Jellyroll's or Yehaa Bob?

[JRawkSteady]

There is a cover for Jellyrolls - last time I went it was $10. It's a piano bar. Not really a show OR a lounge. The entire audience gets involved. I love it! It's opened til 2AM - the later the better!

The only thing you have to watch out for is Cast Member nights (where the CMs get in for free). A couple times we went and the pianists spent the entire time focusing on their friends and ignored every one of our song requests. But that was 2 times out of about 35, so the odds of that happening is slim.

Personally, I would choose Jellyrolls over any other nighttime entertainment, hands down.

I've never heard of Bobs.
Where is it and how can I find out when he is playing?
Can I order drinks wherever he plays?
Thanks.

We have seen Bob 3 times now. He is at the River Roost Lounge at Port Oleans Riverside.
First of all, it Is at a Lounge so of course it is an adult atmosphere but when Bob plays it is more family orientated. Yes you definitely can order drinks and food and can even order a meal from the Boatwright menu. Boatwrights is right next door with same kitchen I'm thinking. Though Disney's site says Bob is only 1/2 hour 3 times. Not so. It is almost an hour long twice a night. He is only there Wednesday thru Sunday.
I recommend going to his Yehaa Bob website. His name is Bob Jackson. You can learn more about him and see his schedule and even buy a few items. lol
We go there a 1/2 hour before his show. Can get a table seat and Bob goes around the room before his show meeting the audience.
Had a hard time talking a 40 year old to see it the first time (the kids wanted to see him) and now She makes sure we schedule him in during WDW visits. The best part for me is seeing people (including guys over 40) letting go and physically interacting with Bob and audience. Definitely a FUN NIGHT.

Can someone share more info on Jellyrolls?
Is there a cover charge? Is it a show or more of a lounge?
What is a good time to get there...is going after Epcot closes a good plan?

The cover charge is now $12 but I feel it's worth it. Jellyrolls is a 21+ dueling piano bar located on Disney's Boardwalk. There are 4 piano players nightly who play all-request songs. Doors open at 7pm, music starts at 8pm. You should be fine to see Illuminations then head over and be able to get a table.

Enjoy!

I'm staying at POR in 3 weeks, and will make it a point to see Bob's show! I've never been.
Not too sure if we'll make it to Jellyrolls though. We're not big on dueling piano bars.

We have done both and prefer Bob. It was hilarious and interactive. He is quite the entertainer.

Jellyrolls is very loud. There is a cover charge to get in and then if you want to request a song, you have to put money in the tip jar along with your request. I suspect the higher the tip, the better chance your song gets played. Then there's the cost for drinks as well. We had one drink and left.

We were a group of 4-20 somethings and 2-40 somethings.

Jellyrolls is awful. $12 cover. No food. Waitress was short with us. Drinks come in plastic. $12.50 for a 4 oz martini in a plastic cup? Oh no! We left and went to ESPN Zone and had a great time!
