"Very chilled unpretentious place with very chilled staff and patrons, cold beers and great platters on offer. Recommend the shisanyama platter and spicy wings. Only problem in the area is parking, you're forced to park on the street where you will more than often get a parking ticket from the overzealous metro police in the area. Other than that, this is a great place to unwind and have a few drinks."

"I love the couches, very comfy. Went there on a not-so-busy day so it wasn't crowded. However, they've got no DJ so the music isn't tops. Food is good."

"Two words HAPPY HOUR! I usually visit on either a Friday or Saturday night which is usually packed. If you want a place to let your hair down and have a few drinks, then KEYS is it on a weekend evening."
