"In short: \n\nBeer 5 stars, \nService 0 stars, \nAmbiance 3 stars (it's what you would expect) \nFinal 2.67 stars (rounded up to 3 stars)\n\nFor beer selection, it doesn't get much better than any Winking Lizard. The food, however, is just average, even for bar food.\n\nI visited on a Saturday afternoon around 3:30/4:00. It was empty, but that didn't last long. By 6:00 the place was packed, and I mean PACKED. People were lining up waiting for a table; to EAT?! It was a bit mind-blowing really, because at the end of the day, I just don't see the draw if you're going there for a bite to eat. \n\nOn the flip side, and as I mentioned, you really can't beat the beer selection. Plenty of different brews on tap, and a plethora of bottle choices. If you're a beer snob, or even if you just like to pretend that you're a beer snob, the Winking Lizard should be on your list of routine stops. \n\nThat said, the service was near deplorability. The first bartender was a nice young girl, but she was only there for the first half-hour or so. She left, and her relief was just a flat-out angry person. I mean, I'm a \"judge not lest you be judged\" type of person; routinely giving people the benefit of the doubt, and can fully respect that she may have just been experiencing a bad day, but she didn't even appear to TRY to be friendly. This wasn't just toward me, but towards everyone at the bar. \n\nI only comment on the service because I have read similar experiences in this regard. I certainly don't have any axe to grind, and it really didn't bother me on a personal level, but it was certainly noticeable. \n\nFinally, the ambiance is typical \"sports-bar,\" with plenty of televisions to view \"the game\" on. The music selection, was also \"typical\" for Cleveland (i.e. an endless loop of AC / DC, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and any other outdated \"classic rock\" artists you can think of), but I can't necessarily fault the establishment for that, that's just Cleveland being Cleveland."^^ .
