🎄 2 nights. 2.5 acres. 2 million lights. Let’s go!

The Keg is leaning all the way into the season, and honestly? It wears the holidays well. Their limited-time Holiday Features bring serious cheer: think Prime Rib Stuffed Yorkshire Pudding, the Kansas City Bone-In Striploin, and cocktails like the very merry Kegnog.

It’s the kind of place where the steaks arrive perfectly cooked, the service feels celebratory, and the night naturally turns into a toast-worthy moment. Perfect for parties, date nights, and “just because it’s December” dinners.

Cluemaster is such a fun way to break up all the holiday errands and family gatherings. Their puzzles hit that sweet mix of clever and challenging, the kind that get everyone talking as soon as the clock starts.

Recent guests mention how patient and upbeat the staff is, even with big groups. If you’re looking for a seasonal outing that shakes up the routine, this one adds a nice spark.

Adele is a fun loving 9 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix.

With the kind of big smile and bigger ears that brighten any room, this medium sized sweetheart is house trained, crate trained, and always ready for a walk or a good game of fetch.

She loves children, though she feels most comfortable with older kids, and she prefers a home without other dogs or cats. Adele is affectionate, playful, loyal, and full of charm.
