Best Dueling Piano Bar

MicX

MicX is the city's first-ever dueling piano bar. Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, you will hear Journey, and yes, you will inevitably find yourself, glass raised, screaming out the lyrics to Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" (as a sea of bankers did on one particular Friday evening). MicX is open an ambitious seven days a week in a newly renovated basement-level room inside Johnny Foley's Irish Bar. Two very long electric grand pianos face each other while two Liberace wannabes bang out the hits of yesterday and the day before. It's the perfect place to satisfy a sudden hankering for Las Vegas, but you'll still be able to hop on Muni and get back home.
