The Best Piano Bars In Chicago
Whether you’re looking for live entertainment or a swanky night out on the town, this guide to the top piano bars in the city will have you itching to hear a local Chicagoan tickle the ivories. The bars chosen either exude a ritzy, posh vibe or a jazzy, dive-y feel. Regardless, it’s always a lively night when there are live pianos present – especially if there are dueling pianos with an unpredictable lineup.

2. Howl at the Moon
Bar, Cocktails
A top choice, Howl at the Moon will not disappoint. Tip from the pros: you will want to go early to avoid the long line and to have a higher chance of your song being selected by the pianists. It’s noted to have some of the best buckets of alcohol. The bar is prepared to accompany the copious amounts of alcohol by serving a variety of hearty appetizers like meatballs, spring rolls, Caprese skewers, and more. If you’re heading there for a nightcap, expect to run into multiple people you know, a few bachelorettes and be ready to dance.
