Mondays. Who likes Mondays? I’ll tell you who…we do! Monday nights at the Winking Lizard is a great deal that should not be passed up! Monday nights (and Tuesday nights) are wing nights – 50 cent regular wings and 45 cent boneless wings that you can order in packs of 5. They have tons of award-winning sauce choices as well! They also have a wide variety of beers that you won’t find at your local hole-in-the-wall bar.

If good beer is something you seek to find, Great Lakes Brewing Company is the place to go and support local biz. The brewery was opened in 1988 and is currently celebrating 25 years of brewing delicious beer that is distributed through most of the major cities in the Great Lakes Region. The brewery is located in Ohio City near the corner of West 25th and Lorain Avenue (address: 2516 Market Avenue). The company was founded by the Conway brothers and they brew an assortment of beers from the award-winning taste of Dortmunder to the hoppy-deliciousness of Burning River. They are most well-known for their seasonal Christmas Ale. If you don’t remember whether or not you’ve indulged in a Christmas Ale, have you ever woken up next to an elf and Christmas cookies in places they shouldn’t be? Well, my friend, you’ve had the delight of experiencing an encounter with the dreadful yet delicious Christmas Ale. Check out this link below for a great article on the 25th Anniversary of GLBC.
