A '''piano bar''' (also known as a '''piano lounge''') consists of a [[piano]] or [[electronic keyboard]] played by a professional [[musician]], located in a [[cocktail lounge]], [[bar (counter)|bar]], hotel lobby, or office building lobby. Usually the pianist receives tips in a jar or basket on or near the piano, especially from patrons requesting a song. Some piano bars feature a baby grand or [[grand piano]] surrounded by stools for patrons (or, somewhat humorously, an upright piano covered by a counter that makes it appear to be a grand piano). Others have a bar surrounding the piano or keyboard.

[[Jimmy Durante]] started as a [[piano bar]] player, as did [[Billy Joel]]. His classic hit "[[Piano Man (song)|Piano Man]]" is based on his experiences as a piano bar player.

There are several different types of piano bars:
:'''(No changes today)'''

===September 29, 2008===
*'''"instrumental only":''' the professional piano/keyboard player plays strictly instrumental music, which is usually [[classical (music)|classical]], semi-classical, or "[[easy listening]]"; this type of piano bar is often found in hotel lobby lounges or "fine dining" restaurants.

===September 26, 2008===
*'''"only the musician sings":''' the professional piano/keyboard player sings to his/her accompaniment, usually on [[microphone]], but no other singers are generally allowed.
:'''(No changes today)'''

===September 24, 2008===
*'''"the musician and waitpersons sing":''' the professional musician sings and also invites waitpersons to sing solos.
:'''(No changes today)'''

===September 21, 2008===
*'''"sing-along":''' patrons surrounding the piano/keyboard sing as a group, usually without any microphones, often preferring "[[standard (music)|standards]]" and "[[show tune]]s", or very old songs like "Down By The Old Mill Stream", "Bicycle Built For Two", etc., but in some cases [[pop music|pop]] or [[rock music|rock]].
:'''(No changes today)'''

===September 17, 2008===
*'''"dueling pianos":''' usually on stage with two grand pianos, each played by a professional player who sings and entertains; humor and audience participation are prevalent; usually these types of piano bars have substantial [[sound system]]s, and most of the songs performed are [[rock and roll]], "[[classic rock]]", [[Top 40]], [[R&B]], or [[country music|country]], sometimes played by request. This format originated in late 1986 at Alley Cats in Dallas, TX, and was based on the old-style dueling pianos still found at Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans, LA.{{dubious}} Popular clubs like Pete's dueling pianos, Shout House dueling pianos, Ernie Biggs Rock & Roll Dueling Piano Bar, Rum Runners, Jellyrolls and Sing Sing perform high-energy interactive sing-along shows, while [[Howl at the Moon Piano Bar]] features full performance shows by the pianists. Spike Blake and Adam Blue of [http://www.duelingpianoskc.com Roll Over Beethoven] from Kansas City, on their website, criticize the quality and effect of "chain" dueling piano bars. They suggest chain-employed piano players are slaves to bar owners.<ref>Blue, Adam. [http://duelingpianoskc.com/duelingpianobar.html "About dueling piano bars",] (2005)</ref>

===September 14, 2008===
*'''"open mic":''' individual patrons sing (on microphone) to the accompaniment of the professional musician; in some ways, this type of piano bar is like [[karaoke]], except that the music is live and dynamic, and there are usually no [[lyrics]] available (although some piano bar players do supply some lyrics); like karaoke, the songs performed may cover a wide, eclectic range ("show tunes", "standards" from the 1920's forward, [[jazz]], country, [[R&B]], rock'n'roll, blues, [[folk music|folk]], [[soul music|soul]], [[disco]], [[hip-hop]], etc.); the patron singers are usually called to the microphone in a rotating order; often, each singer is allowed 2 or 3 songs each time he/she is called to perform.

===September 9, 2008===
*'''"combination":''' some piano bars include the characteristics of two or more of the above, either on different nights or combined on the same night. For instance, at a "sing along" piano bar, a patron or wait person might sing a solo from time to time.
