I ordered from a delivery service. Lion’s Lair paid careful attention to my note/special instructions and followed them perfectly. They even packed up a couple small candies with my order - a fun little touch. Thank you!!! I had the Haas burger, it was delicious.

Picked up some to-go tonight. We needed vegan food and have been wanting to try Lion’s Lair. It was SOOOO GOOD! The fried green beans were amazing. The waffle fries were seasoned so perfectly, and the ranch and fry sauce were fantastic (although the fry sauce was my favorite!) We got BBQ cauliflower bites, and they were good as well. The vegan grilled cheese was really yummy too! It was ready for pickup right on time! We will be back 3

On the 8th Annual BoozeRun 2018, stopped in to collect our Pin at the Lion's Lair, 9th stop of 9. Smaller Bar, smaller crowd, had a DJ tonight, pool table, darts, and a Touch Tunes Juke Box. Seems to be a place where regulars gather with room for about 85 on two different floor levels. Pool table is in the back on the second floor for a little more privacy and less interruption while playing a game or two...

Went in after a 10 hour shift in the sun, I was NOT disappointed. The atmosphere, the staff, the food... Everything was wonderful. EXACTLY what was needed to wind down and cool off. I had the burger/sausage combo (Das Drip) and was blown away. I seriously considered actually licking the plate clean. Would strongly recommend!

Super cozy vibes! I say that because it is quite small, my only drawback. However, with that being said, the atmosphere makes up for it plenty! The drag performance is on point, very inclusive and high energy! I have only been once, tonight, but as someone who is skeptical of visiting other bars than my home bar, this place is a welcome change for sure. Drinks are yummy, but be warned this is one of those bars that will give you a trashcan without the rest of the red bull, much like the knitting factory. Not a problem, as it's less to carry, but I know people out there have their preferences. I haven't tried their food yet, but I'll be sure to come back and sample some goodies! Make sure to order a sweet tart while you're here, they're super yummy!!

Caught a solid DJ set on a random Wednesday. Great sound and light system especially considering it’s not that large of a location. Staff was friendly and the bar is clean.

Ordered the Master Splinter with Mac and cheese bites... This was my first time trying this place. I must say, I was NOT disappointed! My new favorite!
