What the hell happened to this place?! Would've given it a 1 star if I ordered food. Instead, I watched another customer get low quality food and bad service. I just got the bad service fortunately. The other customer had "hard" chicken fingers and his girlfriend had hair in her fries. The bartender was a nice guy but clearly his p.o.s. manager affected his mood. She was far from hospitable in rectifying the customer's complaint. She essentially told him a 2 dollar credit was sufficient. I get that they were busy for the Buckeye game earlier.
Perhaps they even had horrible customers who didn't tip. However, I showed up at 0030 hours, after a wedding, and felt like I was bothering them when I ordered a beer. Maybe they should close after an OSU game if they want to give shitty service! If Jon Taffer was here he would surely fire the short, fat, attitudinal female manger.
I will close by saying that I previously worked out of an Independence office for six years. It literally was a night and day difference between the old Winking Lizard and the shit show they put on now. It smelled like rotten bath water and was not very clean. Service blew and they've become a shitty lower class bar. Good job ownership! Nice move! Looks like shit inside as well. Hope the money you saved in rent was worth it!
I DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE BACK OR RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION!
