Brown’s Corner: Dueling Piano Bar and Grill


Brown's Corner has been a timeless Tuscaloosa tradition on the corner of Greensboro Avenue and University Boulevard for many decades ("Brown's Corner"). Upon entering Tuscaloosa from I-359, this rustic piece of local history is one of the first visible buildings. Although Brown's Corner was established decades ago, it hasn't housed many successful restaurants until now ("Brown's Corner"). News of this fledgling restaurant, a dueling piano bar and grill, is attracting an entirely new crowd and spreading through word-of-mouth like wildfire. There has been a lot of exciting buzz about this grill since its opening, and many have found its size, atmosphere, quality, and service to be top notch.

From the first glance, it's easy to see why everyone is making such a big fuss about Brown's: it's huge! There are not only one, but two floors to accommodate guests and even a third floor for private parties such as wedding receptions and fraternity socials ("Brown's Corner"). On the main floor sits an enormous round bar equipped to entertain the large nighttime crowds, while a smaller, less-crowded bar adorns the second floor. Because of the ample amount of available tables, Brown's Corner can serve tons of hungry people quickly and efficiently. The restaurant's furniture is both in excellent shape and surprisingly comfortable for customers, and its floors are pretty spotless thanks to the speedy clean-up crew. In addition to its large size, Brown's Corner also has an atmosphere fir for any college student of Tuscaloosa resident looking for a good time.

Brown's Corner's performers, employees, and decorations culminate to create an upbeat, entertaining environment. Strings of white lights line both the second level handrails and five or six big screens across the restaurant. In addition to the dining area, Brown's Corner also has a must-see dueling piano show! Playing everything from Eric Clapton to Outkast, the pianists make sure the crowd is involved in every aspect of the night's performance ("Planet Weekly"). The professionals even crack jokes and sing college fight songs, hoping to receive hefty tips from their supporters. Not only does this local hot spot host some of the best live, interactive entertainment, they also serve some of the best gourmet food.

As wonderful as the size and atmosphere of Brown's are, the quality of its food is what makes it out of this world. Their menu consists of everything from savory fried turkey croissants to gigantic stuffed burgers and garden-fresh salads (Waiter). The Rajun Cajun, an eight-ounce burger served with pepper jack cheese and jalapenos topped with Cajun Ranch, is only one of the amazing options. It is served on a Ciabatta bun accompanied by seasoned waffle fries that could make any customer's mouth water. The Rajun Cajun has a great kick that makes countless customers consistently want to come back for more! Along with the tasty food, Brown's Corner offers many great deals on dozens of popular drinks. Brown's also realizes that the person serving their food is just as important as the food itself.

One last aspect that Brown's Corner excels in is its premium service. The waiters and waitresses are always personal be and more than willing to serve their customers. They constantly make sure customers have enough to drink and endlessly fill water cups. When asked about the restaurant, one enthusiastic employee answered, " They serve lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, and host dueling piano shows every Thursday through Saturday starting at 9 p.m."

Judging by all the positive aspects of the restaurant, the new Brown's Corner seems to be on the road to success. Exciting piano duels, massive screen televisions, and incredible personable waiters are just the beginning of an excellent night out in the Tuscaloosa area. With its impressive size, atmosphere, quality, and service, Brown's Corner cannot help but be a hit.
