With wedding season in high gear, one must take a second to review past public humiliations of their dance moves and learn from their mistakes. Whether you tripped over grandma during the macarena, or split your pants during the electric slide, you know it’s time to polish your moves, buddy.

Howl at the Moon to the rescue. We’ve compiled a list of the top 5 songs you can expect to hear weddings as well as at the dueling piano bar that rocks!

5. Jump On It – Sir Mix a Lot
Carlton and his flash mob NAIL “Jump On It” by Sir Mix-A-Lot (aka – “Apache” by Sugar Hill Gang) as well as a little shimmy to Tom Jone’s “It’s Not Unusual”. Come on pussycat – jump on it!

4. Electric Slide.
The Electric Slide. Ever heard of it? If not, you probably should get out more. We guarantee you’ll be scooted onto the dance floor by Uncle Rico to this retro jam.

3. Cha Cha Slide
Not to be outdone by the Electric Slide, the CHA CHA Slide comes in as Howl at the Moon’s #3 song you wish would go away but won’t! You might need a bucket of booze before going out on the floor for this one.

2. Cupid Shuffle – Cupid
One of the newer group dances, The Cupid Shuffle, is simple yet satisfying. Plus, it’s a great way to get Grandma to two step!

1. Shout – Otis Day
Ohh yeah! You know you’re gonna end the night to this one (if you haven’t already passed out by now). You should hear this one on dueling pianos!

As Memorial Day approaches, we gear up for the three day long weekend that jump-starts the summer, but most importantly we are reminded of those who have passed on while serving our nation. It is a weekend to reflect on how fortunate we are as Americans and why we are able to live the lives we live today. If it weren’t for those people who made the ultimate sacrifice so that the rest of us can live freely and in safety, our country would be a much different place. With that being said, we take this time to remember those we have lost, and celebrate our freedom, family, and friends and there is no place like Howl to do so!

On Sunday, May 27th (and Saturday, May 26th in Minneapolis), our entertainers will be ready and waiting to take all of your Memorial Day requests to make this the greatest bash ever! From, Born In The USA, by Bruce Springsteen,

God Bless The U.S.A., by Lee Greenwood,

to Nicki Minaj, and the Beastie Boys, our dueling pianos will be rockin’ all night! And the drinks will be flowin’, too.

For those of you traveling to a Howl City this Memorial Day Weekend, or for those of you who live in a Howl City, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Denver , Hollywood, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Louisville, Minneapolis (promotion is Saturday, May 26th!), Orlando, San Antonio), we would love to kickoff the summer with you! To see what we have in store for you, check out location, What’s Happening, and Memorial Day Bash.

Can’t wait!

Cheers!

With Cinco de Mayo being this Saturday, May 5th (check out your local Howl for featured drinks! Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Denver , Hollywood, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Louisville, Minneapolis, Orlando, San Antonio), I thought it would be fun and timely to write about all things MARGARITA! Mexican is my favorite type of food and with Mexican food come the margaritas, so I have definitely had my fair share of them and have probably turned into a little margarita-snob overtime. I like them strong and not sweet with lots of ice, no salt, on the rocks…with a squeeze of lime to top it off. One is usually enough given the right proportions and ingredients, but it can be easy to get suckered into multiple if the mood is right! And at Howl, the mood is always right .

All of our locations nationwide (13 and counting!) are featuring 1800 Tequila Margaritas on Saturday.  In them you will taste a combination of Blue Curacao, margarita mix, and 1800 tequila! This tequila is fabulous and in the midst of my soapbox on margarita snobbery, I will say it supplements the margarita very nicely. It makes for a ‘not too sweet’ taste and enough umph to take the edge off!

Working for a bar, new drink recipes come as a right of passage and I’d love to share some of my favorite margaritas with you!

1. Moon-a-Rita (How fitting!)

2. Frozen Cherry Margarita

3. Blue Lagoon Margarita

4. Grapefruit Margarita

5. Cilantro Lime Tequila Spritzer (With Jalapeno Slices!)

Of course, there are plenty of other drink recipes where those came from and you can find them on our Pinterest page!  We will continue to pin new stuff to our boards so be sure to keep checking us out.

On that note, I’ll leave you with a little Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville” to brighten your day.  I’m off to buy more ingredients for Cinco!

Cheers!

Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner which means it’s time to pull that sombrero out of your closet (or suitcase for all of you spring breakers), grab your maracas, and Cha Cha your way to the nearest Howl on Saturday, May 5th! We will have Mexican decor and drinks that will have you singing with the mariachi band by the end of the night! From Coronas, 1800 Margaritas, and 86 oz Blue Margarita Buckets-of-Booze (meant to be shared with four or more people), Howl will have all the ingredients for the ultimate Cinco de Mayo fiesta. Our entertainers will be ready and waiting for your requests to rock the party all the way down to Mexico! Check out what your nearest Howl is doing for Cinco!

Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Denver , Hollywood, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Louisville, Minneapolis, Orlando, San Antonio

Costumes and accessories are not required to party with us but are definitely encouraged! Here are some of our favorite Cinco de Mayo accessories:

SOMBREROS AND MUSTACHES

PONCHOS

If you can’t make it on Cinco de Mayo, don’t you worry; we’ll have the Blue Margarita Buckets available for your enjoyment throughout the month of May! Olé!

You’ve hung up your jumbo sombrero, gotten your replacement iPhone, and have a plethora of submissions for Texts from Last Night. Welcome back from spring break! Although the beaches are long gone as well as some of your dignity, it doesn’t mean you have to stop the party. Howl at the Moon is here to pick you up where Cancun or South Padre left off!

Come drown your spring break blues in a Bucket of Booze and re-live those nights you may have forgotten (remember to share your bucket with four friends or more)! Whether you’re in LA or Beantown, your local Howl can keep the party going.

When I was born the first sound I ever made was a perfect rendition of Billy Joel’s “Piano Man.” The doctor cried out, “Your voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus. This is gonna sound weird, but for a second, I think you took on the shape of a unicorn.” Right then and there my parents nicked named me, “The Boss.” My godparents, Guns N’ Roses, used to refer to me as [their], ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine.’ I learned how to moonwalk like Michael Jackson except on piano keys before I could crawl. At three I wrote the, ‘Star Spangled Banner’, aka the national anthem you may have heard of it before and performed it the next day. Then at five, I inspired John Lennon to write the song, ‘Imagine’ with one of my finger paintings. At thirteen I was reason for, ‘Oops!… I Did it Again,’ I may have been a bad influence on Britney Spears, whoops. When I turned twenty-one Don McLean sang to me, “bye-bye, Miss American Pie,’ and he, “drove my chevy to the levee,” aka Lake Michigan and I’ve been in Chicago ever since.

Ooh look, “It’s Five O’ Clock Somewhere…”

At least that’s what I tell my buddy, Jimmy Buffett. Now my stage is the piano bar, ‘Howl at the Moon.’ Some say it’s the greatest dueling piano bar in the country; thanks Elton John, I appreciate your work too! Come find me and I will, “pour [you] something tall and strong.” You can sit with Alan Jackson while I play you a tune. Before you know it, you’ll be screaming, ‘Build Me Up Buttercup,’ with the Temptations.

Suddenly you’ll transform into a ‘Dancing Queen,’ with Abba. You and Pat Benatar will be screaming to the bartenders, ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot.’ By the end of the night we’ll all be howling at the moon.

Since 1990, Howl at the Moon has prided itself on ensuring an unforgettable evening! Our high-energy concept gets the crowd up out of their chairs and singing along with the players. Our entertainers play everything from Billy Joel to Kiss to LMFAO- you name it , we’ll play it.

And what mixes better with live entertainment, singing and dancing than our nationally recognized drink menu. It’s full of classic drinks with a twist, like for instance the Twisted Shirley, or our Strong Island Iced Tea. If you’re really thirsty you can venture to taste our famous 86oz Sex on the Moon Buckets. For the shot takers out there- you haven’t tried anything until you’ve tasted our oversized Jell-O injectors served by our always friendly and often costumed servers.
