    We had a great time at Fortissimo Dueling pianos. We arrived before 8:30am and there was only one piano playing. However after 8:15-8:30 the mood changed (lights off, two piano players) and it felt like a traditional piano bar. While the entertainment was fun, I chose 4 stars instead of 5 because the food was average but nothing to wow anyone. Also, the drinks weren't amazing so I transitioned to drinking wine. Overall, great entertainment and responsive service!

    Such a great date night! The Dueling Pianos at Fortissimo was tons of fun. The musicians are very talented and played a nice variety of tunes. Didn't have to wait forever for my requests to be played. Great atmosphere and the drinks were delicious too. I highly recommend

    What a fun place to be! I was here on a Thursday night, and the place was fully reserved. If you don't bring cash, you can tell the waiter and they will let you run your credit card and buy "chips" for around $5 each to tip the pianists to request a song. Lots of requests and very different music was played all the way from 80s to hip-hop to country. It was a great girls night and I will absolutely be returning

    Great space and great happy hour menu. Wonderful atmosphere and great customer service. Bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly. I already told a friend we have to come back.

    Dropped by for a late night drink because it was close to my hotel. The musicians were great! All three of them rocked me with their talent. I loved that they were playing some 90s hits as well as general popular songs such as Don't Stop Believing. I tried the Jessies Girl cocktail. It was good but the muddled blueberries sunk to the bottom and were a little too thick. The bartender also overcharged me by giving me top shelf liquor without asking. The drink was marked for $12.50 and there was a separate $2 charge on my bill for the drink at the end. I just wish they would have asked, considering the drink that I ordered was marked as 12.50 on the menu. Other than that I did have a good time. The music really sold it and the overall vibe was upscale. It was a good place for a nightcap but I don't know that I would come back based on my experience.

    The different pianists make the experience fun. The younger pianist really tried to fulfill requests, even newer music like Lizzo! The salt-n-pepper daddy pianist played the older music, but didn't do our Broadway music requests... The man and woman duo only played Gen X music so if you're into that kind of thing, this is the place to be. They really stuck to their own schtick, which didn't feel genuine. It also reached above 100db, so definitely bring ear plugs!!! Bring cash for music requests; They won't play your song if you Venmo. The cocktails were good and strong which was nice, but the water glasses needed to be cleaned cause there was a definite smell. The food was pretty pricy for the small portions, like $12 for five cocktail shrimp. The bottomless popcorn was nice, but was the only hot food. In general it was a good time for a soft opening and I'm excited to see how it develops in the future!

    7 years since I've last been here and its still the same. Yes a couple of the stuffed animals have…read morebeen moved around. But the service and the drinks are still top notch. They've gotten do much busier though. There must've been over 30 people at the bar getting drinks. But the 4 bartenders at the bar were slinging them out quickly. Even though they were fast the drinks were extremely well made and the customer service wad amazing. The ambiance was great!! Everyone was here to have a good time. But no one was overly rowdy or raucous. People were friendly and conversational but stayed in their lanes also. Even though all these years have passed. And the pandemic has ravaged many businesses. The quality and service here still makes this place one of the best whiskey bars around!!!

    Seven Grand is one of my favorite cocktail bars in Denver, hands down. The location alone is hard…read moreto beat - close to Union Station, Coors Field, and McGregor Square - and despite being right in the middle of everything, parking is surprisingly manageable with plenty of street spots and nearby garages. Their cocktails are consistently excellent, but the standout for me is the Gentleman's Buck. It's perfectly balanced, refreshing, and endlessly drinkable. I still wish they'd bring it back onto the happy hour menu! The staff makes the experience even better. Sam and Joshua are fantastic bartenders - friendly, welcoming, and genuinely great at what they do. They make the bar feel like a place you want to return to again and again. And if you're a whiskey fan, their Whiskey Wednesday events are always a blast. You can learn something new, try something interesting, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Seven Grand delivers on all fronts: great drinks, great people, and a great location. Highly recommended!
