What People Are Saying About Key Club

Featured Review

In Short – The Key Club fits the bill of a typical Sunset Strip venue, featuring nice decor that's short of fancy or opulent and a staff of headset-clad security personnel with unresolved anger issues. This is a great place to see bands, though, since the sound is excellent and the room design gives everyone a good view of the stage. If you're just there to hang out on the Strip, head to the downstairs room. Depending on the night, you might or might not get in, but it's a much more relaxed vibe--and there's food service if you're hungry. Two groups of people end up here. One is the…

Watch out for the thug with the neck tat

by PeteyK

Last night I was there at an event for Raw Artist. I was super excited as many people I knew where there too except it was ruined by one person. I didn't get his name but it was some thug looking dude who apparently works there, he has a neck tattoo.

For some unknown reason, he kept trying to extort $50 for my friends and I. One of my friends was at his art booth and he was told he couldn't sit there unless he gave him $50. My friend had his RAW ARTIST ID/PIN on him. He came up to him twice.

When I was on the center area to photograph my friends fashion show case, the same thug came up and told me I had to pay him $50 to photograph there?

When my female photographer friend arrived she was going to join me to photograph the showcase, he said there was a weight limit! Seriously dude?

What the hell? I'm not coming back to this place again.

Back in the day...

by Kika Davis 2

Back in high school, I use to come to the strip to catch my favorite band, the Waking Hours, and of course they played the Key Club on a monthly basis, so the venue has a special place in my heart. However, the last time I went to the Key Club was four years ago, and that's only because Digital Underground was playing with Tone Loc and Coolio (no way I was passing that up). Generally, they don't have the bands and artists I'm interested in seeing, and I tend to see a lot of "club" nights there (strobe lights really aren't my thing). If you want good music, I suggest going next door to the Roxy or straight down Doheny to the Troubadour.

good place to meet hotties!

by Sammi J

Low key but hot! This is one of those places you don’t know how much you need to be there, till you GET there. The drinks were great(strong), service was fab(fast and friendly), and we will definitely be back! It helps that I have a buddy that does promo though… He got us in with no wait, great table and again, great service! Give him a shout at hwguestlist@gmail. He can hook you up with VIP treatment, parties, bottle service. Whatever you need, the night is a party you DON'T forget!
