At Bobby McKey’s Dueling Piano Bar, our guests are all about having a great time, whether it’s through music, drinks, or good ol’ friendly competition! We thought it would be fun to host a “Daily Duel” series on our social media, where you all could share preferences on everything from music legends to classic drinks. Now, it’s time to reveal the results and show how these choices mirror the energy we bring to our live shows!
Prince vs. Michael Jackson
Our guests leaned toward the Purple One—Prince! Just like Prince’s electrifying performances, our piano shows are all about unforgettable energy, unexpected twists, and unmatched creativity. It’s no wonder the crowd loves the artist who brought us “Purple Rain,” a staple song that often lights up the stage at our venue!
Mimosas vs. Bloody Marys
Mimosas took the crown here! They’re light, fun, and celebratory—just like the vibe we aim for during our monthly Sunday Boozy Brunch shows. Whether you’re partaking in Bottomless Mimosas or checking out our fantastic Bloody Mary flight, you’ll find something to make your Sunday a Funday.
Apple Cinnamon vs. Pumpkin Spice
Apple cinnamon edged out pumpkin spice—perhaps because it’s got that warm, comforting flavor that pairs perfectly with the excitement of our piano battles. Autumn may bring the pumpkin craze, but at Bobby McKey’s, we’re always about those unexpected choices that spice up the night.
Breakfast Club vs. Heathers
Classic ‘80s film The Breakfast Club was the winner here. The movie’s nostalgic vibes mirror the timeless tunes you’ll hear at our shows—songs that take you back to when music connected people. Just like that ragtag group in The Breakfast Club, our audience comes together for a shared experience!
Billie Eilish’s ‘Birds of a Feather’ vs. Chappell Roan’s ‘HOTTOGO’
Billie Eilish’s mellow, emotional track “Birds of a Feather” beat out Chappell Roan’s hit. Eilish’s storytelling style resonates with our crowd, who know that music at Bobby McKey’s is all about the emotions and connections shared with the audience.
Vodka vs. Gin
Vodka came out on top, which fits perfectly with our crowd’s taste for versatility and fun! Whether it’s in a cocktail or a straight-up shot, vodka flows freely, fueling the good vibes during our piano battles.
Jello Shots vs. Beer Towers
This was a close one, but Jello Shots won! Maybe it’s because they bring a little bit of the unexpected, just like the surprises that come with each song request during our shows.
Marvel vs. DC
Marvel beat DC in the comic world, and we see the same enthusiasm for these epic heroes as we do for our epic musical duels. Just like Marvel’s action-packed, entertaining stories, we keep our audience on the edge of their seats!
Friends vs. Seinfeld
Friends took the lead, likely because it’s all about good times, laughs, and friendships—just like the atmosphere we create at Bobby McKey’s. Whether you come with your friends or make new ones, you’ll feel right at home here.
Dogs vs. Cats
The dog lovers won this one, and we totally get it! Dogs are known for their energy, loyalty, and fun-loving nature—three things that match the experience you get when you’re in the crowd at our shows!
Washington Nationals vs. Baltimore Orioles
Our audience picked the Washington Nationals! Just like our piano battles, the rivalry between these two teams is a fun, spirited competition. At Bobby McKey’s, we celebrate winning moments, whether it’s on the stage or in sports.
What’s clear from all these preferences is that our audience loves a little bit of competition, whether it’s choosing between Prince and Michael Jackson or cheering for their favorite team. And that’s exactly what we do every night at Bobby McKey’s—bring the excitement, the music, and the friendly battles that make each night memorable.
Join us for a show, where you can sip on your favorite drink (Jello shots, anyone?), belt out a Marvel theme song, and maybe even watch a piano duel that feels as epic as a Nationals vs. Orioles game.
