Waited 15 minutes for a server to greet us while the restaurant was filled with maybe 4 or 5 tables. Finally greeted and placed drink orders and didn’t see the server for a good 20 minutes so we honestly just left. It was my first time there and I was really excited based off of all the attractions but was sadly disappointed. May try brunch, but not sure yet at this point. Definitely seemed like there was not an ounce of organization there.

Found this place via Instagram! The atmosphere has a great welcoming vibe for anyone that wants to hang out, enjoy their games, pool table and fantastic art walls.However, I do have to say that this place is run very poorly in terms of management. The bartenders are clueless when it comes to the alcoholic beverages. Not sure who came up with the mixes of drinks but some are just awful in flavor and way too overpriced for the size of the glass. It’s also hard to recognize who works there and who is another customer as they have no dress code. Kind of awkward to get served food by a random person that doesn’t look like waitress/waiter.The worst part of this place is the so called SECURITY staff. They are a HUGE liability and a lawsuit waiting to happen. I witness one of them being aggressive to a guy at the front desk for no reason during a private event. A few days later, there was another security staff smoking weed in the outside patio, then got in his car and drove off. Dude could not wait until getting home to lit one.Food can be a hit or miss but they do have some tasty dishes that I like to try every time I eat there. Just don’t forget to bring a card for any transaction as they DO NOT take cash on the premises.Finally, they should check ID’s after 7-8pm since the last few times I was there trying to have some fun, there were a bunch of kids running around acting up while their parents were drinking. Didn’t know this was a daycare for all the trash people that cannot find someone to babysit for the night. This ruins the night for everyone and can create fights among patrons.This place is gem in the rough. JUST organize your staff, hire more people that actually like to be in the food business, get rid of the unnecessary security thugs (only hire them for events), and let people know that the 20% gratuity is NOT optional so I can tip my server a bit more after a good service.

The food is TERRIBLE . The pictures definitely fool you the food was not seasoned extremely bland they did not even use salt and pepper . We ordered a burger , fish and chips, flatbread pizza and queso and chips. We left it all. The drinks were just drinks with a lazy shake. The waiter was very nice. , The place visually is a nice vibe.

Tears and Beers event appears to be just another way for the wannabe emo Jake Paul kid aka Josiah to charge money so he can continue to fake it till he makes it. Shame on The Kee for falling into his trap. Event should’ve been called Fakes and Wannabe Jakes.

I was looking forward to trying this place. But unfortunately it was not the best. The food was extremely bland . We ordered a burger, flatbread pizza, fish and chips and queso dip with chips. It all was terrible to the point we left the food there barely touched. The drinks were just drinks not shaken or mixed very well. I will not be returning or recommending.

Super fun place to visit with the ladies. Great vibe. Amazing drinks. TERRIBLE service. I have gone 2 times and both times were awful attentiveness to our small group. Unfortunately we found out after the check was delivered that an automatic 20% gratuity was added to our tab-sometimes automatic gratuity is not earned.

Unique experience. An adult playground with games, multiple bars and great atmosphere. The perfect place to host a corporate event or one of a kind wedding experience.

I recently visited The Kee for a family dinner. This modern brick structure provides quite of few entertainment. This chic eclectic spot caters to a diverse crowd. You may enjoy some outdoor fun within The Kee. When you enter to the left there is a serene area to dine, drink, and play corn hole in style. The bar to the left of this area, is heavenly. To the right, a small art gallery. As you make your way to the reserve dining (required) there are a few pool tables, and other digital games. The large chess game is a nice touch. The pastel color dining area is welcomely soft. The dining area is dimly decorated with plush furniture, and a nice size bar just a few feet away. Throughout the interior of The Kee there are various works of art. Cool crowd. Nice drinks. Savory Margarita and I also ordered their Double Curry Smash Burger and it was good. Parking out front for a fee. Decent prices.

This place is big with several separate main areas, so The Kee is a lot of things depending on when you go -- bar, restaurant, event space, game room, art display, live music spot, even a club atmosphere. Some areas are well furnished, others strangely stark and cold. I've been several times now and still can't figure out what it wants to be, but maybe that's up to the clientele to make it what they want. There are a LOT of cornhole boards, casual sets near the front and what appears to be league play in the big room. There are three different bars, the one in the big room not always operating. There are free golf simulators, ping pong, giant checkers/chess at the back of the main bar. There are other games that are not free. There is food that is pretty good, but expensive. There are beers and drinks that are pretty good, but expensive. The staff seems nice and welcoming most of the time. Parking is available on the street out front, in a nearby pay lot, or on neighboring streets with the Park CBUS app. One really aggravating thing is that they automatically add a 20% tip to your bill, but unless you're paying really close attention you won't see that they've done it so you tip 20% more on top and end up paying a ton. That's sneaky at best and kinda shitty at worst, IMO. I think it's worth checking out a couple of times, maybe once on weeknights and again on a weekend, but watch your tab or get an unpleasant surprise.

Bartenders do not know how to triage. Waited over 20 minutes for a single drink.

I reserved an area in the lounge for a retirement celebration and we had a wonderful time, the food was great, the drinks were great, the service and hospitality was great and the ambience and decor was great. I would highly recommend this lounge to anyone of all ages.
