A dueling sing-along piano bar? I'm so there! If you're a fan of live karaoke, then you're going to love this place even more!
The Big Bang is located sub-street level below Hooters (nice combo, right?) - you can't miss the neon sign. Get here before 10pm to get a seat at one of the tables up front next to the stage. The place gets pretty packed later on at night. It was so much better to be right up in the action.
The musicians are super talented. The crowd gets them to "BANG THIS" - by requesting songs on cocktail napkins (include a few bucks as a tip to make sure they play your song). I don't know how they do it, but they know all the lyrics and the music to every song. How I wish I had a database like that in my head. They played everything from Billy Joel, Journey, Bon Jovi to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cee-Lo Green and Sublime. Sometimes all four pianists were on stage, but two of them would hop onto the drums and bass and play together as band. It was really amazing!
Drinks are ok, crowd is really diverse, and on some nights there's a cover but there are daily specials. But you really can't hate on this place - it is SO much fun! We ended up staying there the entire night. I think every party should have dueling pianos. In fact, I think I might consider having them at my wedding some day!
