If this place was in Toronto, it would be equally as busy and I'd be surprised that it wasn't a franchise by now. Â But if it were to move here, it'd probably lose the "where did you come from" charm that it currently has. Â The interior is rustic yet modern with stone work that is not out of place with Brockville's historic side, yet the modern fixtures solidify that even though rustic, this is not to be confused with an antique store or a bed and breakfast.
The taps selection is decent and at night The Keystorm place host to live bands of quality that, in my visits, anyway, don't make you want to leave like some place where you find yourself rummaging for your coat when you hear a guitar being tuned. Â The night I was most recently there, the band took to performing the Tragically Hip which borders on blasphemy in the 613 area code. Â They were applauded instead of pelted.
What stands out at the Keystorm is the food. Â Real potato fries, fresh ingredients, there is nothing on the menu that doesn't impress. Â If the 1000 Islands won't make you happy enough to be there, the Keystorm will do its best to put you over the top.
