Like a communal karaoke sing-along, nights at the Big Bang are never dull, and the songs are never sung on-key. This underground dueling piano bar features two pianists, sometimes accompanied by drums, who have the lyrics and tune of every song known to man memorized. Just scribble "Sweet Home Alabama" on a napkin, toss it on the piano with a $10 bill, and you'll be singing along in no time with hundreds of your closest friends. The players' repertoires range from classics like "American Pie" to Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy," with a little Tenacious D and Jimmy Buffet thrown in for good measure. Be forewarned: The drinks at Big Bang are pricey and weak, so we recommend pre-gaming before your night out. Besides, the happier you are before you get to the bar, the more likely you are to start belting out tunes as soon as you get in the door.
