| - My mentor and I came here right after drinks at Againist the Grain. He had a friend who was here with a bunch of people and wanted to go in and make an appearance. When you're a lawyer or any type of professional that requires interaction with others, it is very important to make an appearance even though you don't want to or you don't have time, if even for a second (but it's never really for a second).
This Keg is snazzier and way more trendy than all the other Kegs I've been to, not that I've been to many because I'm vegan. It's dark, with beautiful furniture and interior design with a cool lounge atmosphere. Sadly we didn't get to enjoy the interior, my mentor's friends were outside on the patio. According to my mentor, when this Keg first opened its patio, it was the most happening patio and the one you want to be seen on. Tonight it was still pretty 'happening': it was packed full of suits, the typical Bay Street types from the surrounding office towers. It was loud and everyone was having a good time, or at least seemed like it. I honestly couldn't hold a meaningful conversation because I couldn't hear the people around me and had to shout alot, which sucks because that's not my type of convos that I like to have. The drinks were ok, I had a glass or two of a Cab, but I can't comment on the price because I didn't see the drink menu, nor did I pay for it. When you're with a group of people you just met, I find it easier to go with the flow and take what they offer you.
I'm not sure if I'll come back... maybe with a suit and when I'm invited. Definitely not my first choice of after-after work drinks place, but I'm easy going and able to adapt to different surroundings. Bar hopping on a Thursday night... with this being the second bar of the night, it kind of exhausted me before 10PM.
