[Hot Karl]

[hamsup]

WTF $4 for patron shots? O_O

[LsquareD]

Restaurant is sexy indeed. You work there Arislo? I work a block down from The Keg. Yaletown Earls! :lol

[Roach]

Will definitely have to check this out. 4 floors!?

Why!?

Kev

[Hot Karl]

WTF $4 for patron shots? O_O

just for the dry run before they opened. staff+1 for cheap food and drinks.

[Arislo]

The dry run (practice run) was offered for special guests and keg execs. All their meals were 5 dollars and drinks half off! And the money was going to a fundraiser (forgot which one). It was definately a shit show :P

Werd LsquareD!! Looks like were Yaletown buddies!

Hot Karl which keg u work at?

[tiger_handheld]

@LsquareD, @Arislo - i work in yaletown too. can i be in your yaletown buddies group.... :)

[quasi]

LOL, no they didn't. I can't remember exactly when we started but I think it was Jan or Feb, my company was there from almost day 1 until it opened. That whole job was a total clusterfuck as well but it turned out nice in the end.

Really? 6 mo's?. It seemed super quick man. I hated the noise! grrh.

[Eff-1]

I work across the street from it. It definitely wasn't built in 1.5 months. That's ridiculous. For six months as least they've been working on it.

[Hot Karl]

arislo: i don't work at keg, my buddy's an accountant at the office in richmond. i just get the benefits of cheap keg action.

[LsquareD]

Wow. We all work pretty close together eh? Yaletown Mini-Meet! :lol

[quasi]

Really? 6 mo's?. It seemed super quick man. I hated the noise! grrh.

Ya, you probably didn't notice until they started working on the rooftop patio and the rest of the outside. There was a ton of work done inside a total transformation from what it was to what it is now. It's the nicest Keg I've ever been in it's not even a close second for any others.

[tiger_handheld]

which street you yaletown folk at?

I'm on the Hamilton Side with the Rogers and the subway there...

[BlackZRoadster]

^ im close by too hahaha
i work at Mini Yaletown

[Eff-1]

Rogers and Subway is on Mainland, not Hamilton.

[[o_o]]

The new Keg looks sick ass. Gonna drop by one day

[Arislo]

LOL!! Werd! Yaletown meet!!

Hot Karl: Right on :) it's always good to know a person that works for steak mart ;)

[LsquareD]

I'm on Mainland too. Right beside Glowbal

[bd0n]

fuck yaletown is turning into douche capital, fucking hell

[Jeffield]

never really found keg good... always end up going to mortons... but price is retarded

hmm is this one better than the other ones ?

[BlackZRoadster]

^ even when it was super busy, i found it the best tasting keg i've been to

[Stevie P]

This Keg sounds great, might have to check it out this weekend.

[Jeffield]

^ even when it was super busy, i found it the best tasting keg i've been to

ah i got to try it then

[bcrdukes]

Did you grow up with a silver spoon in your mouth as well?

[Arislo]

Morton's? There are better places like Gothams (also owned by the keg) and also Hy's for high end steakhouses.

I dunno which keg u've been to but most corporate ones are consistantly good.

[Jeffield]

Richmond Keg is nasty, my friends (grade 12 students) cooks their... they say they just throw it on the grill and thats all bleh, i didnt like it

I have been to Gotham and Mortons

I couldnt decide which one was better both were amazing
and at the same price range, about 250+ for both people

Me and my girlfriend last time shared a Double cut porterhouse .... holy shit was it big haha

sooooo good too

But hmm which are the better kegs?

[Expresso]

All the ones I've been to have been pretty consistent. I think the difference is mainly service unless they overcook your steak or something. If you don't like one Keg, you probably won't like any of them. Stick to your $60 steaks ;)

I hate saying this but most "franchise" kegs are kinda meh. But if you go to a corporate one it's good. If you're not happy of what your having (like your steak is over cooked), just simply tell them that you don't like it. They will grill you a new steak.

Corporate Kegs:

Thurlow, Burnaby, Yaletown, Granville Island, New West (hit and miss), Coquitlam (will open in october), Scott Road, Guilford.

Franchise:

Richmond, Whistler, Caesars, Morgan Creek, Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, pretty much most outskirts are franchise.

[Chairman Kaga]

Burnaby's omega prime rib was mouth watering good

[ooops]

sorry what's the difference between a Corporate and a Franchise? how do you know?

I'll agree that the keg is pretty consistent too! and yes the richmond one sucks.. the one on alberni and robson is the best!

[Arislo]

Fanchise is basically borrowing the keg name. Its semi-privately owned. They are free to do something like drink specials, different plate presentation but still have to keep certain things on the menu.

Easiest way to know if its a franchise? The garnish they provide u with your steaks. The franchise one gives out brocolli and cheese (richmond, morgan creek does it, dunno about the others). The corporate one gives you the baked tomato and cheese garnish.

[!SG]

gothams NY strip is best cut

mortons rib eye bone in is best cut :D

[observer]

What's the signature dish at Keg's?

[Hondaracer]

prime rib dishes mostly

[8ozsteak]

When it comes to steak, surprisingly enough, Catcus Club has definitely stepped up to the plate. The fillet mignon is kicking butt man

[jepho]

be prepared to wait for a table at yaletown....super busy. And the patio has to clear off by 11:00 because of noise laws. Very nice tho, its the new flagship store. the new coquitlam one is going to look like the burnaby one.

[Arislo]

ya if u want patio u gotta be there by 5pm or earlier 'cause ur gonna wait 2 hrs from then on. i don't mind serving patio stylez but man everyone wants to camp (meaning that they want to just sit and sip on their drinks)

[q0192837465]

damn, i never knew there's a difference between corporate & franchaise. No wonder the one I went to in Burnaby taste quite a bit better

[tiger_handheld]

So when's the Yaletown meet at the KEG guys?

[Senna4ever]

[~designer_rice~]

Went there opening weekend. Very amazing! It's like a Mall of Steaks! Not for vegetarians!! All that meat around!
