Redhead Piano Bar
Welcome to the vibrant world of Redhead Piano Bar, located at 16 W Ontario St, Chicago, IL 60654. This lively venue is more than just a bar; it’s a pulsating hub of entertainment and camaraderie, where the magic of live music meets the thrill of nightlife. When you step inside, you're immediately enveloped by an atmosphere alive with energy, laughter, and the enchanting melodies performed by talented pianists.
As a dedicated food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I can’t help but share the exuberance echoed in customer reviews. For many, Redhead Piano Bar is a cherished destination. One enthusiastic patron, Molly McPheron, describes it as one of her favorite spots in Chicago, highlighting the exceptional service from staff members like Kaleen and Mike. If you plan to visit, arrive early to secure a seat, although there's always room for those eager to dance the night away.
Equally captivating is the experience for private events, which many have raved about. Molly Everett shared her joy of celebrating a birthday with a VIP table, praising the impressive music and the helpfulness of the staff. It seems the staff’s attentiveness enhances the already incredible atmosphere, allowing guests to focus on what really matters—making memories.
However, be forewarned—this bar is immensely popular, especially on weekends. Ellie M noted the bustling crowd on a Saturday night with no seat available in the main bar area, which she described as packed but still incredibly fun. For those who crave a more relaxed experience, there’s an outdoor cigar lounge that offers a cozy escape while still allowing you to enjoy the essence of the bar.
With its lively ambiance, superb service, and talented musicians, Redhead Piano Bar captures the spirit of Chicago's nightlife. Whether you’re there to celebrate a special occasion or simply to enjoy an electrifying piano show, you’re bound to find joy here. It’s a space where laughter, music, and dance collude to create unforgettable evenings. So grab your friends, order a drink, and get ready for a night filled with entertainment and merriment!
If you have an upcoming gathering, I highly recommend considering Redhead Piano Bar for your next celebration. You might just find your new favorite spot in the city.

“ This is one of my favorite spots in Chicago and is a must do every time I’m here! Kaleen and Mike are both amazing! If you want a seat, make sure to get there early, but there’s lots of room for standing and dancing too! ”
“ We had an unforgettable time! This was a team celebration, and we couldn’t have picked a better place. Emily, our server, was absolutely amazing—she anticipated our needs and managed our lively group like a true pro. 10 out of 10—highly recommend! ”
“ Super busy bar... visited on a Saturday night and there was not a single place to sit and barely to stand in the main bar area. The only place I could sit was in their outside cigar lounge. I am not a cigar smoker but decided to try one so my boyfriend and I could order a couple drinks. The lounge was very cozy and calm atmosphere, but if you plan to visit for the piano, just expect a huge crowd. ”
“ We had a great time here! We got the VIP table for my husband and mine's birthday and it was a great time. The music was excellent, and the staff was so easy to work with before and during our time there! They were kind, courteous, and we had absolutely no complaints. Can't wait to go back, and definitely would not hesitate to host another event here. ”
“ I didn't have a drink. The place was packed, not a seat. In the house, but still a great laugh. If I would have had more time, I definitely could have stayed the whole night. What a wonderful place to be. ”
“ This place has been around for a long time in Chicago. Anyone that comes to visit I make sure to take them here for a good time and show them that there is more to the city than Giordano’s and museums. Every night feels like a weekend night here because the crowd really loves to participate and sing at the top of their lungs. Come ready with the same to tip the piano player and get your song played! ”
