Noisy, rude – On an average day, just an average dive bar. At least one evening during the summer, they take over the neighborhood until midnight. Hire a bad band to play trash music on amps at a million decibels. If you work in one the nearby office buildings, forget it. The party reaches into your office and prevents you from doing your job. The bar's management knows. And doesn't care. They want to spill out into the street and too bad if you have a reason being there and have reason not to join their beer party that part... read more

Great for burger-eating bar crowd, disappointing for others – Most dishes at the Lizard include meat, and many items are deep fried. Although food is very well prepared, it's usually loaded with fat, salt and calories. It's hard to find dishes there that are not, yet are still good. There are a variety of salads, but they are nothing special. The few cooked veggies offered are overcooked and soggy with an unpleasant taste from the marinade. Because of the high fat content in most dishes, their take-out food does not travel w... read more

Popular sports-style eatery, decent food, close to games, family friendly but loud – First, let me say that this company operates a really tight ship, making them highly successful in a highly competitive market. It's always crowded at lunch, but table turnover is fast. The building is beautiful with nice street views and in a great location near most big downtown destinations. The menu is mostly sandwiches. Daily soup is almost always good, tho too salty or too thick late in the day. Their pizzas are also quite good and fre... read more

This longtime Cleveland favorite caters to a mixed crowd with its many munchies and good beer selection. – In Short Typically, the regular lunchtime and after-work crowd, which can drift into the bad-tie variety, segues into a smaller group of rambunctious night owls. But it's when there's a game that the Lizard really gets slammed. Huge groups of pregame and postgame urban professionals invade to dissect every aspect of the latest game. The music is standard satellite rock, and it's reliably clean and nonsmoky enough for mo... read more

Great all around bar – While visiting Cleveland, I went to the Winking lizard and fell in love. They have hundreds of different beers and a four page food menu. If they opened one in Detroit, I would be there every night.

It rocks! – I've been there three straight years on the night before going to my one and only Cleveland Browns game a year (drive down from Ottawa, Canada...about 8 hours just to see my Browns!) and the place rocks! Great service, fair prices, and so many different types of beer...makes me feel like I'm back home in Canada!

The Lizard Winked – Pam & I stopped before a Tribe game and I got the chicken. It was hot, tender and very juicey. I recommend it to everyone on the east or west side and everyone in the middle. Pie

Go for the Tour – I was just passing through Cleveland and wanted to find a watering hole. The World Tour of beers is great fun and I wish that I could finish all 100 and get the free leather jacket. Good food, great selection of brews, and fun times all around. Highly recommend to anyone.
