Super Great Place to Dance!!
by Yeehaarider
NOTE: The house band performs Tuesday thru Saturday. I took my date on Thursday September 24, 2009. Parking was easy and the parking lot of only medium quality lighting. We went, expecting one or two people on piano taking requests, instead we found an excellent house band. The house band starts playing at 9:45 and our 10:00 arrival was perfect. The band, two guys on keyboards and a drummer, played beat oriented 70's and 80's music. Middle aged people twirled and swung on the dance floor. The house band was of excellent caliber and my 25 year old date wasn't just impressed, we're going back soon. The service was good. Drinks cost 10 bucks each. My one complaint is that the drinks are powerful, very powerful. I ordered a rum and cola, being used to a 20 percent rum, 80 percent cola mixture. Not only was my drink at least sixty percent rum, it was the very powerful 151 rum. My date commented that her drinks were also on the powerful side. If you like dancing and full strength drinks, this is your place.
Pros: Great Music & Ambience
Cons: Drinks are too powerful

It's 5 o'clock on a Saturday

Oh it's 5 o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in. And the old man, sitting next to me, is making love to his tonic and gin.
If you are wanting a place to hang out, unwind, and enjoy great entertainment, visit this bar for a great time. The bartender makes great drinks and knows the regulars by name. He is attentive to his crowd, and the prices are reasonable. They even have a popcorn machine for those of you who have the munchies when you drink.
They have a great juke box that has all the great classics. The piano player, Travis, is so talented. They band knows how to involve the crowd.
On one occasion, this female singer called three women, including myself, on stage to have a dance off. It was spontaneous and fun.
Free parking in a small lot, next to the House of Pies.
Caps piano bar is one of the last remaining piano bars in Houston, and it is well worth the visit.
Pros: music, alcohol, service
Cons: really? i don't have any.
