SO MUCH FUN! Great spot to bring a group of friends or just go to listen to really great live music. There is an extensive drink menu with really great cocktails to choose from. You can get service standing at the bar or you can get a table with a waiter. I cant think of anywhere else in Boston where you can hear live music like that or get to just request songs, sing and drink all night. The building is brand new and pretty. There is plenty of street parking thats free after 8pm and theres a parking lot literally right across the street. Its a very low-stress place to get to if youre not from around Boston. Such a great time!

Bartender and coat rack people were nice but some of the workers were rude. Some threatened to kick us out for dancing near the stage or taking heels off for a moment and were not nice about it whatsoever. Piano man called me out in front of entire venue at a work party lol.I’ll stick to howl at the moon!

Celebrated my 30th birthday this past Saturday at Ds Keys. Had a great time with ~20 friends and they gave us the perfect seats (front of the house, but on the side where we could get up a little bit and dance a little bit and I could move around and talk to the different people in the group). That was perfect for us! The only reason I gave 4 starts instead of 5 was for the table service. The waitress couldnt keep up with all the tables she had. We waited an unreasonable time to get drinks from her and then when we got tired of that, some of our party would go to the bar instead to grab a drink. When we did that, the waitress actually came up to us at the bar and asked us to order from her. That felt awkward. We honestly would have ordered from her if it wasnt so slow. Other than the slow drink service in the beginning of the night at the tables, we had a great time and all the performers and other folks that worked there made my birthday amazing!

I booked a table here for a bachelorette party, and the group had an awesome time! We got there right before the show started and it was fairly empty, but the place filled up fast and had a great crowd and atmosphere. Servers take orders and bring drinks right to the tables which is super convenient. Really fun place, and will go again!

We went tonight(8/02/19)The cover charge alone was $5 per person, there was no wait, so we sat down immediately and after we were served our drinks, we waited 15 minutes, if not more, before waving some one else down after our drinks and waters were empty because the waitress was playing on her phone. Not acceptable... we were left unattended for more than 15 minutes while the place was NOT busy.To top it off we showed up to our 9:15 reservation early, sang along and participated more than anyone else in the crowd and was told by the female player around midnight that our request with a $5 tip was not good enough because she just played the song..... we had been there all night and she was LYING. To me, the female player and service explain for themselves and I’ll never go back. Do not waste your time and money if I we’re you. Not worth it.

The talent there starts and ends with the musicians. The bartender was both rude and diminutive. And then the main male piano player berated my group because we were too close to the speaker; hes a talent but I wouldnt nominate him to host the Oscars anytime soon. The main female piano player was a joy to listen to though!

It was so good, our out-of-town team went two nights in a row. For the locals it was a great discovery. We had so much fun. Great energy, atmosphere and music - and they serve beer - whats not to love.

We went at 9:30pm on a Friday and it was pretty dead. It did seem to fill up a bit by the time we left. Musicians are great but don’t expect much from the drinks list.

Review №12

Ill start by saying the musicians were all great! The place was pretty dead when we went on Saturday night, and my group requested a song (along with giving $10).When the musicians started playing our request, we got up and started dancing, and a staff member quickly came over and asked us to sit because we were blocking a few people sitting further back in the bar (on a different level). He was respectful when asking, but it just seemed weird to me (there were maybe 15 people in there total).Last call was at 1:20am, and the musicians finished at 1:30am. As soon as the musicians finished, that same staff member came up to us and said the place is closing in five minutes.Overall, the music was good, but we didnt feel welcomed there.

Such a fun venue!! however, we sat in the front for a bday and were told to sit down the WHOLE time- aka not fun if you’re looking to celebrate. I would say sit on in the back or on the ends if you wanna get up and have fun. Or be boring and be forced to sit in the front

An absolute blast. Way more than dueling pianos. Talented musicians playing guitars, drums, singing, roasting people. A really different fun night out.

Best random Friday night Ive discovered all year. Incredible piano/guitar/singing. Hilarious. Also, for all that is good and holy in this world, please dont request A Thousand Miles.

Saw this placw on Groupon and decided to give it a try with some friends. One of the most enjoyable nights out I’ve had in a while! The musicians had a great sense of humor and almost inexhaustible repertoire. They were all fantastic performers and the night just flew by. Would certainly go back soon.

Wow. What a mistake. Wasnt expecting much, and they still found a way to disappoint. Every time u breathe, someone is asking for $10. You wanna hear average music combined with a below average environment, this is the spot. Waitress was a sweetheart. I wish google had a zero star option.

Showed up to D’s Keys late on a Wednesday night just as they were about to close up shop. It was a friend’s birthday and we were visiting from California so they graciously stayed open just for us for an extra 2 hours!!! They are so talented and provided my buzzed posse and me with endless entertainment and a customized experience we will truly never forget. I’ve already told all my friends who live in Boston about this gem of a joint! Would love to come back on another visit. Bonus: pickleback shots!! Make sure to check out the shots menu!

Review №27

What a sad crowd, they wont be in business for long. The place was empty...Horrible singing and they dont play the songs you request after you leave them $10 to play a crowd favorite from Journey or Queen.. reason being...the need to wait for drunker people to show up to sing to said songs....its only been over an hour and a half.Update: we were approached by the owner saying that our review was not justified and that this review was poorly written, mentioning that since he owns three other venues, he clearly knows what is best..then we were forced out out of the establishment because of our reviews.I would highly recommend NOT going here. Not only a waste of time but you will deal with rude management.

Came to Boston from Connecticut to visit my friends from school and this clearly new door guy took my other out of state friend and mines REAL license and bent it with the power of Thanos, completely creasing my only official form of ID (note: Im 23 with a full goatee). He then threatened to cut them so we threatened to call the police, took them, then left. This door guy says hes practiced on over 200 licenses and then goes over and tries to scan our licences on a $0.99 iPhone app. I love the location in Providence but I dont think Ill be coming back to these bars.
