AI Summary

Preston's spinning piano bar. live jazz, cocktails, and a rotating baby grand at the centre of it all.

Intimate and theatrical. Vintage art deco meets live music venue. the rotating baby grand piano commands the room while a cosy parlour-style back room offers quieter conversation. Low lighting, music paraphernalia on the walls, and a welcoming owner set the tone. The space is deliberately small, which amplifies the immersive energy on gig nights.

A rotating turntable baby grand piano at the centre of the bar. unique in Melbourne. Secret upstairs bar for ticketed gigs. Open mic/piano sessions on Thursdays. BYO food policy (bring food from neighbouring restaurants). Free entry most nights. Smoke machine and bubbles deployed for special performances.

No specific national cuisine. a distinctly Melbourne-character bar with deep roots in jazz and piano tradition.

Free entry most nights with only drinks to pay for. Cocktails praised as impeccable. Exceptional value for the live music experience on offer.
