Gorgeous hidden gem. Visited the all request night 13 July, what a fantastic pianist and soloist. Stayed for 3 hours of sublime personal and interactive music who played everything from Rhianna to Sinatra including some of my all time favourites. Can't recommend highly enough.

Friendly, welcoming staff at an all seated music lounge. The atmosphere is wonderful. We saw Mo Pleasure and Jazzy Phoenix who were on fire, so the music itself could not have been better. The sound was perfectly balanced. The stage lighting was exactly what you would want to build atmosphere. We had delicious Pizza which the venue orders in from the local Pizzeria. Good value food, reasonably priced drinks. Oh, and did I say how welcoming the staff were?

A narrow entrance, deceptive opening up to a beautifully decorated time period when jazz was jazz. I could see myself smoking a cigarette with a glass of whiskey in a dimly lit hall, the piano swinging as the saxophone sings. Table service...bar is available at the back. This is a place for genuine music lovers. Where talent is appreciated. Morris "Mo" Pleasure and guests: - Dan Reinstein -Jazzy Phoenix

Small venue but perfect, the staff where so polite and attentive, good choice of drinks at decent prices considering where you are but the piano players/singer was fantastic, we should of got her name so we can go back again to see her, so clever and knowledgeable about the songs being given to her and really did to some great versions. Definitely worth a visit and we are definitely coming back.

Gorgeous, small quaint little piano bar. We attended a Hannah Grace concert, and from the minute we entered, we were made to feel really welcome. They offer table service, which was great because we could just concentrate on the music. The staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive and kept our drinks flowing. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Be aware you do have to go down a flight of stairs to enter the premises. But once you are inside, the venue is on one floor. The venue is clean, tidy, and well loved, with clean and cared for toilets. I wouldn't have thought of visiting before the concert, but i will definitely be back!

James and the team are very welcoming, the drinks are reasonably priced for London and the pizzas are yummy! I just had my birthday there for the second year running and it didn’t disappoint. So worth the trek into London and we are already planning our next visit! Thanks so much for a great night!

We enjoyed our visit with the performances. It is a small space so you can get quite close to the stage. One star off due to the very limited choices of food. They ordered pizzas for you, but no gluten-free options and only one snack. The staff were friendly though.

Intimate underground venue. Greeted by James and shown to our seats. Table service - of drinks & pizzas at reasonable prices for London - by helpful and discreet waitresses. Came to see Jana Varga who has an amazing voice and is an accomplished musician - played guitar, piano & flute on this occasion. Last saw her at Indigo O2 supporting Rumer and very impressed so bought her CD "Foreigner Face" & booked to see her again here. Lovely relaxed evening followed by a request session with a engaging pianist (sorry didn't catch his name). Great night and would like to return for a repeat performance. Recommended.

Nothing beats a great night out listening to live music, right? Piano Smithfield is, if not THE place for live music and amazing cocktails in London Barbican with a unique atmosphere, brilliant musicians, amicable staff, and memorable cocktails. We have been to Piano Smithfield in Barbican/London now a few times as a couple and with friends and have always had the best time thanks to James and his amazing staff. Because of our great experience in the past, I had booked the Piano Smithfield bar for a private event (60th surprise Birthday) and what can I say it was a night to remember not just for me and the birthday boy but also for everyone who attended (80+ people) the event that day. Words fall short of expressing how amazing James and his staff were, looking after every guest. Making sure we were served with food and drinks and we had the right music at each point through the night. Not only that, the help that I received setting up some decor at the venue and also snacks that were specially requested by some of the guests were served and filled up all through the night. I want to say THANK YOU again to James and his Team from myself and everyone who attended the Birthday Party in Jan 2024 at the Piano Smithfield ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Nice music/bar venue. Unfortunately, I bought tickets for what turned out to be a popular event and they decided to pack it to the rafters. As a result, I ended up sitting on a glorified footstool. It was so uncomfortable, I had to leave halfway. And what made it worse was that I paid the same money as the people who were sitting on the comfy banquette seats. Not for me.

Intimate live music venue with loads of potential. Came to see a show for the EFG London Jazz Festival here. We were seated in the 2nd row which was a brilliant place to be: so close to the band but also able to see everyone playing. The general experience could easily be improved. On arrival, it was very quiet with no / low volume music on, and we were seated immediately despite hardly anybody being there, and could only order from the table. Would be better having a buzzy bar in the hour before a show. They don't have a kitchen but you could order pizzas in which is a great touch, though the pizzas were quite greasy, takeaway-style. Would be better to partner with a nicer pizzeria. We really enjoyed the evening overall.

My husband and I visited here for piano bar requests on the Saturday of our honeymoon and have both agreed that it was the highlight of our time in London. The atmosphere was friendly, the music and the blending of the requests made for an excellent night out. We didn't realize that you were meant to pre-book but the staff were able to squeeze us in which was greatly appreciated! We're planning to come back to London in August and are already planning our return visit to Piano Smithfield. If you are looking for a fun night out, this is the place.

I don't enjoy posting bad reviews based on one experience and especially so for independent places such as this which need our support, however me and my family had a really disappointing breakfast here. Whilst I don't expect premium ingredients in a cafe, this breakfast was made with some of poorest quality ingredients I've ever experienced. The toast which I suspect was made using the cheapest bread you can buy was rock solid despite being millimeters thick. The sausages tasted of oats and breadcrumbs and I reckon contained no more than 10% meat. The bacon was okay but a little burnt around the edges which left the beans which were surprisingly good and fried eggs which also fine. Like I said I don't expect top quality ingredients in a cafe but if you're going to charge me £14.50 for a breakfast then I expect something a little more edible. I know these places have high overheads especially in zone 1 London but I've paid a lot less for far superior quality in other cafes not too far away. On a positive note the coffee was good and my daughter did enjoy her scrambled eggs.
