Keys Lounge is a casual cocktail bar
inside a restored locksmith building from 1962.
Same name, same iconic KEYS sign and same storefront for over 60 years.
Food, drink, art and music. For the people.
------------------
With family history in the neighborhood dating back to the early 1962, we have witnessed the often unsettling pace of change happening around us for many years.
We believe that restoring small neglected buildings in the King neighborhod preserves a little bit of its unique history and character while providing our neighbors with a comfortable place to gather and socialize.
Keys Lounge was created by the crew from nearby Radio Room, which has served the King neighborhood for over 15 years. Much like the Radio Room building, the Keys building sat unloved and decaying for many years until we came along. With a crumbling foundation and collapsing roof, the building had long been a hazard and an eyesore to the neighborhood. We set out to save as much of the old building as possible, successfully restoring the storefront and historic signage, even repurposing some of the old locksmith contents, including many of the keys left behind.
What once were vacant and decaying buildings are now two humble monuments to neighborhood history, serving as welcoming gathering places that reflect our commitment to preservation, hospitality and our neighborhood.
