We have learned from some old-timers in the vicinity that this location has been called Blackberry Corner since Hector was a pup. The name is, so we heard tell, older than the hills. Ferdinand Lau, of Route 2, Curtice, says it was called that when he was a boy, and he?s 82, nigh 83.
One story has it that the whole area, when it was just a wide place in the road, was jumping with blackberry bushes, and people came from a far piece to pick them. But there was another attraction. There was a saloon there, and some people do say that one day a bunch of berry pickers were lapping it up like sixty and some of them got to smearing each other with berries. Somebody with a funny streak in him said that it was ?certainly a blackberry corner,? and the name stuck. It?s a fair to middling explanation as good as any.

Formerly, The Country Keg, The Keg was purchased in May of 2022 by a family from the nearby town of Genoa, Ohio. We are located in the quaint, rural town of Graytown, Ohio. After a total remodel we finally opened our doors in November 2023. Our intention is to keep the history and integrity of The Country Keg and the surrounding community . This is a new venture for our family. All we know is we love to eat and cook good homemade food and that is what we want to serve to our customers. We invested in a Wood Fired Pizza Oven and the pizzas are delicious. We also have a regular menu as well. Our food and Pizza is scratch made with the best quality ingredients. We also have a full bar and an impressive list of Craft Beer. We want this to be a place with the atmosphere of "Everybody knows your name" and if they do not, you will still feel at home.
