My flight was canceled, and when you’re stuck in the city, what else is there to do but dance? Though we’re a bit older now, we couldn’t help but revisit Pianos—a staple of our millennial hipster days.

Whether it was nostalgia or the $5 beers, we found ourselves upstairs, dancing until 2 AM. The DJ moved seamlessly from Afrobeats to hip-hop, mixing in crowd favorites like Bad Bunny. We never sat down once. At one point, we laughed, remembering how we used to quote Childish Gambino—But, I guess meet me at Pianos / They cross-fadin' off of Nanos. And for one night, we lived it all over again.

Pianos isn’t the trendiest spot anymore, and yes, it’s a little grimy, but if you’re passing by and just want to dance with your friends, head upstairs. It’s got a dive bar energy, rough around the edges but exactly the kind of place where you can lose yourself in the music.

4s all across the board. Pianos is special because when I turned 21, I started showing up here and back then it was always a good time, as I’m sure is the case for a lot of people. Your intro the nightlife scene if you will. Lately the music has changed a bit and I think they’re heading into a new direction, I might be wrong but it’s interesting and I’ve enjoyed checking it out lately.

Had an amazing time at Piano’s! The vibes were perfect for happy hour—lively, fun, and the drinks were reasonably priced, which was a huge plus. The DJ kept the energy up with an awesome playlist that had everyone feeling good. That said, the music was so loud it was a bit tough to hear my friends, which made conversation challenging.

Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re looking for a fun atmosphere and good music. Maybe not the best place for deep conversations, but definitely perfect for dancing, drinks, and letting loose. I’ll definitely be back for another round of happy hour!

Didn't have food but the drinks were ok. Bartender wasn't necessarily friendly.

While I did not try the food here, the frozen margaritas are pretty good ! I used a drink ticket for the open mic event that I was attending, but they also had a happy hour before 8 pm. I liked that they have music in both the front and back areas of the space. I would highly recommend this spot for someone looking to have a conversation amongst friends w/ music in the background. There's also some events held in the back for open mics if you're interested in performing !

Pianos a great vibe spot for some drinks and music. Their top floor is a dance floor for you to dance and enjoy yourself. The food is also good as well.
