Listen it's hard to differentiate The Keg from. other places and even from other Keg restaurants, but I'll try. first off location is a great. right along the esplanade with a good amount of dining and bar space.
There's a green p large lot nearby to accommodate parking and if you're seeing a show at the Sony Centre (as we were) this is a great spot for pre show meal or post show meal/drinks. ours were of the former and had a pre show bottle of wine with dinner.
atmosphere
first off this place on most evenings, especially with a show coming is going to be extremely busy. they don't take reservations during those times so please do expect to wait.
even the bar was full but the best thing is you can open and start your tab at the bar, start with an appetizer and wait for the little beeper to go off. it's what we did and right away the best item on the wine menu is a bottle for $24 of Pelham. it's great value with any meal.
had calamari and instead of steaks went with their burgers with twice baked potato. classic combo and tasted as I expect which was delicious! aside from the wait times can't say I'm upset. service was good, fast and attentive.
food was cooked quickly and properly and atmosphere, especially when busy is a nice place.
no complaints and would come here again as Ill know what to expect. also a great place to use a gift card.
