    Outstanding venue, with a perfect balance of old school bowling alley vibes, retro games, pool tables and entertainment offerings. With elevated pub grub and a truly excellent drinks selection, The Keys is made for many occasion, or just a little bit of fun!

    loved the whole experience for start to finish. Such a great place to hang with my family for a laugh & bowl. We will be back. P.S all the staff were so friendly.

    The Keys was full of customers on the night I attended. The bar code food ordering system on each table crashed and patrons could only order food at the bar. There was only one person working at the inside bar whilst there were three working at the outside bar. We were told at 8pm any food order we placed will take one hour to arrive. We chose to leave and eat elsewhere. The Keys needs to sort this problem out so it does not become a common occurence.

    Over all a great place, really need to work on their customer service skills though and relook at their pricing structure overall. Couldn’t justify $40 pp per game of bowling either
