Brandy's Piano Bar Reviews

Classic piano bar in New York’s upper east side. It’s a small place, so the trick is to get there at the optimum time. I think maybe 10:30-11 on a Friday. Most of the bar staff sing, and you can make requests by writing them on a napkin and putting down some bills. It’s super fun if you’re looking for something a little different.

The service at Brandy’s was beyond disappointing. The bartender with short hair and glasses was incredibly aggressive and unprofessional, creating a hostile environment for everyone in the room. She was snapping at people for no reason and making the entire night feel tense and uncomfortable. I won't be returning to a place that treats its paying customers like a nuisance.

Great spot, it's changed a bit over the years, but not much. My father used to own or have part interest in this place years ago with a few other people and they ran it very well.It seems to be doing well since it's still there and it changed the name to piano bar. But it was always called Brandy's. Great, please to check out if you're in the area.

We stumbled by this place on accident the other day and to our surprise it was popping for a Sunday night! The live music was incredible. This usually isn’t the type of music I listen to but I loved it. Everybody is really nice. The drinks are reasonably priced; it was $13 for my Tom Collins. However be warned; they are S T R O N G. I’ve never tasted a Tom Collins that strong in my life and almost died after half of the drink. Unfortunately, I made the bad decision of getting another Tom Collins (there is a 2 drink minimum per person when there is live music) and that really killed me. They’re really out here giving us the best value for our money which I appreciate.
