👏🏽 GREAT vibe (80s & 90s music softly played + dim lighting), fantastic service (shout out to Libby), and the cocktails are stellar (esp the Italian amaretto & Sakura gin)! Non-alcoholic cocktail options are ample and delish 🍹. Pickle appetizer comes in a small cauldron ($9 and they’re delish). At 11:30 on a Sunday and the party is still going strong.

🚘 ✅♿️ Street parking out front and nearby is limited but existent. Wheelchair accessible entrance, tables, and bathroom (but no handle bar on walls around toilet).

Was super hungry and found this spot in downtown lowell.. its in kind of a sketch area but not horrible. The waiter was super nice and helpful until I got my food. Sat for quite a bit without anyone checking in. The menu definitely is unique with various options. Was a little surprised a side of curry sauce cost $3. I had the smash burger with bacon and it was pretty good. You could tell regulars frequented there and had a good time.

Had a great experience at the keep the other night. Great service from start to end. Well balanced cocktails on the menu and in addition the bartender was able to make me a great drink just based off of what I was asking for. The wings are some of the best wings I’ve had. The steak frites was cooked to a perfect medium rare, as you can see in the photo I posted. Can’t wait to visit again soon

We chose this restaurant after seeing a Phantom Gourmet video that made this place seem great. Unfortunately the restaurant seemed like it had gone downhill significantly since the time that video was made.

When we arrived we sat at the bar. There were 4-5 employees behind the bar, but still the service managed to be extremely slow.

They were out of all of the dishes we’d been excited to try, but we found other meals we were excited to try. Unfortunately the food was not great. I ordered a grilled cheese and shrimp bisque. The grilled cheese was fine, but the bisque was atrocious. They didn’t remove the shrimp shells before blending the soup so instead of being smooth, I kept having to pick chunks of shrimp shells out of my mouth. I love soup, bisques in particular, so it was really disappointing to be served something like that.

Went for brunch on Saturday and the food was great. Limited menu but we got the burger and chai French toast and both were super tasty. Servers were super nice as well. Definitely will be back!

Asked for a straw and female bartender completely disrespected me by pouring a bunch of straws in front of me condescendingly. I just needed one. I was telling a funny story to another patron about one of my nights at the Keep. The bartender overheard and took offense. She was ear-hustling for sure, but it wasn't a big deal. She took it upon herself to be rude. What can I say? Just another night at The Keep. *Shrugs*

In response to reply...

Your defensive response to the disrespect I experienced tonight is just a sign of the times. I don't need your Modelos. This review is not retalitory. This is a legitimate concern with service. Take this opportunity to learn from patron's experiences and improve service, not engage in back and forths with paying customers.

I would have given this 5 stars if the chips on my last visit were not overcooked. The chip dip might have been overcooked as well but it still tasted so good. The wings were so crispy and very well cooked and seasoned. The chicken dip is my most favorite wing dip in New England. I also tried their house salad and it was very fresh and filling. I like that they have a very simple menu with can be enjoyed by everyone.

Good food a little over priced though. Service was efficient even with only one server/ bartender on handling several guests. The building is great they haven't covered up any of the historic beauty of it and decorated it to compliment it.
