Slow your Sunday right down.
On the second Sunday of each month, Funhaus Factory shifts gears and opens the doors to our Classical Piano Bar — an intimate, easy-going afternoon of live piano, good food, and time well spent, performed by accomplished Central Coast pianist Mary-Ellen Wallace.
Our space transforms into a relaxed pop-up piano bar, anchored by our beautiful baby grand and filled with some of the most beautiful piano music ever written. Expect a thoughtfully curated journey through classical and romantic piano masterpieces, impressionist works, and modern classical favourites — from composers such as Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Liszt, Brahms and Rachmaninoff, through to Satie, Einaudi and other contemporary composers.
This isn’t a stiff recital or hushed concert hall — it’s classical music in a warm, welcoming room where conversation is welcome, drinks are flowing, and the afternoon unfolds at its own pace.
Enjoy two generous live piano sets, a delicious lunch menu, great drinks (including something a little cheeky if the mood strikes), and that unmistakable Funhaus atmosphere — social, unpretentious, and full of heart.
Come with friends.
Stay for a long lunch.
Let the piano do the heavy lifting.
A thoughtful, elegant way to spend a Sunday — without the fuss.

Think flowers in your hair, plant couture, garden gnomes, paper or light up outfits and playful accessories.
