Lock & Key

Overall good experience. Music was great really liked the songs. Throwbacks and variety. Drinks were good. Staff were also nice. The vibes are good inside. Line on the weekend is insanely long unless u know someone or willing to pay. If willing to purchase punch bowl they were would let you in sooner. No cover charge. Wait was over an hour. Get pat down on the way in after ID check. Wait to drink can be long but be patient and nice to bartenders. There is a Bar inside and at the outside area. Crowd was mixed and overall chill 20-30s. Friendly people. Carl Sagan drink was lit. Cocktails around $15 if I remember correctly Lady outside selling hotdogs takes Zelle or Venmo.

Second time coming here. Both times the drinks were great. The second time I encountered a server (male w/ longer hair wearing glasses 5:26) that was really rude. The margarita pizza is really good. Everyone one else was kind except the one server.

I used to go here in college and it felt cool and trendy then. Now, with the continued hip hop focus, the crowd has gotten a bit older as well. They hold the line when it’s empty, looking for simps to bribe their way in. Still, better than most bars.

Went on a week day (Wednesday)and the crowd wasn’t as packed as I heard it is on the weekend which is good. It’s hidden inside a cute ton of doors with locks on them, almost speak easy vibes but the inside is way bigger than you’d think. The cocktails were well crafted and the dj was spinning up a variety of throwback jams, really cool spots

First time at a bar in LA and I had a great time! I went in early so it wasn’t too busy. I ordered a Santa Monica head in the clouds and it was strong and tasted good.

First time here and loved it. The vibes and atmosphere were great. Good taste in music, there was a mix of everything. Staff were friendly and great service. I sat at the bar, since it was cold outside and didn’t want to stand in the dancing floor. Definitely would return next time I’m back in town.

The wait to get inside Saturday night was ridiculous. Took us an hour and a half arriving at 10:30. There was no entry cost. Definitely getting in faster if you bring more women but the bouncers are cool and once you get inside there's a bar area with bathrooms on the right and the far back which has an outside area where all the action is. Couldn't move while there most of the time. They let in a solid amount of women over guys so the ratio is straight. A great place to visit for my first time in LA

This place is pretty awesome! There’s a live DJ, great bartenders, and a chill vibe overall. The decor at this place is pretty dope too. Overall it is a fun place to be at. If you like to have a blast then go to Lock & Key. It is like a speakeasy, so getting in is a riddle, which is pretty cool tbh.
