Pianos

Pianos is a two-story music venue in Lower East Side with a bar, restaurant, and performance spaces on different levels. The space includes a back stage area, a lounge for mingling, and a ground-floor setup that accommodates live entertainment throughout the evening.

The building originally housed a piano store, and when the venue opened in 2002, it kept the shop's name and original signage as a tribute. This choice preserved a piece of the street's musical heritage from an earlier era.

The venue has become a hub for live music across many genres, welcoming both local performers and touring acts to its stages. Each night brings different sounds, from rock bands to DJs, creating a gathering place for the neighborhood's music community.

The venue serves food and drinks, so you can eat while enjoying live music without leaving the space. You can move between different areas depending on the music style or the crowd atmosphere you prefer.

The venue's name comes from a historic piano shop that once stood on the same location, linking today's music venue to the street's earlier instrument-trading past. Visitors often overlook this connection between the building's former identity and its current purpose.
