Key Bar — Restaurant in Austin

The bar was empty/dead, me and my friend group of 10 people were on an 80s themed bar crawl, all dressed up in bright neon, we went to the bar and started dancing outside when there was no one really dancing and hardly any people, then after 20-30 minutes more and more people kept coming in joining us and the bar got packed. Every 5 minutes dif people were coming in to dance with us complimenting our outfits and asking what we were doing. We had locked our bikes up on the fence outside of the bar, there are NO signs saying not to do that anywhere. While dancing we noticed a lady going up and taking pictures of every single bike, we asked her why she was taking those pictures, she lied and said she was “starting her own bike business.” 5 minutes later we were all asked to move our bikes and that we can’t lock them on the sidewalk/fence. They were not in anyone’s way, we were all by them the entire time, and like I said there was zero signage saying we couldn’t. Every other bar we visited on the crawl (9 other spots) allowed us to lock our bikes up on their fences. It felt like the bar was empty and people kept coming in because we were the first and only group dancing. They were fine with us being there when it was empty, but after we got there and got the party started once it was packed suddenly it wasn’t okay anymore? Also who was that weirdo lady taking the pics of our bikes? We absolutely will never go back and do not recommend in the slightest. Trash atmosphere, trash customer service, and overall weird behavior between that weird lady and...

I have never once written a bad review on here, but this one took the cake. One of our party had gum at the bottom of his glass. We were not being rude, but wanted them to know so it wouldn't happen to the next guest. A female bartender with blond curly hair (I believe her name was Amanda or Mandy) said, "I don't care. What do you want me to do about it?" I looked at her blankly and said, "Did you just say that?" She said, "Yes." This went back and forth a few times before she walked away after telling me she was the manager. Another bartender offered to yell at her, but honestly by that point, I didn't care. He offered a drink, but I didn't want that, I just wanted to let them know.

The problem is, if some of their staff doesn't care about such things, why would customers want to visit this establishment? None of us were asking for handouts, we were doing a nice thing. I suggest if this bar wants to stay in business, they should have a conversation with the staff members about behavior toward it's customers. I live in Austin and entertain a large number of out of town guests, and this bar lost...

the bartender tipped themself more then i had put down, me and my friends when out to the key bar on the weekend, and we where all paying for each other drinks. My bill was $49 and i gave the a $1 tip to make it $50. the bartender gave himself a $10 tip to make it $59. when my friend had gotten drinks she had gotten a $39 bill, my friend had put a $10, to make it $49. but the bartender put a$30 tip for himself, to make that a $69 bill in total. We had other friends who where putting bigger tips. so he didnt mess with there stuff and put bigger tips. Im just hear to say if you go here make sure to watch your bank accnt. and get a receipt as soon as i tip the tip he took the bill and never gave me my receipt and i didnt think anything of it. so that was on me. i did nt have a bad time there the issue i have is putting a bigger tip on something that wasnt supposed to be big. (in total me and my friends had spend over $100 on drinks, and only two of my friends didnt drink because they wanted to make sure we...
