Essay question: Why should I drink here?
Keg ’N Cork is a neighborhood bar in the best sense: a low-key place where people can have a few beers and hang out with friends. Located in the old McRaney’s Tavern space after a couple of other endeavors failed in the location (RIP, Barley’s Taphouse and Winter Park Saloon), the remodel has brightened things up, both inside and outside. The patio is inviting and the beer selection is respectably extensive. The food is OK, but don’t feel bad if the smell from 4 Rivers, located just next door, summons you for a barbecue break between beers. Parking headaches, long a problem at previous incarnations of this spot, are alleviated now that you’re allowed to park in the 4 Rivers lot.
