Iconic Lafayette Nightclub ‘The Keg’ Officially Up for Sale—Here’s The Asking Price

A legendary piece of Lafayette nightlife history is officially on the market. The Keg, a once-thriving local hotspot for college students, greeks, and local party animals, has been listed for sale, confirming rumors that have been circulating for what feels like years now.

Located at 115 McKinley Street, The Keg has been a staple of Lafayette’s party scene for decades. Generations of USL and University of Louisiana at Lafayette students (depending on your respective party era) and residents have memories (or lack thereof) of wild nights at this iconic venue. However, the club's heyday has long passed, and the building has remained largely dormant in recent years outside of a few pop-up concepts and one-off events.

The property is now listed at $975,000, offering what the listing describes as a prime commercial space in Lafayette’s University corridor. The sale also includes 205 McKinley Street, a lot directly across the street, which could serve as additional parking or expansion for potential buyers. The listing, handled by Rex Moreaux of Scout Real Estate, highlights the site's potential for redevelopment, investment, or a new business venture.

How Did the Keg's Legacy Fade?

Over the years, The Keg has seen multiple owners, some of whom have gone on to open other successful businesses or pursue entirely different career paths. The club was once the go-to destination for nightlife in Lafayette, but in recent years, it struggled to maintain its former glory.

What’s Next for The Keg?

With its 7,299-square-foot building and prime location near Johnston Street and UL, the property presents a unique opportunity for a new owner. Whether it remains a nightlife venue, transforms into a restaurant, retail space, or something entirely different, the future of The Keg is now in the hands of whoever steps up to claim this piece of local history.

Some nostalgic Lafayette residents have even joked about starting a GoFundMe to collectively buy the space and relive the glory days. While that may not be realistic, one thing is certain: The Keg’s legacy lives on in the memories of those who partied there.
