About this business

When the KEYBAR with it's FIREPLACE opened it's doors in October 2002, it quickly became a local favorite.

Bar? anyone – I don't like bars. I find the false cheer and immodest prices to be a bit of a bore. Call me a misanthrope, but I hate standing around making bad conversation with drunk people. It is rare to find me in one, and even rarer for me to enjoy it. Which makes my love of Keybar all the more unusual. The place is full of generally interesting people. The set up could not get more eclectic. But my absolute favourite part of the Key experience are the jams on Friday and Saturday nights. It is one of the coolest and leas... read more

Best Neighborhood Bar... Even If It's Not Your Neighborhood! – Keybar is pretty much my favorite bar in the world. The bartenders are amazing, the music is live and different every night (Fridays always 70s/80s/90s, Saturdays always House), the drinks are great, and the crowd has some of the most interesting people I've met in New York. Weekends at Keybar are busy yet cool, but the other 5 nights of the week is when Keybar is an intimate lounge where one can meet new people, take a date, or just chill and enjoy being alive i... read more

AWESOME – KeyBar is an awesome place. They have great drink specials if you get there before 10 and they have a nice selection of very tasty shots. Met some cool people when I was there and the bartenders were top notch. Will definitely be back

WORST bar I've ever been to – This bar is full of people who like to talk about themselves. The service is horrible. The drinks are overpriced and disgusting. NEVER GO HERE. 

Business response:

We all have the right to form our own opinion. I can not stand self-absorbed people either, but we are all different and that is the beauty of life. Probably you arrived after 10pm because we have a 2for1 happy hour on any kind of drinks till 10pm every day, which is the best deal in the neighborhood. I m sorry if you experienced "horrible" service, it is not our goal to provide that. After all, every feedback is good to have to know what to improve. I'll do what I can. Thanks Owner Gyuszi

Great place – Every time I've been here has been a guaranteed great time. The owners, bartenders, and crowd are very friendly. Always great music and cheap drinks. Especially loved the Wednesday 80's/new wave/rock and house mix party.

happy hour... – went out there friday right after work, it was empty...but that would soon change. the bartender was friendly, answered our questions and make some strong drinks. after abouyt a half hour, more people began to trickle in, it was a chill crowd, they play good music, but its not so loud that you can't have a conversation with someone. i really had a good time here, its a great happy hour spot...and the 2for1 drinks go till 10..whats not to like?
