Key Bar

This was one of the most fun bars we went to during our Bachelorette trip to Austin. The DJ was awesome and he had the best time dancing! It was a little crammed for a big group but if a bar is busy on a weekend, it's a good sign. They had water for everyone which was so nice especially since it was so hot. We stayed here for a few hours just dancing the night away and it was so fun! The DJ had the best transitions from song to song which sounds easy but it's hard to do. Whatever DJ was working on 6/17/23 did a great job. We had so much fun. Next time I am in Austin, I would totally go back here!

Tony the manager made it so easy to get my phone back even when it was closed. A true legend.

Idk where my phone was left ln at the bar , but someone called end of the night and i got it back next day which is 5/5 stars anywhere but especially bc i recently went on best trip of my life n woulda lost a lot of the pics / vids potentially. Thank y'all fr!

Worst DJ I've ever heard. 5/26; what the freak was that! Usually a good bar but please don't ever hire this DJ again

My husband and I were visiting Austin on Halloween weekend. We wanted to explore the city and decided to take a walk down sixth Street. The area was very busy due to the holiday weekend. The Key Bar was not too crowded and had a great DJ playing so we decided to go in. The door guy was friendly and welcomed us in. (We didn't catch his name.) We decided to head to the bar area. When we sat down and immediately were greater by the staff. The bartender Zoe was friendly and fun. She got our drinks quickly and also attended to the other guests pretty quick. That night there was also another bartender Chris that was chatty and fun. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. The green tea shot was delicious. Combined with the great music and fun vibe we had a great time. The bar also has a food truck attached that has some really yummy sliders. We had the grilled chicken. They were amazing. We came back again a couple of nights later as well and

had the same experience. If you are in downtown Austin and want to visit a great bar definitely come here. We highly recommend.

I asked the bartender for a water and she serves me a legit glass with iced water and then points to a water dispenser with plastic cups and lets me know that, next time, I can just get water from there -- she didn't have to serve me a whole water -- all she had to do was point me to the water jug, but she decided to serve me anyways. A+ service

Key bar is always a great venue for sxsw events. Great outdoor bar and seating area. Would I come here on a normal night out? I'm not too sure. It had the potential to be fairly "bro"-esque because of its location. It is nicer and cleaner than most bars in Austin. If that's your scene, you'll love it!

My host bro in Buda is a Washington State University Alumni, with the rest of us University of Washington Alumni. Yet we set out to find a Cougar-friendly bar, take that however you want, for the game on Saturday, October 12th.

The Key Bar was advertised as WSU host bar. So ... we rolled up there to support the other Washington University. The bar had a separate attached room for us which was nice for everyone as I assumed every other patron was a Texas fan of some sort.

The service was pleasant. I drank Shiner all damn day... when in Texas, ya know. The $5 chili cheese hotdog was sufficient to keep me from avoiding a complete liquid diet.

The bartenders were super chill, efficient, and friendly - props to them.

We had asked a local from Austin where to go for drinks and she suggested Key Bar. Great recommendation! I loved the HUGE outdoor patio. Someone else said that cute guys with puppies go to Key Bar and I must laugh because there were cute guys with dogs (not puppies) there!

The drinks were fine. We did not have food. I'm really rating the bar on the service. We had the most friendly bartender. She gave us lots of great recommendations on places to eat and drink while we were visiting.

Stop by!

A nice looking setting, but overall it wasn't my scene.

They have beautiful chairs surrounding a fire pit. Flat screen televisions. A sleek looking bar. All great stuff.

The crowd though was rather boring. Compared to some of the other bars in the vicinity this one was middle of the road. It's not the god awful crowd that's in some of them, but it's not as fun as some other either.

Might be a night by night basis.
