I love this piano bar!! This place is really set up for a great night of fun; singing all your old favorites and having decently priced drinks with friends. However, if you go there on a Monday or a Thursday beware of the ever-so-miserable Darius Frowner (the name says it all). This man is a brilliant pianist and has an impressive repertoire of songs (all in his head) that you can choose from but he also really knows how to take all the fun out of it. Darius is not only a "diva" as they say, but he can be unbelievably rude to anyone who isn't a legit broadway-style singer or who is ready to give you the exact notes on the page. He will critique your performance, monitor your song selections according to his concept of what might accidentally be less than perfect, and he will literally yell at people who take musically inclined liberties within a song. Not only will he hound you like a dog to continue putting money in his giant tip jar, but he is usually the only one in the joint who isn't there with the intention of having a good time. He has single-handedly ruined my experience there as well as a number of my friends' on multiple occasions. I will no longer go to this place when Frowner is in charge of the "fun" and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else who enjoys a good positive environment. If you DO find yourself there on a Mon or Thurs, fear not!! The very talented waitress Gabrielle Taryn will happily bring you your drinks all night as she sings her beautiful heart out- just a spoon full of sugar will help the Darius Frowner go down. Here's lookin out New York!! Stay happy and safe!
