It said it was a speakeasy and the pictures reflect it, but it looked more like a club. The crowd wasn't dressed to impress. I'm sure they would be nice, but based on the lack of parking, the neighborhood, and the multiple big bodyguards we were not comfortable.

This past Saturday I had the worst experience with a group of my 15 friends that were trying to have a good time here. Incidents below are as follows. Very hostile environment by the staff, uncomfortable environment for lgbt folks.
Nobody was in the gentleman’s restroom and there was a toilet so I closed the door and used the bathroom— both of my friends were outside the door waiting for me. Security barges in, in the middle of me using the restroom and starts yelling at me saying I will be escorted out for using the restroom. I come outside and I tell him he isn’t one to tell me what my gender is and also why have a toilet if it can’t be used ? Another person can’t use the restroom with the door closed for whatever the case is? Very confusing and aggressive behavior in the way I was spoken.
After this —I go to the bar with both my friends and the bartender is being aggressive and yelling at us for our order despite the bar not being busy. Our friends look at each other for confirmation and then we all said “ah maybe she’s just stressed out” no problem.
We later come back to the same bar area to get another round of drinks and the bartender proceeds to yell at us angrily and throwing her hands up for our order. The 2 guys waiting for their next turn even looked at us in disbelief that she was talking to us like that. Once she finished making the drinks she takes the tab and literally throws it at me on the counter …. At this point I don’t even wanna tip her. I gave my friend my receipt for him to tip and sign because I was furious that everyone was treating us disrespectfully.
We grab our drinks and we start making our way to the patio where we had a table with more friends. A bottle service guy bumps my friend and spills her drink on her hand, so I reached to grab a napkin from the table he was setting . This person snatched the napkin out of my hand and yells at me saying “YOU CANT TAKE THIS NAPKIN!” — “WHATS GONNA HAPPEN NOW IS AMA HAVE TO THROW EVERYTHING AWAY CUS YOU TOUCHED IT” … my friend was so uncomfortable because her drink was spilled by HIM all over her hand. Took the already touched single napkin out of my hand and threw it away.
At this point we decided to leave and take our party elsewhere. Why keep spending our money in an establishment that is very unwelcoming and unsafe. Never coming back to lock n key.

I'll keep it short people, some nights are a hit or miss depending on the mission. The crowd is cool, the security is respectful, music played is usually hip hop all gen. Bartenders are very attentive. Over all good vibes parking depends

Parking is not easy, ride share suggested. No cover the times I went. Bag checks. The space is reasonable. With cute key deco wall. Outside section for fresh air but gets crowded. Watch you step. The service is fine helpful friendly. Roughly 20 dollar shots and drinks. Though I wonder if drinks are semi water down. Been a few times DJ today hip hop and rnb.

I visited this venue on July 12, 2025, around 12:10 AM PDT to meet my friends who were already seated at our table. As I arrived, one of my friends came out to greet me and assist in finding the table. However, I was stopped at the front entrance because I was wearing Hermes Oz mule loafers. While I understand that some venues have dress codes, I found it surprising since my shoes were clean, professional, and elegant. Additionally, I noticed other guests wearing open-back summer sandals, which made the enforcement feel inconsistent. I hope the management can clarify their dress code policies to ensure they are applied fairly and clearly to all guests as the front door lady was apparently being racist.
Nice hip place. Great drinks. Very loud live music, not the best for conversation

We had a really disappointing experience with the bartender. The place was nearly empty when we arrived, yet the bartender lady was rude. We ordered two drinks but were brought three without explanation and were irritated. When we asked for the tab, we were given a bill with no itemized breakdown, which felt shady especially considering the high prices. The drinks werent even good, so we just left it. won’t be returning.

Went on a Saturday night around 10pm. The DJ was great and played classic early 2000s hip hop! The bartender was a bit slow and not very attentive. The drinks were strong but not tasteful. We were early enough to get a table with sitting room, but the crowd doesn’t really come in until 12:30am.
