definitely one of my favorite Lakewood bars! Unpretentious, decent bar food, friendly staff, cheap beer prices. I'm not so into the "sports bar" atmosphere it frequently has, but when I'm in the mood for some tasty bar food and a quick beer, this is definitely one of my first choices.

It's awesome how we can freely poison our livers at one of the 50 bars in Lakewood but its not ok to have a decent tattoo shop.......

I sense some sarcasm coming from you Jimmy. I do agree with you anyway, that we should be allowed to have a decent tattoo shop or two in Lakewood.

Kind of annoying how you use these stories just to generate hits on your personal blog. If you're going to do the series of stories for Patch, do them FOR PATCH. Stop putting the first paragraph and then linking to an external site for the rest.

Ah, to avoid confusion in the future. I'm doing these stories for my blog. It works best for me to put the introduction paragraph and the link. I'm not paid by Patch.com, so this setup is the most beneficial style for both of us. I'm sorry if this annoys you. If you like my blog but don't like this setup, you can follow it directly from the site or through my Facebook page. I don't get anything by generating hits on my blog either.

William its not sarcasm toward you or your blog. Lakewood is just so backwards sometimes for being such a progressive city. It's ridiculous that there are several places that sell porn and drug paraphernalia bit its bad to have a nice classy tattoo shop.
