5 reviews for Winking Lizard Tavern
Comfortable environment, good food, friendly staff, large bar but also nice, separate dining area.
HUGE beer selection - one of the best you'll find. Great wings and other misc food de americana. I would personally stay away from the Taco Salad - below average but their chili is quite good as well.
After my couple business trips to OH, I didn't really realize that there are actually bars near the hotel - nonetheless a bar that appeals to the younger ones.
A few of us gathered for some drinks and food before a bunch of us had to fly back to our respective homes. It's your typical bar - drinks and everything with your typical bar food - wings, sandwiches, salads.
I had a beer and gyro for the night - both delicious. The service was ok and could be improved, but it was a bit busy that night.
I'll definitely come back if I'm in town for business - as long as the company is good.
The most exciting part about the Winking Lizard is that it's the first restaurant I've seen anywhere near my hotel that's not a chain.
Oops, turns out it is a chain. Just an Ohio one I've never heard of. Too bad.
Food was decent, I was actually a very big fan of my Cajun Cobb Salad which was huge and had great ingredients (mmm, big chunks of avocado, perfectly cooked bacon, and gorgonzola.) Wings and other meals at the table were just alright. Ok outdoor patio, and I wish I wasn't working so I could have enjoyed the beer selection they tout. Overall not particularly special, but given the limited options in this area I may be back in the next few weeks.

Return trip today... had a pretty tasty turkey sandwich. I got a better look at the beer menu and it is pretty extensive and fairly cheaply priced (though I'm used to the big city cost of drinking so that may not be an accurate assessment). They've got a good list of nightly specials, too. Inside dining is not nearly as pleasant an atmosphere as the patio though, so save your visit for good weather.
WL is good, loud, fun. Nothing all that special, but they stick to the classics and they do them well. Sandwiches, burgers, wings make up 90% of the menu. They have a great beer selection, with a lot of brews I've never heard of. Definitely try the Tour of Beers if you live in the area, its a lot of fun. Service is standard, like everything else there. We like to go and visit Erma, their live-in iguana. (It wouldn't be called Winking LIZARD if there wasn't a lizard there, right?)
Good Food Great Drinks. Decent number of TVs to watch sports. Can't ask for much more.
