Aussie Rules can get wild on weekends as women take to table tops to clap their hands and stomp their feet to live music provided by the dueling pianists. You usually have to call a week or more in advance for reservations to the place. It's become quite popular with just about every age group and the place fills with cheers and laughter as the guys hit the keys.
It's a lively, high energy show. The guys (three pianists actually, who don't really duel but work in shifts) keep the energy flowing all night long as they cut though standard piano classics and even try other things like metal and rap on the piano. A big part of the show is taking requests and that gets everybody into it. The guys capture a strange vibe in this place through live music that you usually never experience in a bar setting.
No idea why they call it Aussie Rules; the menu is confused about its nationality and the pianists have nothing to do with Australia. The acoustics in the large room are terrible, but it somehow adds to the party atmosphere. Somehow they pump it up and keep the music sounding amazing.
This is a great place to take someone from out of town or if you haven't been, take yourself. If you like live music and a good show, this is the place.
