"Let me begin by saying that I was very excited when I heard that they would be moving the Rocky River Lizardville to the basement of the Lakewood Winking Lizard.. I live in Lakewood so that meant it would be much closer to me and it seemed that nobody used the bowling alley in the basement anyway, so it made sense! \n\nHowever, I was a tiny bit disappointed when they opened this location. Many of the things that I loved about Lizardville are still here: Great bottle selection/ build your own 6 pack option, amazing whiskey selection, very solid draft beers and an option to fill a growler, delicious beer cheese dip and awesome staff. This is enough to keep me coming back and I absolutely still recommend this place. It's seat yourself and has a much more bar like vibe than Winking Lizard. Very fun environment and I always had a good time at the Rocky River one so I expect a similar experience in Lakewood (I have been to the new location once so far and had a good time). \n\nThat said, they changed the menu and I am let down by the changes. Lizardville had delicious flatbreads and a veggie burger. Note that Winking Lizard, located UPSTAIRS, also serves a veggie burger. However, Lakewood Lizardville.. no veggie burger? And no more flatbreads - they've been replaced by the same pizzas you can order at Winking Lizard, which are pretty good but not nearly as good as those flatbreads were! I understand that they're trying to be efficient - they have the supplies for pizza so they might as well put that on the menu instead of something else - but I am probably not going to be eating dinner at Lizardville anymore personally. I'm a vegetarian and don't feel like this menu is nearly as diverse as it was before, nor do I understand the point of removing the veggie burgers from the menu when they clearly stock them upstairs! \n\nAnyway, like I said, i still think this place is awesome, I just wish they wouldn't have made so many menu adjustments. Many people might not care about them but I was bummed. I'll mostly be coming here just to drink and I'll snack on the beer cheese because I will say again that it's DELICIIOUS. I just don't care as much for the menu as a whole anymore. It used to be a step above Winking Lizard and they've basically brought it down to the same level, which is basically just decent bar food. Good but not amazing."^^ . "0"^^ . .
