Best Place To Humiliate Out-of-town Guests

Pete's Dueling Piano Bar

The two players at Pete's, each at their own piano on stage, are a hilarious pair. Not just because they poke endless fun at each other, but because they are just as relentless to customers. Don't do anything to stand out, because they have the mikes and they aren't afraid to use them. (One of our redheaded friends once found the entire bar calling him "Opie," and that was a tame night.) Take those out-of-towners to Pete's for a beer if you're out on Sixth, and make sure to tell the players your friends aren't local (as if they can't tell.) The place is a blast for anyone with a sense of humor, but a word of caution: This may not be the place for grandma's virgin ears!
