"After a long work day, a friend and I, who are working in the city for a few months, decided to visit a tavern within walking distance of our accommodation. As we were on night shift, we finished work at midnight and thought of grabbing some wings and a beer at the tavern. However, when we entered the tavern, a lady there rudely informed us that the kitchen was closed and directed us to another bar on the other side of the house. We complied and went to the other bar, where the same lady then told us that they couldn't serve us because we appeared intoxicated for our safety. We explained that we were just working and hadn't had anything to drink, but the lady seemed unconvinced. Feeling confused and slighted, we decided to leave and return to our room. I later called the tavern and spoke to the manager to explain the situation, but was told that we appeared "bewildered," which was embarrassing. This experience made us feel unwelcome and caused us to reconsider spending our money at this establishment in the future."

Had a really good lunch here, my patty melt was excellent, as was my friend's fish dinner. The space is fun and our server was really excellent.

The spicy garlic wings were excellent, and they had a wonderful variety of beers to choose from. I would rate the food a 4, the service a 4, and the atmosphere a 3.

The Food is what always brings us back! No one has wings like this place! The bourbon barbecue sauce on those wings is absolutely delicious!! Great service as well! We enjoyed taking pictures of Pickles the iguana too!

This restaurant has a lot of questionable individuals working there, most of whom will help themselves to your food. The kitchen staff appear to be unhygienic as well. Be prepared to find items in your meal that you didn't order. View menu

We had a great experience at Winking Lizard last night. The Place was packed, but the manager Mick had it running smoothly. From checking in and getting seated, we had a fantastic time. Popcorn, pizza, wraps, and drinks! Great service and excellent food!

I recently visited Sport in Independence and was impressed by the two large bars and the great service. It's a perfect spot for a happy hour with colleagues. My only suggestion would be to have more options on the menu that cater to low-carb diets, but the buffalo chicken salad with homemade dressing was delicious and satisfying.

we were served by myranda and she was fantastic. she was very fast to get our order and she was just so pleasant and positiw. many people no longer have this type of demeanor in restaurant work place, especially with the pandemic, but it was such a leak to serve by someone who really seemed to love their work. will definitely ask for her if we are next time in the city View menu

This neighborhood tavern is always bustling with a friendly atmosphere and excellent service. The dine-in dinner options range from $20-30 per person, and the food consistently earns a perfect score of 5. The atmosphere also rates a 5, making it a top choice for a casual dining experience. Don't miss out on their recommended dishes, including the complimentary popcorn and delicious sandwiches.

I've been here several times over the years and it's a comfort location as the service is always good, the food is great (especially the wings), and they have a large selection of beer. The most I've waited is about 30 minutes on a warm, sunny day, but that has been the absolute exception. Recommend the garlic bread burger, any of the wings, and a local brew like the Christmas Ale (with the cinnamon rim) or Bumbleberry. Parking is usually plentiful but if the lot is full on a busy day, there are other options right down the road in one of the lots.
