Definitely a must! Lots of fun the piano players were amazing. Lots of crowd interaction!

Could have more wait staff, I could have had a couple more drinks, oh well. Two guys playing music were very good.

KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BAR TAB!!! We used a Groupon, Manager tried over-charging us with a line of B.S. The service (Justin) was great as was the show. Food was pretty good..... Id go back, just dont like being taken advantage of.

Great experience! The atmosphere is very laid back, and the pianists are awesome! Also Tommy is the bomb, make sure you get him a shot!

It was okay but not great for sure. The drinks and food are overpriced. Food was not seasoned.

A place I would definitely revisit. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. The Staff was very accommodating. The two piano/vocalist made the experience exceptional. The Sunday brunch, was simple but delicious.

Had a date night here. It was a pretty good experience. My only complaint is how cramped it is and the price of drinks. The food was awesome, service was decent and the pianos were entertaining. Well definitely be going back tho.

I went there with a group for a friends birthday. Ive never been there before.We had reservations for 8:30, but there was no seating for us when we arrived. Im not sure what happened, but the place was packed to the point that I wondered if they were exceeding the licensed capacity. There were more people standing in there than were seated.After a 25 to 30 minute wait, some patrons left and some room was being made for our party to sit. I left as I found the crowded conditions and overly loud music uncomfortable.I would not recommend.

Fun place with okay music but if you are looking for good food better look for another placeStaff was nice

Great entertainment! Awesome bartender, very fast. Definitely going back and bringing lots of friends to enjoy

The food was priced high and just ok. Drinks were pricy. This would not be a problem if the piano players were actually entertaining. There was very little banter or dueling. It was really just pay to hear a song played. The crowd was not engaged in the act. We went to a similar place in Pontiac years ago and this was no where near as much fun. Disappointed.

Really love this place! Our server Jonathan was amazing and exceeded all our expectations.Piano players are fun but if you want to get your song played make sure you’re early or they won’t play it.

This was my first experience at a piano bar and my husbands second. Unfortunately we were both disappointed. We were both expecting so fun banter between the pianist, but it was basically just requested karaoke...where they only play your songs if you tip them(it looked like the going rate was $5). We were celebrating a special anniversary and I requested (and tipped) to hear the same song twice but never heard it. Eventually we gave up and left disappointed. The food was ok. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries. I ordered the fajitas which probably would have been good if they weren’t cold. There were several of my husbands favorite beers on the menu, unfortunately though they did not have any of them actually available. It wasn’t an overall bad experience, just not great. Had the tab not been so outrageously high I probably wouldn’t have even wrote a review, but I hate paying that much for a pretty disappointing meal and experience. It’s unfortunate too, because we were both really looking forward to it.

Tommy was awesome. Thanks for all your support!

Very disappointed in the service here. I’m sure this place is used to a crowd during the weekend nights, but they don’t act like it. We got there for an 8:30 reservation and no one even said a word to us for almost 20 minutes. Then we finally got our table and sat for almost another 20 minutes without any server ever talking to us. So we left and that all cost us $10 in getting through the door. Waste of time and money and very disappointed. Won’t be returning or recommending this place.

Great environment. Went on a Thursday night and had an awesome time. Bartenders /staff were great

A really, really good time. The dueling pianos were GREAT!! The players were awesome and kept the audience into it all night.

Booked 2 parties here, first one was great! Entertainment was amazing and the service was spot on.

Typically not my scene, went for a good friends birthday. Ended up having a great time with some decent eats. Our waiter was awesome! The show was great, and even had the birthday girl up on stage for a song and dance!

Always a good time, great drinks and food. Recommend for a night out or a business event.

First time here and we had a blast! Good food and atmosphere. Music was good! Our waitress Kristen was excellent! Overall experience was great! Will definitely be back.

It was ok. The drinks are good but pricey and the food is good. Piano players are always cheezie but they did a good job and knew current songs to. Overall we had a good time just spent wayyyyyyy to much money on drinks.

They gave us old menus and then when the bill came said told us that those were the new prices. Some prices were double for sides. Its not about the price, its about the principle. False advertising is what it is. The service wasnt the worst, but I wasnt the best either. Save your money and go to an honest establishment.

A HUGE HUGE shout-out to Amber! I was planning on going here all week and having a chaotic week I forgot to make reservations. When I messaged the company they got back to me immediately and said I could not select a later time because they were fully booked. Made other plans and missed a message from Amber saying that even though my reservation was for 5:30 she would hold my table for me until I got there! Unbelievable customer service and I cant wait to go there for the first time, again.

Staff is nice and the bar is cool, but its a bit expensive for what you get. $5 cover charge, plus money for e every song request, and 3 tacos were about $15. Total came out to about $60 with drinks and tip for one person. Tequila blue was literally empty and no one was up there.

Carded me for being Brown. Most discriminating place Ive ever been to.

We were recommended this place from my wifes co-workers, and honestly enjoyed the atmosphere and the entertainment. We did have some issues that snowballed from the start. We made a reservation by phone with the manager, who forgot to set it into the system. Abby, the hostess, managed to accommodate us fairly quickly with a table. The waitress, Kara, was amazing. You could tell that even though the appetizers took 50 minutes to arrive, that she was doing whatever she could to take care of us. My wifes steak came out great, the shrimp and butter was cold to the touch. Nothing was seasoned properly or at all. So we reached a point where after entrees are coming out at different times, and food is not properly prepared, we asked for the manager. Not something we do often. Charles came by and spoke with us. He treated our complaints with politeness and understood what we were experiencing. Before dealing with the manager, I wouldve had an incredibly hard time recommending this place. After working with Charles and Kara, we agree that this place really is worth a couple visits. We believe our next time here will be met with an even more positive experience.

I have a love of music and try to visit dueling piano bars at every opportunity I get. I have been to 526 Main twice now and the evenings are magic. Unlike many dueling piano locales, you can start the evening with dinner, decent pub fare, before drinking, singing and laughing the night away. The musicianship at 526 Main is of the best I’ve seen. The waitstaff are friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this Royal Oak venue if you are even remotely in the area.

Great food, service and entertainment. Fun evening.

Very entertaining, drinks were good, and food was ok.

Fun place for all ages. Weve been here twice for birthdays and the singers do a good job of making everyone feel special.I had some appetizers and they were good.Both times we were there the bar was out of specific and common types of liquor. If you are from the bar and reading this you may want to have someone review the liquor order better. The first time it was Titos, the second time you didnt have Woodford Reserve ( super common right now) and whatever was offered instead the bar only had enough for one drink.

Excellent entertainment and great service... Food and drinks very good too. Will go back and recommend to friends and family.

The Groupon allotted one appetizer ($9) two entrees ($13) and one dessert ($9.) Thats $44 worth of food for the $35 I paid for the Groupon.We had a reserved table but they put us in the corner where we couldn’t see the show. The waitress came over after about 5 minutes. She told us she was our beer list but didnt tell us any of the options. I asked if they had anything specifically vegan or could be made vegan. She said, No. Honey this is Mexican cuisine. I know vegan food can be hard to come by but obviously a salad or a side of vegetables wouldnt be difficult to put together.We ordered the Mexican fries as an appetizer (which turned out to be chili cheese fries.) We asked for half of the plate as it normally comes and the other half with just plain fries. They brought out 2 plates of fries, one as the regular Mexican fries and the other as cheese fries. Obviously cheese isnt vegan so I mentioned this to the waitress and said if theres nothing that can be done its not a big deal. She said she was really busy (we were 1 of 5 tables in the entire restaurant) and had asked her manager to take care of this one for her. She said she would go back and get this sorted for us. We thought it was just a funny mix up that maybe the lines got crossed. We got a plain plate of unsalted fries a few minutes later. I ate these until I found a curly hair then decided I didnt need anymore fries. We were told the fries had been comped.We had been there for about 40 minutes before our entree order was taken. My husband ordered a pizza and I got the fajitas with no meat and no cheese. Our plates came out and there was cheese on it. I figured I had already caused enough trouble so I would just eat around it. The vegetables that came with it were mostly onions and a few peppers. They werent salted or flavored at all and there was no salt and pepper on the table. It was incredibly flavorless and felt like a true sign of someone that is following a recipe rather than given the freedom to cook a well flavored meal. To be fair it all looked like pretty poor quality food to begin with. My husband got The Cali pizza which turned out to be more like a flatbread than a pizza.After 15 minutes with our entrees our waitress came over and noticed that we hadnt eaten much. She asked if everything was ok and my husband said he just wasnt into it. She pushed him for a bit more and he said It doesnt taste good. I think muenster is a weird choice to put solely on a pizza. She said, Well its our house cheese. Let me go talk to my manager. We insisted it was really not a problem we were just ready for the check. A minute or two later the manager came out and frustratedly asked us what seemed to be the problem. We told him it really wasn’t a big deal we were just done with our food. He pressed us for more. My husband said it tasted like poor quality food and the way it was put together didn’t make sense taste wise. The manager said he was disappointed to hear that and he would comp 25% of the pizza. Then he turned to me, I was clearly not interested in discussing this again especially when I felt like I was being scolded. I told him about the hair in the fries and he said, “Yeah, we’ve already comped the fries for you.” As if I shouldn’t have mentioned the hair again. I told him about the cheese and he sort of brushed it off as if he realized he had already heard these issues before. He capped off our interaction by saying, “I’m really disappointed to hear you’re having such a bad time. We really never have stuff like this happen (the reviews say otherwise!) so I’m very surprised. Did you at least like the music?” We said sure just to make him leave but to be honest one dude was super rude. Neither were great singers and every song was played too fast to enjoy. The rude guy seemed to get upset that no one was singing along with him although there was a total of maybe 12 people in the whole restaurant? When we got our check it turned our we had only spent $33 which means it was actually $2 more to use the Groupon.

Really cool places butt dueling pianos was more like begging for tips. Dont expect your song to be played. Its all about the money. The food was pretty good.

Fun bar, talented musicians, lots of fun. Food and drinks were great!

I think the piano is one of the most beautiful instruments in the world. To have dueling pianos was great! The atmosphere and the crowd were bananas!

Went there last weekend for a nigh of fun with my family. I enjoyed the entertainment (very engaging), the food was good, services was good, but one issue... I paid my tip in cash on a large bill (20%), and then found out later that my waitress had added an additional $60 on the credit card per my online banking. So disappointing.... Certainly ruins the experience when people pull stuff like this. Im not calling out the server, just telling you to beware when you cash out.

My wife got us a Groupon date here, and it was awful. I love my wife, and I do not blame her. We are still together despite the experience. I could sum it up I guess by saying, just because youve decided Muenster is your house cheese does not mean you should put it on a pizza.The chili cheese fries were an absolute disaster. I barely ate any of what I was served, it was so bad. Unfortunately, they couldnt make it up to us in any way because all they had to offer us was more bad food. There wasnt a single vegetarian thing on the menu, and it was difficult even to define the term to our server and describe what such a thing would be. Even after we explained it, we were still served food with meat on it.The waitress explained that the food was cold because the kitchen is upstairs and she has to go a long way to get it. We were unable to get our money back.The piano music was...okay, but geared more towards the 40-50 year olds with beer bellies, and they kept haranguing us for tips, audience participation, and requests even though there were only like three groups seated in the whole place. It was awkward and bad.

Been a couple of times! Always fun and a good night! Great for date nights

This place is always a great time. They have a poor selection of wine but the drinks are pretty good if you get the right bartender. The entertainment is really good!

A fun date night !!!!Good food, Wonderful service by Ashley and Kyle.We are definitely coming back for salsa dancing.

Fun place, the entertainment was good. However the staff was slow to fill orders. It took the kitchen over 45 minuets to make chips and salsa... that was sent back back because the chips were not made correctly. Full transparency it might have been an off night for them, manager suggested as much.

I came into 526 main on 8/22. My server was Kyle and he was a delight! Super nice and a great waiter. The pianist Tommy came to our table and introduced himself and took our request. He was wonderfully nice as well. The restaurant is very clean and looks cute. The menu is just the right size. I ordered the chicken fajita and it was delicious! Definitely coming back!!

Bar staff started chanting 10 minutes before the bar closed that you need to get the f* out of here - impressive hospitality. You chose to work the service industry. Will not spend my money on this bar. Unfortunate because the musicians they bring in are talented and could do better.

The performers were so talented. And they had so much fun that you cant help but have fun too.

Dont leave anything behind. I did. When called to ask, the voicemail said you must come in person. So I did,. The person at door soo rudely looked at me when I asked for lost and found said. we dont have one, we either keep it or throw it away, please leave DEAD SERIOUS!!!

High quality entertainment, really a fun place

Great entertainment! Loved every minute!!

Kyle our server was great! They are changing the menu, so there is a new one coming out next month, the tacos were great, but the chicken was tough we asked for well done and it was more so over cooked. I will try it again after September 1st when the new menu comes out.

Favorite bar/restaurant Ive been to. Service was decent and prices were standard. The kicker is the entertainment. The pianists were absolutely hilarious, as well as being expert musicians. Their range and ability to play some odd requests (did not expect to hear Metallica on piano) were top notch. Will be revisiting every chance i get!

A disappointing experience. The piano players were entertaining, but that was really the only positive aspect. We ordered the mozzarella sticks. For $9, we expected to get a good amount and for them to be tasty. We got 5 or 6 small chunks of breading with almost no cheese inside. I understand that because of the nature of the establishment prices might be a little inflated, but the food should at least be good. Wont return.

Caught in the rain at Arts Beats and Eats, the Piano man was entertaining and the crowd was lively.

I enjoyed myself. It was interactive and funny. Evan was joking with the audience and everyone was laughing!

Loved the atmosphere, the location and the dueling pianos were GREAT!! The service.....not so much. Booked for NYE, was surprised how the kitchen ran out of food constantly, we had to wait in line for a long time before we could get our food. Also, our waiter was so careless, after numerous attempts to get our waiter to come back to get us more drinks and water we had ordered when we first arrived, we ended up flagging a different waiter that took care of us. Our original waiter even forgot to bring us our chips and salsa, we had to wait at least a half hour for them. Eventually the manager (she said she was) ended up taking over our table (not sure what happened). Also, when we booked, we were never told that we could not order off the menu, so my vegan daughter ended up having to eat grilled onions and green peppers wrapped in a tortilla for dinner. Five stars go to the dueling pianos and the atmosphere, everything else not so much.

Went here for The Office trivea and had a great time! Great sharable drinks and food! Just a tad pricier than other places but Im not complaining

We had plans to come in on Saturday to watch our friend Billy play. Unfortunately he was removed from the schedule by the owner with out explanation. I can not in good conscious recommend this place to anyone.

Great time! Music was fantastic

Went during the St. Practice Day pub crawl. This location wasnt particularly busy compared to the others we visited, but this was one of the better locations.Bartender was very friendly and respectable. Quick recognition, and even quicker service. The drinks were very good as well. Id definitely like to come back for just a regular night.

Its a little out of my wheelhouse to frequent a bar so consistently, but Im far from ashamed to admit 526 Main is where I spend most of my weekend nights. Wednesday through Saturday nights are accompanied by some of the most spectacular and talented musicians I have ever seen. On top of playing much more than just their pianos, each of the pianists has an endless repertoire of music readily available at a moments notice.If that wasnt enough, the rest of the staff meets and exceeds just as many expectations. Bartenders are efficient and enjoyable, while the servers are quick to suggest new alternatives they think would fit your tastes. Recently acquired by new owners, it seems like 526 Main is only trending upwards from here, along with my attendance.

Good night out. Not the best piano bar but entertaining. Table service was very good burger was awesome and i never had an empty drink for the 6 hours we were there.

The atmosphere is amazing. The musicians are wonderful! I personally think the food and drinks are overpriced for what you get and we had to wait a long time for our meals. I want to go back only becuase the show was so good.

The pianos are a lot of fun. It was completely different than I thought it would be. Its not really dueling but rather two in harmony piano players. They take paid requests and can do a lot of different songs. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is my husband and I were not fond of their food. I wish they had a completely different menu.

Atmosphere was a 10/10.On the other hand, the service was really disappointing. We came here for New Year’s Eve, an evening that you had to purchase tickets ahead of time for. Included in the ticket was a buffet. There was no menu online. When I asked my server if he could ask what would be on the buffet menu he said he would ask. This was maybe 25 minutes before the food was served. He didn’t come back to let me know what was being served until the food had already been out for around 10 minutes. Additionally, I was getting to the end of my first drink, so I ordered another beer. Actually, my server offered another beer and I said yes. Around 10 minutes went by, no drink. Someone else came around asking if everyone was okay and I told him about my beer situation and he said “Oh. I’ve had it ready at the bar for around 20 minutes, he never came and got it. I’ll pour you a new one.” That same guy brought it to me. The exact same thing happened with my 3rd drink. Original server offered the refill and never brought it. Had to ask a THIRD server for it. When it came time to pay, the third server cashed us out. Our original server never extended an apology for the slow service, as I would’ve done being a server myself. I understand being busy but this wasn’t being busy. It was being careless. I most likely won’t go out of my way to come here again.

Good atmosphere good music good times!!

Great food, good music, but drinks are a little pricey

The food and drinks were great. Musicians were fun. Overall a good time. Kyle our waiter was amazing

If it was possible to leave 0 stars I would. That Bad...

Great atmosphere! Food is pretty good.

Very upscale place to have drinks! Drinks were pricy but they were made tasty and strong ! So worth the price! Food was outstanding! had a great time with the dueling pianists..

Kyle was an amazing server. The food was great, and the service was excellent.helped the dogs out.charles the manger was very polite and was able to accommodate our needs. The whole team was helpful. Dog friendly place.

Great entertainment, but the food was lacking.

Excellent atmosphere. Kyle was a very good waiter, two amazing musicians, and amazing food.Definitely would recommend.

So. I was going to BIG BANG THEORY TRIVIA NIGHT and my family and I were registered and this place NEGLECTED TO CALL us back before driving there to attend the trivia game that was apparently cancelled. This is rude, frustrating and all around upsetting as this is terrible customer service.

Was there for a private event. pianos sounded great but were too loud for my liking....hard to carry on a conversation. buffet was served on high top tables! for a short gal that was um awkward & difficult. nacho chips were great, but tacos just ok. still wondering why they had the toppings 1st in the buffet line

Great atmosphere service is slow

Great wait staff. Friendly atmosphere

Only gave a 1 because the food was good and the musicians are worth the worst service youll have. Waited for an hour and a half for food for most longer for others. Your better off buying drinks at the bar you wont get them from a waiter for 20 minutes at best.

Great veggie burger! Good flatbread pizza and clever cocktails.

Friendly bartenders and good drinks

Literally the worst. Drinks were weak and over priced, and food was awful. After returning 2 meals we decided to miss the show and to go somewhere else because I was starving. Never again.

Walked in waited to grab a booth, finally did then it all went downhill from there...wait staff ignored our table, clearly walked by us three time, no staff to buss the table (sat there with a dirty table for a half hour). We finally got the waitress to clear off table for her to jus ignore us some more(obviously shes not working for money here, must be her good looks shes paying her bills with) finaly got her to the table ordered one drink ciroc berry cosmo two limes, she came back with drink in hand no napkins I was charged 10.07 for this drink, hour later still being ignored we finally recieve another waitress ordered same drink and she comes back with a bill of 13.25, umm one hour and my same drink is 3.00 more? Needless to say I wont be coming back to this establishment EVER! Royal Oak has become the below mediocre hang out for young adults looking for a good time too bad theyre too young to realize how much theyre being ripped off!

Great night out for a nice relaxing evening. Make sure youre not in a hurry, this is not a quick in and out but more like a dinner show. Kyle and Kristen were very nice and informative. Our 2nd time, and well be back!

Nice bar with a good atmosphere. Our waiter, Kyle, was very helpful and constantly checked on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Overall, good place

Food was okay. Drinks were lousy. Service was very slow. They brought the food and we had no napkins or silverware. We had to sit with several minutes waiting for that in order to start eating. Waitress was very nice. I contacted management and they said they were going to send me a gift card to use but I never received it

Amazing piano players, 5 stars! They knew pretty much every song requested of them.The worst part was the food and service. We had a party of 6 on a Tuesday night. Only a few other tables were getting food the same night so it was not busy by any means. It took more than an hour for 2 meals to come out (both were cold! They were sent back). Another hour for the remaining 4 meals to come out, none of which were very good. The nachos had a weird queso that ruined the flavor. The waitress was unapologetic and we were told the kitchen is slow.I would go back for the entertainment, but dont go for the food until they hire enough kitchen staff!

Really talented musicians, good food, and good service.

The waitress charged us 40 bucks extra. She got our 5 drink orders wrong. Everytime her excuse was since its busy she couldnt get things right! One of the pianist called Tattoo was very rude and his singing was way too dirty and explicit. It was supposed to be a classy night out for us.

Lots of fun but can be pricey

This place is awesome! Pianists are hilarious and know how to put on a show. Kyle was our server. He was quick, funny, and very attentive. Excellent expereince!

I dont know, the drinks were fine . The decore is nice . But I went in wearing my marine swag and got the dirty eye from all the male staff, as if they wanted to test my abilities. Well they might be bigger than me, but I dont care for the muscle guy on steroids feel . So will never go back, for I dont need to prove what kind of man I am ... duh I know how to beat someone up duh ... Thats the way they act ...

The server was great, but slow. The food was definitely not worth the wait. Cool atmosphere, though.

The pianists were very entertaining. They take requests (for tips) and play almost any song they can find the notes for. They even sang a special birthday song for my friend. My meal took a little over a half hour, however, I was with a party of 15+. I would enjoy eating here again.

This place is awesome. First time there and I will go back again. It was not very busy, but the piano players did a great job and were very engaging with all of the patrons. Restaurant was clean, food was good and came out quick and hot

The entertainment was great, energetic and on point. The floor was really good - try the garlic shrimp pasta.

Loved the atmosphere. The dueling piano players interacts with the crowd. Tons of fun.

If you’re looking for a place to go drink and dance, this place is an option. I’ve never stayed downstairs for the dueling pianos, but the dance floor upstairs will likely be super sticky from all the drinks that people spill.

Great place...staff was amazing...foid was great...had a ball

This place was pretty awesome on the nights they had the dueling pianos. Those two were hilarious and good! Drinks and bartenders were good. Our server kinda sucked though but seems like it was her first night. Dont let that shy you away from this place though. You must go!

The wife and I stopped by to watch the show and have a drink from the bar. This was about 3 years ago, it was terrible, the two white heavy set guys doing the show were very racist directing the crowd specifically to us, very poor taste, some people in the audience just gasped in disgust. I dont recommend this place at all, this place should be closed, gives Royal Oak a bad reputation. I still cringe when I walked by this place. We threw in a dollar for them to play Loser and they sent one of the bouncer to kick us out, didnt work when we explained to the bouncer what was taking place. Just a really bad experience.

I would like to attend again. Seemed fun but it was a lot going on.
