East Hollywood, Los Angeles · bar
Finding Lock & Key feels like walking into a secret handshake: red door, wall of doorknobs, and then—surprise—this huge speakeasy in Koreatown built for wandering. The interior is low-ceilinged, with plush green-leather banquettes, white marble surfaces, hushed indoor lounge areas, and a sprawling back patio where DJs spin late. Drinks are their flex: punch bowls, torches, seasonal cocktails, and a front-and-center bar program that slaps. Food nerds rejoice—pizza (deep-dish, NY, Sicilian), wings, garlic fries, and even deep-fried PB&J.
