Restaurant
Keg Yaletown
October 9, 2009
A luxurious labyrinth that shows off every cent of its $10-million price tag. At 23,000 square feet (three times the size of the Thurlow location) it’s four levels of marble, dark woods, and museum-quality artwork that seems to go on forever. Private 20-seat dining room hides beneath the raucous entry-level lounge while diners cut into 28-day-aged steaks in the second-floor dining room. The stacked fireplace tower draws the eye up toward this location’s eye-popping main attraction: a sprawling 140-seat rooftop deck. Complete with wrap-around bar and custom fire pits, this “best patio” contender plays host to preening scenesters and an army of décolletage-baring hostesses. Menu includes Keg classics like tender prime rib (10 ounces, $22.45), the peppercorn New York (10 ounces, $28.95), and baseball sirloins (12 ounces, $23.95) that satisfy carnal cravings for fair value.
