About two weeks ago, you may remember that we celebrated our friend’s birthday at Pamplemousse. After our wonderful dinner, four of us headed to the Strip to continue the party with dueling pianos. We headed over to the Encore’s Eastside Lounge where there are dueling pianos at night.
The lounge is decently sized and is open to the casino floor so everyone could enjoy the music. Hostesses seated us at a table for four with some comfy chairs (I was eyeing the couches at other tables which I guess we could’ve gotten if we got there earlier).
Beautiful ceiling over the pianos 
During performances after 9pm, the lounge has a 2 drink minimum (which we knew going into it) and the drinks of course are “Vegas prices.” They offered up twists and their own unique concoctions though which I appreciated it. Our wonderful cocktail waitress advised that they have a mixologist who comes up with their drink menu. I spent a lot of time looking at the menu and found ingredients here and there that I didn’t like but I found one drink that intrigued me – the Spiced Apple Mule. It was Moon Mountain Organic Citrus Vodkaa, Thatcher’s Apple Spice Ginger Organic Liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and Natural Fever-Tree Ginger Beer. It was fun and interesting!
The rest of the group went with less interesting drinks
In terms of the dueling pianos, they were a bit underwhelming. I would describe them more as “dual pianos” than “dueling pianos” – a giant two sided piano with the players acting more as a team. The music also wasn’t energizing enough, although there were small groups here and there that got up to dance. There wasn’t a lot of singing going on though.
Each of the tables had notepads/cards where you could request songs.
We requested a handful of songs but after not hearing any of them, we ended up leaving. Not before the Husband playfully modeled the birthday girl’s tiara. Always the joker
Overall, we were underwhelmed with the dueling piano aspect of the bar, but enjoyed the overall environment, the drinks, and our cocktail waitress. However, we don’t expect we’ll be back. The Strip has a handful of other dueling piano bars and we hope to check one out soon! Any recommendations??
