What a magical place to perform! The audience is so friendly and fun! The bartender was super sweet and everyone took care of us, can’t wait to play again!
Such a fun experience! The piano player was very talented, and the bartender was helpful and kind. Definitely recommend for a date or with a group of friends.
Great hole in the wall spot! Laura and Stephen were so great! energetic and personable!
Live pianist was incredible. Interesting mix of kind of sophisticated mid-20s and some older folks. Bar tenders are knowledgeable and interactive. Would highly recommend going with a small group of friends on a weekend or your second stop on your date. Only about 20-30 people max can fit in here which makes it intimately fun.
Great piano bar in a hidden hotel. The vibes in this venue are amazing! Which correlates to Anna, the resident singer/songwriter, whom performs often at Zebra. She even let me stretch my vox and sing a song!! Highly recommend!!
Tiny little laid back bar with cheap drinks, and someone singing at the piano 7 days a week, what can be bad about a place like this!? The bar only fits about 40 people so if you come be prepared to stand or be eagle eyed to try and snag a seat at the bar or the side tables. The one bartender was super friendly and was very quick to make our drinks and ask if we were ok. The crowd is very interesting here... The bar can't really control this but we were there on a Friday night at 10:30p and you had a mix of 60 and then 21 year olds who were so wasted they were falling over and spilling drinks. Really enjoyed the laid-back vibe and will return.
I love this place!!! Ryan the bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and kind and we had a fantastic experience! Logan was a sweetheart and super talented on the piano. Couldn’t recommend more!!
This was a really cool place with a great atmosphere. I'm glad we were introduced to this places by local family members as we probably never would have seen it if they hadn't brought us here. The piano player was good and played all sorts of music, even some Snoop Dogg. Good times.
