When Madison native Julie Stoleson opened the Ivory Room Piano Bar, her vision was to create a space where people could enjoy music and forget about life for a while. From the twinkling stars on the ceiling to the friendly staff and specialty cocktails, the Ivory Room is a magical place where you can enjoy piano music and even sing along with people of all ages and backgrounds.
As the owner, Stoleson wears many hats. Tuesday through Saturday nights, you may find her bartending or handling behind-the- scenes operations of the business. She does everything except play the piano, which she leaves to talented local performers.
Get ready for a high-energy musical showdown where three talented pianists battle it out on stage, playing popular hits, all while cracking jokes and engaging the crowd with hilarious banter — it’s a non-stop party where you’re the DJ, requesting the songs that get you singing and dancing all night!
