What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise the incredibly talented and engaging dueling piano performers who take requests and create a high-energy atmosphere. The bucket drinks and interactive show make it a fun spot for celebrations and a lively night out. Some guests noted inconsistent service and a few rude staff members, but the overall entertainment value is a major draw. +1
"The music and ambiance was fun, and so were the guests. Loved all of the selections of music and especially loved the interactions the folks on stage (who were singing and playing instruments) were having with the audience. Great job on reading the crowd.
The food was okay.
The drink selections for the folks that were wearing the wristbands weren't many. So for those that like their drinks, pay attention to the choices if you want to sign up for some sort of event, e.g. Birthday. Good thing I only drink water, so I gave my tickets away.
There was one fellow worker there that was pretty rude with regards to who can sit where. There's a way to explain to folks what the procedures are without speaking to someone as if they are less than you. Thankfully, it wasn't to me, because I would have definitely spoken up, but unfortunately, it was to a friend who was celebrating their birthday, so my hands were tide, because I didn't want to ruin their experience.
But definitely, there needs to be some training for that individual, on how he speaks with patrons, especially when the patron is the Birthday person, and behaves super classy."

"We held a Client Appreciation event at Howl at the Moon on I-Drive last weekend. From the first contract to set up the Happy Hour there was great communication between HATM and my team. It went off without a flaw and my guests certainly enjoyed themselves. From singing with the performers to tipping back a few beverages everyone was happy! We will definitely be doing another event there!"
The Fraser Team
"Everyone had an amazing time. I prepaid for 5 tables and it worked out perfectly. The tables were grouped together and we had our designated waitress. The musicians were very talented, everyone was friendly and prices were great! It was the most fun I have had in a bar in a very long time. I will definitely go back."
