ST. LOUIS – Nestled in the heart of the city, Joe Jackson’s café has quickly become a beloved fixture in the community since its opening just half a year ago. Known for its warm atmosphere and rich coffee, the café has a beautiful piano as its centerpiece.
Jackson, a piano salesman, decided to channel his love for music into his new venture.
“The piano has been a game changer for us,” Jackson said.
With the success of the NoteWorthy Café, Jackson had an idea that could help other bars in restaurants around.

A nearby bistro, Evangelines, was one of the recipients of a piano.
The owner, Don Bailey, expressed his excitement.
“The piano creates a sense of community,” he said.
In the struggling world of bars and restaurants, many are hoping Jackson’s approach may be the key to success.
