Top Piano Bars In Miami

In a city full of music, piano bars are strangely scarce in Miami compared to other metropolises. No need to fret, though; there are a few excellent piano bars for great evenings out, from Christy's in the Gables to Buena Vista's The Blue Piano. Each one offers great wine selections, talented musicians and warm atmospheres, while a few offer other specialties including wine and food tastings or food pairings, themed nights and choreographed dance. The most difficult decision is choosing which to visit first.
