piano bars
Sing-along cocktail venues
Piano bars are drinking establishments featuring a pianist who performs live, often taking requests and encouraging audience participation.
The atmosphere tends toward nostalgic standards and sing-alongs: We ended up at a piano bar belting out Billy Joel songs.
The format peaked in mid-twentieth-century nightlife but persists in hotels and entertainment districts.
