The Piano Bar

The Piano Bar at The Betsy Hotel is a jazz club and lounge on Ocean Drive in South Beach, where live piano and jazz play nine times a week against giant windows, palm trees, and rotating art exhibits. By day it channels an Old Havana coffeehouse feel with Panther Coffee and light bites; by night it becomes one of South Beach's classic social spots for specialty cocktails, wine, and craft beer, including a house lager brewed locally with Miami's House of Motor.

Guests can order from the adjacent LT Steak & Seafood menu while enjoying sets from a rotating lineup of pianists, including Miami-born, Frost School of Music-trained talent. The room draws a mix of hotel guests, tourists, and locals looking for a relaxed but lively evening with no minimum spend required.

With table service, outdoor seating, and a reputation for great cocktails and a great wine list, it's a laid-back yet upscale pick for a date night, solo drink at the bar, or after-dinner nightcap in the heart of Miami Beach.
