Piano Room

The look: 1950s inspired and super glamorous. Think mischief making dark corners, stunning chandeliers and sweeping views of the bustling Kings Cross Streets below. It’s the perfect backdrop for a glamorous liaison.
The soundtrack: runs from an iPod DJ, is remixed regularly and leads into the nightly live music.
Signature drink: All Night Long, $14 is a sweetly fruity mix of 42 below passionfruit vodka, crème de peche, licor 43 and blood orange juice. Yummmm…
Bar snacks: The Roasted Paprika Almonds, $7 and the Chipotle spiced squid with lime mayonnaise, $16 from the fab tapas menu are the ideal party snack.
Best for: A sophisticated over 30’s venue to debut a hot new outfit. There’s a super strict door policy so dress chic to impress.
Wow factor: The cover-charge free live nightly entertainment mixes jazz, swing, R&B, blues, congo drums, piano solos and pop. This musician’s playground has pulled in spectators like Daniel Johns, Eve, Misha Barton, The Veronicas and model Miranda Kerr.
If this bar were a movie star it would be: Super-sexy Jessica Rabbit!
