Keys Lounge

Though it's changed owners multiple times, Keys has been up and running strong since the late 1970s. It's the hole-in-the-wall blues bar always stocked with neighborhood regulars who come for cheap beer and good tunes. Currently musician-owned and -run, Keys boasts that it showcases the best talent in Fort Worth, mostly blues with occasional rock or jazz. From the Monday night acoustic session, to the Thursday through Sunday open jam, every night of the week features some type of live music. Happy hour runs daily from opening to 8 p.m. With a stage, lounge-style tables and a disco-ball dance floor, Keys operates mainly as a music venue, but offers pool in the back room as well.
