I’d give it 5 stars if the female servers and bartenders were not required to wear ridiculous high heels! REQUIRED!!! My concern for their overall comfort took away from being able to fully enjoy the great music and atmosphere. I have always like Centannis for it ambience, cocktails and music. Very comfy and ample seating can be found thoughout and at the bar. I do appreciate the dress code; it’s a refreshing change from the standard jeans/flannel at corner bars.

I used to love this place and would have rated it 3 or 4 stars. It used to have live piano playing, and was a good place to hang out. On my last trip here a week ago, they were playing guitar and singing. The speakers were obnoxiously loud and my group had to leave to grab drinks elsewhere.

Great place! I went here with a group to celebrate my birthday. Joe Hite, the genius behind the piano, knew every song we requested — from Marvin Gaye to Coldplay to Kid Rock. The drinks were great, and the waitress was there as soon as they were empty. I’ve never been a fan of «piano bars», but this place was more like a upscale bar with really good music. I’ve been here three times and I’m definitely going back.

Great late night lounge! The music is fantastic with a live pianist playing by request(even some Coldplay tunes.) Last night was my first time, and I’ll definitely be back. Fun for a date, but maybe a little loud for conversation – so hopefully you’re with a person you’re comfortable getting close to:)

This place was really cool, we went here for Erica’s birthday and she got to sit up with the pianist while he sang to her. Little crowded, but worth it.

Its kind of a meat market for the 25 – 45 crowd – I feel like divorcees in particular love this place. But there’s nothing wrong that. Excellent bartenders, a fun group atmosphere even if the piano bar thing can get a little cheesy. Its on the higher end style-wise of piano bars I’ve been to recently. A nice and unique contribution to the Third Ward.

Ok — the décor and look and feel… yeah. smooth and very«mob» like. But what’s with the damn loud music? Geez. They should hand out ear plugs to lighten the pain. Admittedly, I walked out after my ears started ringing and I knew we wouldn’t be served in a million years cause it was so packed.

I can’t believe no one has reviewed this little bar yet… I don’t have a ton of experience here, but the times I have gone, I’ve been impressed. It’s a ratpack feel inside, with a piano at the back. I’ve been there on Thursday nights when a guy comes in and can play/sing almost any song imaginable. The crowd gets into it, very entertaining. I believe they have entertainment most nights. Thursday is also half price wine and martinis for the girls — which I am a big fan of. Huge list of martinis to choose from, and they are DELICIOUS. Try the malted milk ball one or the almond joy one… but they’re all great. Service is friendly, but can take a while because everyone is packed near the bar/piano player. If you don’t get there early enough, there’s no way you’ll be able to see him or get a table in the back. Lots of young professionals… kind of a trendy vibe. Being an Italian girl, I felt very at home here, but I think anyone who enjoys a good drink would!
