AN EVENING IN PERFECT HARMONY

Located just north of the River, and right off State Street, are two gems that will have you singing all night long. 

Howl at the Moon is the home of dueling pianos. Jam to Guns ‘n' Roses and AC/DC covers or one of the many other crowd favorites. If one piano player doesn't know your requested song, the other undoubtedly will.

A few blocks north, the winking eye of the Redhead Piano Bar sign welcomes you. Here the bow-tied bartenders shake and stir, while couples chatter until they break out in song. The walls are covered with sheet music and memorabilia that will put you in the sing-a-long spirit. But it's the double shift of players, with an early show running until 11 p.m. and a second show ending at 4 a.m., that will keep you entranced.

Just like Ol' Blue Eyes, Jilly's bar serves up a lively swagger that goes on until the wee hours of the morning. You'll hear the best of Frank Sinatra and swing from some of Chicago's most talented piano men.

Step in to the Zebra Lounge on north State Street for an intimate sip of life, surrounded by its intriguing namesake interior. On the way there, you could "pop" into Pops for Champagne, which offers live music from a trio, Sunday through Tuesday nights.

And just a short cab ride, in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood, is Davenport's where singing wait staff sing-along with popular Chicago performers. This lively piano bar offers informal musical entertainment, featuring sing-a-longs and audience requests. Davenport's also features extraordinary cabaret acts. A two-drink minimum is all that's required to enjoy the performance.

See how your evening plays out in Chicago. You're sure to find a tune that suits you.
