With clientele decked out in runway-ready rock-and-roll gear, Pianos is a live music club that makes fashionistas feel at home. The regulars buy their designer jeans pre-distressed, wear choppy haircuts in deliberate disarray and enjoy indie garage rock as an aperitif to late-night DJ sets. Sure, the music matters--as long as it's chic. And as trends change, Pianos' fresh, whitewashed walls and expansive bar will continue to create a versatile and stylish space.
There's no cover at the door, but it'll cost you to catch the band in the back room, which serves as a dark, sweaty antithesis to the stark cleanliness of the main bar. Seats line the sides of the performance space (which is often standing-room-only), and the ground-shaking sound system helps draw local and national up-and-coming rock bands. Unless there's a private party, you'll find a chilled-out middle ground in the upstairs lounge. |
