The Keg of Evanston is under attack, and we’re not just referring to the recent string of police raids. The beloved establishment, dearer to most Northwestern students than midterms or Brothelgate, is in danger of getting its liquor license pulled by Evanston’s liquor commissioner and mayor, Elizabeth Tisdahl, who is expected to make her decision by Tuesday. The city is concerned that The Keg’s reputation as a haven for thirsty, underage drinkers reflects poorly on the image of Evanston. The city attorney pulled all the stops, even presenting evidence in the form of screen shots that show incriminating tweets from the Kegofevanston account (now deleted from Twitter-sphere)—an account that the owner, Tim Migon, claims is a fake account. The Keg’s liquor license has been temporarily suspended in the past, in the case of a shooting in 2005 when an Evanston man was killed in the bar.

Wo even drinks at the keg? 90% of the underage people who go are beyond wasted by the time they get there.
