The Grand Piano Bistro is temporarily closed.
The Grand Piano Bistro is an urban piano bar with concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, cobalt blue walls and an open floor design sprinkled with black and silver tables. The bar area is intimate and simple: No fancy backlighting or high-tech features, just liquor bottles lined up and packed refrigerators. And of course, the pianos: two grands by the windows with the guts ripped out, replaced with electronic keyboards. Interesting drinks, sophisticated cuisine, live piano music and an urban ambiance make for an experience unique to the metro.

Not Your Average Friday Night
Does your group of friends hit the same series of bars every weekend? My friends and I often do, so its nice to spice things up every know and then! Some of these places I know are awesome by experience, others are just on my to-do list.
