The Keys - Preston, Victoria

This place is awesome. There are two bars, a beer garden, an arcade and a bowling alley to keep you entertained and the food is pretty good for a venue of this kind. I had the buffalo wings with blue cheese sauce, which are only $7 per basket on Mondays. They were excellent. There is a good selection of beers on tap and a couple of fun cocktail specials (I couldn't get enough of the Captain Morgan dark and stormy). The whole place has a lovely Old World feel to it, with carpeted floors, wood features, leather seats, and retro signage everywhere. I'll definitely be heading back.

Such an awesome place. Retro styled bowling alley with top food, a bar and all the usual old school arcade fun. The team at The Keys are just brilliant. #thekeys

What a great night with such a beautiful American feel with an outside beer / food garden, inside AMF bowling laness and the food is awesome and so fresh. The food was a highlight and the vibe and atmosphere is brilliant. What a great family and social place to spend on a Saturday night with family and friends. Well done to the owner and what a great place to be on a saturday night. We will be back again. 10/10.

Felt a bit rushed here. They’re clearly trying to move people through the bowling fast, which makes sense since there aren’t many lanes. The arcade section was pretty underwhelming. They could easily make this place a lot better. Drinks were standard bar stuff. But the food was the surprise—pub-style and way better than expected for a venue like this. Overall, it’s alright. Decent spot, but it’s got a lot more potential than they’re using.

Been wanting to try this place for a while and it didn't disappoint - it's huge with lots of great seating options. The bowling was great fun with a cool old school atmosphere. Staff were super friendly and good selection of offerings at the bar!

Bowled about 10 games here over the last 2 days. My first comment was the staff are absolutely phenomenal. They greet everyone with a perfect attitude and are extremely welcoming and will help you out the best they can. You can tell it’s a positive work environment as all the staff get along and vibe very well. The theme for this bowl and the atmosphere is unlike any I’ve visited before and I’ll certainly be returning to see the friendly faces greeting me at the counter. Props to all you guys for creating a great atmosphere for all to enjoy.

We recently had our Staff Party at the Keyes and couldn't speak more highly of the joint. The staff were amazing and patient in putting up with our extra nonsense - The drinks and food were priced well and there was a good selection and the lanes are beautiful.

Cheers to the team there on Monday for accommodating us and helping us truly make the most of something that we don't often get to do!

Cheers from the Runner Up Team 🤘🏻

Dropped by on a Thursday evening and the outdoor area was reasonably quiet between 6 and 7:30 although the bowling lanes were busy and people were starting to roll in.

There are a bunch of arcade games but unfortunately no pinballs.

Of the couple of bars at the venue only one was open and there was a bit of a queue for ordering food and drinks. Surprisingly there weren't any QR codes to order from your table which was unfortunate as it meant needing to line up for the next round of drinks.

Food was ok but a bit limited. For the price, portions are a bit small.

One of our orders was missing an add-on so had to go and line up to ask about it but it eventually got sorted.

Probably would have stayed a bit longer if it was possible to order from your table.

Overall ok but probably won't be back.
