This is the type of beer bar that you want down the street from your house!!! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, and all have worked for the Lizard for many years prior to working at this location. On tap, they rotate through beers that one doesn't normally see, including beers from places like Pizza Port, Avery, Bear Republic, and many others. Also, they bring in brewers to meet and greet along with their beer (Bells, Stone, Victory, Founders, to name a few) so be sure to check their calendar. You can also get a growler of the beers on tap.

On top of that, they also have about 400 different bottles beers from around the world arranged according to the BJCP style guidelines. Some beers are kept in a cooler behnd the bar, but their glycol chiller will get any beer you pick off the shelf down to temp in no time.

Their food selection is what you might expect at a wine bar - cheese, crackers, meats, veggies. All very good and well suited to the beers and whiskey's that they serve. They do sell cigars that you can sit back and enjoy on the patio either at the bar or in one of their Adirondack chairs.

Needless to say, I have been there many times and will continue to long into the future.

Very interesting tap room concept focusing on microbrews, whiskey and cigars. The bar has about 20 beers on rotating taps. When I visited it was more foreign beer heavy. However, the store also has about 400 beers organized among 20 categories. Any beer in the store can be purchased and cooled within 5 minutes. Prices in general were quite reasonable, as they are priced more like a grocery/liquor store rather than a per bottle price at a bar. They also have about 50 of the bottles pre-chilled. Pretty much any beer you can buy in Ohio can be obtained here. Specialty beers, new releases (Epic Brewing was just released in Ohio - they had 4 options), and as usual for Winking Lizard locations, lots of foreign options.



Also have a varied whiskey/bourbon selections including tasters, short and tall pours. Outside patio for cigars.


Servers were all very helpful, knowledgeable and listened to options for beers they don't currently carry.

They have a very limited appetizer menu, but you can walk next dorr for the regular Winking Lizard restraurant and their 100 beers in bottles.
