Kegel’s Inn

July 3, 2007
Neat little building reminiscent of a german beer hall. Nice rotating selection of German beers but come here for the authentic German food at a decent price. The Sauerbraten is to die for!

My first impression of Kegel’s when I parked the car and walked into the place was "old," or if you prefer, "authentic." The fascade of the building is attractive, and I’ve read it dates to 1924, but I might have guessed that it was a tied house from the old days. The clientele reflects the neighborhood, and is a mature group as well. And the interior reflects an old-world craftsman with a lot of woodwork and murals around the ceiling. I didn’t eat here, but the beer was reasonably priced. There were ten beers on draft with a limited selection in bottles behind the bar. The beer list is definitely import focused (Spaten Lager, Oktoberfest, Optimator, Franziskaner Weisse, Hacker-Pschorr Weisse, Pilsner Urquell, Dinkel Acher, Radeberger, and a few macros). This is not really a beer focused place...it is focused on people getting together and sharing conversation and food. Tot that point, there is not a TV in sight which is rare in bars these days.
