Was Jeremy Yowell at Key a mag?
I only got the chance to enjoy the outdoor area of Key Bar for one round of drinks, but overall it was a pleasant experience. While I probably wouldn't make it a priority to return next time I'm in Austin, it was a nice place to stop for a drink. View all feedback.
What Aiyana Schuster dislikes about Key:
Terrible service, unprofessional check-ins, and a rude attitude. It was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn’t recommend visiting. You're better off elsewhere. Good luck! View all feedback.

We didn’t go in at 1:39 because they said they were “closing soon.”
Stopped by there and have a couple of drinks me and my wife before we went to meet up with some friends. It's been awhile since I've been to West 6th Street nice patio good drinks happy hour was good. Definitely going to try to make it back
Would love to give a half star or even a 0 since the bartender charged me 3x in the amount of $30 for what I ordered. I assumed some places leave your tab open, which I didn’t, to make sure you have sufficient funds. However, they swiped my card and even tipped themselves with each transaction! Tried contacting them multiple way via social media and the number they have on don’t work and us always giving the busy signal.
Love this bar! Great comedy night!The bartender is a babe!

My absolute favorite drink was the La Sancha (bottom), which tastes just like a spiked Starbucks Hibiscus drink! The chips and salsa were also amazing—so good that I'm pretty sure we tried to sneak some chips to go! The bartenders were incredibly friendly, and I loved the overall ambiance of the place.
This place is USC-friendly on a UT home game day—thank you for that! I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the Moscow mules could use some improvement. However, the drink prices are reasonable, and the outdoor bar has fans, which is a nice touch!
This place was a pleasant surprise. We were heading to a different bar and ended going here instead because it caught our eye. I am only giving them four stars because I did not try their cocktails and tried the local beers on tap. The bar tender was really awesome and gave us tips on where to eat as we were visiting from out of town.
