The show started off pretty hilarious. They were engaged with the crowd, making jokes, pulling people up on stage…it was great! I usually really enjoy myself here. My last visit though was not that great. We went after dinner for my sisters birthday, I wrote a request for her to be pulled up on stage THREE TIMES, all together I think the cash equaled about $55…..and yet she was never pulled up. We were sure to write that it was her birthday on each slip….BUT…the same bachelorette was pulled up on stage on four different occasions and another birthday girl was pulled up for a song….then I decide to just settle for them playing one of her favorite songs…we paid for the song again…THREE TIMES…and it was never played. Songs that had less money attached was played first, I’m assuming because that’s the type of music the pianist liked…So basically I wasted around $85 on requests that were never fulfilled. I’m not made of money. In the beginning they state that if you have more money attached to your request then it will be played first, apparently that only counts if they like the song. Also, the drinks were watered down or tasted like pure sugar. Stick with beer if you do decide to go. If you are a fan of Nirvana or Guns and Roses then you’re golden, that’s what they really stuck to.

I love this dueling piano bar! This spot is under new ownership and theyve totally changed up their game; they now offer an awesome happy hour that runs later than any other restaurant Ive seen; $4 drinks from 6:00-7:30pm, which makes it an awesome option to head to after work, when everyone elses happy hour is already over! The dueling piano show is A+ and so much fun...youre guaranteed a good time and more than a few laughs any time you walk through the door for a show. Its also an awesome live music venue and theyre changing up their schedule to include live music performances, weeknight karaoke, and other events in addition to their Thursday-Saturday night dueling piano show. Definitely one of the best new places for Seattle nightlife! Is perfect for groups, and is a must-see spot for all my friends who come to town for a visit. My new favorite spot :)

....because who doesnt love a dueling piano bar!?! This place is great! Beautiful interior - contemporary colors that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The piano players are great! Its easier to list what they dont play than what they do! Not only are they musically talented, they are funny! The show is great. It is an all request show; the audience crafts it as the night goes by. The wait and bar staff are top notch! Our waitress was attentive and really fun. The food was yummy! Also, check out their special drink menu. If youve got something to celebrate - birthday, bachelorette party, promotion, ANYTHING - come here and do it. AND, if you want the extra special touch to your night, reserve the VIP area! Its awesome! We had a great time!

If you are into sing a longs or u just feel like having a night out with your friends where everyone can be a little silly than this is your place. Keys on Main is a dueling piano bar located just outside of downtime seattle. The atmosphere is lively and there are a lot of drinks flowing. People are singing along to some of the great piano hits and some not so great piano hits (Taylor Swift anyone). Cover charge is $5 on the weekend and the Piano players accept tips to play songs that you request. But no need to request music if you dont want to. Its funny just to get a table, a few drinks and enjoy the good and bad song choices of everyone else.

Clean and freshly painted walls prevent the lounge from feeling dingy and creepy, like some piano bars. Pours are a bit weak, music is turned up loud enough to make your ears ring. Piano players are funny and know a wide variety of songs, from country music to hip hop. The songs are nominated by guests, who bring up selections with cash. The fees arent cheap - $10 might get your song played, but $11 might beat your song and play a different song. $100 will guarantee that your song will be played at its fullest length. Great for parties where you dont want to speak to each other at all and dont mind hearing cover songs.

There are a few dueling piano bars in Seattle, but keys on main (formally chopstix) has a great happy hour and the food is always spot on. Whenever my friends from out of town come into Seattle I always say that this is at the very least a stop we make while venturing through all of the Seattle nightlife. They always play awesome songs and it always ends up being a comedy show too. If youre coming into Seattle, stop by keys on main for a great time!!

Thursday night is ladies night! They dont have food but if youre having a party you can bring your own. Drinks are good and ive never had a hard time getting them as long as you go to the bar. The piano men are great but all the songs I want them to play they dont know. They did let me choose a new song though. If you want them to play your song faster give them $6 +

Première fois dans un piano bar... EXCELLENT!! Merci pour cette soirée mémorable! First time in a piano bar... AMAZING!! Thank you guys for this unfogettable night!

Quite the place for a birthday party. Music is loud, beer selection is okay, but the drinks take awhile to actually taste like theres alcohol in them. Great for big groups that are organized and have everyone there by 8:45, otherwise, dont count on getting in. Musicians are awesome, but I cant believe they didnt know Beast of Burden!

Not only was I overcharged on my card but so was a friend. We both have called and left several messages and have written emails but no response! Apparently its Keys On Mains policy to steal from and ignore their customers! I knew we should have gone to 88 Keys instead. How blatantly disrespectful of a business!

Keys on Main is the BOMB! Their happy hour is the latest in Seattle. It goes every day until like 7:30. I got 2 AMFs for $4 each. Awesome! Their food was pretty awesome too. When you go, make sure to stay later for the Dueling Piano Show. Their piano players are dope.

Freakin awesome good time! I spent too much money putting a stop to all the country music requests haha. The musicians are super talented and great showmen. And the crowd makes it so fun too. Service is attentive and the drinks kept coming (maybe too much).

This place is a really good time to sit back, relax, have a few drinks and sing a lot of songs everyone knows with your best buds. Its also a great idea to throw a few dollars at the pianists to start a good old fashioned rivalry between musical genres!

Not my cup of tea. I love the piano but this was super silly and raunchy. It almost became a bidding war to get a song you wanted played. A $5 tip wasnt enough, they mocked it and moved on. My friend did somewhat enjoy herself but I wasnt into it.

Awesome night out, the guys on the piano are great performers and musicians, and are really funny. Bar service can be slow but the range is good. Venue could be a little bigger but it would probably just keep filing up.
