Walked in waited to grab a booth, finally did then it all went downhill from there...wait staff ignored our table, clearly walked by us three time, no staff to buss the table (sat there with a dirty table for a half hour). We finally got the waitress to clear off table for her to jus ignore us some more(obviously she's not working for money here, must be her good looks she's paying her bills with) finaly got her to the table ordered one drink ciroc berry cosmo two limes, she came back with drink in hand no napkins I was charged 10.07 for this drink, hour later still being ignored we finally recieve another waitress ordered same drink and she comes back with a bill of 13.25, umm one hour and my same drink is 3.00 more? Needless to say I won't be coming back to this establishment EVER! Royal Oak has become the below mediocre hang out for young adults looking for a good time too bad they're too young to realize how much they're being ripped off!

Their website hasn’t been updated so there is a cover charge even if you have dinner reservations, despite what their website says. The menu on the website isn’t what their actually serving. Our server said she didn’t actually work there, she was just helping out. Food was either over cooked or cold. Not sure how you mess all that up but they managed to do it. They’ve crammed as many tables into the space as possible and the rest of the operation shows similar problems. Not my first time here but probably the last.

Don’t let the new name fool you, this is Tequila Blue and one of the worst bars in Royal Oak. Go ahead and look at the reviews under its old name, you’ll find they’re subpar disappointing. We were there for Wine Stroll and the servers were very rude. They also served the cheapest bottle of wine out of all 14 restaurants. Walk a bit further down the street and go to Bar Louie, it’s way better than this place.

The entertainment was good. Everything else just wasn't. We arrived within 30 min of opening. The bathrooms were disgusting. Old used toilet paper stuck to the ground in the men's room. You could tell it has been a while since Anything was cleaned. I got a "wagyu" burger. Ordered it medium. Came out extremely well done and tasted like old grease. Ordered a titos and lemonade, received a peach something. So I ordered a beer and my second one tasted like it was years old and flat. Told the waitress she said what do you want me to do. I said I would like a different beer. She took my beer and never came back for 25 min. Until we had to tell another waitress we wanted to leave. Then magically our waitress appeared with a bill. With all the messed up drinks and everything still on the bill. I was beyond done at this point. Just paid it and left. First And last time going there.

A place I would definitely revisit. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. The Staff was very accommodating. The two piano/vocalist made the experience exceptional. The Sunday brunch, was simple but delicious.

Good food, good service, good music. I can't give it a solid 5 stars because charging cover and $18 per small plastic cup of margarita is a bit much. Drop the cover charge and I think the value equation evens out.

I love the dueling. Such a great vibe. So much fun.

If it was possible to leave 0 stars I would. That Bad...

First time there last night ( 12/31/22) and this place was awesome ! Service was great, dueling pianos were amazing and the energy was top notch.

Drive an hour to enjoy Nee Years Eve. There is NO SEATING. chairs are stacked but will not allow people to use them. They eat OVER SOLD tickets!!!!!

This place is a lot of fun to go to with a group of friends. Make sure to reserve a spot in advance as it's not very big and gets very busy. There is a cover at the door. Parking is available in a paid lot across the street. Food is very good chips and dip appetizer is great for the whole table. Really enjoyed the burgers and flat breads as well. Bring cash for the pianos or have venmo ready.

I was pleasantly surprised how great this place was. I don't mind paying a cover charge for entertainment so i don't know why others had a problem. The music was really good, they are so talented they can play anything. We ordered the steak and it was delicious. The only thing that was odd is they serve all the drinks in really small plastic cups other then that no complaints. We'll definitely return to this place it was a lot of fun.

So my husband made reservations for us for Valentine’s Day they did not mention seating would be with others ! We both were very disappointed we didn’t enjoy our meal at all Covid still takes place and we weren’t even 4 feet apart very close I was upset they also had everyone water just filled in the cup n out to the open why others are close by talking around and over our cups very disgusting! My husband said his chicken was hard to cut and eat like it’s been plain out boiled my steak didn’t take great at all had a rubbish taste too it we also order two shots of Tito’s and it taste like sweet n sour mixed no liquor my valentines was not what we planned or expected at all very disappointed! And I don’t believe we will ever return to this place also we had a live piano show they piano ppl did not know the songs people were requesting and just messing over the songs and taking tips very unprofessional! Overall very dissatisfied!

My daughter and son brought me here for Mother's Day brunch. Food was OK, music was awesome! Our waiter, never ask us to go up and get our food, as we watched 90% of the people get asked to go get there food. We just got up in our own. I asked the waiter one question, after we got seated, he never replied to my question, we asked for salt and pepper, the waiter only dropped off pepper, had no care in the world. Terrible waiter..... Not so nice of a Mother's Day brunch, when your children was trying to make it a special day for me.

So much fun! Made dinner reservation for 12 of us! Try the giant Moscow mule! The piano players are so much fun! They brought our birthday girl up to the stage and sang with her up there! Such a. Great place for groups and a night out! See you again soon

Great experience. Had so much fun

Typically not my scene, went for a good friends birthday. Ended up having a great time with some decent eats. Our waiter was awesome! The show was great, and even had the birthday girl up on stage for a song and dance!

Very disappointed in the service here. I’m sure this place is used to a crowd during the weekend nights, but they don’t act like it. We got there for an 8:30 reservation and no one even said a word to us for almost 20 minutes. Then we finally got our table and sat for almost another 20 minutes without any server ever talking to us. So we left and that all cost us $10 in getting through the door. Waste of time and money and very disappointed. Won’t be returning or recommending this place.

A really, really good time. The dueling pianos were GREAT!! The players were awesome and kept the audience into it all night.

Love coming to this bar on dueling piano nights. The show has always been good, but it has gotten that much better since the remodel. The pianists are talented, entertaining, and just fun to watch. Definitely hard to get a table so reservations are a must on weekends, but that’s not a problem. Management and staff are great as well. Will continue to be back!

This was my first experience at a piano bar and my husbands second. Unfortunately we were both disappointed. We were both expecting so fun banter between the pianist, but it was basically just requested karaoke...where they only play your songs if you tip them(it looked like the going rate was $5). We were celebrating a special anniversary and I requested (and tipped) to hear the same song twice but never heard it. Eventually we gave up and left disappointed. The food was ok. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries. I ordered the fajitas which probably would have been good if they weren’t cold. There were several of my husbands favorite beers on the menu, unfortunately though they did not have any of them actually available. It wasn’t an overall bad experience, just not great. Had the tab not been so outrageously high I probably wouldn’t have even wrote a review, but I hate paying that much for a pretty disappointing meal and experience. It’s unfortunate too, because we were both really looking forward to it.

Really love this place! Our server Jonathan was amazing and exceeded all our expectations. Piano players are fun but if you want to get your song played make sure you’re early or they won’t play it.

This place is utterly BRILLIANT! From the staff ,to the entertainment, to the drinks, to the small town hospitality! Hubby and I stopped by this weekend after a late night comedy show elsewhere. We intended to go to a different bar, but our uber driver dropped us on the corner, so we decided to go here instead, upon seeing all of the smiling faces outside. And right away we were blown away! From the bouncers opening the doors with welcoming smiles, to the staff welcoming us in, to the phenomenal entertainment and piano playing. The vibe and mood of all the staff was hands down impecible. We were treated with the utmost small town vibes, like they had known us for a lifetime. We chatted it up, danced like there was no tomorrow, and made new friends that may last a lifetime. The manager was utterly incredible and welcoming, we had long, hilarious, and amazing chats with him before even finding out that he was management lol What an incredible way to welcome new comers! I was also introduced to some regulars that completely stole my heart! Once the downstairs closed down, we headed upstairs for the more "festive" type of vibe. At 34, I felt way out of place at first lol but it didn't take long with mingling, to meet some amazing people. We only get out a few times a year. But this place is absolutely on my list to come back to!!! If I could have given 10 stars, I would have! Thank you all for such an incredible night! It was hubby and I's first date night in FIVE YEARS! And you guys truly made it one to remember!!! So thank you 🥰

The Groupon allotted one appetizer ($9) two entrees ($13) and one dessert ($9.) That's $44 worth of food for the $35 I paid for the Groupon. We had a reserved table but they put us in the corner where we couldn’t see the show. The waitress came over after about 5 minutes. She told us she was our beer list but didn't tell us any of the options. I asked if they had anything specifically vegan or could be made vegan. She said, "No. Honey this is Mexican cuisine." I know vegan food can be hard to come by but obviously a salad or a side of vegetables wouldn't be difficult to put together. We ordered the Mexican fries as an appetizer (which turned out to be chili cheese fries.) We asked for half of the plate as it normally comes and the other half with just plain fries. They brought out 2 plates of fries, one as the regular Mexican fries and the other as cheese fries. Obviously cheese isn't vegan so I mentioned this to the waitress and said if there's nothing that can be done it's not a big deal. She said she was really busy (we were 1 of 5 tables in the entire restaurant) and had asked her manager to take care of this one for her. She said she would go back and get this sorted for us. We thought it was just a funny mix up that maybe the lines got crossed. We got a plain plate of unsalted fries a few minutes later. I ate these until I found a curly hair then decided I didn't need anymore fries. We were told the fries had been comped. We had been there for about 40 minutes before our entree order was taken. My husband ordered a pizza and I got the fajitas with no meat and no cheese. Our plates came out and there was cheese on it. I figured I had already caused enough trouble so I would just eat around it. The vegetables that came with it were mostly onions and a few peppers. They weren't salted or flavored at all and there was no salt and pepper on the table. It was incredibly flavorless and felt like a true sign of someone that is following a recipe rather than given the freedom to cook a well flavored meal. To be fair it all looked like pretty poor quality food to begin with. My husband got The Cali pizza which turned out to be more like a flatbread than a pizza. After 15 minutes with our entrees our waitress came over and noticed that we hadn't eaten much. She asked if everything was ok and my husband said he just wasn't into it. She pushed him for a bit more and he said "It doesn't taste good. I think muenster is a weird choice to put solely on a pizza." She said, "Well it's our house cheese. Let me go talk to my manager." We insisted it was really not a problem we were just ready for the check. A minute or two later the manager came out and frustratedly asked us what seemed to be the problem. We told him it really wasn’t a big deal we were just done with our food. He pressed us for more. My husband said it tasted like poor quality food and the way it was put together didn’t make sense taste wise. The manager said he was disappointed to hear that and he would comp 25% of the pizza. Then he turned to me, I was clearly not interested in discussing this again especially when I felt like I was being scolded. I told him about the hair in the fries and he said, “Yeah, we’ve already comped the fries for you.” As if I shouldn’t have mentioned the hair again. I told him about the cheese and he sort of brushed it off as if he realized he had already heard these issues before. He capped off our interaction by saying, “I’m really disappointed to hear you’re having such a bad time. We really never have stuff like this happen (the reviews say otherwise!) so I’m very surprised. Did you at least like the music?” We said sure just to make him leave but to be honest one dude was super rude. Neither were great singers and every song was played too fast to enjoy. The rude guy seemed to get upset that no one was singing along with him although there was a total of maybe 12 people in the whole restaurant? When we got our check it turned our we had only spent $33 which means it was actually $2 more to use the Groupon.

The website is VERY outdated! The posted menu on the website is not available, the food that we were served was mediocre at best. Canned cheese on the nachos instead of real cheese, pretzel sticks were tough and chewy as if they were microwaved. A cover charge in addition to our dinner reservation was required (also not mentioned on the website) $10 for men $5 for women. The dueling piano preformers were ok, not great, it was hard to identify many of the songs. The elevator was broken requiring disabled individuals to manage flights of stairs. The entire experience was disappointing, we won't be back.

Had a great time. Lots of fun, good singing and funny at times.

I planned a weekend away to Royal Oak for my husband’s birthday. These guys truly made the evening the best ever. We ended up needing a later time than our original reservation and they were SO accommodating. We showed up 1 hour after our reservation time. We said we’ll take whatever table you have no problem. They sat us immediately and then immediately a staff member came and offered to move us closer to the stage within 15min. So incredibly thoughtful. We were moved within 10min. The staff was SO attentive and friendly. We are floored at the service at this place. Absolutely off the charts incredible. Not to mention the show was fantastic as was the food. Highly recommend! Thanks again for the great night out!

If I could give Alex, Megan and team 6 stars, I would. Drinks and food was great, with no complaints (that is saying alot for me). We had the dueling pianos at the end of our event and the entertainers really made our event special. For the catered food, I recommend the shrimp kabobs and the portobello mushrooms appetizer.

Was a lot of fun. Jenna is amazing. She kept up with all our crazy selves. Great waitress. Tipped her well.

This place is a lot of fun! Just being there puts you in a good mood. The staff is friendly and efficient with getting you your order. There's lots of laughs to be had as the patrons sing along with the musicians. It does get pretty loud at times so you'll definitely have to speak up for conversation, but it's the place you'll want to be (:

We requested and tipped for 3 different songs that they could not play. It was definitely not a dueling piano type atmosphere. They did not play off each other, make jokes, put on a show, and barely worked to get the crowd involved. I have been to several dueling piano bars and this was by far the worst.

The reason why I gave it 2 stars is 3 reasons, I usually come here and enjoy my time, but yesterday, I didn't. The first reason is that at the entrance, we have been asked a racist question. The second, the waiter, blonde Sara, did not like my tip amount and gave me an attitude, and the third we ordered food, and I got stomach poisoning at night, I took 2 medicines to be able to sleep. I wish I can get my money back. This is an encouraging review, so the owner knows why the place is going downhill!

Had a blast! Everything about this place is great. The service, food, drinks, and the talent. Charles was a wonderful host. He checked on us multiple times to make sure we were having a good time. Our server was very sweet and made sure we were taken care of. The piano guys were hilarious, friendly, and so very talented. I could listen to them all day! They played a variety of songs, created fun banter between the crowd and other band members. If you are looking for something fun and engaging, definitely check this place out! Even if you are solo and just want to sit back and enjoy the show, check this out. Everyone we met here including staff and other patrons could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Hope to return again soon!

We love going to this Piano Bar. The people playing the instruments and singing are always fun to listen to entertaining. Love the music they sing. Get the crowds into it too. The food is decent. The drinks are okay but lots of choices on the menu. They need a small dance floor down on the main floor because people love to dance to the variety of music. There is an upstairs bar, dance floor and restrooms. The music was for the younger crowd and more just remixes. Very loud. Not for an older crowd. Parking is just behind the building or across a street but railroad tracks are right there too. Lots of other businesses nearby.

If you are looking for a fun non club experience go around 7p, the atmosphere is relaxed with an older late 20's and up crowd. Anytime after 9p is more of a club since there is an actual night club upstairs. It was a fun time, food was good. Coconut shrimp, the egg rolls and the wings are all delicious. Jen the bartender is the best! She makes delicious signature drinks, can't say enough about her!

This place had, by far, the best talent I've ever heard in a karaoke bar. Somewhat intimidating, but we had a great time. Awesome service from the bartenders and servers too.

We did an Master's event here for my company, and they were amazing! Easy to work with. We worked with both Megan and Charles throughout the day of event, and I could not have been happier! Good food, drinks and all the employees were happy to help! Great place to hold a private venue! Thank you!

The place was beautiful, the food was great, the music was good but it wasn’t dueling pianos it was just 2 people singing.

We had a time! Recommend for groups, parties and celebrations! Pack your patience as there was a wait for my table and food but the host was able to accommodate us. The lemon drop martini is a must try.

6/10/23: Stopped in for the piano bar to celebrate our friends birthday. Upon arrival we were greeted at the door by the security staff- they were fun and engaging. Once we entered, we didn’t have a reservation, we went to the bar to hang out, the bartenders were great and we enjoying the venue. A little while later I chatted with hostess, Avery, to inquire about seating options, and she went above and beyond to have us seated at a table, right up front, within about 10 minutes. We greatly enjoyed the piano and drummer performers and our server, Jenna, was fun and attentive. We had a great time! Thank you for a fun evening!

Great piano bar in the afternoons that turns into a club in the night.

This is a New Year's Eve review- Food was good. Seating was not adequate. Entertainment was great(as always) The terrible kicker was the promotion that it was sold out and they would not let people that hadn't bought a ticket to come in until midnight-Well that was a lie so everyone that payed $40 each got screwed, because by 9:00(or maybe earlier) they were letting people in by the dozens and soon you couldn't even get through to go to the bathroom because of all the people and also our $40 a person buffet was gone! And I am pretty sure there was no late night pizza(we left by then). Don't waste your time going here for this event-you will be highly disappointed!

An absolute amazing venue to hold a private corporate event! Alex and the team at 526 Main made our event special and were super accommodating throughout the whole planning process.

This isn't the same place it used to be. I was turned off as soon as I noticed the drums and guitar. Well so much for dueling pianos. I had a hard time hearing the piano over the drums. I thought this was a 21 and over crowd but there were kids at the 2 tables near me. All I heard was one of the kids tablet playing behind me. Now there's a cover charge no matter what time you go. Well at least the remodel looks nice.

Loved everything about this place except we had dinner reservations with no mention of a cover charge until we arrived at the door?! $5 for Ladies and $10 for men? That's a strange business model? Entertainment is good though and worth the $15, so whatever. They should at least warn visitors when they make reservations or maybe just sell tickets? Some people may take that unexpected cover charge from tips meant for the performers or wait staff, it's not fair, but you know it happens!

High quality entertainment, really a fun place

I enjoyed myself. It was interactive and funny. Evan was joking with the audience and everyone was laughing!

Had a date night here. It was a pretty good experience. My only complaint is how cramped it is and the price of drinks. The food was awesome, service was decent and the pianos were entertaining. We'll definitely be going back tho.

Always a good time, great drinks and food. Recommend for a night out or a business event.

These musicians know how to rock!!!

Reserve seats early! Bring your sing along song selections, and get your requests in early.

Good atmosphere good music good times!!

Great entertainment! Loved every minute!!

I went there with a group for a friend's birthday. I've never been there before. We had reservations for 8:30, but there was no seating for us when we arrived. I'm not sure what happened, but the place was packed to the point that I wondered if they were exceeding the licensed capacity. There were more people standing in there than were seated. After a 25 to 30 minute wait, some patrons left and some room was being made for our party to sit. I left as I found the crowded conditions and overly loud music uncomfortable. I would not recommend.

Very entertaining, drinks were good, and food was ok.

Booked 2 parties here, first one was great! Entertainment was amazing and the service was spot on.

Lots of fun

Great experience! The atmosphere is very laid back, and the pianists are awesome! Also Tommy is the bomb, make sure you get him a shot!

KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BAR TAB!!! We used a Groupon, Manager tried over-charging us with a line of B.S. The service (Justin) was great as was the show. Food was pretty good..... I'd go back, just dont like being taken advantage of.

Could have more wait staff, I could have had a couple more drinks, oh well. Two guys playing music were very good.

Tommy was awesome. Thanks for all your support!

Great environment. Went on a Thursday night and had an awesome time. Bartenders /staff were great

The food was priced high and just ok. Drinks were pricy. This would not be a problem if the piano players were actually entertaining. There was very little banter or dueling. It was really just "pay to hear a song played". The crowd was not engaged in the act. We went to a similar place in Pontiac years ago and this was no where near as much fun. Disappointed.

Fun place with okay music but if you are looking for good food better look for another place Staff was nice

Great time! Music was fantastic

Definitely a must! Lots of fun the piano players were amazing. Lots of crowd interaction!

Great entertainment! Awesome bartender, very fast. Definitely going back and bringing lots of friends to enjoy

Nice bouncers, drinks priced as you expect (so no complaint honestly), DJ had a good mix of modern pop, EDM, and rap songs. Overall a good time for my first time in this part of Detriot.

Pay for play, no real show despite paying a cover.

Great venue, and good entertainment.

Had a great time!!!!

Fast service

They gave us "old" menu's and then when the bill came said told us that those were the new prices. Some prices were double for sides. It's not about the price, it's about the principle. False advertising is what it is. The service wasn't the worst , but I wasnt the best either. Save your money and go to an honest establishment.

Excellent entertainment and great service... Food and drinks very good too. Will go back and recommend to friends and family.

Enjoyable experience to watch the piano players, but pretty pricey for what you get.

A HUGE HUGE shout-out to Amber! I was planning on going here all week and having a chaotic week I forgot to make reservations. When I messaged the company they got back to me immediately and said I could not select a later time because they were fully booked. Made other plans and missed a message from Amber saying that even though my reservation was for 5:30 she would hold my table for me until I got there! Unbelievable customer service and I can't wait to go there for the first time, again.😄

It was pretty be awesome!!!

It was okay but not great for sure. The drinks and food are overpriced. Food was not seasoned.

Great food, service and entertainment. Fun evening.

Carded me for being Brown. Most discriminating place I've ever been to.

Nice atmosphere

It was ok. The drinks are good but pricey and the food is good. Piano players are always cheezie but they did a good job and knew current songs to. Overall we had a good time just spent wayyyyyyy to much money on drinks.

Amazing show!
