Default 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.

Funny you should say that. I’ve had a blast at the sing along piano bars on cruise ships and that’s exactly what inspired me to ask about them here!

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

Since we moved here in 2012, we have been suggestung to various restaurants that they consider a piano bar, even if only one night a week. No one has shown any positive inclination to do so. I would think Waterfront, Chop House, and Nancy Lopez would be great choices. But, there is no quiet atmospheric dining anywhere in TV either, and the 2 would seem to go hand in hand.

Not me. Not crazy about the Villages karaoke vibe - in a sterile room with people sitting at desks.

I wonder why that is. There’s power in numbers. If enough of us ask for one, I bet it will happen. The Waterfront Inn would be perfect!

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
