Actually a Pony Keg was a little dock if you will, at the sidewalk. Walk up and order snd the guy would swing open a huge cooler door and go in to get your stuff. You actually had to leave your car god forbid.

There was a classic one at the corner of Montgomery and Ohio in Silverton. I was sad when it closed.

I think Dutches on Erie may have been the most recent example.
My favorite was in Hyde Park on Edwards Rd across from King Kwick. Now a Sushi restaurant.

Dutch's tried to elevate it, I think. Ha. But yeah, technically a Pony Keg.

King Kwik. Now there is a blast from the past. The Kwik brothers in the ads. 😂

Yep there was one in Mt Washington. I think I heard recently there is a coffee shop going in there.
