The Keg Opening

A few weeks ago, I got some free passes to a soft opening to a new restaurant that was opening in the Arlington Highlands area. The restaurant was the Keg Steakhouse and it is of course known for their meats.

On Friday the 13th, a group of us went for a night of free food, cheap drinks, and some debauchery. Ogle, Meagan, Paul, Katie, Kelly and I went their with high expectations for an awesome night, and that is exactly what we got.

There was a price for the meal, but it was only $5 a person and it went to the Boys and Girls Club, so I am pretty sure no one was going to complain about a $30 meal per person cost only $5 and that money going to a local charity.

They had some of the best drinks for a really good price. I got a double rum and coke (or what they call, "The Keg Sized Drink") and it did the trick. I am sure, along with the wonderful staff at the Keg, that I loved the Keg Sized Drinks and may have become a little over zealous with showing my gratitude.

Again, since it was a soft opening and you needed an invitation to get that night, there was a set menu for the dinner. Every couple got an appetizer to share, their own entree, and a dessert to split as well. Since there was 6 of us in our group, everyone got a different meal and shared it just so we could all taste the full menu.

We were at the Keg for about a good 2 hours and the place was packed. The service was great and it was some of the best food that I have ever had. After that, we went to Paul and Katie's house to drink and hang out some more. Overall, good night!
