Fodor's Expert Review Brandy's Piano Bar
Upper East Side
At this delightful and intimate uptown saloon and piano bar, the singing waitstaff warms up the mixed crowd, getting everyone in the mood to belt out their favorite tunes. In fact, the Brandy's scene is so cheerful that some patrons call it musical Prozac, capable of keeping depression at bay. Live music starts at 9:30 nightly; there's no cover charge, but the bar has a two-drink minimum per person. The daily happy hour is 4–8:30.
