Just love this place, can’t get enough of it. Great bar with professional live music we can order our own food, at first I thought it was strange but absolutely love the innovative concept ! Such a fun fun place. Very good price vs quality!

R. F.

Great bar with professional live music and singers together with great whiskies and wine selections. You are welcomed to order your food delivery while enjoying music.

1. Amazing atmosphere!! 2. Drink prices are ok, considering it is High Street Kensington and place is in the hotel, I expected it will be pricy and turned out to be pretty normal! Which I think is great :) 3. Person who plays on the piano is really talented! Can play any song, super impressed with quality!! 4. I arrived there with big group of friends and we had table booked, no issues with booking and all was smooth! 5. Sooo booking was for Halloween night, so since it is a special night was a bit worried that we will lose the table because we were late… manager was kind enough to to keep table for us 🙏🙏🙏 6. Great service, really nice people around :) Love this place, will be back for sure!

G. H.

Great atmosphere. Sing along and request songs from the very talented pianist!

J. H.

Very nice, cozy place to listen to some music. The two guys who played were very good. The night we were there they played 70s/80s rock but don't know if it is the same each night. Cool, casual fun.

K. M.

Great little place with good music. I had a black daiquiri and some truffle fries. Everything was tasty and the bar man was attentive. My only complaint would be that it's on the pricey side, specially the food. Would recommend.

C. B.

We visited Piano last week as we were at a nearby restaurant and thought we would try this bar due to good reviews. It's quite a small bar with just a few tables. There was a guy who was playing the piano when we arrived. Nice atmosphere and worth trying

V. N.

Relaxed chic piano bar with a honest menu of cocktails and wine. Appetizers and small bites available. Try the Arancini (risoto croquettes)... definitely worth it.

G. S.

Piano Kensington is the perfect date venue with a cosy yet stylish feel. Olaf the pianist was amazing and creates an incredible atmosphere by playing requests.

I. A. R.

Great fun, gets busy but worth the crowd! Come early and don't hesitate to write your song requests in the post-it notes

D.

I don't do reviews, but this place was simply fantastic! I visited for the first time on a Thursday, and the place was jumping! Not what I expected as thought it would be a quieter affair, but the piano player played classic chart hits and everyone was loving it, dancing and singing around the piano! The doorman was without doubt the friendliest and most helpful I've come across, which was equalled by the bar staff. Great place with great vibe!

D. C.

Visited Wednesday evening.. Ideal as I went around 10 pm and had the chance to enjoy my drink without having to worry about the time as it closes at 2am . There was a piano player/singer who created a really nice ambience. Place started getting even busier after 11 as people left the pubs around the area . Recommended, going again. It's a small place, I have noticed that it's getting busier Friday/Saturday evenings.

C. P.

Lovely lively piano bar with good cocktails, wine and snacks! The piano players are very entertaining and the music is always something the crowd can sing along to, or even dance to! It's a nice and different night out, though I'd also recommend it for an early drink when the piano is playing elegantly in the background.

T. C.

Came here for my birthday with a group of 10. Its a great little piano bar. Great atmosphere which turns more and more lively as the night goes on. My only criticism was struggling to get songs on the list to get played. Great birthday, would come back again

M. F.

Very small piano bar located on Kensington High Street with a near constant line. Had to wait about 20 mins to get in. Was rather small and packed tight with people, more reminiscent of a rowdy night club then a piano bar/ lounge which was disappointing as we wanted a quite night out over drink. On the other hand the drinks are reasonable enough and the music was actually really good which is one of the reasons you would think you would go to a bar like this. Overall think their a better places to catch some piano/ jazz but if your in the area and up for rowdy night then check it out.

A. B.

The music was great, very talented singer and piano player. I do have to day the mixed drinks were a little on the light side but not too bad. Fun atmosphere

R. O.

Amazing Bar with great talented singers - loved the jazz band on Sundays and strongly recommend it! Thursday guy was great too. Fun times guaranteed, on top of that their French fries are divine which is a big plus :)

D. C.

Great find. Pianist plays and sings songs from 60s to current chart hits. It's a small place and the music is loud. Reservations at weekend are a must, although you might be able to squeeze in. Often fully booked a few weeks in advance

M. K.

it's a fun place to go as you can come up to piano player and request any song you want. my only disappointment is that onlt a few people can get around and actually see that player properly as it is a long room and piano is far in a corner.

A. C.

Wanted to take my boy friend to a piano bar for his birthday. This one was right next to our resturant so worked out perfectly. The door is quite hidden on the street, so unless you know what you are looking for you might miss it. Once through the door you go up some stairs and get your bag searched, then you're by the bar. We then started looking at were we could sit as the place isn't very big but gairly full and a lot of the tables had reserve signs so weren't sure if we could sit at them. The bar lady then asked if she could help us, and we asked about seating. She said it was ok to go on those tables but they are booked for someone at a certain time so we would have to get off them. So this worked well for us, so we order drinks and day down. We sat right next to the piano, if you really want there are stools around the piano so you can sit around it. The piano playing was very good, and you could request songs. It was a nice atmosphere with vast amounts of people singing along with the songs. A night out that's a bit different.

M. N. S.

Very nice spacious and private place.

R. B.

A small place in a good location with a great atmosphere on a Saturday night, let down by abrupt and rude bar staff. The piano player was excellent and really added something unique compared to other local bars. For that alone I would recommend a visit.

C. S.

Seems like a cool place. Beer is reasonable and the atmosphere is cool. Can be a bit loud if trying to converse. I would totally recommend popping in and having a beer and feeling out the vibe.

T. S.

Hidden gem in Kensington right next to the station. Great cocktails and great atmosphere. They do pretty good food too if you're looking for a bite to eat with your drinks. The main attraction is of course the live music which never disappoints.

S. G.

Excellent place to spend your night - live piano music combined with good drinks makes a winning recipe. Staff is friendly and I can happily recommend the place because you can't find many piano bars in the area.

F. J.

Nice place with very talented musicians. Good selection of wine, BOTTLED beer (no taps in sight) and drinks. Background music when there is no piano is a bit too loud making it hard to have a conversation.

C. S.

Great atmosphere and a fantastic pianist/singer when there Thursday, a week ago. Took requests and knew pretty much everything. Book a table to avoid disappointment. Great night!

M. K.

Loved the fried risotto balls and the cocktails were really tasty 😋. The piano player had a great voice and amazing skills. Definitely high five

G. K.

A great venue with fantastic cocktails. Their espresso martini is delicious. Great live music included. A great spot for a few drinks or a night out!

A. A.

I like this place, chilled and really good for a nice night out on a friday or Saturday night. Some days you have to make a reservation as it can be packed at times. I love going there everytime I'm in London

C. P. W.

The perfect date night! 💞 Call ahead to book a table or keep your eyes peeled for one. Great for groups 2-4. Get ready to sing your heart out! 🎼🎼

D. L.

Really cool, intimate atmosphere and when the live music starts it only gets better. Just wish they had more seating; reservations are recommended for this reason.

L. S.

Went here on a Friday evening. Really enjoyed it. Everyone was singing along with the pianist. Had a bit of a dance. Great way to end a night out.

L. S.

A hole in the wall on High Street Kensington. The concept is great but there is something a bit off about this place. A bit too touristy or a bit too cheesy, or a bit too many middle aged female patrons who think that they are still at their prime... Need to book ahead though. The food is what you would expect, not offensive.

H. K.

Not a bad place but doesn't open till 6pm when we went on a Sunday night. A bit quiet and wasn't the warmest of places. Cocktails were unique....price wise it's standard in London

R. F.

I really like this place,the pianists are very talented and the vibe is great. Drinks are good too. Only downside is the overpriced food.

p. m.

We had a brilliant night here the piano player /singer was excellent our only complaint was the cost of the drinks £10.00 for a gin and tonic and they didn't give you the whole bottle of tonic !!

M. B.

Credit to the staff, food is great, but the music is just trash, as is the atmosphere: too loud, obnoxious, not what is advertised at all, plus the beverages- even for kensington - are overpriced , but the selection, it has to be said, is not too shabby.

C. D.

great place to spend the night with friends..!!! not with ur girl coz its a bit noisy as the guy is playing the piano all night and its not a very big place so it becomes noisy,,!! quite reasonable drinks according to kensington but a must visit..!!

L. G.

Nice place, buzzing. But book a table far away from the piano so you can enjoy the music as well as talk to your companions.

D. F.

Great little bar with live piano music. It's small but has a lot of character - definitely a good date spot

F.

Such a cool venue!! Super talented pianists! Only downside is a bit cramped and people were bumping into us while we were sat down.

M. P.

Very romantic place

F. K.

Always like comming here, its a bit small so if you plan to eat make reservations, it does not have a full dinner menu but enough stuff to kill your hunger great for birthdays or hanging out with freinds or secind dates

T. S.

Fantastic place with live music. The pianist plays songs suggested by the customers! It's all sing along with lovely people.

C. C.

Talented pianist, not so talented bartenders. Cocktails were poorly mixed and measured. Ordered 2 of the same cocktails, 1 had less in the glass than the other.

S. L.

I’ve been there Friday and Saturdays only. It’s such a fun place to visit. Great atmosphere and staff are very friendly. Super recommend.

D. F.

Nice place, very small, so worth making a reservation to get a seat. Live piano music is always excellent

N. P.

Overly loud and busy bar with nearly no seating. Reserve a spot if you want to come or go to the better piano bars nears Charring Cross and Farringdon.

d. t.

It's a lovely atmosphere and vibe here - so relaxing and jolly at the same time. The pianist was very happy to do requests too!

F. A.

Space a bit cramped but a very good atmosphere. Drinks a little pricey too..! But overall a good experience. I would visit again.

(Translated) A small shop that is full of about 20 people. The clerk also had a good atmosphere, and although it was only a gin and tonic stay, it was delicious. (Original) 20人位で満員になる小規模なお店。店員も雰囲気がよく、ジントニック一杯だけの滞在だけだが美味しかった。

(Translated) Awesome place, live music from 8 to 12. A good audience, gines - 6.5 pounds, whiskey cola about 9 pounds, the choice of food is small. You can go to immerse yourself in a good fun atmosphere and listen to good music. It will be hard for a budget tourist (Original) Потрясающее место, живая музыка с 8 до 12. Хорошая публика, гинес - 6,5 фунтов, виски-кола около 9 фунтов, из еды выбор небольшой. Можно сходить для того, чтобы погрузиться в хорошую весёлую атмосферу и послушать хорошую музыку. Бюджетном туристу будет тяжело
