The Scene
In bar years, the Keg has been around for an eternity--since 1972. Its no-frills atmosphere (brown is the dominant color), moderate prices and proximity to the Northwestern campus have made it a reliable hangout over the decades for students and locals alike. Part tavern, part restaurant, the Keg has two bars, a dining room and a sizable game room that includes pool and darts. After work, the crowd is a blue- and white-collar mix; the dinner hour draws folks of all ages to the restaurant. College students take over later in the evening.
The Draw
Besides an all-you-can-eat salad bar, the dining room offers steak, chicken and seafood entrees; and for kids, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich served with french fries. Bar snacks include fried calamari, baked escargot, wings and rib fingers. Beer (including Sam Adams, Leinenkugel and Murphy's Stout) comes in bottles, pints and pitchers.

This bar on a Friday and/or Saturday Nites EArly is empty and it still takes awhile to get a beer. Bartender is too busy texting . The Service is Slow. Week Days I suggest a Tuesday or Monday great service and fast Beers.

it's a great local spot for those of us that grew up in the chicagoland area and have no desire to spend all their money getting in the door. there's a good DJ and plenty of space to dance - what more can one be looking for?

What can be said about The Keg that hasn't already been said about the Vietnam War: it's a hellhole, and the only way to deal with it is by trying to black out the horrible memories. Seriously though, it's a great drunken time if you're between the ages of 17 and 20...or if you're looking for people that age. With that being said, plenty of creepy people hang out there, not that that's something that deters people from going there. In the end, CHEAP beer (in Big Cups) and the best place to play quarters in the Evanston area. It's a fun time (stick to Mondays and Thursdays to actually see people there).
