The Keg is a Canadian chain of steakhouse restaurants and bars located in Canada and the United States.

History

The Keg on King Street West in Downtown Toronto's Fashion District.
100th location of The Keg was built in Moncton, New Brunswick in 2007.

It was founded in 1971 in North Vancouver, British Columbia as 'The Keg and Cleaver by George Tidball at one very small, downstairs location in an old industrial building in the Moodyville area of lower Lonsdale and today operates in all provinces (excluding Prince Edward Island) and five American states.[1] The Keg is well known for buying up historic manors and turning them into restaurants. Examples of this are the Keg Mansion in Toronto, and the Keg Manor at the Maplelawn Estate in Ottawa. Also notable as heritage restorations are the Kegs in Kamloops, British Columbia, which was a CN Station and in New Westminster, British Columbia, which was formerly the city's CPR station.
