What People Are Saying About Rum Runners

In Short – Mix one part tropical paradise and one part rowdy piano bar and you get the unique flavor of this hot spot. Vibrant tropical flowers and thatched tiki huts give the atmosphere a Caribbean feel. The bar serves fruity drinks and pub grub, but the stars of the club are the two dueling baby grand pianos on a stage in the main bar. There's also acoustic music and karaoke in the smaller bar.

Tons of Fun
by Bahbie123 at Citysearch
I have been to Rum Runners a few times, but I had such a great time the last time I was there I decided I would write a review. I tried to make reservations but the room was booked so I couldn't. When I got there a waitress saw me and told me a table was signing there checks and would be up in a minute if I wanted the seat. They had an amazing special that night and it was a Friday...a good special on a Friday. The piano players were fun, but I found out there was a dance club attached to the bar, how did I never know about this! All and all I had a great time, I received amazing service- at both bars, and I will be back soon. I don't like that they don't have food, but I found out they let you order pizza that will deliver right to the bar.
- Pros: Funny entertaining show
- Cons: no food

Awesome Show, Great Service

I went to Rum Runners with some friends for a Birthday party and we had a blast. We got my friend on stage for her birthday and they sang a hilarious song to her... it was pretty naughty, but verrrry funny. Their drink specials are awesome, and they even have a dance club in the back now if you get tired of singing along to the piano show you can go dance. I'll definatly be back!
- Pros: Staff was fast and friendly, Piano Show was great
- Cons: No Food

Will never be back

Rude service, bad drinks, some of the worst singers I ever heard. Bartenders seemed like they wanted to talk to themselves more than wait on customers. Piano players ignored the requests and used profanity in every song.
