The Kegs is a novelty-architecture drive-in restaurant in Grand Forks, North Dakota, built in 1946 from repurposed barrel structures. The two large wooden barrels that form the building's distinctive silhouette were originally constructed in 1935 as part of The Barrel, a chain of seven walk-up root beer stands operated by William Harry Muzzy. When relocated to their present site in 1946, the barrels were joined by a rectangular section containing the front counter, creating the unified drive-in that stands today. The building was recognized with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
