The service at the Keg was wonderful! Our server was attentive and quite knowledgeable and professional. The food was good! My chicken was really tough! I wouldn’t order it again. I only ordered it because I wanted something different for a change! Hubbys steak was deadly good. He loved it & shared it with me! The beets were very bland! It was my birthday so the ice cream cake was a very nice touch at the end of dinner! Overall a great dinner despite the very tough chicken!

Press Gang is a neighbourhood gem. The comforable ambience, warm decor and talented staff always make patrons feel welcome. The menu is broad and the food is terrific. (Everything is great, but the oysters and chowder are world class). The drinks list is full of choice. including a huge selection of whiskies and a thoughtfully curated wine list. In a city that is richly endowed with wonderful restaurants, Press Gang continues to stand out.

About the restaurant

Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.

In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration.

But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

We were a party of 5 coworkers celebrating our CFO's bday at lunch time. We were given a nice secluded corner booth that was the perfect size for all of us and our bday supplies! Our server Alanah(sp?) was the perfect hostess and continually checked in on us, so we were well taken of. Drinks were served immediately and after 10 mins of deciding what to have, our lunch arrived approx 20 mins later. All plates at once and all food hot and delicious! Between us we had the chicken fingers w truffle fries, lobster and crab dip and salads (garden, caeser and chicken caesar) and there was not one complaint. No one had room desert but the bday boy took his free desert home with him. Restaurant was not noisy - we were the noisy ones, but hey, what's a little laughter among friends! Bathroom was clean but toilet starting flushing while I (female) was still seated! That was a little unexpected! All in all, it was a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

Beef tartare ON POINT. I’d prefer it served without potatoe chips but it’s delicious regardless. The egg yolk on top is the cherry. Had blue dot PEI tenderloin 8oz. Perfectly cooked med. rare. 👌🏼 Mashed starch, enough for 2 and served with garlic butter. Asparagus w Bernaise (could use more Bernaise as a rule for life) Decent wine selection.

Had a very good experience. The food was acceptable for the value. My husband's side order of onion rings were cold and a server did bring him out a fresh side order which was not asked for but appreciated. The music was a tad bit loud, for us but we were still able to have a conversation.
