Library Lounge-Truman Hotel

This would be the first piano bar that I have been to, but from the looks of it I really enjoy the setup. The lights have been dimmed down and the room is small enough to give you a pleasant, laid back feeling. If you want to get away one night and come somewhere to smoke your pipe, have a drink, and sit to listen to some good piano music then I suggest you come here.

Jefferson  City despite being the State Capital is not exactly a booming metropolis.  People with mental health problems should avoid it or at least double up on your Prozac dosage before passing through. Don't ask me how I managed to wind up in this place not once but twice..10 years apart.  The same guy was playing piano both times! He hadn't  changed the order of his repertoire..or his clothes. Not withstanding its rumpled left over from 70s atmosphere, this down on its luck hotel cocktail lounge (don't even think of staying here) manages to attract an SRO mix of farm belt state legislators and the local insurance salesman scamming on the local maiden lady school teachers. I cannot begin to tell you what a depressing spot this is...the only problem is there are only 2 other places in town to get a drink and if you don't belong to the VFW or the American Legion....then this is it. To add insult to injury I ordered a martini...Yuck!  If you find yourself in this sorry burg, stick with draft beer and get back to the Holiday Inn Express as quick as you can or better yet buy a six pack at the gas station and watch wrestling in your room.
