andy have created a very inviting space (the chairs could be more comfortable... LOL), where guests can spend a few minutes or a few hours enjoying wine, music and singing. The more the merrier! We'll definitely get back by Cuvee! PS There is an air b-n-b loft room for rent upstairs, looks really cute, cozy and comfy. Check it out on their website. We may try that next time we're in town.
