Just Uber eats a margherita pizza and I definitely feel like this is a regular cheese with basil plus a side of pepper flakes and Parmesan. It could be me.

The speakeasy place is next to a pizza front. The entrance is really cool with lots of door handles on the wall. Inside, it felt cozy and cool vibes. Very dim lighting. There's an outside patio that's really cool. I would recommend this place for date nights or group hangs. It'll be a fun night out.

Bouncers really bring Lock & key down. Terrible service and rude to everyone in line. The venue is cute overall inside, a bit small. The 5’7 white bouncer guy with the sport clips haircut was on a power trip with this little clipboard telling me to leave after I had waited 45 min in the line. The tall chubby latino man was picking favors one sided of the line and ignored most people. If you want your night to be ruined before even entering the club then this is the place. Just go somewhere else honestly. 0/10 experience.

Security had people behind us go in and asked where my hug at from women behind us before letting them in. Then asked us after waiting 20 minutes if he could help us and asked why we were in the vip section when he saw us pull our ids out. Really could have said something before letting us wait 20 minutes but go off.

The drinks and service are amazing! Young crowd but well worth it. Music is solid. Can be packed Friday and Saturday evenings. Respect the dress code ! Shoutout to Dyyo, that young man knows a craft cocktail!

My friend was drugged here potentially with blue fentanyl. Her wallet was stolen and she was so sick she could have died. No one at the bar will return her calls to take any type of incident report.
I waited over 30 minutes at the table—this doesn’t even count the wait outside. They asked us to order our bottle before entering, so we picked a cheaper one ($500). After some time, they told us it was out of stock and only had the $700-$800 options. Then they suddenly said they actually had the $500 bottle, but we never received it.
When I spoke to the manager, who had an attitude like he thought he was Ken from Barbie, it just added to the frustration. I tried to explain the situation, asking him not to take it personally since we were just there to have a good time. Instead of engaging, he closed the curtains in my face and walked away.
At that point, we decided to leave and won’t be coming back.

Good Vibes small outside area the only this is that the dj refused to play new songs this time.
Very cool place! The drinks were refreshing and very pretty. The Sicilian pepperoni pizza and fries were perfect!

Got told i cant wear sandals because of the owner being “sued” for girls getting cut by GLASS at the establishment. Instead of fixing the issue he put a rule out about sandals. Their patio has hole so DONT WEAR ANYTHING BUT A WEDGE otherwise your shoe will be ruined.
Horrible experience. We had reservations at LA Prime. We stopped by Vons to get my girl a tide pen for a stain on her white dress. We saw lock and key and figured we could kill 30 min of time by having a drink.
At 4pm the valet literally chased us down from Vons (across the street) and demanded $25 for us to spend 30 min at Lock and Key. I told him I had a receipt from Vons and I was just grabbing a quick drink; I had heard about this place pre Covid. He said he would call the tow truck and if we didn’t have money to stay inside. This short chubby Latino guy was very rude to us. The worst thing is he tried to argue with my girl and cussed at her.
Obviously we didn’t stay. We came to LA prime and now we are enjoying a view.

Went for the first time a few weeks ago! We were initially turned away because I had open toed shoes, but when we returned, the kind bouncer rectified the situation by letting us expedite the line and even gave us drink tickets. The atmosphere is great, the music is great, the community is awesome, and the bartenders are nice too! I believe her name was Ornella, or something along the lines of that, she was super friendly And is great at her job! We will definitely be back

Always lit!! Music is usually fire. The people at the door can be rude and make you wait for no reason.
