This was my first time ever going to Nye's Bar! Some friends suggested we stop by since we've never been to a piano bar before. We arrived a little after 8:00 PM since we've heard it fills up quick- this was the right move. Around 9 PM the place was nearly packed!
The drink: I ordered an appletini. There were a lot of fun cocktails offered- everything between classic cocktails to their own craft cocktails. As far as martinis go, I liked it! They also had other beverages like wine and beer (I think). Forewarning, they do not have a food menu.
The ambiance: this place truly had a good vibe! We were seated in one of their curved booths which made it easy to talk to everyone. The songs played ranged from classics to new songs which was refreshing. At times it may have been too loud, but nonetheless, we loved the piano music! Near the end of our time there, they turned the lights down low which gave the bar a very intimate and sexy vibe. I would love to go on a date here!
Service: we were served by a bartender named Kevin. He came to our table right when we sat down, and he even gave suggestions for tasty mock tails for my friends doing Dry January. Our drinks came quick, and he remembered exactly what everyone ordered without having to write anything down! One of the reasons for the four star rating was we didn't receive much assistance when it was later in the night. We did have to flag someone down to receive our bill. However, all of the bartenders were kind to us!
Parking: they do not have their own lot, so street parking is the only option. It does get very busy in this area of northeast, so prepare to parallel park!
