Editorial Review for Rum Runners – by Jennifer Bringle

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.

User Reviews for Rum Runners

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This is one of the coolest piano bars I've been to. It's dueling pianos, they take requests (and play all of them). They'll get the audience singing and clapping, and they play everything from rap to country. My group and I had a blast! Drinks are good, the waitstaff is hot....but the pianos players are awesome. Especially the blonde chick and the guy who had on the Red Sox cap (go Sox!)

Pros: Dueling pianos

Cons: not open on Tuesdays

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

i went to rum runners for my 21st birthday and I definitely regret that decision! The male piano player was an absolutely the rudest person i have ever encountered and he made my experience there terrible. I will admit that I was a little tipsy but I have never felt so insulted by anyone! My 12 friends and I were basically the only people there on a Sunday night and I would assume that our business would be greatly valued, but I guess I was wrong. His rude and sexiest (not in a joking manner) comments were not appreciated!

Pros: cheap drinks

Cons: rude employees
