On almost every Friday & Saturday there is either a DJ playing mostly indie rock (w/ some classic/punk mixed in) or live bands. There is rarely a cover charge for the live music. Sunday is import night, all bottles are $2. They have a shuffle puck table (best bar game ever), foosball & 2 pool tables. Plenty of seating and a very large outdoor smoking patio w/ cornhole.

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. Well aware it is up to owner/management but I also saw them literally turn people away who tried to enter because they didn't have their papers.

We both sat at the bar but I did notice a few tables and chairs. He bought a Jack & Coke (Jack Daniels) and commented that it was good but a bit pricey. I didn't get anything since I don't drink alcohol (but you can find me sipping on white wine, once in a blue moon...haha). The bar itself is nice. It's a small bar. The staff is friendly. The vibes inside is cool - my friend and I spoke with two women while we were in there who were funny. As I entered just after 10pm, I noticed some band members leaving. It would be nice if Brothers Lounge had some live music for the late night crowd (between 10pm to 11:30pm). Overall, this is a cool weekend night spot to checkout. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 124/250 total reviews in 2026 - 965 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 June 2026

What's even better is that even though this is a club. . .a place many people might come to congregate, I've never been here when more than 10 other people were in attendance, which means. Wait for it. You can go to this club, AND maintain your solitude! It's perfect! you can have your gothic cake and eat it too!

The crowd ranges from busy to minimal and we received pretty good service both times. It can be kind of difficult because there are typically 10 of us so I think we typically have to wait a bit, but they do a pretty good job handling us. This place is very divey but still enjoyable. They have an assortment of vintage hanging lamps above the tables and that is my favorite detail. They have had some kind of music going on every time that we go, which I think would be fun if we weren't there for book club. I definitely want to come back here a time when I'm not discussing a book lol but the music is never too loud that we can't have a conversation. We are always here for happy hour and they have some great options. I always end up getting the $5 wine. They also make an excellent girl dinner with their house fries (basically Parmesan truffle fries) and chicken caesar salad. I have gotten this every time and I will continue to get it because it is perfect. I definitely suggest Wine Dive if you're looking for a fun easy place to go for happy hour!

A little elevated, but still a dive. They have a large wine list, including bottles, wine by the glass, and some draft wines. The place is pretty spacious. I believe it encompasses the old El Carnicero restaurant and another bar that must have been next door. Seems like that took down a wall to make a really big spot. They have two bars and a small stage for bands, etc. The real surprise was the food. We just got a few things to snack on and couldn't stop. The sweet chili fried cauliflower was absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best fried cauliflowers that I've had in a long time. It was super crunchy with just the right amount of sauce. It was not soggy at all. We also got the popcorn. I forgot what the seasoning on it was, but it was addictive. Last we got some truffle Parmesan fries. They came with two sauces, one was a spicy mayo and the other I can't remember. Both sauces were great to dip the fries in and the large Parmesan pieces were a delight. Definitely a cool place in Lakewood to host an event or see a show.
