Fringe favourite, Lola's Piano bar returns to The Rocks for a season of cabaret carnage! Piano man and cabaret star Trevor Jones will be gracing Sydney with his musical superpowers all month (!) alongside a hand-picked selection of Sydney's finest voices. You can find us in our new, beautiful lair by the water, where the lights are dim, but people shine brightly.
Lola always hosts the greatest party. It's... A whole new world, where girls just wanna have fun and boys don't cry. Where life is a cabaret, and you do not have to fight for your right to party. So, come as you are and join us to get drunk in love.
