Good times!!

by Bruiz at Citysearch

Started going to Keats a month ago...fun place!! Karaoke is a blast!! Some great singers, not at all pretentious. Some not so good but everyone is enjoying themselves. Even some of the staff sing! I work in the industry further downtown & enjoy chatting to the bartenders. Recently went on Tues night after work for trivia, it was a challenge!! Easy going, relaxed place with a good mix of people. Worth checking out!

• Pros: Great atmosphere & service
• Cons: small bathrooms

Pub Quiz, Pub Food, Pub Fun

I've heard of this place for karaoke but decided to try it on an off night. I found out they have trivia on Tuesdays so I went with a few friends. We were unsure at first but once we sat down everything was great. Our waitresses were wonderful, drinks were strong, and we saw what later on appeared to be the trivia host walking around and talking to people, seeming to know everyone. I thought 'is this one of those places where we'll feel like we won't belong?' Couldn't be further from the truth. The host befriended us and it immediately felt like home.

We had the burgers to start, they were excellent, cooked exactly like we wanted. We didn't do very well at the trivia, but it seemed like the host has his own unique style so we decided to definitely come back to try our hand again.

All in all, great experience...I highly recommend this place, if for nothing else, the atmosphere. The only thing I would change are the prizes. Apparently you win bar tabs, which everyone seems to be ok with. The host said they're starting something online, so we'll see where they go with it.

• Pros: good crowd, no drunks, service
• Cons: prizes

Lunchtime Lowdown

by trustedscholar at Citysearch

Just recently began working near the U.N., overheard people talking about Keats at work so decided to bring a buddy and check it out. Nice and very attentive staff, especially since we had to get in and out for lunch (assuming they're used to making quick lunches) but they didn't skimp on the quality. In fact, the person who I assumed is the head chef actually comes out and talks to customers about how their lunch was.

I've been back at least once a week for lunch since and have been telling all my coworkers about it.

• Pros: Good service, nice atmosphere, healthy menu
