👍 First time here. We had a blast. Met some really nice people. Table service was excellent. Amazing musicians. **Wish the uninvited girls would stay off the stage so people can actually watch the show.

    I've never had a bad time coming here. The music choices were fun and the artists are unique and can put their own spin on almost any song you want. How it works: You can request songs, but if you tip the musicians it will guarantee your music will get played. Bring groups or bring a date. I love this place!

    Get there early to get a good seat. The bar can get crowded, especially on weekends. Bring cash to tip the pianists. They rely on tips to make a living, so it's a nice gesture to show your appreciation. Be prepared to sing along and dance. The atmosphere is very lively, so you're sure to have a good time. Overall, I had a great time at The Big Bang Dueling Piano Bar and would definitely recommend it to others. It's a great place to go for a night of fun and entertainment.

    I checked this place out right before a Cleveland Browns game. It's really a nice venue with plenty of space. This would be ideal for large groups or parties. The restrooms were clean. All of the bartenders were great and very friendly. Unfortunately, I did not try the food on this visit. This place is in the flats. It's about a 10-minute walk from the stadium. There are multiple tvs, which makes this a great place to watch sports. There is an outdoor patio area as well.

    A LOT of fun!! The band is fantastic and they keep the place moving!! Drinks weren't cheap but that's the case at most bars these days I should add that the staff stays on top of things ....all while keeping a positive vibe going!

    What can I say about the Big Bang Dueling Pianos. If you want to have fun with your wife or significant other. This place will make you sing a long with the other people there. The atmosphere there is purely, electrifies you to there every beat of there instruments playing. A great place to go on a Date Night with your wife or significant other. They have two bars there. The work staff are always there to Take care of your drinks. The singers are really good on singing your requests. Restrooms are very clean. The Big Bang Dueling Pianos in Cleveland, Ohio is the perfect Date Night to Attend!!!

    Visited from Buffalo, NY this past weekend, great time and wonderful atmosphere. Not to mention, lost my coat and phone and the GM shipped them back with the quickness. I would give 100 stars if I could!!!!!

    Came here on a Friday night, got in early enough before the crowd showed up. Place is easily located in the beautiful and trendy FLATS neighborhood. Beware, parking is like $20 EVERYWHERE, if there’s a game going on – which there was. Staff was greatgood service with drinks, etc. Kept checking on us during the evening. Piano players (1 female and 2 males) were entertaining and talented. However, they were dropping F-bombs all night – and I wouldn’t recommend this for families who love to hear piano music. Didn’t eat any of the food there but it looked good. All in all it was a good show/performance. Just know that the crowd can be disruptive so take that into consideration

    Great bar with live music and good drink prices. The band takes requests and I didn't see them turn down a single song all night.

    The piano players were great! One of the most talented groups of players I've seen in one dueling piano bar in years. Lots of fun!

    What started as a great time, ended up being not so great. There was an intoxicated woman/customer on the stage the whole time we were there. She should have been asked to leave. It got to the point where half the patrons left. Drinks were pricey but bartender was friendly and efficient. The performers were outstanding.

    Made a reservation on November 25th for 10 ppl, no response from the email at all, to say that is was overbooked. Got down there and told me that they have been booked for a month now. So now I looked stupid in front of my ppl that I invited because Big Bang mgmt. couldn't send a quick email saying we have everything booked up. This was my favorite place but I'm pretty much done. If you like to be dissatisfied and disappointed, this is the place for you.

    Had a great time, music was fun and engaging. The servers were awesome, but wait for drinks was pretty long, and they didn't have any light up shots which was disappointing. Both minor inconveniences in the evening. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Kassie C. 1 year ago on Google
    A fun place to go for live music. The performers were excellent. We got there pretty early in the evening and found 2 open chairs on the back wall, but no available tables(that weren't "reserved"). We stayed a couple hours, and as the night went on it got packed(most people standing). We ordered several drinks from the bar and I'm not even sure if they have food. Pricey for drinks, but a fun night out.

    Came on Friday. Apparently less busy than Saturday which we liked a lot. Fun, great band, chill vibes. Highly recommend.

    This is my absolutely favorite place in Cleveland. When I first moved here from WV I got a Lyft to the mall and the bouncer for BigBang was my driver he told me about the place and it's amazing the staff are awesome and it's great live music.

    Drinks and service were good and fast. Not a lot of seating space but the atmosphere while standing up was very energetic and fun. Had a nice time drinking and singing loudly.

  • 4/5 Ilona K. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a fun and lively atmosphere though a little too loud sitting so close to the stage. Enjoyed the party and congratulations to all those celebrating.

    Music covers from the band were great. Their talent is obvious. The servers were out and about and attentive to the table tho there was barely standing room. I wouldnt mind going again.

    I'm not a big bar person, so my review may not be particularly relevant, but if you like the type of place where the music is so loud you can't hear the person next to you and really really like overpaying for alcohol, this place might be your thing.

  • 4/5 Vince A. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty cool place, stopped in on a Saturday evening at the beginning of December, it was festive, fun and good music!

  • 3/5 Jason B. 6 years ago on Google
    This place is a lot of fun. And the staff is amazing. The music is the stuff to sing along too, the only thing is the musicians are just okay. Some of the music sounded..off.
