My sister and I had a great time here! Musicians were amazing and played a wide range of requests. Very entertaining! A huge shout out to the excellent staff from our very sweet gal, Tiffany, to the security gentleman who made sure we were having a good time. We will definitely go back when we are in the area! So much fun, keep up the great work!

This bar was unlike anything Ive seen before. The pianists were absolutely amazing, far better than anything I would expect in a bar, and as the night went on and more performers joined with guitars, drums, etc, the more mesmerized we became. The drinks were excellent. Even when we tried to go elsewhere to bar hop, we ended up coming right back. No wonder there were 3 bachelorette, and 4 birthday parties there. Wish we had a place like this back at home.

Pianos, multi instrumentalists, and live music all night catered to the suggestions of the crowd! Great spot. When it comes to the p&l district, this is one of the top places to go. Drinks are cool and the atmosphere is excellent. Highly recommended *if you can get in!!* Id show up early just to secure a seat!

They have a decent set list but they DO NOT play requests. I gave them two softball requests at 8pm when basically nobody else was there and they never played our songs. all my exes live in Texas is super easy. They repeated a song twice and played shaggy 3 times and still didnt play my song. This is Busch league

Came out for a birthday and was under whelmed with the entertainment. Shelby was the highlight of the evening. I don’t know that I would call it a dueling piano bar and much as a dueling keyboard bar. They are great at covers but not engaging the audience. I can’t wit to get back to Indy or NOLA for a great experience.

We were excited to spend a night out. We were unpleasantly surprised that there was a private event. We were not allowed in until an hour after posted opening time. Even though I checked their website. When we got there the door service was non-existent. The bar service was spot on. We went back to the door to ask about getting a table. She motioned to a row of barstools by the window. We sat there but the waitress never served us. We had to go back to the bar area for service. The entertainment was good and we enjoyed that.

We had a really good time. Couple minor issues, but the manager took care of us afterwards and was far more professional than a lot of bar owners. Would definitely recommend.

I LOVE dueling piano bars, so decided to go to KC for my 30th birthday, which happened to be on a weekend. My friend and i started out at Howl at the Moon, it was very slow at first so we were skeptical on how the night was going to go. Needless to say, we spent the whole night at Howl at the moon and didnt make it to any other bar that night! The staff was so friendly and made it a really great night.

Review №17

Arrived at 7pm right at open. Was there for 3.5 hrs not one requested song was played. Feel like there was a set of music non request... which is fine if you eventually take request or involve audience. Not one requested song played after 8 attempts. DesMoines location great, KC location no.

An edited review after visiting a second time... Fair prices and the music was excellent. The musicians were incredible. Dont waste your money reserving a table unless you plan to sit all night. The minute you get up to dance or anything, people will take your table - its not truly reserved. The staff is also not the friendliest.

A must visit while in Kansas City. A really fun time. Will be back the next time in KC.

Very loud- not the piano bar I was used to. Service was decent- more recent songs in comparison to 80s music and later. A lot of songs I didn’t even know- and I’m 26.

Review №21

I very much enjoyed the atmosphere during my first time visiting this location. The staff there was very friendly and I like the bar set up. Best of all is the live band/ karaoke style stage set up with 2 pianos. I felt like I was in a live concert. They performed really well. The girls were of the chain with the hip-hop or rap songs. Sound quality was awesome! I sure did have a great time there. I will definitely return for more future visits.

Bad-Assery, En Masse! Love this place! We won a party - were bringing cousins, I hope. We are from Texas, so enjoy the idea of partying with Missouri Cousins. Thank You for the reply!

Review №24

The place opens at 7 pm. We got there at 7:45 and had to wait in line, outside, for 40 minutes!When we finally got inside, the only chairs we could find were in an isle. We were bumped into a lot!This is a piano bar where multiple musicians provide non-stop music. The musicians were excellent, but the bar was so packed, we had a difficult time seeing them. ...and it was really loud...! There is a small dance floor, but there were so many people standing, there wasnt room to actually dance!If you like a loud drunken party with some great musicians playing music that you cant really hear, then this is the place for you!

Im from out of town and it seems like this bar gets better every time I visit! Extremely fun environment that is very different from other bars and they have great drinks here! I love that you can request songs to be performed and the fact they seem to be able to perform everything thrown at them! If youre from a smaller town the drinks are a little pricey, but typical for the Power and Light district.

Awesome place. Fantastic entertainment. Extremely talented group of musicians/singers that really know how to put on a show. Fair price on drinks and pretty clearly a favorite spot for the locals. Next time Im in KC, Im definitely going back.

Love this place. Always fun, attentive service even when the place is shoulder to shoulder! Manager helped us out with reserving a table and it was relieving on a weekend night to have a set place to go. I recommend the bucket deal on drinks! Thanks!

Review №32

Pretty good. Nice drink specials, could be stronger. Kind of disappointed that there was no food, couldnt drink as much. We did enjoy ourselves thanks to that little Asian girl who was rocking out and the drummer guys that made the night. They get 3 of those stars.

Review №34

Terrible service. They took our five dollars without notifying us that all of the tables were already reserved. When we asked for our five dollars to leave and go somewhere else the manager gave us attitude Instead of just refunding ya and letting us be on our way. I do not recommend this place at all.

Very fun environment. Loved the music and drink selection. Wait staff seemed short when we were there. Had to go to the bar to get our own drinks several times. We used to go when it was free to get in and Saturday night there was a 5.00 cover. Seems a bit much to me with the drink prices and parking but still enjoyed the evening.

I pre booked a table here for a friends bachelorette party and am so glad I did! The band was phenomenal and so talented!! They engaged the crowd and wowed us all playing requests of every genre all night. The servers were on top of their game and extremely friendly. Prices were great and the drinks were tasty! Excellent choice for a fun night out! If you are planning an event the cost of booking a table is well worth it!

Great place for dueling pianos. Went there on Valentines Day and the music was great. I requested a very random some and they played it perfectly. The bartender was perfect and very kind even with how busy it was.

Wow! I love this place! A must everytime we make a trip to kc. Amazing musicians, quick friendly servers. We had a private event here and the gal, Lacey, who helped us book the reservation, went above and beyond to make sure the experience was everything we wanted. Will forever recommend and return to howl kc!!

Review №42

Its an ok place, but the dueling pianos with drums was more of a live band taking requests. Not a bad thing but still not the same. The prices are insanely high though. No draft beer and a bottle of beer was $7.25, after one of those I went with a jack and coke which was $7.50 which is still high but at least I wasnt feeling as ripped off with that. Good place to visit once and never return to I guess.

Review №43

I don’t really understand the hype of this place. It’s always dirty, nasty, crowded, and there are never any tables available. The band isn’t very good. The sound mix is always awful and all you hear are the cymbals. They rarely play your requests. Probably the worst club in the Power & Light District.

Re
Review №44

Great chill crowd!! I HATE power and light, Ill only go near that place for howl at the moon. Mixed crowd, friendly crowd and staff, good drinks, great specials. Anyone can have tons of fun here. Sometimes a song maybe blah but members if the band play multiple instruments, plus sing and play what the crowd wants!!!

Review №48

Went there for my wifes birthday. Put in a request for a song and acknowledement with a big tip. After numerous friends of the musicians got recognized and talking to a number of them asking for them to at least say happy birthday to her, and after waiting 3 hours, we left without any acknowledgement. They knew who we were, why we were there, and did not care at all. How disappointing. Wish Ernie Biggs was still around. Went there for her other birthdays. Will not go here again.

Girlfriend and I went for an hour. Girlfriend was accosted multiple time by drunken bachelor party men. They tried taking her bucket and we became concerned they were putting drugs in the buckets. After another drunk guy forced himself on her and her friend and we had to shove him away, we decided to leave early. A security guard was less than 5 feet away and did absolutely nothing. We felt incredibly unsafe.

Same great experience as at other Howl at Moons. Band was great providing almost any requested song.

Review №52

I LOOOOOOOVE this bar! $17 for a bucket of whichever drink your choose from their bucket menu $30 for a bigger bucket that you can share with one other person. It’s worth it! I came here for a friend’s birthday, it was great. We got our buckets, & came back about 30 mins later for a refill, some lady spotted us & gave us a drink ticket, the ticket is good for one free drink (not the buckets) I think I’ve found my new hangout for Friday nights!

Review №53

Very fun, great atmosphere! Bartenders are friendly. Stage musicians are quite entertaining. Very energetic and versitle. Dancing on the piano, switching between instruments. Liked it so much that we went here 3x while in town for a conference. They are very accommodating for groups - so much so that they opened on a Monday (they are usually closed) for the group. What a great time.

Review №54

The live music was good, and they coveted several new and older popular songs, of various genres. The space is about cramped with the tables, but otherwise, it was really fun.

Unfriendly staff who think that one swear word warrants being kicked out. There was trash on the floor, one of our group said there’s —-trash on the floor as she was picking it up and that got us kicked out.

Review №59

First time here and although the piano players and singers are very talented, it wasnt what I was expecting. Having been to a Chicago location where they were actually focused on the dueling pianos, I was a little disappointed in all of the extra stuff (drums mostly) that was a distraction to the piano playing here. Probably wont go back to this one.

Rude staff ruined the place for me. My only regret is I didnt note his name and record the conversation. If you dont want to be there, find another job. Dont take it out on people quietly relaxing. Ill revisit it as soon as practical and update the review.

Review №74

Tried to reserve a table. They emailed us stating they had a few tables left to call. I did, sent to voicemail, left a message we were still planning on coming. When we got there, no table. We waited several minutes before the manager finally came over. I showed him the email and explained what I had done. His response was that everything was full, meaning it made no difference that I did what I was supposed to. It didnt bother him in the least, which is what bothered me the most (customer service? ). We requested our cover charge back and left. Weve never had such a poor experience at a piano bar and wont be back here. Go to Big Sky, much better experience!

We loved the atmosphere, first time there. The performers didn’t play either of our songs choices despite tipping them. The drinks were all mix and no alcohol. I’d go back for the atmosphere but I’d steer clear of any drink menu choice that contains mix.
