Reviews

A work colleague recommended the place to us. The venue was quite hot, but they did their best with large fans. However, there were only 2-3 bartenders, resulting in a long queue for drinks. The drinks were heavily watered down, and as a lightweight drinker who usually feels the effects of alcohol within 10-15 minutes, I could definitely tell. I also noticed they underpoured the alcohol and filled the rest with ice for cocktails that cost over £11.  The venue featured a live band that took requests, with a DJ playing during their breaks. While the DJ had some good tunes, their transitions between tracks were not smooth, often changing songs when they reached the hook or chorus. One highlight was when they called out people celebrating birthdays to the front and congratulated them with a song.

I visited for a friend’s birthday and had a really good time. We pre ordered and paid for our meal and had a booth with a great view of the stage. We were lucky enough to make it in time for happy hour meaning I spent £50 for a fantastic night of entertainment. The watermelon starter vegan option was well presented and the vegan burger was very tasty.  The pianist/vocalist early in the evening was brilliant and played a superb version of “Say you’ll be there” by the Spice girls and we our waiter Sean was equally awesome singing some Stevie Wonder for us with a voice that was very mature and soulful.  I would definitely recommend this as a great night out. The only thing I found unusual was having a box of tissues and a mini bin by each urinal. Something I haven’t seen anywhere else

Nestled in the heart of Farringdon, Piano Works is a cozy, intimate downstairs bar that offers a truly unique experience. As you descend into the warm, dimly lit space, you’re immediately enveloped by the welcoming atmosphere, where the soft hum of conversation blends seamlessly with the sounds of the piano.  The highlight of Piano Works is undoubtedly the live music. Talented pianists take to the stage nightly, playing a range of familiar tunes that span decades and genres. Whether you’re in the mood for classic rock, pop hits, or jazz standards, the musicians are more than capable of delivering. The best part? They take requests, allowing you to tailor the evening’s soundtrack to your tastes.  Despite being a live music venue, Piano Works maintains an inviting, unpretentious vibe. The staff is friendly, and the bar prices are refreshingly reasonable, especially for London. Whether you’re grabbing a pint, a cocktail, or a glass of wine, you won’t feel like you’re being overcharged—an increasingly rare find in the city.  Overall, Piano Works in Farringdon is the perfect spot for a laid-back evening with friends, a date night, or simply to unwind after a long day. The combination of talented musicians, a cozy atmosphere, and decent prices makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great music in an intimate setting.

We came for bottomless brunch to celebrate my birthday and had such a fun time! Our waiter Fabio was absolutely amazing, really attentive service and made the experience extremely pleasant. The food was good and music was really fun. It is quite loud in the venue but we didn’t mind this.Food: 4/5

Wow.  Fantastic idea really well executed. Great staff, superb prices especially during happy hour. I didn’t eat , but the food i saw being served looked excellent. All staff very friendly, looked happy, and some really good singers. Its like a live juke box.  Love it. Highly recommended.Service: 5/5

I wouldn't bother with this place and I can tell you why....  7 guys on a stag do, 2 in there 60s, 3  mid 30s school friends with one living in Australia and the other 2 living on each end of the country, and a younger brother who 23 and a guy who doesn't drink.  We were out celebrating for many reasons and haven't been with each other for at least two years so we were looking for fun, good times, a night to remember and to make memories , well it was a night to remember but for the wrong reasons.  After paying for two cabs from Liverpool Street Station to get this to this place after paying/booking in advance we kinda planed our evening around this place.  We arrived and as soon as we got there the bouncer and manager refused to let us in. The reason was cause the younger one was apparently "too drunk" pointing him out, considering he only had one pint before we thought he was joking.  To prove he weren't we made him do the alphabet backwards which he successfully did in front of everyone, which personally I thought it was impressive to do.  We all high five him for doing so but this clearly upset the manager even more for proving him wrong that he weren't drunk.  Still refusing we asked for our deposit back which was refused and really frustrating.  Not only did that ruining the atmosphere but it ruined the whole night, the youngest one was almost in tears cause he thought he ruined the stag which we told he not to worry about. It definitely changed the atmosphere considering there were no hard feelings towards him.  Anyways, I would avoid this place if you can otherwise your night will be ruined.  Thanks for giving us negative memories and if I could give you minus I would.

We booked a table from 5 to 7pm. Padron peppers and little hamburgers were delicious.  Although the service of Ricardo was absolutely great, I have to leave this review due to the security lady; we wanted to have more drinks by standing. However, it was almost impossible to enjoy the ambience as that lady came in each second to tell us to put our bags onto the shoulder a little bag! She was extremely disturbing and aggressive.

What a great night out. Staff are so good! Food is amazing, and if you like live music, then you need to pay a visit. Highly recommend The Piano WorksFood: 5/5

Absolutely incredible musicians! The setting is beautiful, and they serve great drinks.Food: 5/5

Check your bill thoroughly!  We went to the early sitting on a Friday evening which is a pretty good deal. The food is good and the drinks are half price. The vibe picks up as the night goes along. We only had two hours before the table was required back so felt a bit rushed towards the end but that was made clear when booking so all fine there.  To make it easier on the night, when our bill arrived I paid it in full with a view to splitting it with our group later there were 7 of us. We checked the bill and everything listed on there was correct. The amount looked about right, so I paid it. However, when later split the bill up the total charged was approximately 10%  than the items listed on it. This was not service charge, which was listed. I contacted Piano works who agreed that the bill did not add up, they couldn't explain why and they would look into it. This was several months ago and they have ignored my follow up emails, hence I feel that I have little option but to leave this review.  So if you are thinking about going there, I'd recommend the experience but check your bill thoroughly - make them wait whilst you do so - and don't expect any customer service after they have taken your money!
