Behind the doors of Jack Solomons Jazz Club, The Piano Bar sits quietly in the back — equal parts recording studio and late-night hideout. By day, it’s where music is made. By night, it slips into something smoother: low lighting, sharp cocktails, and live jazz so close you’ll feel every note. It’s not open to passers-by — entry’s by booking, ticket, or membership only.
