I live a block away from this place and since I enjoy beer and bar food I've been here about a thousand times. And yes, I have driven that one block before. It gets cold in the winter.
The Lakewood location is in a pretty cool building. The space is huge with some nice outdoor seating available. They also have outdoor TV's that I like to look at when I run by in the summer. I don't think that's really a relevant detail, I just want everyone to know that I exercise (if no one knows you do it then what's the point). Like all Wink locations they have a gigantic beer list that can be a little overwhelming. Honestly, I usually select beers randomly based on how "cool" I perceive the name to be. The wait staff can usually help you out with that a little bit, but it's a huge list so asking them for recommendations almost seems cruel. I've had my fair share of mixed drinks here and I've always felt they were a little weak, but in their defense it's probably a proper pour which is certainly less than what I'm pouring at home.
The food at the Winking Lizard is always going to be decent. I've never had a bad meal there, but I don't know that I've had something so fantastic that I feel the need to specifically mention it in a Yelp review. I've walked here to eat alone before which was pretty sad, but I can tell you I certainly wouldn't have done that if I didn't enjoy their food. I would also like to note that I have a small obsession with their BBQ sauce. I use it instead of ketchup with their fries and I even throw it on their popcorn because I am a disgusting individual and I have no respect for my body. Long story short, the BBQ sauce is good.
Final verdict: The Wink in Lakewood is a good place for casual beers and bar food, even dinner alone if you're a lonely individual like that. Put the BBQ sauce on your popcorn, I swear it's good. Then play drunken skeeball. That's a solid evening right there. You won't regret it.
