88 Keys Piano Bar & Cafe

A hidden gem located in Watertown. The piano player was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, and the drinks were really good. Great place to go on a date.

Don’t bother making a reservation because apparently they will just cancel it if they feel like it. My partner and I made a reservation a month in advance for an anniversary dinner specifically on a Friday to get the 2 for $88 deal. 2 weeks before our reservation we receive an email saying our reservation has been cancelled as they have decided to host another event that night. The only other day we could reserve was Saturday after, which is not a day the deal is active. I had already taken the time off from work and made plans around this initial reservation. What is the point of making a reservation if your spot is just going to be given up anyways? Will be going to another place because this is just ridiculous.

Has a very intimate and cool vibe. The musical guest was great, and the drinks were on point. Would def return for an evening of entertainment.

Great music & drinks!! Lively entertainment. Great place to sit back, relax & enjoy!!

Get the Burrata!!

Do yourself a favor and stop on in to 88 Keys. Don't miss the Espresso Martini! Great service and atmosphere too!

We had dinner first at the Library - and at our server Bobby’s suggestion - went to their piano bar next door, 88 Keys. SO much fun and the perfect night cap to our evening! We hung out for several hours, put in a few song requests and had some delicious drinks - like a chocolate martini and some other drink that was like a thin mint Girl Scout cookie cocktail. Tasty! The band was so talented - they knew a range of fun music - and everyone was so friendly.

I hosted a surprise anniversary party for my parents at 88 Keys this summer and I cannot say enough about how perfect of a venue it was! The food was absolutely delicious, the music was great, and the vibe was flawless. The staff took great care of us and made sure everything went smoothly. I had a wide range of ages at the party but the space really allowed for everyone to be comfortable and have a good time. We even had quite a dance party going (shout out Madz Music and her band)! My parent's friends and family are still raving about the party months later. I highly recommend 88 for any private event!

Saw the most fabulous singer at 88 Keys this week. She is Connecticuts best kept secret!(but not for long). Her name is Kylah Aleda. Her sultry voice and style had me mesmerized. She is scheduled to perform there on a monthly basis. Can’t wait to see her again!

Great live music and server! We got wine and dessert after dinner.

One of our favorite places! The food and drinks are always perfect, presentation is on point, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. The vibe is very much like a speakeasy, which is at the top of our list. We come back as often as we can.
