Guide Review - The Winking Lizard - Lakewood

The Lakewood Winking Lizard, the eleventh location of this popular Cleveland-based chain, is located on busy Detroit Road in Lakewood. It’s a unique restaurant, housed in a 1915 Arts and Crafts-style building that once housed the Lakewood Tennis Club and, more recently, the Lakewood Elks Club. Much of the architectural detail has been preserved, including two brick wood-burning fireplaces, an Art Deco-style domed ceiling, and a six-lane bowling alley downstairs. Separate rooms allow families to dine away from the bar crowd. The former stage, located in the bar area, hosts live music on the weekends.

The Winking Lizard is known for its chicken wings (served eleven different ways) and BBQ ribs. Seasonal specials, such as 30-cent wings on Mondays and Tuesdays, make dining here affordable. Pizzas, juicy burgers, and stacked sandwiches complete the menu.

The Winking Lizard Tavern serves over 100 different kinds of beer, many of them on draught. There are drink specials and special prices on the “Beers of the Month.” You can dine outside during the summer months and there’s a private dining room upstairs that can accommodate up to 80 guests.

The bowling alley is open to diners and non-diners alike. Bring the family and enjoy an evening of fun in a classic, historical setting.
