Editorial Review for Howl at the Moon – by Patrick Green
In Short
The decor is as American and desirable as a Big Mac, with a modernized version of a bar from "Bonanza." As expected, the barstools, tables, railings, stage and just about everything else is made out of wood. The classic rock and Top 40 hits the pianists play are loud and obnoxious but fun if you can appreciate a John Cougar Mellencamp ditty and Jeff Foxworthy-ish humor. The staff will randomly join in on the songs by taking the stage or hopping on the counters.

This is probably my favorite bar ever. The dueling pianos are always entertaining and the servers are pretty nice. I love to get the jello shots which are served in giant souvenir plastic syringes. The servers then shoot them into your mouth and top it off with whipped cream. I won a party there once and I brought sixty people. The bar gave my entire party free entrance, free parking, and highly discounted drinks. It can get a little crowded on the weekends, but it is still a lot of fun.
Pros: great entertainment and jello shots
Cons: can get crowded on the weekends

It's a nice place if your looking for a fun time minus all the trouble of getting ready for a club. I have made it a ritual to go on sundays, during three day weekends, where I can get 3 drinks for about 15 bucks, including tips. It's pretty fun since the pianist will include all types of music from beastie boys, to nelly, to journey, even Vicente Fernandez!!! It does get pretty crowded though, so plan on arriving around 9 or so... anytime after that and you will have to wait at least 30 min, if not more. Another con, for some reason the last time I went the cover charge went from $3 to $10... in one night.
Pros: Laidback atmosphere, cheap drinks on Sun.
Cons: Very crowded
