Pianos

Haven't been to this place in years. The bouncers/doormen make it impossible to enjoy! One time I had 3 female friends come from Cali who were supposed to meet me here on a Thursday. They got they before me so I told them go ahead in. When I arrived the bouncer told me I couldn't get in without a female. So I told him I had 3 females from Cali inside. The other bouncer even remember carding them, so he knew I wasn't lying. Yet still wouldn't let me in. One of them even came down to get me, but the bouncer told us we would have to go to the back of the line and wait to get back in again. Smh Needless to say we contacted our friends inside and we all left and spent out money elsewhere. Another time I had a friend come over form London (England), celebrating her bday. She was dancing and stood on one of the little tables. They were signaling her to come down with flashlights, but she thought they were cheering her on. I get her attention and help get down and let her know she cant stand up there. 30 secs later the bouncer (who literally watched me get her down) grabs her and walks her all the way downstairs and kicks her out. She apologized and explained. He heard her accent and everything. Knew she wasn't from the country and didn't know the protocols, but was hellbent on throwing her out. All the doormen/bouncers ruined this place YEARS AGO (pre pandemic), and based on these comments I'm reading, nothing has changed! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE! It's NYC, there PLENTY of other better spots that'll treat you better.

Good vibes. Really cool people. Djs need to mix better but perfect for the crowd. Playing for everyone

The worst venue in New York City! I tried to reenter the premisis after smoking a cig but the bouncer told me I had to pay the fanum tax and he took my drink from me and drank half of it! Awful unprofessional demeanor from the staff!

SPOT ON TILT

I had a horrible time at this place. As a native New Yorker, I have obviously heard horror stories from Pianos, but... yeah this place is not great. I came here to listen to music-- the bouncers pushed me around, and told me that I looked like I took front shots from a girl who listens to Duster. I was deeply humiliated. The night was almost saved by a 10/10 dining experience, however. The french fries were divine! The music was great as well! They were playing my favorite genre, Rock and Roll. After stepping out for a moment, and trying to re-enter, I was told they don't serve my kind. The two men yelled expletives at me until I left. They called me slurs, pushed me around, and told me I had too much to drink. I couldn't really respond to the bouncers' taunts, as I have intense social anxiety, but I don't even drink alcohol! As their hands struck my body, I could sense a great power within these men. I could feel their energy. A dark aura engulfed me. They did not care that I had already paid 15 dollars to watch the bands. It became clear; they are the taskmasters. Heed their orders. They wanted me to be their slave. Fulfill their every desire. I saw how one of them was looking at me--he was licking his lips. I was scared. As I gingerly walked away from them, I could feel their gaze still haunting me. I began sprinting. Eventually, I escaped their radius of terror. Upon reflection, I am thankful that I escaped Pianos with my life.

First club in NYC I've actually liked. Best music selection. Turn up time all the wayyyy

Fun place to vibe to the music! They were playing all the good classics upstairs, the downside is 10$ cover for upstairs but its pretty worth it!

Had an amazing time here and we got shown some super awesome art. Will definitely go back if I visit NYC again
