T-shirts and Tater Tots

Lakewood Village Tavern: My new neighborhood dive bar hang-out. Bored with the usual $2 food specials at Malloy’s and tired of the typical west-end Lakewood nightlife, K “had an epiphany” and pointed us east on Madison Avenue. Friendly, talkative crowd (a little hung-up on some country standards this night in particular) and an even more pleasant staff. We had the opportunity to hang with the owner for a few and were presented with shots complimentary of our new-found friendship with the bartender(s). Did you know there was an Espresso Vodka? It makes a fantastic coffee-tasting shot. Watch out for those “Next-beer’s-on-me cups” with the LVT written on the bottom — which took us long enough to realize they were the initials of the bar, but we played a fun game of name-that-acronym (LaVagaTarian?). FKA, beer goggles. Melbeergoggles Strangely enough, the longer we sat at the bar, the more kept appearing. I took one home, so the next drink’s on me!

We talked Jeff, the bartender into changing t-shirts with of the girls. Which is better, the bartender wearing a t-shirt 8 times too small or my friend wearing his that reads: here’s to hot chicks? (cheers, bitches *clink*)
Next trip, I have to ask how I can acquire a beer carrier complete with all the condiments you need for an empty fridge. That would be the ultimate housewarming gift.

Menu selections range from your typical “something-cent” buffalo wing specials to pierogis (which I’m definitely eating next time around). I think I remember seeing grilled cheese too. Be sure to check the menu specials’ board. Choice of potato: mine was tater tots. When was the last time you could get a basket of tater tots? By far, the best while-drinking-draft-beer bar food. Went especially well with my buffalo chicken wrap (with extra extra bleu cheese). S’s burger was the size of a 7-year-old-child’s-head! 3 people with drinks and food – $40? Can’t beat that. Just play a Michael Jackson tune for me on the juke, will ya? Don’t look at me like that…
