So over the weekend my girlfriend wanted to go to the Keg "Mansion". Reluctantly I agreed as it was her turn to select our destination. I called ahead a few days prior, but they don't take reservations on weekends (this should have been the first warning). We get there and are told it's a 1.5-2 hour wait, but the lounge was available. So we go up to the lounge and it is full (barely standing room). About a third of the people aren't at all dressed to be going out for dinner (people literally wearing shiny ufc t-shirts and trackpants) and just generally acting like jackasses. I thought ok fuck this scene, going to Barbarians, which had no wait and was excellent as usual.
Long story short, why is the Keg Mansion so popular when it is such a steaming pile of shit? It's only marginally cheaper than Barbarians and the location is sort of out of the way. Beyond that, the steak isn't even remotely comparable.
