Keys Lounge - Portland

Good food, good drinks, and great service. This is a nice place to hangout and sit with friends and enjoy yourself. The staff has been very attentive each time I've been, even when it's busy.Food: 5/5

This was by far our favorite bar during our recent visit. We went 4 out of 5 days. The drinks and food are amazing! The popcorn and fries were our main snack but everything we got was delicious. The staff really makes this place perfect. Our first bartender, Sam, seemed like he'd always worked there. Turned out that the first night we saw him was only his 2nd day. Joel and Connor were also super friendly and remembered our group from prior visits.

I love meeting up at Keys. Used to visit as a kid when it was actually a key shop and when I saw it became a lounge I had to try it. The brussels sprouts are my favorite and the brisket sliders are delicious. The house seasoning on the fries are also really good with a nice kick to them! All the cocktails I've had have been wonderful and the bartenders know what they're doing. Secret drinks are fun!Vegetarian options: The brussels sprouts and fries are the only vegetarian items I've had off the menu and both were delicious. Seasoning on the fries is spicy if you're sensitive to that.Parking: Depends on the time of day. If it's busy around with the other businesses then there will be further parking. All parking is on the street and some of it is time limited.

The Bartenders here are great. It can get busy so be prepared to stand in line during peak times, but worth the wait. If you go when it’s not crowded, the bartenders can make drink suggestions based on your tastes and have more time to talk about the drinks they are making for you, so it’s a slightly different experience than going when it’s wall to wall people. The food is good as well, so grab something to eat while enjoying the wonder drinks.

Price: We went during happy hour, so some food and drinks were one of tan dollars discount but pricing seems fair.Food: If brussels sprouts is on the menu, you can count on me to try it. These were roasted and flavored very well. Fries were really good. Could’ve use more seasoning but ketchup helps.Service: upon entering, you go straight to the bar to order. They give you a number and you see yourself. Pretty self-explanatory. Nothing to over complicate it, they bring you your food and everything is pretty relaxed.Environment: it’s really cute in there. I hear the area that we sat at by all the records is usually the popular spot for people to hang out.NTT Next Time Try : I’m Open honestly. Everything was pretty good.Make it a great day, make good choices! xo
