Dueling pianos: Cool or not?

Downtown Columbus hot spot Flip Flops recently wrote a Facebook wall post asking if the bar should host dueling pianos on Thursdays.

They got a variety of responses.

It's an interesting question, especially since Columbus hasn't had a dueling pianos night since The Vault closed its doors a few months ago.

Is our nightlife scene missing something without dueling pianos? I don't know.

Make no mistake: A dueling pianos night, or nights, has advantages. It's something different, a scene that offers a distinctly different vibe from the standard live entertainment.

Then again, if you have dueling pianos as your sole shtick, you might have a hard time surviving in a relatively small town. Dueling pianos night is fun, but it's rarely something you want to do every weekend. It's more of a once a month party option.

Weigh in: Does Columbus need a dueling pianos night?
