Kool Keg is a sister bar to Hooligans which is just around the corner and down a walking alley. Kool Keg is the craft beer and growler bar you always wanted but didnt know was there. Its a small, wonderfully appointed, classy bar that just feels right every time you walk in. The management very obviously cares about not just beer, but the entire beer experience and have made sure that the staff is up to snuff. The Digital Pour menu on the all (alongside the Digital Pour app) gives you an easy snapshot of whats on tap. And the state-of-the-art draught and counter-fill wall is a sparkling joy to behold. The staff always uses appropriate glassware for the style (Spiegelau for the greater part) that has been immaculately cleaned and rinsed before the pour which means you will almost always get the proper amount of head on your beer. In addition to that, Kool Keg is also a package store, which means theyve got an entire wall of beer available for purchase to go. In an area that is soon to be rife with places to drink, Kool Keg is an absolute pearl.

This place is AMAZING for multiple reasons. First, the bartenders and managers seriously care about everyone who walks through the door. They really do treat everyone like family. Second, the atmosphere is great. They keep the music low so that you can actually converse with whomever youre in conversation with. Everything about this bar radiates formality without pretentiousness from the unique bar chairs to the brick walls. Third, the affordability of the products. They offer several sizes so that you can try a little or a lot without getting full. Finally, the selection! Taps rotate so much that youll never have the same beer twice (unless you want to)! If you love craft beer or if youve never tried it, I HIGHLY recommend that you give Kool Keg a try. This place offers an alternative to most bars. To quote one of the managers: "Were a bar for grown ups."

Jeff is the most helpful guy you can find - hes friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and even helped me troubleshoot my kegerator tank setup. I havent purchased a keg here yet, but they seem to have a good selection on hand, and Ill bet they can find and order pretty much anything to suit. They also offer a decent selection of craft brews in four/six-pack bottles and cans. I was most excited about the fact that they offer CO2 tank refills for my home kegerator. My next keg purchase will be from Kool Keg.

These guys really know craft beer. Tgey carry a few bottles, not many, but they are high end bottles. They consistently rotate their taps so theres always something new to try. The are also a Growler Fill place and have a phenomenal system for filling growlers to ensure your beer stays fresh longer. They also get in rare beers on occasion. If you live close to Arlington you need to check them out! Cheers!

One step into Kool Kegs and I was immediately put at ease. A very classic old wood style that doesnt come off as trying too hard. Great selection with knowledgeable and friendly peeps. Without question the fill station deserves to be registered as a historical landmark as it is one of a kind. Any micro brewery enthusiast wont be able to go in without cracking a smile of joy.

Id assume that a bar tender should know how to read an out of state ID. Disappointed because I really enjoyed kool keg until I was treated so rudely. Maybe he hasnt been bar tending long but he needs to be able to at least scan the ID, I dont know of any bar that cant scan to confirm. Took my business elsewhere tonight and had a blast.

Selection, atmosphere, and staff are all great. I understand when a place this good is so small and its a shame that it could not grow without losing what makes it work. This is the small town of tap rooms, everyone is super friendly and always welcomes you in for a drink.

This place is very convenient as it is close to my work. The price seems right on and also, the kölsch I bought is mighty tasty. Plus now I have a new growler to take to my friends house and beg for his North Texas Homebrew. I will post again because I love beer.

A great little growler bar that always has interesting beers on tap as well as bottles. They also tend to have a wide range of prices which seems to help them draw on both the craft beer loving college students and the "grown up" craft beer enthusiasts.

Kool Keg is the bar you go to to see your friends and have a great chat. The beer selection is amazing and once you get to know the staff they pick out great beers for you to try. I love this place and the people that you meet there.

If you enjoy a fully bodied beer this is the place, nice ambience, last time I went they didnt had a beer menu instead they have a flat screen in the room with all its inventory prices and how much is left on the keg.
