Game On Lakewood

Great bar. They have a lot of TVs and a great patio. perfect for game days.

We live right near this place and desperately want to love it since we work late and their kitchen stays open, but all the bartenders hate their job and their customers. We have been in 4 different times, 4 different days of the week and had the same experience each time– Bartender comes over, tosses coasters, doesn’t say hello, and grabs drinks without a word, then disappears. It’s a shame because the location and layout of the place are great, but other reviewers are 100% right, stay away, go to the Plank Road Tavern, which is the runaway best spot in Lakewood, and let this place run its course until something decent takes over. I genuinely can’t believe it has lasted as long as it has. I would rather go to work than take a free paid day off if it was under the condition that I had to go to Game On.

Game On! A great location with lots of big televisions! AND THAT’S IT!
The food has cute names, but most often left most things to be desired. They very obviously hired talented male bartenders, but chose the ladies based on looks, I think. The last bartender we had was so concerned about being a hipster. Her glasses were so thick-​framed she couldn’t see us sitting at the bar for, like, 8 minutes. She never smiled at us until we were BEGGING for our check after waiting for our food that she forgot to ring in and giving up at the chance of getting a second drink.
That was just one bartender one time. The other four experiences were comparatively miserable, included more depressed bartenders, and one time ordering food, waiting 15 minutes, then being told that the kitchen was closed. Yeah. It’s that bad.
I live right across the street. A 2-​minute walk. I’d rather walk 10 minutes or pay to take a Lyft to go to ANY bar to avoid this bar.
I hope it closes then re-​opens as a T.G.I.Friday’s.

If you want to enjoy the televisions and pool tables you should just wait a few months until this place closes and a new one that has capable management takes its place.

I wish I would have read these reviews before we picked a place to eat:(my husband and I had a date night, live close and want this place to succeed but it’s a disaster. On every single level. It took over an hour to get a wrap and chicken strips. Not sure how this is even possible since there were about 5 people in the place. Ugh. Could be something… but isn’t.

Me and a group of guys went there around 1:30 on a Saturday afternoon. We were looking to get some lunch and a couple beers, it looks like they have a great patio with some pool tables and a bubble hockey machine. We walked in and asked if we could sit on the patio, but as we approached the bar there were two guys just completely hammered drunk. They were obnoxious and followed us to the patio. We figured they would just go back to the bar so we ordered some drinks but they kept hanging around. One of us walked in and asked the bartender to see if they could do something but all she said was «they aren’t going to leave.» Well that made our decision easy and we decided to leave. It was I tough to understand why they wouldn’t just ask the guys to settle down or leave but instead they lost 5 paying customers looking to order food and beers… tough to say I would go back…

There are a few times in my life when I take the time o write about a bad experience, but this place needs to be put out there. The staff is absolutely horrendous! It’s not hard to put on a smile and take a person’s order, but apparently it is for this place. I ordered a burger that came out very undercooked! I didn’t even eat it for fear of mad cow disease! When I was finally able to order my drink, my first sip made me almost vomit! I don’t believe anyone in this place has any experience! To add to the disappointment, the management regarded my complaints with a «don’t let the door hit you on the way out!» Will never be going back here, so I suggest you don’t either!

Had high hopes for this spot. Right around the corner from my apt. But yeah, you can’t get a drink in here, even when bar is mostly empty and there are more bartenders than patrons. Tried it twice! Both times staff was rude– like we were putting them out. The wings were super shitty. Small, overpriced, overcooked. When we asked for ranch, you would have thought we asked the girl for a huge personal favor. Awesome that it came quite awhile later. You want cold wings with that? I honestly didn’t even wanna rip the bartenders since they acted like they were so annoyed and ignored us so many times. I did, but reluctantly.
Come on now! You have a prime spot, great setup and you have lame bartenders and shitty food? Just because you think they look cute in their mid-​drift t-​shirts? This place is going the way of the ‘Stache.
Giving it a star for the awesome tvs and setup. And I would give more points for the great beers on tap, but when no one is serving them, who cares?

Fun atmosphere, tons of tvs with sports on, good crowd on a Saturday evening. But… good luck getting a drink. there were plenty of pretty girls behind the bar that walked right by while I’m calling out for a refill. What I mostly didn’t like was the type of crowd… a lot of cocky guys walking around, bumping into you and not a sorry or even a look back to acknowledge you. A little courtesy and service would go a long way for this place. So if you are a twenty something muscle head looking for fresh meat… this is your place!

Stopped in with a friend on Sunday to watch the game. The person making drinks (it would be a disservice to refer to her as a Bartender) was the rudest person I have ever encountered behind a bar. I ordered two drinks, a Jameson and a vodka. She promptly poured two vodkas and proceeded to argue with me that I had ordered wrong. I patiently explained that I only drink jameson and that that is what I had ordered and requested that she correct the order. She began yelling and pointing and screaming for me to never come in again and that I would never get another drink from her again. The barback came over and took an agressive stance and began yelling at me as well. I politely explained that the rude female had made a mistake and was being inappropriate. At some point, several management types came over and sent the female drink mistaker into the kitchen after I observed her downing a second shot of fireball since my arrival. I cashed out and though I deeply wanted to zero out the credit card, tip line, I left a tip because there were several other bartenders working that had been polite and were working hard. My friend and I left. The manager applogized halfheartedly and allowed me to pay my full tab and leave a very unhappy customer. On the way to my car, the barback came out onto the street and was overheard calling the police to report my driving. A Lakewood officer veered around the corner and followed me for several blocks. It wasnt a problem because I had only had the two rather weak drinks and he peeled off shortly.
Along with the two managers, I also discovered the owner was present and witnessed much of this. Collectively, none of them handled or controlled a situation that never should have happened. If I could give the place zero stars I would. A simple mistake that was pointed out politely was greeted with agression and hostility. Certainly myself and a fairly large group of friends who have been looking for a new meeting place will not be returning.

Read the not recommended reviews. The food is terrible and the staff has bad attitudes.

Opened a «yelp» account just to review this place. Bf and I ordered a beer, a shot and burgers. When I came back from the bathroom, my beer was replaced by water and the bartender/​manager was talking about me to a coworker. Juvenile behavior. We got our burgers to go and left. The burgers were gray and tasteless. Awful food. Awful service. Can’t wait to see what follows it in a couple months. Game off lakewood. And apparently they hide their bad reviews rather than focusing on fixing their issues.

The selection was great overall a nice bar. But after a drink and a shot I said something along the lines of I hope this drink doesn’t cost me $ 11 and the bartender placed my drink in front of me and said «I’m going to have to cut you off». She then pulled the drink and put it behind the bar. Which I respected. New bar trying to be strict or whatever they want to say to justify it. I went to the next bar down the street who served me happily. What I can’t tolerate is my friends telling me that such bartender was talking badly about me after I left where they could hear her. And she also re-​served my drink to somebody else. They then left and met me down at the other bar with a message from the other bartending working to apologize for the behavior of the other bartender.

Came in for grand opening. I had a great experience. Place looks nice. I wasn’t in here when it was the Stache. So I don’t know what upgrade they did. The patio area looks like a great summer spot with the garage doors open. Bunch of tvs with game packages. Spring games were on. Decent beer selection. GLBC, Sweet Water, Left Hand etc. on draft. prob about 30 diff bottles.
Amber was bartending. She was great and the manager was more than willing to come answer my questions about the menu. Ended up ordering a cheeseburger. The burgers are on the menu as a steak burger. I would agree that they are. The meat was under-​seasoned. But I wasn’t missing it. The meat was very flavorful and extremely juicy. Good fat content. Got a total of 8 steak fries. Would have liked 10 but My belly won’t complain about that.
So I ordered. Single order of tots. With a side of spicy mayo. Nice amount of tots and the spicy mayo was on point. Pretty sure it was just mayo and cajun seasoning, none the less it was tasty and complimentary to the tots.
They have some kinks to work out, but it was day 1. So, definitely one of the better grand openings I’ve been too, so five stars. ill be back.
