    Great atmosphere and the musicians are amazing. We enjoyed every second of it and we will be back. Great way to spend a Friday night. They are open on Friday and Saturday nights right now. They are very covid safe and doing all they can to be open.

    Amazing place. All different types of music. They take request. Get your seats before they fill up. First time here. Nothing like this at home. Live music and dueling pianos. Needed somewhere to relax and luckily I found them gem. Promise you’ll be singing by the end of the night.

    I enjoy going to piano bars! Went to Pete's in Austin and Fort Worth back to back nights. Pete's in Fort Worth is much nicer than Austin, more seating/standing room so it's not over crowded like Austin. They both have different rules on cover charges. Musicians were very good and played a variety of genres. If you have never been to a piano bar they are worth going to.

    It's always a great time here to meet the talented people on the piano. The atmosphere is always amazing, drinks are a little expensive, but a great experience nonetheless. Definitely a new favorite place for When I visit the city. Also happy to have made this the 1000th review of the bar. Cheers 🥂

    This place is great. I have been several times, and the people I go with always love going here. The music is great and I am impressed by the musicians. They keep things lively and are very creative in how to involve the crowd. The drinks are good and the staff is friendly. Sometimes, it is super crowded, and sometimes, it is not. Honestly, both are fun.

    Great place, just as much fun as the Austin location! Great space, lots of tables, delicious drinks, musicians on point.

    We intended to go to this establishment after a wedding on 12/30 around 10:30 pm. We arrived in various groups to Pete’s Dueling Piano bar where the bouncer turn some away for assuming we had too much alcohol prior to arriving. The bouncer was extremely ugly and made one of the potential patrons cry. While determining where to go instead, the bouncer also turn away another group of potential patrons because the same assumption. The bouncers seemed more interested in harassing people than anything else. I will never return to this establishment and nor will I ever recommend it! This was the most ridiculous thing I have experienced in all of my travels.

    This place was one of the most fun places I've had with a piano bar. They are really interactive and super talented. I hope that I can make it back here someday because it was definitely the spot to go on a weekend. The drinks were really good too and I hope to enjoy it again soon.

    First time here and had a blast! Call ahead and reserve a table if you can...or bribe your way to one like we did 😉

    Great atmosphere. Really good pricing. Totally recommend for a night out. Knocked off a star because the lady in the women’s restroom was incredibly rude for no reason. I was asking her a question and she rolled her eyes at me. I was not rude or drunk. Other than that, everyone was nice. Be prepared to bring big tips for song requests.

    The piano players were OK, but the food is DEFINITELY 'bar food.' My recommendation is to eat before you arrive. The environment is fun 😊 Please be polite to the wait staff, some are new. Oh, the piano players request that the audience write their song requests on the paper on the table and turn them in, but mine was never played. We stayed through 3 rotations and noticed that they played songs if you tip.... I didn't know that initially. Anyway, it was something different for our group.

    We were there for a private event, with a very large crowd. Everybody was having a good time. The performers were obviously very good. In this Texas heat we were very glad the AC was working good. Both of the bars next door were struggling to keep cool, but Pete's was still very comfortable even with a full crowd. Even though there was a bit of a line bar service was very fast with good selections.

    accidentally stumbled upon this hidden gem while wandering downtown. We showed up just 10 minutes before it kicked off, not having a clue about what awaited us. Let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! We had the most exhilarating time, rocking out to some epic old tunes. The crowd engagement and humor kept the energy sky-high. Counting down the days until our next visit – it was that good!

    If you like to sing to classic songs and drink - this is the perfect place. Came with a birthday party group but everyone was so friendly, you could come alone and have a good time. The drinks that came free with our package were rather weak, but the ones after that were typical. Bathrooms are typical bar ones: small, not that clean, and definitely not enough toilets. Also, when you walk by the men's, you get to see them peeing in the urinals. Yuck! (Who thought of that layout.) The bar is upstairs but there's an elevator if anyone needs it. We sat right in front of the stage. Great seats but you are so crammed in there, wouldn't be bad a little farther back. The mics and music is really loud so even if you can't see, you will have no problem hearing and singing along. It's a full night show. I think they go until 2a. We left at 12a (got there at 9p), 4 different musicians and they also play electric guitar and drums! If you aren't in the mood to let your hair down and sing, this may not be your thing. However, there was some foul language and GD was used once. Not a fan of that. (Hard to go anywhere anymore where it isn't.) Would I go again? Maybe.

    Every time my wife and I visit here we have a great time. It is fun getting involved with the crowds and singing along to different genres of music. I would recommend a visit to anyone looking for a lively night out.

    This bar is ridiculous. I’ve been in multiple times with my fiance with no issues. We came in on a Thursday night with our friend, went to the bar, my friend and I ordered a drink and shot. Served. We go back up after 30 minutes and ask for a second shot. Mind you, we’ve been to dinner, wanted somewhere fun to hang out. The short bearded bartender tells us “hey I don’t feel comfortable serving you two” I don’t get it, no problem, we’ll take a couple waters. My fiance goes to the bar and ask for a rumple it’s served. 20 min later we go to tab out and my fiance and I ask for a shot, served. Our friend, who hasn’t been drinking, I ask for a shot. Denied. We are service industry. We understand telling customers no. There was no reason for him to deny our friend. Bartender discriminates. We were coming out to check out for a Bach party. But they will never get our business again. The guys playing piano were great and fun. Bartenders, odd how I go to the bar with my friend and get denied.but I go to the bar with my fiance;, we’re served.

    10/10 if you are reading this, GO!! This place was an entire party. We got their at 7 and the show started just after 8. It was non stop 100 mph hour entertainment. They have great drinks and a good party food. I can not wait to do this again

  • 5/5 Eddie B. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want to burst out in song, literally, come to Pete's! Tons of audience interaction. They play ALL the songs everyone knows. Going with a group is almost a must but would be just as fun solo. There is alcohol for purchase, but no food. Have a nice dinner in the city, then grab a drink and bust out in song at Pete's. Highly recommend!

  • 3/5 Jennifer R. 5 months ago on Google
    So fun celebrating my nephew 21st bday. However, gave them lots of song requests and cash… when asked to sing a specific song the shorter piano man player was very rude to our group of 8. He could have tried to be funny but instead just came across as a jerk. We all left.

  • 5/5 Belinda S. 2 years ago on Google
    My family surprised me with the VIP package and it was amazing. Drinks were great. Been here 3 times & they always are great. Thanks for making wonderful memories.

  • 4/5 Christina T. 9 months ago on Google
    If you are looking for a place to have fun where they interact with the audience this is it. Very entertaining. There is a cover charge. Very crowded. Hard to get a seat unless you have a reservation. They lose a star though... because sometimes they take your money and do not ever play your song. So unless you're dropping $50-100....don't expect your song to get played. It was for my girls birthday.... so that was a bummer.

  • 4/5 Sarah Z. 8 months ago on Google
    Our group had a lot of fun. Downside- 2 male comedians made repeated vulgar sexual jokes, even though it seemed obvious that the large majority of us were disgusted with it. On and on and on. Eww. Music was great though, they are all very talented. The female singer especially was phenomenal (can't remember her name!) Watch your drink orders though, some are $17 (12 oz), a friend paid $80 for 5 drinks. No prices on menu. No food served. Free parking lot around the corner was great.

  • 5/5 Chelsea C. 6 months ago on Google
    It was such a fun and lively place! Performance was awesome. Went out with the girls for a Bachelorette, and we had a great time. Mixed drinks were really good!

  • 5/5 Brisa O. 1 year ago on Google
    I went there for the first time ever and wow I was impressed at how engaged everyone was singing and how the pianist can play any song you request 🤩 if you want to sing along and have a good time then I recommend this place! The only thing is that if you want to dance there’s no space for all of that bc there’s tables and chairs everywhere

  • 5/5 Maria M. 2 years ago on Google
    If you've never been to a piano bar then this is your sign to visit! Arrive on time! Grab a drink and a few friends-or go on your own nothing wrong with that! You'll have a GREAT time!

  • 4/5 Rebecca R. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun experience, great songs to sing a long too and have a blast with ya girls! I will say, the drinks are weak and expensive. Pregame before you go lol.

  • 4/5 Duane 2 years ago on Google
    Cool place to spend a few hours. The musicians were good and they had a great sense of humor. If I'm ever back in Fort Worth, I'm definitely coming back to Pete's. The reason for only 4 stars instead of 5 is that I could never get a waitress to help me. She would wait on tables near me, but would never seem to come over where we were sitting.

  • 5/5 Mike L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great venue. So fun and the entertainers were all fantastic. Very talented group for sure. Service was ok, but admit had a couple really good old-fashioned's!!

  • 5/5 Amanda H. 1 year ago on Google
    I went 5 years ago for my birthday and had a great time. I returned tonight to celebrate my birthday again and had a great time again. The staff was great, friendly and helpful. I would recommend making a reservation for your party/table a week or more in advance because it's a very popular place and they get packed quickly. It's very easy to request a reservation online. I even had to change my reservation to a higher number of people, all done via email with the staff. It was such an easy and simple process. Again, I highly recommend Pete's Dueling Piano Bar!!!

    Wish I had taken some photos of this place to add with my review, but sadly, I did not. Wasn't too sure as to how much fun our trip was going to be when first described as to what we were going to see, but after going, I can assuredly say that a trip here is absolutely worth it, hands down. The 2 entertainers were more than great. There wasn't a song they couldn't play, nor a saying they didn't have for any comment that came up. It's definitely a night to put down in the books. If you have never been, do yourself a favor and plan a trip to make it. I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. We'll be back to see this show for sure. Thanks for a memorable evening!!

    I have been to Pete's twice and it was a great time! It is very entertaining and you laugh all night! The service is great and they keep the drinks coming!

  • 4/5 Dating and G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very crowded. Lucky my friends saved me a seat. Folks standing everywhere but all having a good time. Will definitely go back and recommend it to all if you haven't experienced this...you should.

    Let me just say this is a super fun place and we had a great time. No one in our party of four had never been and we weren’t sure what to expect. We paid for VIP, which I highly recommend because seating is close to the stage. The entertainers were great and very engaging with the audience. We didn’t have any food, only drinks. Drinks are super expensive and low quality, dive bar type drinks with a lot of cheap mixers. Service was horrible. We ordered several drinks and it took way too long to get them. We asked three times and two hours later someone, not our waitress brought us 3 (for four people). We didn’t see our waitress for long stretches. You are expected to tip the performers HEAVILY. It is mentioned at least every few minutes. This is what the show is all about basically. Bottom line, we had a really fun time and will probably go back, but it is just a dive bar with fun entertainment. Don’t expect craft cocktails, comfortable seats and great service.
