Pitcher and Piano

Exited

In 1986 Piper developed a new bar concept called Pitcher and Piano. This was the first bar chain to focus on the female customer and truly understand the motivations of the majority of young people who go out for a drink. It heralded a new breed of bars and restaurants that disrupted the old fashioned pubs and wine bars that had dominated the market.

This start up from Piper was the catalyst that led the business to raise its first fund in the late 1980s to help support the expansion and roll out of Pitcher & Piano.
