| - There are a dozen or so Winking Lizards in the Cleveland area, but this one has a special charm. The building use to be an old tennis club and then turned into a Elk Lodge, and then a Winking Lizard. The inside is huge, and the bar can seat plenty of beer goers.
I went on a Monday evening around 7pm or so. It had decent traffic but it was not to the point were you had to wait to be seated or for someone to leave the bar. The stand out feature of Winking Lizard is their incredible beer list. About 200 beers you can choose from. You can join their World Tour of Beer, which is about 10 bucks for the membership and you get a book explaining each beer on the list and a rating a guide so you can rate the beers you like or do not like.
Their food is good, but nothing special, typical American bar food, wings, burgers, sandwiches. Monday and Tuesday are their wing nights. On a typical wing night at restaurants you get the worse wings possible, but these wings were great, plenty of flavors to pick from, they are juicy and fresh. Definitely a must try here.
The hostess and the bartenders are great. Friendly and knowledgeable, everything you need to complete the experience. If you are looking for a bar/restaurant with a great beer list and great atmosphere you should definitely true out Winking Lizard.
