One of the best vibes in Boston lately! The pianist takes song recommendations and it's an impromptu karaoke experience 🎤 Julia, our pianist, was so funny with the best voice. I felt super safe and the unlimited popcorn was perfect for all the singing I did! Bonus tips, most of the cocktails can be made non-alcoholic if you ask!

This piano bar is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is lively and fun! The pianists are incredibly talented — playing everything from jazz classics to crowd-pleasing sing-alongs. The drinks were great, the staff was welcoming, and the whole experience was great.

Incredible place! We came for my sister’s birthday and the staff treated her like a queen! Neil was the piano player and not only is he a fabulous musician, he also is so funny and keeps the crowd engaged. 10/10 recommend!!

This place is SUCH A VIBE! We had Neil on the piano and had so much fun!! The drinks are great and we loved the music!! You can request songs so it’s like a giant karaoke party and Neil is so good on the piano and ad libs on the songs to make it so fun! I literally can’t recommend enough!! Will be coming back so often I think this is my new fav spot to go out!!

We came here mainly because D’s Keys closed down and this spot seemed like the next best thing, and it didn’t disappoint. While the vibe is definitely different, it’s in a great way. The atmosphere feels more refined and thoughtfully put together, from the menu to the overall aesthetics. That said, the place doesn’t take itself too seriously, there’s a cheeky neon sign near the bathrooms reminding guests not to do substances, which gave us a laugh. The staff was genuinely friendly, and the piano player was incredibly talented, blending humor with impressive musical skills. It was pretty quiet around 7:30 when we arrived, but things started to pick up nicely about an hour later. I also appreciated how it connects to Kings, it adds a fun, unique dynamic. Overall, a 5/5 experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Had an amazing time at King, The 88 Club! The ambiance was fantastic, and the drinks were on point. What really stood out was the exceptional service—Kyle was absolutely amazing. He made sure to check in with us regularly, ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The piano lady was also a highlight, taking requests. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun night out!

Looking for somewhere new and intimate for date night?! Highly recommend stopping in at this new piano bar in Back Bay. My fiancé and I stopped in with friends and we were so happy we did. The classy vibe with the cozy booths was so inviting. They had killer martinis and their apps were delicious! I really enjoyed the dirty martini dip. We’ll definitely be stopping in the next time we go into Boston.

Just WOW. This new piano bar in Back Bay is everything Boston didn’t know it needed! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away—every inch of the space is stunning and every inch is Instagram story worthy. The performers were incredible. True talents on stage all night, plus so playful with the crowd, we love that. You can tell they’ve curated top-tier entertainers who know how to work a room. Service was elite—friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. Felt like a VIP the entire time. Can’t wait to go back!

When we arrived, we were impressed by the beautifully decorated Christmas atmosphere. Since the bar was still empty, the waiter was quick and served the drink that was on the menu. However, he never mentioned that there was a second menu with different food options. Once the place started getting busy, the service became terrible. The food we ordered never arrived, and I had to speak to the manager because it was taking too long. By that point, we were already disappointed. The musicians are excellent, but the bar really needs to retrain its staff.

Late post..... great time!!! This spot felt very familiar and that's because it took over a portion of Kings. You are greeted with fresh popcorn at your table. The drinks are delicious and cute. The live music is fun and you don't really notice the transaction from live to DJ (at least I didn't 😊). The menu options is small but you do have the option to order from the King's menu. The staff was also attentive throughout the night.

First visit. Mostly older white crowd and it felt off. A birthday guest announced "I love virgins" on the mic which was gross. Food from Dumpling Daughter was heavy and doughy. We found a second menu only after ordering. Server forgot drinks and basics so I grabbed silverware and asked other staff. The name gave me pause since 88 is also a hate symbol and that put me on edge even after I learned it refers to piano keys. A small note explaining the name would help. For the bowling alley menu maybe try adding a falafel wrap, tandoori wings, or peri peri cauliflower or something. I would come back if service tightens and the food improves. Pianist was excellent but song choice was for an older white audience. Edit: Went back and it was a different crowd. Got a pizza and a buttery pretzel and both were good. Musician was phenomenal and the crowd was much better. The service is still terrible. told me they can only give me bar napkins then ran away from the table before I could ask for silverware. Only got 2 drinks all night because the waiter wasn't coming over. Weird.
