But New York has piano bars.

I’m not talking about a bit of a knees-up round the old Joanna and plates of jellied eels mopped up with a few bottles of stout – their piano bars, mostly to be found in Greenwich Village, are camp cabaret venues where the glamorous and the glitterati congregate round a grand piano with the pianist belting out his or her repertoire of show tunes.

So pianist-cum-entertainer Bazz Norton has decided to challenge our social mores and introduce one in Kensington – bless him – and it is now home to his 160 year-old Collard & Collard grand piano.

As I ascended the staircase for my first visit, Bazz was just rounding off his renditions of great classics and sure enough there was an appreciative audience camped around his piano, clicking their ruby heels together and stroking their Toto’s (metaphorically, if you get my drift).

Mercifully, owner Bazz Norton’s endearingly basic, time-warp lounge is a pretence-free zone, where a refreshingly inclusive party vibe prevails.

Piano Kensington | Piano Bar New York does piano bars.

An evening at a piano bar in London was, until Bazz Norton launched Piano Bar Kensington in 2003, impossible to come by.

It’s now become a London institution – from the humble entrance opposite Kensington High Street Tube, the narrow dark stairway and the small candlelit bar, to the dark leather seating, the friends crowded around cocktail-laden tables, the 160 year old Collard Collard Grand Piano and the legendary atmosphere and buzz of the crowd gathered around it.

NOTE: Piano Kensington serves food, but it works best to eat elsewhere and then arrive for 21:30ish.
