Just a whole lot of fun. If you love Broadway songs, it’s a great place to be to sing your heart out. Pianist was a great singer and a whole lot of fun. Servers also had a chance to perform. It’s a small space and gets really cramped but worth it. Note that this place is cash only and a minimum of 2 drinks per person, plus it’s expected that you tip the team. We also had to wait around 30-40 minutes to get in on a Saturday night.

Fantastic atmosphere. Like being part of a Broadway show. The pianist/host sings all the old tunes and encourages everyone to join in. Fabulous evening. Well worth a visit!

Did not try the food however it was never offered either This place is awful. Unless you are a washed up broadway failure, you are unfortunately not welcome. I came with people that sang along with songs and enjoyed drinks in which they had to pay an enormous mark up on drinks from a waitress who refused to give cash back on a cash back stipulation. We were happy to sing and pay money on drinks however the washed up elementary school chorus teacher, Franca Vercelloni, lecture killed the mood. If you are a washed up broadway star, have at it. However if you are a patron of the arts and enjoy a night of drinking and singing show tunes, which I presume was the original intent of a show tunes bar, this place has gotten so righteous they no longer accept even allies of their clientale. Maybe the 20 people in the club are enough...

Stumbled into this piano bar whilst waiting for our table to be ready next door. So glad we did! Everyone singing old show tunes round a piano. Was a great experience even if it was just for one drink!

First off, it's not a café. It's a piano bar. Now a younger, heterosexual crowd are moving in and talking (loudly) during the songs which inhibits much of the joy of the place. The staff are gems and I can see they are trying to come to terms with a changing demographic. There are 3 other bars in line of sight all with showtune piano. Maybe time to move on. Shame though.
