Nightlife in Arlington

Owned by a duo of experienced piano duelers, Louie Louie's Piano Bar invites crowds to sing along as two pianists belt out song requests and tickle the ivories during interactive improvised performances. Though the duelists’ weapons include traditional crowd pleasers such as "Sweet Caroline" and "Brown Eyed Girl," they encourage audience members to petition for personal favorites from all eras, from Frank Sinatra to ZZ Top. Players pull birthday girls and bachelors onstage for rowdy celebratory serenades, and groups of friends can fashion large pizzas into edible pie charts depicting each pianist’s win percentage.

Athletes dunk, dart from first to second base, and dribble down soccer fields at The Labb, yet the eatery has no sporting equipment. Instead, athletes can be seen competing on the bar’s high-definition TVs, and onlookers nosh on hearty sandwiches, hot dogs, and helpings of Frito pie. The Labb’s sandwiches range from the Cuban—stuffed to the brim with pork loin, ham, and Swiss cheese—to a reinterpretation of the BLT with turkey and avocado. Meanwhile, hot dogs come with eclectic toppings, such as chili, pico de gallo, avocado, blue cheese, and sprinkles.
