Reviews for Elaine's Dueling Piano Bar in Asheville, NC
Great atmosphere, lots of fun. Good drinks, elevated prices but still worth it. Bring cash for song requests, let down your... guard, sing off key, have fun. Read more
Not to be missed. The Dueling Pianos experience at the Omni Grove Park Inn, is truly amazing. Fun, furiously entertaining,... non-stop music by a dynamic duo who worked the room seamlessly on our visit on Friday June 10th. They take written suggestiondirectly from the audience and can play just about everything. As good if not better than larger metropolitan venues. Room opensat 9pm. There is NO COVER or MINIMUM! They even provide free standing iced water dispensers. The hotel itself is a masterpieceof architecture and interior design with several bars available to just sit and relax enjoying awesome views of the surroundingmountains and sunsets, before showtime. Self parking is available and recommended. Read more
I've been to a few piano bars, from New Orleans to a few up the east coast. Elaine's was one of the best piano bar experiences... I've had. Amazing talent in a comfortable laid back setting. With NO COVER/ENTRY FEE and a great selection of high qualitydrinks. If you are in Ashville and like piano bars this is the hidden gem. Read more
Definitely skip this one if you're visiting Asheville / the Grove Park, stick with the upstairs bar area in the main lobby of... the hotel. Will start off by saying that the two piano players were *incredibly* talented--I would have given them 5 stars fortheir performance! Unfortunately, I could not stand to listen to it. It's a very intimate space in the basement of the hotel,and yet they have two massive amps on either side of the pianos that made it so loud we actually had to leave. As soon as theystarted playing we are all kind of taken aback and looked at each other like "is it seriously this loud...?" We tried stuffingballed up napkins in our ears but eventually couldn't take it and left after about 15 minutes of them playing. I'm in my midtwenties and do not have sensitive hearing at all. Been to plenty of loud concerts and never had a problem--and this was insane.I felt so bad for the staff!!! The place was also VERY understaffed and it took 30 or so minutes for us to get our first roundof drinks, even though the place definitely wasn't full. And they only had one bartender for a Friday night (?!). Also theseats are like glued to the floor and you can't move them, so any group over 3 people is extremely awkward to seat in thisplace. Irritating. Read more
The service was fine, the guys knew how to play the piano pretty well, but honestly most of the songs were unrecognizable. The... singing wasn't good and it felt like one of them had a difficult time staying in tune. Certainly not the best piano bar I've verbeen to. Read more
Had a fun time at the piano bar. Music was great and the piano player took requests. Plenty of audience participation. Would... have been a 5 star review except for there was only one piano player the night we visited. (He was very good ) Read more
