Piano bars
Anyone know of any piano bars in the Villages?
Google only listed those in Orlando and a forum search didn’t turn up anything. Thanks for any input. |
Do this all the time on cruises hoping there is one here.
|
I have lived here 8.5 years and I don't know of any piano bars in TV.

Hadn’t really thought of it before, but seems like it would be a no-brainer for TV.

We tend to frequent piano bars on cruise ships. I'd be delighted to see one in The Villages.
|
Just before covid shut the world down, one of the clubs we belong to had an evening of dueling pianos,''
Was actually keyboards but still a nice thing to attend. |

Well, it’s not in the Villages, and not technically a piano bar, but anyone would really enjoy the music, food/drinks and atmosphere of The Keep Downtown, formerly the Ocala Wine Experience, on 1st Avenue. Maybe after Covid, you can hire Uber, or a bunch of friends go up there for a great evening. There are some nice B&B around that area too so you don’t have to drive home afterwards. And, no, i am not affiliated with them. Just really think that place is special.

Great idea Walrus, sorry it doesn't exist here yet.
|
Yes, I wouldn't mind seeing Schroeder playing from peanuts and Snoopy dancing on top would be kind of cool also
|
Closest we came I think was Main St. Bistro in SS ...We used to love that place and it was a regular stop on the way home from anywhere else we had been - one chap on an electric keyboard and he sang as well - there was a tiny dance floor and the atmosphere was great ...don't know why it closed ...it was where Ay Jalisco is now.

Try Sip Restaurant & Jazz on Main St Leesburg. Not exactly a piano bar but close.

There is a piano playing at The Oaks on Friday and Sat. evening with dinner. It is very nice. It is a great way to relax and enjoy a great dinner.

redsauce restaurant in LSL would book the Dueling Pianos every few weeks. Not sure they are still doing gigs with the pandemic raging. Contact redsauce's owner to see if he will book them again in the near future. Some clubs have booked them too. Too bad the Rec News stopped publishing future club notices.
Great fun! Skip |
Piano bar
Great pianist in restaurant at Continental Country Club on Route 44 on F/S/S.
|
No, but that’s a great idea.
|
Lovely thought. I fear the piano bar doesn't make enough money to pay the high rent in TV ... so it would have to be outside and I don't know of one. Love the ones on the cruise ships. Wonderful topic. Good feelings.

The Rose Plantation
Not exactly a piano bar but this Restaurant has Joe, The Villages piano club president playing on weekend nights.
|
The Rose Plantation
It's definitely not a bar but The Rose Plantation in Fruitland Park has a live piano player (and he's very good) on Friday and Saturday nights.

If you are looking for an upbeat dueling piano type show, there is a new duo playing at various places around TV. Their website is The Big Bad Live! – Professional Entertainment for Any Event. They are absolutely the best entertainers I have seen here. All request shows. Make sure to bring cash to tip them, you'll want to.
Their schedule is there. They will be at Glenview tomorrow evening 5-8. |
The Piano bar at Rose Plantation is first class!!!! Only certain nights - think it is Friday and Saturday - but check!
|
Garvino’s in Sumter Landing is a wine bar but they do have music. Not sure if piano or not.
|
Anybody ever heard Perry Grant on one of their cruises signing and playing the piano? He would be great here in the Villages.
|
A piano bar. People packed together, singing away. ;) coronavirus anyone?
|
Point taken. I’m asking for when the virus passes. Or an outdoor piano bar.
|
As long as these pianists don’t play Piano Man, I’m game.
On cruises, I used to always chat with the pianists about repertoire. Every one of them would complain Piano Man was requested three times a night on average. Don’t Stop Believing was second most requested. Then Sweet Caroline (of course) and Benny and the Jets. |
Red sauce restaurant in Lake Sumter used to have dual piano players. I’m not sure since Covid arrived.
