Was visiting Austin with an old friend, and we thought we’d stop in here on a Saturday night. It was soooo fun! We met amazing people and had a blast. The music was awesome, the drinks were good, and it definitely was the highlight of the trip for me.

Tried to find the same crowd on Sunday, but that didn’t happen… (turns out, people don’t party on Sunday, even in Austin…)

If you have never been to a dueling piano bar, you really need to go to this one. You’ll find yourself singing, yelling, dancing. You need it =)

Would relive this evening over and over if I could.

So cool and so unique! Love this place and need to bring it to sf or something. Came here before dinner around 9:30 and it was already packed. There were a few bachelorette parties going on taking all the seats so they probably reserved them. It’s $12 a person to get in and not knowing what this place was like, I thought damn. After tho, so worth it! I was here for an hour before going to dinner and they stamp you for re entry. There are bleachers in the back where you can see everything. It’s a fun concept to sing those glee songs but it really depends on the players who make it awesome. I forget their names but they reminded me of Collin and Ryan from Whose Line is it Anyway. You can request songs and I’m not sure if it’s by tip or you pay. They sell legit Jell-O shots- jello in an actual shot haha. Fun times for the night and you can wander 6th street after. This was probably my most favorite place in Austin.

I had an awesome experience here last weekend as part of a Bachelorette Party. In fact, there were a lot of Bachelorette Parties there that night – it is a fantastic place to have one! Although we were up in the bleachers and did not have a table, (as apparently they book up early!) it was still a total riot. The bleachers were actually fantastic, as we had a great unobstructed view of all the fun going on below.

When I got there, I was the first of my party to arrive. The guys at the door were more than comprehensive on explaining to me the reservation and table situations, (everything was booked) and where to sit was available, how everything worked, and when the show started. It was really nice and helpful that they were so informative.

The four guys who traded off playing the piano were energetic, fun, and hilarious – they really got the crowd going and did different things like calling people on stage, changing lyrics to songs in a variety of different ways – and were just awesome with knowing every song, and playing/singing them well. The only two things I would have liked to see change were 1) The college fight song thing went on way too long – the amount of money spent on who’s song would play was obscene, ($200+!!!) and 2) Up in the bleachers, there weren’t any song request forms – we had to ask for them, it would be nice to have some up there somehow that are easily accessible for people.

Our waitress up in the bleachers was Shelby and she too, was awesome. Nice, fun, learned our names and kept our tabs straight. She checked on us constantly and was easy to find when we all wanted to close out. The bar was cranking out fantastic drinks as well – their drinks weren’t watered down and tasteless but well blended and full of alcohol.

This is a great, rowdy, crazy bar that is tons of fun. It was really nice to have an electric atmosphere at a bar – a bar with something to do and a big show going on that was easy to participate in. I’m giving ecstatic stars here for a fantastic place. I’ll be back at some point!

Pete,s is the sort of place i take my visiting friends to if they want to experience a wild night out in austin.
I love piano bars and usually go to the more quite sit around the piano type were the lone pianist plays your favourite ballard as you and the quests sing along
,Pete,s however is differant very loud and hot always packed to the walls and the two musicians if you are lucky play your request. thats why its called dueling pianos, you request a tune offer up your cash and then the two banter around a bit and try to get other patrons to pay more than you did not to play your request real fun and a very special place for a party night out .
drinks reasonable priced service is satisfactory but there is a cover charge the whole experiance unforgetable .
not for the easily offended as it get later in the evening the songs .jokes and general conversation get more risque dont take grandma 🙂
