Park Bench Battery

Manager John was off putting and everything seemed lazy with no promotion. just a wing and a prayer. Not coming back

This place is ok. All depends on what you like. The piano players are great! They are talented and fun. It seemed they play mostly requests, which come in abundance, so the songs will reflect they audience/patrons. A LOT of country songs. Meh...not my thing. The crowd & vibe is very suburban. But the Battery vibe in general feels suburban. Also, not my thing. I miss the stadium being in the city, I suppose, and enjoy more of an urban feel. The drinks were good and bartenders were good as well. The seating is also nice. Spacious inside. I wouldn't go back, but I can see why it's a popular spot.

Terrible I waited forever for my food.

Park Bench is literally the best place in the Battery! They play all the best music, and the performers do a great job of engaging the crowd. John, Larry, and all the staff are extremely friendly and awesome to work with. Additionally, I have hosted numerous private events here, and plan to host many more. I highly recommend Park Bench for a night out, and for any private event you are looking to host.

The painos are juat keyboards on cheap paino boxes. The acts arent very talented either . Low end soda, no food, no draft beers, and the manager john is creepy. He also has no chin, which is an off-putting facial deformity. The owner is a crook also, that's why his last business folded.

Racist security/bouncers work here. One grabbed my wrist abruptly and told me to “get the F outta here” when I simply and politely asked why he chose not to ID a large group of younger white patrons but chose to ID me, a black male. Escalated the situation more than it needed to be. I spoke to the other black security guards that patrol the battery and they explained to me that this is how this place is and that I’m better off going somewhere else since they always do stuff like that and get away with it. I will never come here and will also tell my peers not to support this business.

Fun place to go and listen to battle pianos

Amazing venue and a grand slam location within the battery! Live entertainment is excellent and not to mention the stage, lights, and sound! Perfect place to watch the game, grab some drinks, and check out some awesome live entertainment (dueling pianos, solo performers, and bands).

I wanted to like this place, but it fell short on too many points. I went to Park Bench Battery last weekend with friends for a piano battle show. Although the performers were talented, fun, and entertaining, we could barely understand what they were saying (please hire a sound engineer). We were at a wooden booth, but after a couple of hours, we noticed it could be a little more comfortable. Finally, the place had no food or snack. The only star goes to the bartender, who was super friendly and efficient.
