A piano bar brings a welcome change to the norm and gives you an opportunity to hear a trained professional tickle the ivories right in front of you. The live music experience is often much better than anything you will hear over the speakers in a dirty club or bar that is being played by the DJ. Don’t think, however, that all of these piano bars are stuffy and no fun. Many are the the main spots for bachelorette parties and wild birthdays as well.
