General Info
From sing-along standards such as "Sweet Caroline " to newer party classics like "Baby Got Back," to their own comedic originals, the pianists play to the crowd, keeping the bar a cacophony of yelled lyrics and laughter. Request slips are found on all the tables - music ranges from classic rock and heavy metal to pop.
Every hour it's "Showtime" as two new pianists take the stage, the others move to bass guitar and drums, and the staff jumps onto the bar for a show. Be sure to sing along - they've been known to spotlight crowd members who aren't participating and demand a solo performance! The party atmosphere is fueled by their signature beverage "buckets" - 86 oz of intoxicating Long Island iced teas, blue margaritas, or hurricanes - to share with friends through long neon straws. Drink specials change nightly, ranging from discounted shooters to bottled beer buckets. The kitchen serves classic bar food like pizzas, sandwiches and appetizers until an hour before close.
While the crowd sings along, brave souls may venture onto stage to sing and dance with the band (fee varies on weekdays and weekends). And then there's "You Sing it Sundays" where customers can sing with the band for free. Thursdays are college nights, where an ID gets you in with no cover. Arrive early on weekends; there's usually a long line to get in. Reservations are accepted to reserve tables - it's a very popular location for birthdays and bachelorette parties. Howl at the Moon also rents out portions or the entire bar for private events.
The Perfect Choice For: Birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, conventions, after-work events, friends in from out of town, a night to let loose and have fun
