Dive in and enjoy this little dive. When the piano is is playing, you should along with the rest. When the piano is muted, grab a book and enjoy the barkeep's tunes with book and a beverage. read more

Really enjoyed the few times I went there. Aging glam of a bygone days bar, the people are as good and real as the decor, drinks and nibbles. read more

See all

Keyper's is a neighborhood piano bar on Jefferson at Shenandoah in the Fox Park neighborhood in City of St Louis. The decor is a little run down. Not bad. Strong drinks, reasonable prices, friendly. They have a sing along piano bar on most weekends. Small patio. No food. read more

Frozen pizza is the only food item. But they are delicious. The staff is great. Ambiance is a trip. You have to experience it for yourself. We go two or three times a week. read more

It's a gay bar. Of course it is. Come on Thursday for live music, starting around 9 p.m.

This is a lovely piano bar! It's totally LGBT friendly and owned and has a wonderfully inclusive atmosphere. You can see many different types of crowds here throughout the day and you can't miss the live piano performances at 9! read more

We went here a couple of months ago late one weekend afternoon. We were greeted by an employee tending the fire outside. Very cool looking place inside! The bar was maybe half full. Sat at a table. Was not acknowledged for five minutes. Went to bar. Stood there for two minutes. Was not acknowledged. Bartender scarcely turned around. I don't like having to work for service, so we left and went to Joanie's instead. read more

Enjoyed going in here to meet a friend for a couple of drinks to catch up. The place was not overly crowded but full enough I saw a few people I knew as well. Friendly atmosphere great bartenders every time I go. It is my go to happy hour place! Cheers! read more

Keypers Piano Bar - Piano Bars Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

It really depends on when you go and who's working. Friday and Saturday late nights have been the best times. There's a woman on piano taking requests, a lot of showtunes. Many regulars sing along. There's been some very talented singers. Always have a good conversation with some strangers. Drink prices may be the best in the area. I went once on a Sunday afternoon and didn't even get acknowledged by the staff. I was going to get lunch, but left without ordering anything. A little shabby, but there's been recent improvements to the exterior. read more

This is a combination neighborhood bar and dive bar. Everyone seems to know everyone, and they accept and are friendly to new faces. read more

Keypers took me by surprise in a lot of different ways. I really didn't know a thing about it. The only thing I did know is that I frequently pass it on Jefferson, but have never taken the time to stop by to see what it was about. Tonight I took that time, and sure enough -- it was not what I expected. First and foremost, this is a gay men bar. Very low key. Definitely a "locals" kind of place. This is where you go when you want to just hang out, have a couple of beers, and mingle with the neighborhood patrons. Secondly, it's a dive. I love dive bars. It does have smoking allowed. I don't care for it, but they have a sign warning you it's smoking before you walk in. If you don't like smoke -- then you shouldn't come here. They do have an option for an outdor patio. It's not a huge space, but it could settle 3 or 4 groups outside. They have pretty good food and mixed drinks. I had a pizza that was thin crust that was delicious. I'm not sure if it was worth what I paid for, but it didn't stop me from devouring most of it. I was pretty hungry! I went here alone. I enjoy checking out venues sometimes without company so I can just relax. The bartender Mark was such a sweetheart. Honestly, he just made my night all the better because he was so friendly. The people there were very few. All of us sat at the bar. Probably 6 or 7 of us total, and I was the only female there until the pianist showed up. We did have one thing in common -- we all love men! The men there were middle age except for the bartender and I. Not quite sure how it is typically like on a Saturday, but I didn't get the impression that this place is like Just John's or Bastilles. The primary concept of the name "Keypers" comes from the fact that it is indeed a piano bar. The pianist Patty doesn't play until 9:30pm. This evening she came in around 9 to be surprised with all the guys singing "happy birthday" to her and giving her a birthday cake which they shared with me. You truly get the impression that everyone there was so genuine. They treated me like they had known me for years and just accepted me as I was. Will I go back? Indeed. It's hard to find true authenticity in this city. That's hard to come by sometimes. None lacking here though at Keypers. read more

Watched what I believe to be one of the owners smashing a bottle over another man's head while he raged and screamed at him in their patio. Terrifying, and unbelievable. I almost called the police. Place also smelled like black mold the one time we went to get a drink, so did not stay. read more

Sean was the absolute best. I travel for work, and to find an establishment that can let me relax, this is the place!!

Okay, so...put $7 into the jukebox, then the piano player ( who was really, really, REALLY not that good.) never took breaks, so we never heard the music we selected. Ordered a pizza, first was okay, then we ordered a second, it took forever to come, and when it did it was burnt and when I asked if they were gonna make one without the entire top blackened, I got excuses about a broken oven, and being to busy to make it right, and was given it for free. It was inedibly burnt and was made to feel rude for calling out the fact of being in th e state it was and being appalled by it's state, and tried to get them to make an apparent 3rd attempt, and never received it. Pretty bad, IMHO. read more

Interesting place. I don't know if I was more impressed with the Pepto pink restroom or the heavy drinks. I felt like Guy Lombardo decorated the place and it even had the piano that patrons can sit around. Noone was able to play the piano because they had so many boxes on top of it. Yes they have outside patio area, but again so much stuff was back there I almost mistook it for storage area. Its one redeeming factor were the very heavy handed bartenders. If the drinks were coffee with straws would have stood straight up in them. read more

OK so I went there for dinner and was pleasingly surprised!You walk in the door and there are welcoming smiles and hellos all around.The prices are more than reasonable,there is food with a limited menu,blue plate specials,pizza ,burgers etc. The lighting is perfect,(smile}there are chandeliers!a small dining area to the back and for those that want theres a patio outback,from what I saw quite nice. As it turns out ,[being the south side }I knew quite a few of the patrons,all very nice people.It is a piano bar,nice,and when Patty isnt playing the JB is going with a good selection of all types of music ,its a nice little place with lots of charm,give it a try,you just might like what it is read more

This place is basically cheers. Lovely community setting with great people. Strongest drinks in town at the lowest price I've seen. If you like dive bars, this is the best place to go. It's a neighborhood hangout, but people from outside the neighborhood will fit in just fine. People are always lovely and welcoming. If you sit at the bar, anyone next to you will ask your name and have a great conversation. The patio is nice to sit at when the weather is nice, but make sure you get to listen to Patti on the piano. read more

The good: Patty Becker, the resident pianist, has a giant repertory of songs (including lots of Great American Songbook standards) and a terrific ear. If you're a cabaret performer looking for a place to try out some new material, you could do worse than to come here on a slow night and try a few songs with her. The bar also appears to serve pretty generous drinks, if the mammoth glass of red wine I had there is any indication. The bad: the smoke. You'll have to throw everything in the wash as soon as you get home. If you're a singer, that's the kind of thing that can make you a bit uneasy, since you know that stuff is also getting into your lungs. read more

I've yet to have any food from here, but these guys know how to make a drink and it's the only place in the neighborhood with live piano players. read more

I went for the first time last night and enjoyed myself. Friendly service, good drinks, authentic atmosphere. I only wish the piano were amplified louder. She was great! read more

Super cute. Almost gave me a divey art deco vibe. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

OMG this place is a gem! Great specials.. Awesome piano bar!! David is a great bartender and the gal playing the piano was uber talented! If your local, check it out. If your passing through, STOP and check it out!! read more

Small local South City piano bar with lots of charm. Went here for the first time on a sunday night. The resident piano player was there, she could play just about anything you wanted, but the tempo of the songs she chose were not as lively as I would have liked. Great old building-ruff around the ages but like I said lots of charm. Great bar tender bought everyone at the bar a shoot-claimed it was cherry vanilla or something like that. Very good- bartender! Made my husband a shoot he called pancakes for his b-day. Can't wait to go back to this place. Stop in and check it out if only to check out the old buildings charm. read more

Keypers has to be the most underrated bar in Saint Louis. I love this place. Drinks are very reasonably priced and there is live music every night. If you want to sit down, relax, enjoy yourself and meet great people you should go to Keypers. read more

Always a great time. Bar tenders are very friendly, crowd is great.

Keypers is the Crown Jewel of St. Louis! Extremely welcoming patrons, the friendliest of barkeypers, the most entertaining karaoke pianist with a very wide repertoire, and inexpensive drinks make for an unforgettable evening of fun and enjoyment. Truly a rare experience in this age of overpriced, overhyped, unfriendly bars. read more

My companions and I were visiting St Louis for a wedding and had a few hours to kill on our last day before heading to the airport. It was too hot to do any sightseeing so on the recommendation of our airbnb host we headed to Keypers to store our luggage and decide what to do next. The bar staff was so friendly (and the prices so incredibly reasonable) we ended up spending our last few hours here. Everyone was so welcoming and we had a great afternoon full of laughs and great conversation. Would highly recommend this bar to anyone looking for that local "cheers-where everybody knows your name" vibe. read more

5 Stars all the way. Antique chandeliers, long wood bar, corner piano, and eclectic patio. Bartender on duty was very entertaining and sociable. read more
