This place is special amongst the divey-esque places in Lakewood. Decent atmosphere. Interior has 2 section, high top tables, plenty of televisions, pleasant clientele (usually), decent prices, good specials, jukebox, covered and uncovered patio, tacos (duh) Monday and Thursday, and live music on occasion. The only negative thing I can say is the service sometimes. I am not sure if it's my uncanny ability to be invisible at a bar but sometimes I'll stand and remain unserved for 5
minutes or more. It isn't as though the customer volume is overwhelming.
This is really the only negative thing to coming here that I can think of. At least on a Monday ;] otherwise merry arts is a favorable experience and I will continue to patronize this establishment.
Try the hot taco with sour cream and a bumble berry draft. If that can't cure a Monday I don't know what can.
