So many good things to say about Merry Arts! One of my favorite pub/restaurants in Lakewood to eat/drink. They have specials every day of the week and they are pretty good deals. Very fair prices on food and drinks, especially during happy hour. Come here to catch a game and you can enjoy your own private TV inside your booth while you eat/drink.
One thing that you absolutely must try are the tacos. Tom Hanks himself (yes, the actor) has raved about how these are some of the best tacos he has ever had. On Thursdays they shut down the menu and solely offer these ground beef tacos in all of their flaky shell goodness. At $2 a pop they are a steal. You can order them hot or mild and if you want any minor customizations make sure you let the cook know. It can get busy but they are worth the wait.
Another favorite deal of mine is on Fridays they have 20 cent mussels! Order twenty of these bad boys and it will only set you back 4 bucks. They have a delicious fish fry also during lent and throughout the year.
This is a terrific spot to start out with a meal before a night out drinking or to just stop for a nice casual experience any day of the week. Get here!
