TEMPE, AZ — After 12 years on Mill Avenue, Low Key Piano Bar in Tempe is closing its doors for good.

The announcement was made on August 5, confirming that the weekend would be their final one in operation.

After 12+ unforgettable years on Mill Ave, it’s time for us to play our final song.

Low Key has been so much more than a piano bar. It’s been a place where strangers became friends, birthdays turned into traditions, celebrations became unforgettable memories, and thousands of voices came together around the piano night after night.

To every guest who ever requested a song, sang at the top of their lungs, celebrated with us, tipped our entertainers, or simply walked through our doors… thank you. You gave this place its soul.

This weekend will be our final weekend. If Low Key has ever been a part of your story, we’d love the chance to see you one last time. Let’s fill the room, sing every chorus a little louder, raise one last toast, and give this place the farewell it deserves.

From the bottom of our hearts…
Thank you for 12+ incredible years.

One last weekend. One last song. One last chance to make a memory.

The owner says a combination of rising rent and declining sales made it too difficult to keep the business open.

Locals say the closure is part of a larger trend of constant turnover for businesses in the downtown area.
