It was my first experience at this bar and it's been around for decades. I had heard of it and many…read morefriends have been there, but when one of my favorite local cover bands was going to play there I decided it was time. I reached out to the place ahead of time because I saw on their website. They have a VIP section that you can reserve ahead of time for 100 bucks so I did that. Chris, the manager, was super helpful via text Message in helping me plan the evening. Their drinks were reasonable and the space was perfect for listening to this band. Food wise it's a challenge. The bar doesn't have a kitchen, rather they rely on sweet basil to deliver food next-door. Sweet basil has wonderful pizza and food however, on a Saturday night they closed at 8 PM. That's not the bar's fault, but it's something to be aware of if you plan on going to eat there.

My friends and I came here last Saturday night to check out a live band. It seems like this bar…read moreoften has life music and it had a very fun vibe when we came in. However, they had packed so many people into this bar that we could barely enter the door. Moving from one side of the bar to the other, we had to weave in and out, shoulder to shoulder, and could barely move. I would have liked to have stayed, but there was no way I was going to enjoy myself being that packed in. I fully believe that the bar was at full capacity or possibly over which isn't safe. They do have a large parking lot, but it was over full as well. I would give this place another try, on a different night. The crowd was mainly people in their 50s and 60s, but that was probably because of the type of band that was playing that night. I didn't get a drink, because I couldn't even get to the bar. We stayed about 15 to 20 minutes.

My wife and I stopped in to stress eat, that's what we do... Our go-to food is wings and we've read…read morereviews of the rusty barrel that said they had good ones. First off, I nice little neighborhood bar, good setting, and some of the booths have their own little tv so you can watch stuff up close and personal. We didn't have to wait long for the wings, which were a decent size by the way. We ordered three flavors; their award winning Cajun bbq, pepper garlic, and the hot buffalo. I am not a huge fan of bbq on chicken in general but these were pretty good I'm not going to lie. The Parmesan wings were very flavorful and had the potential to be mind blowing but it wasn't unfortunately. The flavor was spot on but unfortunately being a dry rub it was as pleasant of a mouth feel. If they had somehow made that flavor into a sauce it would blow minds. Also the hot wings were good as usual. Kinda hard to not make a good classic hot wing. :) In all a pretty good experience but could use some improvement.

They were on the sweeter side but YUMMY! Of course we had to try the tendies and snack wraps. Both very good! The snack wraps are big so definitely shareable. Tendies are also big! I also love that the tendies come with sides and sauce! The pink ranch was good. Buffalo sauce tasted identical to Frank's Red Hot. I was not a fan of the coleslaw, I think it is the type of mayo they used that caused a strange taste, but probably just a preference issue! Service was on point and attentive. Yelp did NOT eat first because we were all hungry so I missed out on pics BUT will be back for a fun night out and snackies here!

This was during Covid on two separate occasions where this establishment and its staff were absolute militant about masking up between bites and drinks. Someone (not with me) stood up without masking up on another occasion and was called out loudly by two staff. Not to mention you also had to show proof of vaccine to even enter this place. Pretty sure this was the only place in Lakewood requiring this.

I should note first that if you're not partial to loud metal music, then a viking bar like LBM is not the right place for you. Otherwise, highly recommend coming to check out the macabre and tongue-in-cheek decor, cocktails, and food. All seating is first come first serve, and your best bet is to come with one other person and sit at the bar, where you can still enjoy their food menu. And watch whatever cult classic movie they're playing on the TV behind the bar. Employees were all friendly and quirky (in the best way) and happy to answer any questions. Menu changes seasonally, but I have to say my favorite dish I've had there is the bone marrow which came with frightfully good jam and bread. Don't sleep on this.
