Nightly
live dining room and lounge entertainment have attracted Central
Florida locals and tourists to Barney’s Steak & Seafood for more
than 30 years.
Orlando, FL
– In Orlando, dining and entertainment often go hand in hand. However,
finding live dinner entertainment seven nights a week in a relaxing,
yet elegant atmosphere, is often trickier than it sounds. Most
restaurants stage it only a few times a week; others provide it solely
on weekends.
Award-winning Barney’s Steak and Seafood bucks that
trend by offering live musical performances seven nights a week.
Pianists Eric Hall and Vangie Keate perform nightly in the restaurant’s
dining room starting at 6 p.m., and Keith Minton provides upbeat,
piano-bar-style entertainment in the Atrium Lounge from Wednesday
through Saturday. Each musician plays a unique mix of cocktail
standards, oldies and show tunes, among others.
The popularity
of the restaurant’s live entertainment has been steadily building a
local crowd of regulars, especially since the lounge entertainment
program started five years ago. “When I first started performing
at Barney’s,” said Minton, “there were hardly any visitors in the
lounge. Now, it’s grown to a lounge full of regular customers
almost every night. On Friday and Saturday nights, the lounge is
full, and it’s always a blast.”
Vangie Keate, who’s been playing
in the main dining room Barney’s for two years, attributes the success
to Barney’s clientele. “The people are very friendly, appreciative and
complimentary,” she said.
Located on Colonial Drive near
downtown Orlando, Barney’s Steak & Seafood thrives in a
neighborhood that once flourished as the area’s hot spot for night
life. The restaurant, which has recently undergone a complete
interior and exterior renovation, is celebrating its 30th anniversary
this year.
“We have a fantastic base of loyal customers who have
been coming to Barney’s for years,” said Brad Dean, Barney’s
owner. “In a market with so many restaurants, we realize that our
guests have many dining choices, but our live entertainment and
comfortable atmosphere set us apart and keep them coming back to
Barney’s – two, three, even four nights a week!”
