The theme driving HATM is audience participation. Piano players take requests for varying amounts of money and the audience sings along. Special contests for Armed Forces fight songs, college fight songs, country vs. rap and so on are popular. "The World's Most Dangerous Wait Staff" serves the crowd drinks and occasionally does a dance number.
Nightclub and Bar Magazine recently named HATM as one of its 100 best of 2005.
The first HATM opened in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1990. It is the brainchild of Jimmy Bernstein.
