Pete's Dueling Piano Bar was an unexpected (and entertaining) stop for us. 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.

Sing us a song…read more... Went to Kalahari with a friend for the TPS annual meeting. After a long day, we decided to go to Redd's Piano Bar and Lounge for a drink and to enjoy some music. So much fun! Ordered a drink at the bar. They have mocktails that are not on the menu, so you have to ask. The hibiscus mocktail was so delicious and a deal at $4. My friend enjoyed her "grownup" hibiscus cocktail, too. So much fun to sing rounds of Piano Man, Sweet Caroline and Shout, that we came back the next day after another day of conferencing and closing down the adults only, Grotto Swim Bar, at the waterpark. Lose Yourself, the first time I've ever heard/sang a rap song at a piano bar. A great place to unwind after a long day of learning at Kalahari. Thanks for the music and the complimentary round of hibiscus mocktails on day 2. Can't wait to go back next year.

Just a heads up, those tables were all reserved when we got there, so definitely call ahead if you want a seat, otherwise you'll likely be standing in the back.

From the street level, you walk down steps to enter the club. This basement club delivers an authentic jazz experience. The dim lighting, narrow long room, and close seating create an intimate atmosphere. Live jazz musicians are hosted every night of the week, often with multiple sets, featuring a mix of local musicians, rotating house bands, and visiting musicians. Because of the tight space, you are always close to the stage. Tonight's headliner was the Concept Orchestra. Cover tonight was $7. Cocktails range $14-16. The room was pretty tightly packed creating positive vibes.

The stage is a little weird angled relative to the audience but I guess that's a space constraint.

If you are looking for a relaxed spot in Austin to beat the heat, grab a drink, and catch some amazing live tunes, Elephant Room is a fantastic place to spend an evening.

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.

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.

I know nothing about this, but thank you for the heads-up on it. I haven't experienced it, but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened. - The owner is Taxi, he plays the drums at the bar. His job is to engage the audience. Don't complain when you are being encouraged to join in, just join in. Don't want to join in? Sit in the back of the bar. - I was here when it was J's Bistro, and when J's actually opened. Yes, I'm an alumnus. It's the same thing, but with a different owner. That can change things, but it seems like he's trying to open the bar up for more interesting events; bands, open mic night, etc. Again, it's just like J's so don't compare the two like their ever so different. - It's a bar people, not a 5 star restaurant. - It's also in a college town, so it's not the same expereince when you're not in your mid to early twenties. My sister, brother-in-law, my best friend, and I return every year for homecoming and always come to Taxi's, formally J's, for some fun and drinks. We've even adopted a tradition, which Taxi and the piano player(s) don't like but a $20 encourages them to play the song anyway. We don't order food, but when I went to school in San Marvelous I wasn't exactly impressed with anything. Thankfully, the "bistro" has been removed, because this was never a bistro to begin with. It does get crowded, and I've seen this place so packed that it's pointless to move. Last year, 2012, it started out crowded until the bar crawl group of drunken frat boys and sorority girl left. Only then were we able to find a table. We mostly laugh it off because we were all young on campus once, only I wasn't a drunken idiot and hopefully they avoid this place when I'm there. I don't like the smoke. I haven't smoked in 3 years. It irritates my eyes, it inflames my sinuses, and I stink. I understand that there are smokers, but until they change the laws down there I'll just have to suck it up for one night a year. It would be nice if there was no smoking indoors. We have experienced poor service, but it's a bar and they don't hire career servers/bar tenders...unless they do now. You just do your best to remember who your server is, and try to close out before the mad rush at the end of the night. Sometimes you will get a great server, so tip them well. This place is fun, but being in a college town you have to deal with some compromises. It's nostalgic for me to go here, and I have stories from back in the day as well, so we try to go for homecoming. One thing I'd like them to do is learn other songs, or newer songs. I do get tired of hearing the same stuff. CHEERS!
