you gotta love the Lizard! tons of craft beer, solid food selections, FREE POPCORN, tons of space, and a fun, casual atmosphere. nothing pretentious, just a place to drink and relax. and hey, a tank with a big ol' iguana in it too!
every month, a different craft/import beer is featured as the special. for just about two bucks more, you can take home the glass it comes in, from that beer's origin brewery. 6 bucks for a fill of good beer and a glass? FUC yes! it's like Pokemon - gotta catch 'em all!
prices for the craft beers are reasonable; a bit cheaper than what I'm used to here in New York, so I was certainly happy! they have a Beer Club where you can mark off that you've tried some ridiculous amount of beers there (I think it was 100?) and get a prize when you finish. a lot of good stuff on tap, so you can go for flights/samples, as well as a crazy bottle selection.
food is solid. tons of options, mostly bar/casual type of food (burgers, wraps, BBQ, pizza, and such). they've got a bunch of flavors for chicken wings (with obligatory thermometer), all of them are great. okay, so I haven't tried the two hottest ones...yet. or if you just want a little snack, there's a machine churning out free popcorn!
we took up a few tables on the huge outdoor patio for my cousin's wife's birthday party, then had to move inside when a sudden rainstorm attacked. staff was great and worked quickly to re-arrange the indoor area for us. I had no problem with the service.
now I need a beer!
