FunHaus Factory has launched a new monthly Sunday Noontime Piano Bar series, transforming the venue into an intimate daytime piano lounge celebrating live music, long lunches and unhurried afternoons. Running across February and beyond, the series features two distinct piano bar experiences: a Classical Piano Bar on the second Sunday of each month, and a Jazz & Blues Piano Bar on the third Sunday.
This Sunday 8 February, audiences are invited to slow their weekend right down with the Classical Piano Bar, an elegant and easy-going afternoon of live piano performed by accomplished Central Coast pianist Mary-Ellen Wallace. The space transforms into a relaxed pop-up piano bar anchored by FunHaus Factory’s baby grand, filled with some of the most beautiful piano music ever written.
The Classical Piano Bar offers a thoughtfully curated journey through classical and romantic masterpieces, impressionist works and modern favourites — from Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Liszt, Brahms and Rachmaninoff through to Satie, Einaudi and contemporary composers. This is not a hushed concert hall or formal recital, but a warm, welcoming room where conversation is encouraged, drinks are flowing and the afternoon unfolds at its own pace.
Importantly, the Noontime Piano Bar series operates on a pay-what-you-want model, making live music accessible for any budget and inviting the community to support the artists in a way that feels right for them.
Guests can enjoy two generous live piano sets alongside a full lunch menu, quality drinks and the unmistakable FunHaus atmosphere — social, unpretentious and full of heart. It’s designed for friends catching up, lingering over lunch, and letting the piano do the heavy lifting.
Creative Director Glitta Supernova says the series is about opening the doors wider to music, connection and community. “Thanks to the support of ABC Classic and Pianos for the People, we now have this gorgeous baby grand at FunHaus Factory. Launching our piano bar series felt like a natural way to invite people in, slow things down, and experience live piano in a relaxed, welcoming space.”
Following the Classical Piano Bar, FunHaus Factory will present the Jazz & Blues Piano Bar on Sunday 15 February, featuring internationally acclaimed jazz and blues vocalist Zoe K, bringing smoky soul, New Orleans spirit and timeless piano classics to the baby grand.
FunHaus Factory’s Sunday Noontime Piano Bars run from 12pm–5pm, with live music from 1pm–3pm, with food and drinks available throughout the afternoon.
Please book online on the Funhaus Factory website.
