The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Richmond Hill

The restaurant is easy to combine with an evening out in that commercial strip of Richmond Hill, whether the plan is dinner before a show, a drive up from the 404 corridor, or a stop after a day of shopping along Highway 7. This section lays out what a first-time guest can expect, from arrival to seating, so the visit feels planned rather than improvised.

Getting ready for a first visit

What should a first-time guest know before arriving?

A first-time guest benefits from knowing three things in advance: the hours for that particular day of the week, whether a table is reserved or the visit is a walk-in, and how to reach the plaza from the 404. Richmond Hill draws a mix of local residents and visitors passing through the Highway 7 business corridor, so the dining room sees both regulars stopping in after work and out-of-town guests staying nearby. Calling ahead at 905-882-0500 or checking the official site at thekeg.com/en/locations/richmond-hill before heading out removes any guesswork about that day's opening time, since hours shift between weekdays and weekends.

Parking is one detail worth settling before arrival: the location offers free parking, which matters in a plaza that can fill up on busy evenings, particularly around dinner hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Arriving a few minutes early to park and walk in without rushing makes the first impression smoother, especially for anyone unfamiliar with the East Beaver Creek Plaza layout.

Services available on-site

What can a guest expect to use during a visit?

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Richmond Hill offers a dining room, a bar and lounge area, and a patio, giving guests a choice of setting depending on the season and the occasion. The dining room suits a seated dinner, the bar and lounge area works for a shorter visit or a pre-dinner drink, and the patio is the natural choice on a warm evening once Richmond Hill's patio season is in full swing through the spring and summer months.

Free Wi-Fi is available on-site, useful for a guest checking a reservation confirmation or looking up directions on arrival. The location is also wheelchair accessible, which is worth confirming in advance for anyone planning a visit with mobility needs. For guests who prefer to stay in, the restaurant offers takeout, which can be arranged by phone, and delivery service for those who would rather enjoy the menu at home. Reservations are accepted seven days a week, which gives flexibility to guests planning either a spontaneous stop or a booked evening.

Choosing the right time of day

How do the hours change through the week?

Hours run from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM Monday through Thursday, extend to 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM on Friday, and shift earlier on weekends with 3:00 PM to 12:00 AM on Saturday and 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM on Sunday. A guest planning a first visit should match the day of the week to these hours rather than assuming a single opening time applies every day, since the earlier weekend start allows for an earlier dinner than a weekday visit would.

A guest arriving right at opening, or planning a later stop after 9:00 PM, can plan around these windows if a shorter, more casual visit to the bar area is the goal rather than a full dinner in the dining room.
