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.

Now there is a good question. Why is there no quiet atmosphere dining in The Villages?

Google only listed those in Orlando and a forum search didn’t turn up anything.

Thanks for any input.

When in Asheville NC visit the Piano Bar at the Grove Park Inn . You will not be disappointed!

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

How about the now defunct Cody’s becoming a romantic piano bar

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!

Great pianist in restaurant at Continental Country Club on Route 44 on F/S/S.

[PJackpot]

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.

Not exactly a piano bar but this Restaurant has Joe, The Villages piano club president playing on weekend nights.

[LaurenBala]

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.

Would think that if you add a cover charge and sell food and drink it could work.

I think many here are confusing piano bar with dueling pianos. There is a HUGE difference.

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.
