“OMG LOVEEEE it here. Was looking for a place for post dinner on the E side and found Keys and Heels. Such a vibe wow!!! Place was absolutely packed and everyone was having a great time. Without a reservation it is standing room only but with their playlist it was better to stand/dance!! Drinks were on point and delish! Absolutely will be returning!”
“💯💯💯💯💯 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.”
“Love this place so much — easy 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keys & Heels is hands down one of the chicest, most special spots in the neighborhood. From the moment you walk in, the speakeasy vibe just hits — moody, stylish, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The cocktails are so good (like, the kind you think about days later), and the music is always on point — fun, energetic, but still perfect for actually talking and enjoying the night. The staff truly make it though. They’re welcoming, fun, and somehow always know how to read the room. Whether you’re there for a casual drink or celebrating something big, they make it feel like an occasion. The crowd is great too — it’s the kind of place where you actually meet interesting, friendly people. This place means even more to me personally because I met my fiancé here on our first date 🥹 We’ve come back over the years to celebrate promotions, new jobs, and big life moments, and they’ve always made those nights feel extra special. Recently, they even let us take some engagement photos there, which meant the world to us. Having those memories tied to a place that’s already such a part of our story is something we’ll treasure forever. If you want incredible drinks, amazing energy, and a place that feels both cool and meaningful, Keys & Heels is it. Could not recommend more.”
“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!”
“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.”
