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.

These songs work so well in a piano bar that the player has to suck it up and play them or on a ship will be a very quiet room.

Good ones will change some of the words especially late at night

Very quiet room? After those four are out of the way is when the good stuff is played. Well, except for New York New York.

Been here 23 yrs. No piano bar. Waterfront..might want to talk to the management there. All bars in the Villages are part of Restaurants. Most have entertainment but no piano. Good luck.

Good piano bar entertainer can handle that but many would be lost

Check Garvinos schedule. They may have a piano player once in awhile.
Would like to see a piano wine bar in The Villages, too.

Reopen Kattie Bells and try a dueling piano bar there a few nights

We also really like the piano bars on cruise ships. Those piano players are amazing. They can play anything. Done right there are 2 players feeding off each other and are very entertaining when they interact with each other and the audience. I got a feeling this wouldn't work during COVID since your so close to the pianos but I hope someplace is working on one after COVID. Come to think of it how about reopening another Kattie Bells. I had to throw that in. We sure miss that place and a good venue there might be dueling piano players one or 2 evenings.

Any others think the Villages closing the unique 2 story resident nightclub Kattie Bells was the Villages biggest mistake and they should reopen one in Brownwood. :pray:
