Pat O'brien's

Fun piano bar with great service and good food! My husband and young adult kids were on a trip to Universal Studios. We were looking for a place in Citywalk without a huge wait. We were able to be seated right away in the piano room. We were able to enjoy the musical stylings of 3 different pianists who were all incredible. The portions of the food seemed a little small for what you pay, BUT the food was absolutely delicious!

We stopped in for an early dinner and the piano players were already going. The service was good and food was so tasty. I ordered jambalaya and it was full of flavor. The piano players were fun with the crowd and had great voices. It wasn't too crowded when we were there, but I'm sure it's a hot spot when the parks close during the dinner rush.

Pat O Briens was a fun night out . We really liked the live piano players dueling piano show. They were fun and lively and knew a lot of music. They were great pianists! We had dinner while we're were there but we were too distracted to take pictures. The food was ok, the one fun cocktail we tried was ok too. Not much alcohol but pretty much what you would expect from a tourist area for food and drink. We switched to beer and wine and stayed until the music stopped. If you've never been to a piano bar ( or even if you have) Pat OBriens is a fun stop in Universal City Walk.

Really fun place. Dueling pianos do lots of sing along songs. They take requests from the audience which is great. Lots of other options very close for other options.

The dueling pianos are AMAZING!!!! This place definitely passed the New Orleans vibe test. We had a great time. Our server was so sweet, I can't say enough good things about her. I got a bowl of gumbo and it was spot on. The flavor was on point. My daughter got jambalaya and it had the perfect amount of spice. And my mom got the blackened chicken breast with red beans and rice. And we finished with some beignets. Everything was delicious and I have no complaints!

Food here was good, with generous portions and plenty of flavor - esp with their yummy jambalaya and how its spices and heat hit just right for me. However, the main issue for me this night was how slow the service was because it took about an hour for me to get my food - though I'd attribute it to how short staffed this place seemed, as it appeared that there was only one server for the half of the restaurant I was seated at. Regardless, it's a pretty chill piano bar with cute and cozy vibes.TL;DRFood: 4/5Service: 3/5Friendliness? 4/5Atmosphere 4/5Convenience if at Universal Resorts? 5/5Groovy Piano Bar Experience? 5/5Mardi Gras? 6/5Would consider coming again.

This is a fun place to hangout and listen to live music. Some of the musicians have been working here for over 15 years. They keep it PG before 10pm but it can get a bit more relaxed after 10pm when they stop allowing kids under 18 in. Some nights are better than others, but they have no control over what people request. It's a lot of 70s and 80s songs mainly. They will play more current songs if they can find the sheet music online. I will probably stick to ordering sparkling wine since it's from the small bottles and not free pour. The pinot grigio I ordered from the piano bar was a light pour. They have at least three bars here but I haven't walked through the entire restaurant. They have limited seating at the bar to the left when you walk in. So if you want to hang out here and watch a sporting event, get here early. They also have a drink to go window that opens onto the upper area of CityWalk. You're allowed to take drinks around CityWalk but they won't let you past the exit toward the parking area. I have noticed that they don't seem to check if you have a drink that doesn't look like alcohol. They also don't check bags again as you leave the park.

The pulled pork sliders were tasty. The soft pretzels are a fave of mine. But, the beer cheese was a bit too salty for my taste. It was a fun vibe overall. The pianists are talented. They pretty much were able to sing nearly all of our requests and they encourage singing along. I would recommend an occasional DJ to diversify the entertainment.

This is my favorite restaurant on CityWalk after a tiring day of theme park fun. The concept is a dueling piano bar with Cajun/Creole food! I recommend making a reservation on Universal's website - it's easy and this restaurant can get crowded during dinner rush! I do not recommend walking in because you might get seated on the patio, which is away from the lively piano musicians in the bar. The singers and piano players were fantastic and they were taking song requests from the crowd. My fiancé and I didn't order any drinks and opted for some yummy dinner selections instead - Mardi Gras Gumbo (bowl), Jambalaya, Bayou Blackened Catfish. My favorite out of the three was the Gumbo. Excellent flavor and big chunks of shrimp! The soup was piping hot. The catfish had a great cook and a delicious andouille cream sauce. My least favorite was actually the jambalaya. I wish it was hotter and more they were more generous with the protein. The average price of an entree is $17, which may seem steep to some reviewers but it's pretty on par with other restaurants in CityWalk. My fiancé and I are from San Francisco, so the pricing was not scary for us at all (we're just happy we're not paying SF prices lol)

The Hurricane was tasty! It was very busy after the T-Pain concert, but both bartenders did amazing given the amount of people that all came at once and having to work the outside wall up window.
