Once the kids are settled with a sitter — or old enough to tag along for an early set — Howl at the Moon is the best night out we send guests to. It’s a dueling piano bar tucked inside ICON Park, and the concept is simple: two pianists, a room full of strangers, and a night that turns into one long sing-along. The playlist swings from classic rock to current pop to full-on party anthems, and the energy builds fast once the room warms up. There’s a full bar, a lively but not rowdy crowd, and enough space to grab a table or stand near the stage if you want to be part of the show. It’s a genuinely fun way to spend a couple of hours without needing to plan much — just show up, order a drink, and let the pianists do the work. Weeknights tend to be more laid-back, while weekends get loud and packed, so go with your crowd’s energy in mind. It pairs perfectly with an earlier dinner or a spin on ICON Park’s observation wheel next door, making for one full, easy evening out on International Drive.
