Low Key Piano Bar - Piano Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I love going to Low Key. The musicians are all fun and funny, but what I enjoy even more is the lively crowd--when people go there, they go to have fun. It's a blast to watch people cut loose. Drinks are average-priced, but the fish bowls are a particularly good value, and the Jell-O shots, which come in giant syringes, are fun. read more

Honestly love the vibe. Great deals on drinks, not too busy, and live music playing. The drinks were pretty good and there was plenty of space to sit or stand. Great way to start off the night! read more

Following my commencement and convocation ceremonies at ASU, I wanted a celebratory beer before calling a it a night. My girlfriend and I roamed the quiet streets of Tempe on a Monday night and came across a mysterious staircase that echoed the sounds of a playing piano into a dark abyss. What we found was a lively and welcoming piano bar, hidden amongst other bars that flood the upstairs in the streets of Tempe. I can see future visits to the city accompanied by the Low Key Piano Bar. Thank you. read more

Low Key Piano Bar - 805 - Piano Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

It pains me after so many fun memories to have experienced how horrible the staff are. Upon paying good money to do a song a dear friend of mine was met with such horrible staff that mocked them even. After years of great memories and group experiences I will never return here. read more

My husband decided to surprise me. He knows love piano bars. We had a great time at this bar in Tempe. The employees were all very friendly, especially Nick at the front door. He was super helpful. I was waiting for my husband to park. I believe he may have parked at the Mexico border...Or at least that's how long it felt for him to find a parking spot. He did find a public garage close by with lots of parking. It was four dollars to park in the garage. The bar was surprisingly bigger than I thought it would be. There was plenty of seating, but it does start to fill up around 9 PM. They had four entertainers that rotated on the two dueling pianos, a set of drums and a guitar. It was pretty cool to see the performers, each playing the different instruments throughout the night. They knew all the traditional piano bar songs as well as all of today's hits. They are a talented group of guys. We tried the peach tea fishbowl, which was a very delicious drink. It wasn't too sugary and had just the right amount of peach. I could drink several of them. They do serve food but we had already eaten. Overall, we had a great time. Thank you! read more

The white guy playing piano has got to be replaced. My sister paid $20 to karaoke sing an ABBA song, which was the only thing she wanted to do tonight. He replied "No more ABBA" and after asking why he then said "Because it's late and I said so". She paid $20 to be allowed to sit on the piano bench and sing five lines while he belted the rest of the track she chose. The rest of the musical staff is great, but this dude needs to be replaced. read more

Went out with my sober friend last night and she suggested to stop into this bar. The 12 year old Matt Rife door guy stopped her and said she was too intoxicated to be let in when we tried to show id and enter. Not me, but her. We didn't feel need to argue or correct him and just didn't go in. So adding this spot to the places I'll never go and will never recommend read more

If I had a dollar for every time I made a comment about how awful the white dude playing the piano sang, I'd able to pay off all of my absolutely nuked Long Island ice tea fishbowls. Definitely a spot to hit on mill, either to just hang out before going elsewhere or a chilled night to end the evening. Clean bathrooms with minimal line, which is nice. Staff is friendly. I'm a big fan of the booths and the overall layout. But holy shit please find someone else to sing on the weekends. read more

This fun establishment should be named High Key piano bar! So many people it was hard to find seating, lucky there was enough chairs near the front for my friends and I to sit and enjoy the show! These people are absolutely talented af!! They all seem to play different instruments from Piano to guitar to actually singing! Such a fun atmosphere. By far my favorite spot to pop in at Tempe Mill Ave read more

Went here on New Years when it was crazy busy and still had a great time! The Photo Booth is nice to have and the music is great. What's even better--the staff is very friendly and helpful, I left my phone New years Eve and it was turned in and still there when I came back for it three days later. That was a Wednesday night. We stayed for a drink and both enjoyed our fishbowl drinks! And the music was truly awesome that night too! Definitely recommend for a great time with friends! read more

i love this bar and the staff. every time i go its a blast. rumple and jello shots all night from the best server/bartender/manager ever (kloe). read more

Lowkey Is one my fav spots to hit on mill ave. The staff has always been so kind and friendly, the drinks are fantastic and the jell-o shots are always a must when you go to lowkey! Kloe is always great at recommending drinks if you are stuck on what to get! I always recommend lowkey to friends read more

Low key piano bar had the sneakiest staff I have ever dealt with. Walked in the door and they were all saying "5$ well drinks all night" so I order a tequila soda only for them to charge me for a higher shelf tequila without asking. When seeing my $100 check I asked to see an itemized receipt before I paid and they said they can't show me until after I finalize payment with tip. After I paid, they brought out the itemized receipt with drink charges of $13-$18 per drink. I told them that I didn't order any of that and they said "there's nothing we can do, drinks were already on the table so I can't take it off." We asked if we could do anything about it and the server said that she was the manager and the owner doesn't care to read reviews or emails about problems. The piano player also came up to our table and tried to guilt us into tipping more so he could play our songs. Overall, not the best establishment. read more

GREAT BAR RUDE STAFF. I am an ASU grad and lowkey was one of the highlights of my college experience. The environment/ music is fabulous and the drinks are cheep considering the area. My only complaint is with the staff. The bar tenders are flat out rude. Not sure why they have waitress style table service, this is a bar I should be able to order at the bar. There also should be a better system for song recommendation, really not worth it. Paid $ many times and never got my song played. read more

$20 request for song ignored by band along with occasion note. Bartender ignored $5 well drink Wednesday special. Paid $13 each for well style drinks. Buddy got charged $8 each for bottled 805. read more

Service was good, drinks were average, entertainment was great. My only complaints are 1. They don't start playing til 9PM and 2. They don't have the cozy booth seating down in front near the pianos (just standard 2/4 seater tables and chairs). The pianists were funny, talented, and we were all entertained. I'll come back when I'm more prepared to stay out late. read more

Came here after a day at Tempe Town Lake. Great vibe. I would just say it is a notch or two louder than it needs to be. There is a difference between high energy and high volume. One should be able to have some table talk without needing to yell to the person seated a foot away. The crowd was enthusiastic and sang along to many of the songs. I noticed when leaving around midnight, that this bar no longer had a short line like when I first arrived around 8pm. However, many of the college crowd bars and dance clubs had lines 40 plus people deep waiting to get in when those same places had no lines earlier in the night. read more

We went there on a Saturday after having a dinner at somewhere else. I am kinda new in the neighborhood, and Low Key is located in the basement, therefore, I didn't notice this place until I saw some people were going down and up from it. I got curious and told my partner to check it out. I am glad we did. Low Key is a nice Piano Bar, the energy, music, and vibe were great. Lots of tables of different sizes, and it was open seating. It was crowded when we went there so we had to stand for a while until a table got emptied. Fortunately, the table turns were fast; we didn't wait a long time. I liked some pianists more than the others. The good thing is they take turns to play every hour or so. I got a fishbowl; Mill Ave Mai Thai. Very affordable compared to the size you got. However, I found the Mai Thai to be super, extremely, sweet. I won't order the same flavor when I go back there. I also got a jelly shot from the server who was walking between the tables to sell it. I think it was $7, and again, It is a quite large size. idk, maybe I am coming from San Diego and we usually get a smaller size for the price, I found this a larger size lol Anyway, I've enjoyed the night while spending time at Low Key Piano Bar. We will be back read more

Great time! Funny and good music. Great atmosphere! Go early or reserve a table! Drinks are a bit pricey but the entertainment is worth it!

Had a great time with ages 22-60 on a family night out. Everyone had fun with great music and entertainment.

I used to love this bar - it was my go to always - but lately it's gone downhill. It used to be fun music all night, but now it seems like everyone is trying too hard to be crude and funny and half the time the full song doesn't get played because they turn it into an unnecessarily vulgar joke or they change the words to be "funny." Also, you have to pay such an unnecessary amount of money for your song to get played and half the time they call out your song and say they don't like it and don't play it anyway. Sad that this bar has become one of my least favorite places. :( read more

Talented pianists and great listening, but one of the pianist was rude and would only play your requested song if you tipped over $20 then shamed people for requesting a song with a tip they thought was too low. read more

My friends and I were walking by and had definitely had a few drinks. We started talking to Jose one of the security guards and he was on his game. We were asking him some questions about mill and some guy who looks to be in his late 30's shows him an ID (which I feel like most security guards just take a quick pass at) and told the guy he can't let him in because it's not a valid ID. He was kind and firm and not mean at all. Just a super lovable guy and you could tell he was keeping the place super safe! He said that I was too inebriated to go down the stairs to get into the building which I totally respect and he's 100% right. My friends and I called it a night right after. read more

Very fun place with extremely talented piano players/singers. Usually busy to make a reservation. The place itself is a little dingy but you're going for the drinks and fun. They are Closed Monday & Tues. which their voicemail says only Monday. We made the mistake of driving an hour to go on a Tues when we had guests in town. read more

First time here! Several seating options big and small so you can sit with a group. Awesome piano playing. Service was great we never had to wait to order drinks read more

Low Key Piano Bar - a man on stage - Piano Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Went to celebrate for my 30th birthday and we all still can't stop talking about how much fun we had here!! The energy was amazing. The songs were amazing. Definitely will be going back! read more

Pianist and band was cool. Do not go on stage when the band requests or you will be kicked out after one drink and be put in handcuffs. Total joke. Not worth the time or money read more

Employees were incredibly rude. Called me fat to my face. Refused to accommodate my disability as well. Will never return and will never recommend read more

Went here last night for the first time and it was awesome. I wasn't sure what the atmosphere would be like since it's in the college district of tempe but it was amazing. Great talent in the pianos who were engaging with the audience and playing all requests. The place was huge and had a mixture of people which made it even more fun. There were mostly younger professional adults I would say between 24-40 which was a great scene. I will definitely go back! read more

Must tip $20+ to maybe get your song request played. And I must have 85 characters to post a review.

The worst bar by far on mill!!! They got mad because we left and came back to eat Mexican food!! They are the over priced and over rated. Horrible service! Horrible staff read more

This is my favorite place on Mill without a dance floor. The age range is very wide compared to most other places and everyone seems comfortable with that. I would take my mom here- it's just fun. The musicians are good, and it's not just one person on a piano. I've heard them do a variety of types of music well. It's so fun to sing along with everyone there- people really get into it! Plus, there's no cover. When the place is busy, the service gets slower, but I've been impressed by the quality. They're very nice with splitting a table's bill, even on a busy night with a big group. The drink menu is more limited than some other places nearby, and all their signature cocktails seem to incorporate Red Bull for some reason. I wish requesting songs actually worked without providing a cash tip, but I don't mind trusting other people to pick good music. It usually works. read more

I have always loved coming to this place, however tonight one of the older performers made an incredibly transphobic comment that is unnecessarily pointed, and opinionated. Leave it off stage buddy. read more

I am new to AZ, and I am here for school. Got overwhelmed with studying, so I went to this spot for good vibes and a drink, and they definitely passed the vibe check. It was so much fun! Saving this spot as one of them ones to go to for a good time. The only thing is that when it gets packed, you have to stand, which is the norm for bars. Also, when my friend and I did finally end up getting a table we saw that they had a menu with food on it and waiters walking around but no one came to ask if we wanted to order anything until about 40 minutes of sitting down. It was a busy night, so that may have been why. Fortunately, my friend and I were not hungry. read more

The music was entertaining. Most of the songs were known to me. The drink prices were reasonable considering the location and activity. We had great fun. read more

Low Key Piano Bar - Piano Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

So fun! We made reservations and I am super bummed that it wasn't clear that I was reserving a table and thought I needed to reservations for each person in my party. I ended up getting charged for all 4 tables and thought they were going to credit us on our final bill but they didn't. Either way the music and pianists were amazing and soo fun! Great drinks, great location! Wish there was one closer to home for me (it's a pricey Uber ride back but worth it!) read more

Good vibes if you're looking for somewhere to go on a Tuesday night which we were. We came out after dinner and ordered a fishbowl to share. You can tell it's mostly everything but alcohol, but we still finished it as it tasted pretty average and as you can see it was mostly ice. The pianists are super talented and seem to really enjoy their jobs, they mostly play older hits but seem to know their audience well. I'd come back for the music, less so the drinks. read more
