The New Year’s celebration was great. Mary was amazing on the piano! We were a group of 4 and arrived around 8pm, before it got packed. We enjoyed the experience and found the atmosphere to be charming.

Fun hangout in Venice. Piano and singers and the crowd gets involved at times. Smoke a cigar on the sidewalk talk to the friendly patrons!

Kitschy decor and kind owners makes you feel like this is your grandma’s home away from home, but with better wine. If you enjoy music and singing along, show up at 730 for some showtunes and fun. Very small place so be prepared to share a table or stand. Can’t wait to come back.

The only downside to this very fun place is no food. Next time we’ll eat before we come. Very unique atmosphere for great piano and sing along.

I love this place, but I shouldn’t. The staff is lovely. Music every night. Big baby grand piano with bar stools all the way around get there early if you want to sit there. In the off season it’s incredible. During season it’s not good. So crowded it’s just one to avoid. Stop in during the off season. The owner/ bartender is one of the most wonderful person you will ever meet. Welcomes you in as if you are a family member. Piano player singer is good and gets the whole crowd singing. Movie and show tunes. But no Jazz, I am a Jazz fan. The owner however played some Great Jazz on the sound system for us because I am a Jazz fan. That is awesome!!!! My only concern is the crowd, it is truly shoulder to shoulder and if you need to pee you might have to go in the ally and relieve yourself. Yep one bathroom for the boys and girls. I have to say they keep it Neat and Clean, it shocked me when I finally got in there. With its faults, try to get in here. It is worth the effort. Just get here early and keep an open mind. I promise you will have a great time.

We recently became snowbirds in the Venice Island area, and one night, while driving by, we heard piano music and sing-alongs coming from the Zebra Lounge. Intrigued, we decided to stop in—and we’re so glad we did!
From the moment we sat down, the experience was magical. The entertainer (Tom) for the night immediately sat next to us, striking up a conversation and asking what songs we’d like to hear. It felt personal and welcoming, setting the tone for an incredible evening. Ari, the owner, also stopped by to introduce himself, adding a touch of hospitality that’s rare these days.
The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, reminiscent of the small, vibrant venues we loved in New York City’s West Village—specifically spots like Terra Blues on Bleecker Street. The energy here is fantastic, completely unexpected for such a quiet part of Florida.
We spent the night singing along, enjoying great music, and meeting wonderful people. It was a true gem of an experience, and we can’t wait to return again and again. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable night out in Venice!
