Get ready for a wave of birthday parties, live music, and 86-ounce cocktail buckets with names like “Get Lit,” all coming to 7th Street NW in Chinatown this spring.

Howl at the Moon, a national “dueling piano bar” chain that boasts 15 locations across the U.S. and even a Norwegian Cruise Line version (Howl at the Sea), is opening a 500-capacity bar in the old Ping Pong Dim Sum space, as first flagged by PoPville.

For those unfamiliar with the dueling piano concept, think “Dueling Banjos,” but on the keys—two skilled musicians play across from each other in a call-and-response style, matching one another’s increasingly difficult riffs. Senior general manager Paul Mann says the bar will definitely have a few duels each night, but more frequent are the birthday, bachelor, and bachelorette parties, and themed music requests from decades past. Customers pay covers to enter.

Past Howl at the Moon covers include Blackstreet’s “No Diggity,” Frankie Vallie’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You,” and T-Pain’s “All I Do Is Win.” Customers leave song requests on the baby grand pianos and create what Mann calls a “live jukebox” situation in which performers bring crowd members onstage to join the singing.

“Audience participation is a must,” Mann says. “We want our guests dancing, singing, hooting, and hollering … howling at the moon, if you will.”

The most popular menu items are the 86-ounce buckets, though Mann says the company has added new 32-ouncers (for those who have work the next day, perhaps).

The Baltimore location recently announced it will be closing at the end of the month, after a near-20-year run. (The bar once got a shoutout from Amy Schumer, who once told a Baltimore audience: “I know exactly how hot I am. I’d be the third hottest bartender at Howl at the Moon.”)

Many of the staff and entertainers from the Baltimore location are moving to the new D.C. venue, Mann says. “We’re calling this, not a closing, but a relocation because myself, the general manager, and some management team, and all the entertainers are coming from Baltimore to D.C.”

Howl at the Moon offers happy hour party raffles, which—if my college experiences at the Philly location serve as a reliable source of information—are pretty easy to win. The “party” offers your guests free admission, cheap drinks, and a complimentary appetizer buffet.

Mann says Howl at the Moon D.C. is aiming for an early April opening.
