I visited Jack n' Diane's with a paid reservation and had a very negative interaction with the owner. While my party was being seated, I stopped by the completely empty bar. After waiting several minutes and finally being acknowledged, I politely asked the bartender for a canned beverage. She said I could not order from her and had to order from my waitress. When I noted that no waitress had visited our table yet, I politely asked to speak to a manager. At that point, the owner immediately emerged and erupted with a profanity-laced tirade, using extreme verbal aggression and telling me to get out, claiming I was "jumping ahead." We left immediately. The venue itself was clean, but the management style felt hostile and unpredictable. I've since found years of similar reports on community forums and other travel sites regarding hostile owner interactions and a reportedly toxic environment for staff. There has even been past litigation involving serious workplace allegations. I strongly encourage anyone to do their own research beyond the star ratings before deciding to support this establishment. I will not be returning. read more

Was in town for the Labor Day wkend and was looking the something fun and lively to do. This place served that purpose, it was soooo much fun and the musicians were amazing and so talented. Their drink/food menu is limited and prices aren't too cheap but what I had was delish. I tried a key lime martini and the chicken wrap. Music starts abt 7:30 and goes well into the night. I took an uber because I know downtown Greenville can get crazy with parking so definitely keep that in mind as there is no private parking lot. read more

This place was a lot of fun! A bit all over the place but everyone was having a great time and they really do interact with the patrons very nicely. We all joined in with singing and competitions. We had the burgers and a couple of drink and a really great night out. read more

Very fun atmosphere and a great way to spend a night with friends. The musicians are extremely talented and funny. It is a very interactive experience where they get the crowd involved. I went on the 2nd weekend of college football and there.aere various fan bases on hand so that made the night thay much better. The drinks are good, I had dinner prior to going so I didn't partake in any food. There is a cash entry fee, amd you make song requests with cash, but you can pay for food and drinks with a credit or debit card. read more

Jack n' Diane's - Piano Bars Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

We had great hostess and the waiter was wonderful. Food was good. The piano players were exceptional. We were having a great time. They switched piano players to another very talented man. As the night drew on this new player became rude and lude and made for a very uncomfortable and unpleasant situation for our guests. Much sexual inappropriate conversation from this man that we choose to leave early. So sad it started out so fun. read more

I would not go here with a group larger than 5. The pianists and singers are megalomaniacs that get off being on stage, especially the curly-haired, short man boy. He's incredibly rude and demonstrated low IQ and EQ levels. The pianists have liberties on who can and can't go on stage and discriminated me based on my gender (I'm a white male and they clearly only wanted people on stage who identify as women. Additionally, if the pianists do not like your group, the bar staff will overcharge you. Do not recommend going. Apparently the local police are always outside given the amount of egregious kick outs they do to paying patrons. If you do decide to go, whatever you do, do not go on stage! read more

We came last night to check out the dueling pianos. What a fun concept. Towards the end of our visit they started dueling SEC fight songs--so fun! Want to come back with a larger group sometime. read more

It is what it is, a very loud piano bar. It's fun and definitely not for the cheap person. If you are either of these then this is probably not the place for you. Water is $3 and the drinks are like a college dream. Food is bar food at best. The entertainment is top notch! Definitely a fun experience. read more

I had a reservation for my daughter in laws 21 birthday they made us pop the balloons which was understable they would not let us take the cake which I thought was absurd they did not tell me when I made the reservation I could not bring a came when I told them it was a birthday I have been there multiple times most recently in December our party spent well over 1000$ that night we would have spent close to that tonight I paid 120$ for the reservation when I asked the manager why I could not have the cake be came at me very aggressively cursing and using the f bomb he called me a f!!! b!!!!! all I wanted to know was why we could not have the birthday cake once he got into my face very aggressively I actually thought he was going to hit me, I cursed back at him he proceeded to throw me out i had just arrived, totally sober and was treated very disrespectfulmy I have been there multiple times for multiple special occasions I was sith my kids and to be treated that was totally uncalled for I will never go back read more

Had a fun time listening to the performers. A group of three of us had sat down and got our order taken. As we waited for food, our drinks came out. We were encouraged by the performers and staff to move closer to the pianos as other groups left the bar. We never got our food. Our server was busy tending to a table of about ten people who were sitting in our old spot. He rang them out before us even though we had been standing ready to leave after the pianos had finished for the night. They were all sitting and clearly sticking around. After waiting for about 7 minutes for him to notice us, he finally came over. We told him we never got our food, and he told us he gave the food to the old table, which he had opened new tabs for but didn't think twice and confessed he had given our food to the larger group. Pretty pathetic service. Music was decent. One of the piano players/performers, a girl with braids and side shaves, was really giving and kept the party going. If she hadn't been there it wouldn't have been half as fun. I ordered a margarita bowl and didn't feel even a buzz. Tasted more like a lemonade with limes. If you go here, it's for the music. Pre-game and don't show up hungry. read more

Talk about a fun night! Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. Thankfully we made reservations! The place got packed quickly, understandably so. The musicians were a lot of fun to listen to and made it an extremely fun night. The drinks were pretty good, just expensive. The fish bowls were very sweet. Will definitely be back! read more

The music was phenomenal. Drinks were okay, overpriced grenadine filled soda instead of having any alcohol. In addition to paying, I was charged 4 times for different exuberant amounts of money the next day when I was no longer there. I was almost out $800 when I had originally paid $200. Luckily, I kept my receipt and was reimbursed, however the shady business of trying to double/triple charge your patrons is absolutely disgusting. I am sorry for the wonderful musicians and servers that had helped us but I will not be returning due to the attempted robbery of those willing to attend your establishment. Beware - pay cash or do not go at all. read more

Cash only and beware the ATM will triple charge you a transaction fee. This place is mids. Only had a good time because of the people I was with. Energy was beat on a weekend. Drinks were ok. read more

My husband and I went there on 2/15. We were treated well, thoroughly entertained, and had an amazing night! We actually witnessed the 21st birthday fiasco that is referred to in another post. I have to say that I have never seen a grown woman so angry over having to delay balloons and cake for later. She was extremely rude to the wait staff and doorman (wouldn't even let the poor guy help by discarding the deflated balloons). I felt sorry for them. We actually thanked the doorman for his professionalism after the said party left. Overall, we were impressed by everyone working there and delighted with the entertainment. We can't wait to go back again. read more

Rude staff. Charged for WATER at the end of the night. Rude staff. The stars given at all are for the performers/piano players. I know you deal with drunks repeatedly..but this is a bar. And we aren't all deserving to be treated disrespectfully. Hopefully things can change. read more

What a great atmosphere with great drinks. Highly recommend the fish bowls to go with the live music.

What a fun and entertaining place. Two pianos working to fill a song that you have requested. Backed up with a drummer, it's a great way to experience your favorite songs. Have a drink, grab some wings or fingers. LOL! Bring your friends or come alone. Host a private party! read more

Denied a booth on a dead quiet night for an engagement party. Not reserved by other parties or set by a $ limit (could not answer why we couldn't be seated besides "we need to fill the front") How does one get a booth? We're a reasonable bunch - tell us how to reserve or what the spending requirement is and we'll make a decision.... But a faceless blanket no at one of our favorite bars really negated plenty of positive previous visits. Not getting our cover back didn't help either. Shuffled out of there ignominiously. Only hope is that the owner will provide some better communication to patrons in the future - lots of lost business if not. Great place, real shame. read more

I am so disappointed with this establishment. We could not get a glass of tapwater for free even with the purchase of a meal and cocktails. How can you serve food and not give free tapwater? Customers have to purchase a bottle for $3 if they need water. My objection isn't about the money. It's about the principle. What would they do if a customer has had a couple of drinks and wants to stop drinking and have a glass of water so they can be a responsible driver? They're not willing to just give customers a tap water for free after they've already spent money in their establishment? This is ridiculous and I will not go back just because of this policy. The piano players are so good and I really enjoy watching them, but I will not go to an establishment that will not give a glass of water to their customers. Side note. Three of the girls from our party got sick on the food that they ate at Jack & Diane's that evening. read more

Jack n' Diane's - Yelp ad - Piano Bars Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Had a fun night at Jack n' Diane's! We reserved a table ahead of time which was $10 a person. I'm glad we did because it got packed with some people kind of awkwardly standing around. Our server was very attentive and we never went without a drink or a snack. The drink menu, however, does leave a bit to be desired. All of the drinks are super sweet with a lot of fruit juices. The main drink colors I saw coming from the bar were blue, pink, and green AKA a hangover in a glass. Definitely opt for a simple mixed drink or beer if sweet drinks aren't your thing! The music was also very good and they take requests. If you have a special occasion like a bachelorette party, they even let you go up on stage, which was very entertaining. If you're celebrating a birthday, prepare for them to basically berate you on stage. It was funny for the crowd, but I can't imagine what it was like to be up there. They played all of the classic piano bar songs and I wished they would have tried to do the more "out there" songs that you wouldn't typically hear on a piano. This is a great place to go with a group that is all ages. We went with my boyfriend's parents and there was music from pretty much every era going on. read more

Jack n' Diane's - Piano Bars Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

It's loud. No, LOUD is better... Take some concert earplugs if you want to leave without a bit of damage to your hearing. There are two pianos, drums, a guitar or two. Three musicians (on the night we were there. They were all talented to the point that any song requested seemed to be known from memory. They demand audience participation, which is fun. It's a bit raunchy at times. Don't get pushed on stage by your friends celebrating your birthday unless you are very open to some good natured insults. Food was OK bar food. Beers were reasonably priced. The few mixed drinks that were passed around seemed to be rather light on alcohol... lots of ice. The place was crowded. Multiple long tables so you may be sitting with someone unfamiliar. The wait staff was very attentive, especially considering the high noise level and general raucous atmosphere. I can imagine that multiple trips here would get boring, but for a birthday, etc. It could be a blast. read more

Reserved a table and even got there early. We were excited because this was our second time there and we had a lot of fun the last time (over 8 months ago). It was over $70 for 6 of us to reserve a table. They let you pay money for song requests so each time we tried to request a song we got skipped over without even the decency of "we don't know this song pick another" paid a total of $40 to them stupidly. If you go just enjoy others song requests and don't waste your money on your own. Oh and the waiter told us if we gave them $20 we could do "the wheel of destiny" this is also a lie. So don't waste your money on that either. Food was just basic bar food with minimal options. Overall normal bar prices but they price gouge water at $3 a bottle. read more

Absolutely AMAZING!! Every element of this experience was the highest quality; the food, the atmosphere, and especially the musicians, were all phenomenal!! I cannot say enough about how talented & entertaining the pianists (who are also vocalists) are. Those musicians gave so much of themselves!! You won't find better entertainment anywhere! There was never an interruption in the music, the entire night, as there were multiple pianists, who switched off while one was taking a short break; so, while the musicians were interchanging throughout the night, the music never once stopped!!! There is a $5 cover charge (we paid $10 because we made reservations) and it's well worth 20 times that. I'd happily pay $100 + for that kind of entertainment (I've purchased concert tickets that cost way more and the shows weren't nearly as entertaining as the folks at Jack n' Diane's)!! If you're easily offended, or if you clutch your pearls each time you hear a curse word, this might not be your scene but if you enjoy stellar music, wit, humor, sarcasm (all good natured, not mean spirited at all), then you will love this place!! read more

Standard cover band with a couple pianists. Lots of radio rock with a few classics mixed in.. They didn't wanna play a couple classics with cash requests. Just not a classic dueling piano bar imo. read more

The owner of this place is a jerk. Don't bother going and give this place your money. My friend forgot to pay a tab and they had the CC but messed up charging it. They will put a warrant out for your arrest no matter how much your bill is. Even once it settled then the owner is such a loser that he will "forget" to close out the warrant. This guy doesn't deserve to own this place ... stay away unless you want to be arrested. read more

This place can be a lot of fun, but go with an open mind. Be prepared to be patient with the crowd, the long wait for your drink, and as the night goes on, the overly drunk patrons - many of which are in groups at long tables. The cover charge to get in is $5 and, no free water. It costs $2. We went after dinner, about 8:30, just to check it out. We were lucky enough to get there before the late crowd and we got a couple of seats along the railing/bar to the side of the pianos, which gives you a good view if you don't mind not being at a table. The piano players started about 8:45 and they were pretty good. They started taking requests, some songs of which were not necessarily well known, but they did great for the most part with music and lyrics. The players do switch up, and some are better than others. On a couple of songs the full band came on stage with guitars and drums, and I was surprised AND impressed to see a female drummer. I was in awe since this is something I've always wanted to do, and she made me want to go and take lessons! We left about 10:30 and it was already standing room only, hot, and it was getting crowded and a bit crazy. When we went out, there was a line at the door waiting to get in. They then let two more people in, so they do keep tabs on the crowd. Overall, it was a fun experience and we're glad we tried it. Maybe this particular place is better left to the younger crowds that like to drink beverages from fish bowls, but it's worth a try at least once. read more

What a cluster F! We had a group of 8, called ahead BEFORE making reservations and asked if they would hold our table as we would likely arrive around 7:40. Of course they said Yes! Well, we arrived at 7:35 and they gave away our table (took our cover fee mind you), but would not do anything to try to accommodate us! The manager, Summer, said she remembers speaking with us yesterday but she failed to tell the hostess. What a frickin' joke! AND Summer did not care at all that she f'ed up!! read more

COVID convict gone wild! Entertainment: Impressive! Especially the owner who is quite Memorable! Drinks: Mine were all good! Leigh knows how to make an Old Fashion Northern style!

The good... actual entertainment off Main Street in Greenville! The two pianists/singers are funny and grind out all your familiar favorites, as they say. They do pull off a merry time, and there's lots of give-and-take between the pianists and the crowd. It's a great party! The drinks, the food? Not the main thing... it's all about the party! The staff, may or may not be friendly. read more

This is a must do in Greenville! We had the best time!! Check it out and make reservations well worth the 10 to get in!!!

Jack and Dianes is such a fun experience if you're going for a night out in Greenville! My boyfriend and I went for my 21st and had a really great time! The atmosphere was great and had an audience ranging from our age to middle aged adults and everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves. Drinks and snacks were a little pricey for what they were, but all part of the fun! The dueling piano aspect really is what you go for, they'll play just about anything and everyone is singing along and interacting- it's great! Definitely bring some extra cash for requesting songs or other shenanigans (You can have something written up at the front of the bar) be ready for some crude humor as well, they don't hold much back as the night gets later read more

Standard cheesy fun piano bar entertainment yet smaller than most. 3.5 stars Highlights: - Fun singalong and audience participation: you're among friends out to have a good time. Midlights: - Playing college allegiances to get money to change the fight song was funny for the first few minutes, but quickly became tired and overdone lasting way too long. - Fish bowls: fun idea but devoid of flavor Lowlights: - MC wasn't my favorite on a Saturday night: his jokes were trying too hard to be funny and many times came out as just flat out rude - Cover charge: this place is not a big enough deal to warrant any type of a cover--even $5 on a Saturday night. Was ok for a hour or so but I wouldn't come often. read more

I've had a lot of fun tonight reading the bad reviews :-)). This is a party place. The piano players and singers are amaze-balls, and it's really fun. The antics are funny, and I'm never have a boring night. Highly recommend. And no, the owner isn't a Politician who's going to kiss your *ss. Great for groups, great for parties, fun if you just want to see some creative entertainment. read more

Had a blast here on a Saturday night - called the day prior to reserve a table for four ($10/per person). Reserving the table was a good decision, as it filled up and we liked having the table rather than standing along the bar. Talented musicians, fun songs, and overall a good time! Only con: the beer list is not extensive, which is a shame as there is great beer in Greenville. You can choose domestic beers or a small number of non-local craft beers. read more

So the short story is that I had fun at Jack n' Diane's, but I can't give it a good rating because of some pretty major issues. 1) Don't charge for water at your GREENVILLE SOUTH CAROLINA restaurant. This isn't a Vegas club; get over yourselves. I saw that the owner or manager commented on a previous review saying they have people come to see the show and not spend a penny and just order water all night...you have a cover charge. Up it. Or don't include free water unless people are ordering other drinks or food. My friend and I spent $140 on drinks and I can't get free water? Screw you, honestly. 2) Speaking of which, I'm totally okay with a cover charge, but the drinks are overpriced. 3) The piano players were rude as hell. You're playing at a piano bar in Greenville, so again, get over yourselves. They were making snarky comments about the customers all night. I'm sorry, but I didn't wander into a Dick's Last Resort. Oh, and if I give you $15 to play a specific song and you refuse to play it, give me my money back. Also tipped an average of $2-5 per song, were there from 7:30 PM until past 1 AM, and they didn't play half the songs we requested. More understandable than the $15 thing, but still frustrating. 4) Food is okay. My friends enjoyed their burgers but the fries were undercooked and the spinach-artichoke dip was barely passable. Basically I'll only end up here again if I'm forced to come as part of an official party, which is how I ended up here in the first place anyway. I've been to several piano bars all over the country and this is the worst one I've experienced, hands down. read more

Music and talent were great. Server was excellent. Celebrated my wife's birthday there. Drinks were well portioned but lacked alcohol. Their specialty cocktails and fishbowls seemed like they were extremely watered down. When paying $20 for a fishbowl or 10 for a cocktail I expect to taste some alcohol and feel it. Neither of which happened. Not sure I would personally go back. read more

I have been to Jack and Diane's several times and it keeps getting better every time I go. The food is great..and the drinks are awesome. I recommend the Tiger Punch fish bowl..it's excellent!! The wait staff are always friendly and the musicians are awesome. Matt, Zack, Jonathan, and the rest of the crew are always entertaining and love to have fun with the crowd....plus they can play almost any song requested. I have visited on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays....and so far my best time was on a Saturday! For me..it seemed like there were more single ladies there on Saturday...so if your looking to maybe meet someone or even make new friends this is such a great atmosphere to do it. I can't say enough good things about Jack and Diane's...would give them a 10 star rating if I could!! read more
