Editorial Review for Key Bar – by Chip Rankin
In Short
Hip but relaxed professionals, downtown residents and students unwind and observe the pedestrian traffic flowing up and down the street. With its crisp design, open space and cool blue and green hues, the laid-back venue and its outdoor lounge and cozy rock garden act as an oasis in an increasingly urban neighborhood. Patrons imbibe bottled beer and mixed drinks like the signature Popsicle martini-vodka-infused fresh-squeezed juice finished with made-fresh raspberry, mint or pineapple-ginger popsicles.
