About Us

Welcome to Derby's newest Piano bar and restaurant. We are a stylish and chic bar with quality food and live music. Hidden away from the main stretch you will find Vie Lounge (Vie as in the French for ‘life') next door to the old Debenhams store on Victoria Street formally known as Ranby's Bar. With a very warm and friendly atmosphere, Vie lounge's plush lounge area provides an intimate setting to enjoy a meal or just a glass or two of wine.

Vie lounge also has a distinctive Jazz feel with its various iconic jazz prints and large wall mural. Customers comment that it resembles ‘Ronnie Scott's bar in London' and ‘a New York Jazz Bar. We offer a warm inviting environment suitable for any occasion, whether you want a quick light lunch whilst on your break, a place to entertain clients, enjoy a glass or two of quality wines from an extensive range of new and old world wines or enjoy exciting cocktails with friends . The restaurant and bar takes private party bookings and it's a great place for conferences or meetings too.

Music is a big part of Vie lounge with open mic nights every Thursday and live music every Friday and Saturday evening until late. Vie lounge gives a unique opportunity for local up and coming talented musicians to showcase their talents on a stage that features a Yamaha Clavinova Baby Grand piano as well as drums, bass and others. If you enjoy live music including jazz and sax, Vie lounge is the place to be Thursdays through to Saturday !!
