If you're thinking about coming here... DO IT! First off, make reservations. The place was packed. Not an open seat when we arrived, and our reservation was at 8:15pm. We ordered drinks and a flatbread pizza. Everything was great. As for the musicians, they rotate every hour (if I remember correctly) with a total of 4 musicians. They are very talented and extremely interactive with the crowd. They do receive tips, and sometimes will have tipping wars on the songs they play. Shoutout to the Filipino musician (Pinoy Pride! ) in my picture. She was awesome, and took a couple of our requests. Even got us on stage... Honestly, they were all awesome though. But yeah, if you're thinking about it or reading this review... GO! MAKE A RESERVATION! You won't regret it! read more

I had no idea that we walked past this place several times, almost like a hidden gem. I'm so glad we found it! Absolutely loved the music. Everyone was extremely talented, the crowd was encouraged to be involved, and they were so great about taking requests. Anyone who gets into character for an Elton John song gets a 10/10 in my book!! I highly recommend reserving a table. We reserved a table in advance to enjoy music and drinks. read more

I'm not a fan of country music, but really wanted to see live music while I was in Nashville. Thankfully, I wandered past this place after my conference and the friendly security guy answered my questions. I was surprised there was no cover charge! It would have been worth one. I felt totally comfortable sitting alone at the bar as a solo woman. I loved and knew almost every song that they played. The male and female entertainers were very talented (knew percussion too) and had a great vibe on stage. They called people up on stage, engaging them with props. It was a lot of fun. The musicians welcomed & encouraged song requests. I had the best Moscow Mule I've had in town during my stay. At 9 pm the place was friendly with good vibes--quite a few tables were doing the girls' night out thing. Highly recommended! read more

Great entertainment and very talented musicians on the stage! We ordered the charcuterie board, beignets, and margarita flatbread. The beignets were smothered in powdered sugar (a little too much for our liking) so we only ate one, but the other appetizers were good. I also ordered the sunflower drink and wasn't a fan- tasted too much like black licorice in my opinion. Although the decor is cute and falls in line with a Louisiana-feel, the huge fake trees surrounding the stage really block a lot of view and take away from being able to see the entertainment. Overall, it's a fun place to visit! read more

Made reservations for a Sunday evening for our group of 6. They have mainly appetizers and drinks here but the food is really great. Loved the flatbread! The dialing pianos were fun to watch although they were about an hour behind on requests the night we came. Would recommend for a fun night! read more

The musicians were ok but not awesome. I'm sure some people will love the show but kind of cheesy to me. It becomes a little gimmicky. The singers engage the audience and encourage them to sing songs but this gets old and boring quick. I guess if you want something different to do in Nashville and have a few hours to kill, this show is ok. Would I ever go back and visit this show again- No I'm good. read more

Lively, fun piano bar in the heart of Broadway. The service is a little slow, so just sit back and sing along to the music. I was a little surprised that sings started to repeat after 1.5 hours. There's only so much YMCA one can take before it's time to move on to the next venue. read more

Y'all. This little hidden gem is tucked under Lainey Wilson's restaurant and was the BEST piano bar I've been to.. we weren't able to make a reservation online but were there before 6 so when it opened we were able to snag a table. They do also offer open seating at the bar and standing room is available too but FYI the food menu is different than the upstairs restaurant. The music starts about 6:30 which is a variation of all kinds of music not just country, Lori was HILARIOUS. Our group had so much fun laughing and singing along with her. I definitely want to go back the next time we're in Nashville. read more

If you are looking for a fun place to visit with good bites and drinks this is your place! It's in the lower level of Lainey's Wilson's new place and it is always hopping. The talent of the dialing piano players will blow your mind. The night we went there were 3 musicians and they were all great. We shared a charcuterie board and it was more than filling. The place is dark and mysterious looking (kinda hard to see menus) but so fun. Check it out. read more

We went here for an evening with a group of girls. We had the best night we've had in such a long time! The service was amazing. They were quick, friendly, and made suggestions. The ambience has a fun vibe, but very classy feel. The dueling pianos played a wide variety of genres and included the audience. Lots of dancing and fun was to be had by all that were there! I will definitely go back next time I am in Nashville! read more

This place is the coolest venue I've ever been to in Nashville. The ambience is absolutely stellar. They really knocked it out of the park with a classy, unique, speak-easy vibe that's great for every party. The bartenders & staff were all attentive & nice, the drinks good, and the food was delicious! But the entertainment was the BEST part, hands down. The musicians made our night! Definitely be ready to watch & participate in a SHOW! The piano entertainers are crazy talented, funny, and sometimes pull the audience members onto the stage to have them do something fun or to sing to them. We had a group of 12 last weekend for my cousins birthday. I've been to Dueling Piano shows before, so I knew I could pay them $20 to bring her up to the stage to embarrass her & sing her happy birthday. They brought her up & sang her a hilariously dirty song, and everyone absolutely loved it. Best $20 I've ever spent We requested a bunch of songs, mainly singalong classics, but we also threw out some modern stuff that we didn't think they'd know, and they crushed it! My favorite was the classic rock tunes that I didn't think could be pulled off on a piano, like Sweet Child O Mine, but they slayed it! We're definitely coming back in the near future. This may even be our new regular bar on the weekends.. It's a great place for groups of friends, so we look forward to making this our hang out spot. read more

If you are up for a full dinner, the food is second to none. For many years I went to hear the great John Johnthis, and was so excited to hear that Terrific Terri is now holding down the fort. The first time I heard Terri play and sing was at a wonderful restaurant in Green Hills -- since gone the way of all flesh. I told Terri after the show "I'll bet your parents were shocked when you came into the world White and Blonde." (She told me later that was the finest compliment she had ever received.) Of course, I said that, because she covers Dionne Warrick like no one I have ever hear, and get's down on the Blues. It is hard to say whether Terri is a better singer or jazz pianist. She is simply terrific at both. Terri has a great personality and talks to the audience between tunes, which is both enlightening and entertaining. So I am awarding V'Lounge Five Stars and look forward to my next vist.
