Keys on Main – Costa Mesa

Disclosure

I love it when I find gems in Orange County that I had no idea existed! When I was in my 20’s I used to socialize at Piano Bars all the time and it was always such a great time! Then suddeny they all started going out of business and they were impossible to find or too far to drive to.

Well, last month all of that changed for me. I was invited to attend a media night at the popular hot spot “Key’s on Main” in Costa Mesa.  This high energy dueling piano bar is strategically located on the corner of The Triangle in Costa Mesa. Parking is ample albeit very packed in the evenings.

There are two grand pianos on stage with several extremely talented musicians playing and singing your requests all night long. The musicians have worked for decades to learn thousands of songs and can sing and play any number of them for you at a moments notice. Anything that’s been on the radio for the last 65 years is game. Typical songs request include everything from Bon Jovi to Billy Joel, Bruno Mars to Garth Brooks.  On the evening i attended they played Eminem, Snoop Dog, Sublime and so much more. It was  like attending a rock concert of my favorite bands!
