Redhead Piano Bar is our happy place! We always have the best time with our loved ones- singing, dancing, and enjoying some cocktails. We decided to kick off our wedding weekend here with our families and wedding party. The coordinator was amazing in helping us figure out the best way to do this (we ended up reserving the front booth). The service was great and everyone was so attentive. Thank you for an unforgettable evening!!

Been here before, thought that when I asked the bartender when it was closing time if we could stick around and sip our beers he would be HONEST with me, apparently not… instead was harassed by the pit of the bar way before closing time, and scared my friend into oblivion, very confusing because we literally asked the bartender if we could stick around to finish our drinks and he said YES, he said that we were good to finish drinks until 5am which was official closing time. But literally at 4:19am another team member basically pressured us to finish and leave immediately which was confusing compared to closing time.

Attentive staff and decent drinks. The place is dark and could use an update. We were there on a weeknight and the performer was good on the piano but less so with his voice.

Worth a visit if you like piano bars. Probably not a destination on its own.

Small and packed. Great atmosphere. No seats at the bar. Mostly standing room. Salty deposit for a table.

Redhead Piano Bar is one of those places that instantly pulls you in with great energy, live music, and a fun crowd. The atmosphere is lively without feeling overwhelming, making it a perfect spot for a night out with friends, a date, or just enjoying live entertainment with a drink in hand.

The bar service is solid and efficient. Drinks are well-made, served quickly, and priced fairly for the experience you’re getting. The bartenders and staff are friendly, upbeat, and contribute to the overall positive vibe of the place.

What really makes Redhead Piano Bar stand out is the sense of fun and connection. Everyone feels welcome, the crowd is social, and the energy stays high throughout the night. It’s not just about the music or the drinks, but the experience as a whole.

The Redhead Piano Bar is an absolute hidden gem and a perfect spot for a late-night experience. From the moment you arrive, the vibe feels special—especially discovering the outdoor cigar-smoking area tucked away through a secret pathway. It adds such a cool, exclusive feel to the night.

Inside, the live piano performance is phenomenal. The piano player can literally play any song you request, which makes the experience interactive, fun, and unforgettable. Whether you’re into classics, modern hits, or something in between, they deliver every time.

It’s a great place for after-dinner drinks, late-night cocktails, and just soaking in great music and atmosphere. The ambience is warm, lively, and inviting—perfect for a relaxed but upscale night out.

If you’re looking for a unique piano bar with great drinks, live music, and a hidden cigar-friendly outdoor space, The Redhead is a must-visit. Highly recommend for a memorable late-night stop!
