Keats was established in June of 1981 by George Nicholas, Eddie Keating and Brian Slowey. All three men had already established successful nightclubs in The Hamptons and Hunter Mt. These men decided to take a shot at running a restaurant in midtown Manhattan. It did not take long for KEATS to become a popular restaurant/bar in the Big Apple. KEATS has changed partnership over the years, but the door has always been open and the patrons have always stayed loyal.

Unity is the way we like to describe the feel you get when you’re at KEATS. Our managers, bartenders, servers, and kitchen staff are dedicated to make patrons feel like KEATS is their home away from home.

Alex and George Nicholas are the current owners of KEATS. Their philosophy as owners is to make there staff feel like family, which in turn makes patrons feel welcome. Exceptional service is what KEATS prides itself on and helps make KEATS the successful business it is today.
