Humble definitely follows the trend happening in Lakewood away from the dive bar scene and more into gastropub type places. This area of Lakewood specifically is following that trend, I'm sure thanks to Melt. Lakewood owes Matt Fish a big high five.
We went for happy hour, which ends at 6p and is only at the bar. I disapprove. It was a beautiful day outside, but everything we wanted was on the happy hour menu and a great deal, so we skipped the big patio and headed inside.
Things were great from there. The wine was delicious and for once I can say I might have liked a Merlot more than a cab. I was starving, but it was too early for real dinner, so we just had a pizza at the bartenders recommendation. It was mushroom and it was awesome (and big!). The bartender was also great, super chatty and knowledgeable. I hate when bartenders don't know what they are talking about (*cough*greenhousetavern*cough) the non happy-hour prices are definitely on the high end, so you expect a higher level of service and we got it!
They do seem to have a large cocktail menu if that's your thing and wine on tap. How can a place be bad with wine on tap?
