88 Keys

Description

The term "piano bar" often signifies a saloon-like singalong atmosphere filled with pop, country and rock tunes. Not at 88 Keys, however. Big, antique furniture fills the spacious rooms, drinks come across a gorgeous marble bar top, and the ivory-ticklers at this upscale River Oaks lounge are professional pianists of the highest scale. True, we walked in to a smooth version of "Dust In the Wind," but then came Chopin and Lizst, and all of a sudden it felt like the hotel bar of the Ritz-Carlton.
