| - Looks like Winking Lizard got something right, and that "something" comes in the form of great beer lists and this particular location.
Yes, the Lizard has spots all over NEO, but like many other yelpers who have written before me, I agree that Lakewood takes the cake. It's nestled inside a huge, historic building with plenty of rooms for family dinner and/or bar debauchery--whatever floats your boat. Not to mention a game room, free popcorn and a bowling alley downstairs. You walk inside this place and seriously feel tiny, that's how tall the ceilings are.
I know what you're thinking... This chick probably just likes this place because of the free popcorn. Well, it's true. That does contribute to my feelings, considering my undying and intense passion for le p-corn. But that's not all. Take a glance at the insane beer menu and you'll see why.
The food? Well, it's not my favorite bar grub, but it'll do. I've had better veggie options at greasier spots. The burgers are tasty, as well as the wings, but I can't see myself going out of my way to eat here. It's one of those places you go to for the brews and end up eating to soak up the large amounts of booze sloshing in your stomach. (Nice image, eh?)
As far as watching sports--well, they've got a bajillion TVs and there's no way in hell someone is going to be tall enough to block your view. Not with those ceilings at least. So, sure.. go get your barley-pop sipping, wing-fingered macho time on. Lizard is a great spot to do it!
