Keys & Heels was INCREDIBLE—truly the highlight of the weekend. The Friday night DJ was perfection and set the exact vibe you want for a fun night out. The playlist was ROCKIN! It’s the perfect spot for a date night or a girls’ night on the town.

The vibe is cool, fun, and a little spunky in the best way. The staff was super nice, the bartenders were excellent, and the drinks were absolutely delicious. Truly a hidden gem.

A must-visit spot in NYC!

I've been to Keys & Heels many times and it always delivers — the drinks & bites are excellent, service is great, and the atmosphere is fantastic. I recently went for their Magic Unlocked show, and it was outstanding! Highly recommend for a great night out on the UES.

We hosted a private party at Keys & Heels, and everything was perfect. The staff was incredibly responsive and flexible during planning, and the night of the event they went above and beyond. There were plenty of staff helping with everything, the bartenders were fantastic, and the food was excellent. The space itself is beautiful and ideal for an intimate gathering. Everyone commented on how great everything was from start to finish. I’d host another event here in a heartbeat!

super cute speakeasy. I went for their magic show and really enjoyed it! Small, intimate setting. Tasty drinks. It was great to see tricks so up close and personal.

Just discovered this hidden gem on the Upper East Side — a true speakeasy with an incredible cocktail list and an unbelievably sexy vibe. Every drink was a masterpiece, the lighting and music set the perfect mood, and the whole place feels like a secret you’re lucky to know about. Definitely one of the coolest spots uptown.

Giving an extra ⭐️ for service, all thanks to Jovanya! (I hope I spelled it right!) We came in with a group of friends and the place was already heaving, but that didn't seem to phase our lovely server. She was not only knowledgeable about the menu, but also provided great entertainment with her sharp wit! Our glasses were never empty for long. Incredible service and a great night out. Cocktails, to die for. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely loved this bar, playlist and vibe! They have fun coasters, cocktails and matches!

Shoutout to Jo the server !

Especially difficult to do a walk-in even with just 2 people. Highly recommend a reservation.

Horrible. Was here for twenty minutes. Got two drinks. They charged me for ten. No way to contact them directly.

Great space with a lovely lounge and comfy seating. The cocktails were quite good, really loved that they were booze forward on the palette and not overly sweet. Definitely would recommend a visit here. Several in our group really loved the Upper East Side

酒酣时分When Wine

The drinks here are no joke—bold, intense, and full of personality. If you’re into strong cocktails with a creative twist, this is the spot.

Alter Ego is smoky and complex, while Little Pretty Psycho might just be the spiciest cocktail I’ve ever had—seriously, it’s wild.

As a speakeasy, the vibe is dark and crowded, with menus hard to read in the low light. The space feels intimate, but the live DJ keeps the music loud—so don’t expect deep conversations or a first-date-friendly setting. If you want a table, definitely book ahead.
