| - You know how everyone calls Lakewood the "college town without a college"? Well, this would be the big frat house on campus. I describe this place as a "bro-bar" to my friends who have never been here. It surprises me that the guy that owns Georgetown owns this place too...I always got the feeling the inside of the place was just dirty every time I went, ESPECIALLY the bathrooms (have they been re-done? If so, I haven't seen them yet). I typically go outside on their pretty big outdoor patio that they have, and it's nice they realize that the greater Cleveland area does have cold weather from time to time, and they do have one or two heat lamps out there for those chilly nights.
I think the biggest reason this bar reminds me of a fraternity is because of the dance floor/room, whatever you want to call it. I just think of the random big room where the frat guys would push all the couches out of the way, play some music and have a couple colored strobe lights. That's pretty much what that room is like, with a bar in it. But, when my friends ask me where is somewhere local they can go on the west side to dance without going downtown, that's really the only place I can think of. Either ATC found a niche or I haven't been to enough places to find one where you can dance...like that..(....without going downtown).
The service......eh. Hit or miss. Sometimes they're good, other times it feels like they're serving everyone but you and they are doing it while they hate their lives. I came here once and ordered the sliders--probably won't be doing that again. Didn't care for it. Came here another time during Lent for a fish fry. Now let me tell you, I do NOT like seafood, put the perch was super good! My girlfriend got the cod, and I think I would like a couple bites but not the whole thing. I have never been here for brunch, but, I have heard that the brunch is super, super good. Can't comment on it though..
