Howl at the Moon Hollywood

Great times, drinking and dueling pianos

  • Great Happy Hour Specials
  • Dueling piano bar
  • Great 4 groups: any occasion

Two piano players face each other and take turns singing time-tested tunes like "Sweet Caroline" and "Devil Went Down to Georgia". Talented musicians add to the fun of the dueling pianos with instruments like the bass, drums and even the electric violin. Requests are encouraged, and singing along is a must. When groups can agree on the same sipper, they go for 86-ounce buckets of booze bliss, like the ever-popular Long Island Iced Tea.

Howl is the place for fun for any occassion. Dont forget to book your group parties with Howl at the Moon!

Editorial Review for Howl at the Moon Hollywood – 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.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I've been a few times, and each time I hate it more and more.... The concept is great, dueling pianos and live band.... But its very expensive, filled with valley trash, and worst of all, the staff is horrible. They are all very rude and disrespectful. They are mindless drones. They will push you out of the way, don't listen to you.. They treat everyone with disrespect.... I understand that they deal with drunks all night, but its annoying for those who just want to go out and have a good time to be treated that way.... I'm going out and paying for a service and an experience. I'll take my money elsewhere, where people understand the concept of SERVICE INDUSTRY!

Pros: Entertainment on stage is good

Cons: Service staff is horrible

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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

Dueling pianists bang out tunes at this Universal CityWalk bar where "Animal House" meets Old Americana.  See the full editorial review.
