Be a part of the party at Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar. Every performance features 4 entertainers taking the stage in two-person rotations, each playing two baby grand pianos to create an atmosphere with high energy and great vibes. You’ll catch the waitresses and staff clapping, dancing, and singing while encouraging you to do the same, and since crowd participation is such a big part of the show, you may end up on stage at the end of the night if you’re bold enough.

Want to step outside of the normal club scene? The Scat Jazz Lounge is reminiscent of the underground and speakeasy-style clubs filled with live music, friends, and amazing cocktails, just like you’ve seen so many times in films and TV. The retro feel paired with the New York tradition of “scat” makes for a dark night in a room illuminated with tunes from the best local, national, and regional talent.

Drive-Ins and Ranches
The Coyote Drive-In is one of the lasting few drive-in movie theaters in the country and you don’t have to have a car to have a great time.

What’s a movie without great snacks? The on-site Coyote Canteen has a full menu with pizza, burgers, nachos, beer, wine, and more.
