Frank & Tony's

Before reading, know this, FAT's is perfectly safe, its clean, and by no means does my review reflect the inside decor of this place.  I would go there 5 days a week if I didn't live 15 minutes away and if they would just have a friendlier bar crowd after hours and a more attentive bar staff.  

That said, keep reading.

3 stars for the $1.25 happy hour beer specials and the long bar that allows you to find a seat during.  I have had their pizza and it is good.  I also dig the free popcorn.  Some of the wait staff are sssllllllooowwww and it seems that they ignore you if they do not recognize you as a regular or it could be that the staff is unable to withhold more then one or two beer orders in their head before forgetting.  Don't know, its annoying, but the beers are cheap.

It does get pretty full at night with younger kids and some semi goth types.  The music later at night is something that you wouldn't find on any local radio stations or on ANY of my cd's / mp3's.  Its a slightly lighter version of death music like suicidal tendencies or sepeltura but a tad harder then Metallica, regardless, that too is annoying.

On a high note, they do have daily specials like AYCE crab, $5 pizza, $.25 wings, etc.  I just am never there past 8 on the weekday to enjoy these specials.  Wings were OK when I had them once and a bearded, 75 year old man sitting next to me had a sausage sandwich that looked pretty good.

Go for the beer.....then do yourself a favor and move on to a finer establishment in downtown Willoughby.

Not so great. I've been here a couple times and I'm not sure why I went back after the first visit. One of the bartenders was really short and rude with me for no reason. The outside bar would be nice potential bonus expect you feel like you're in a tiny metal cage with the smokers.

Lot of bar seats at the bar and casual, but there are so many better places to visit in Willoughby.

Saturday was a birthday bar crawl for my pa in law(or as i now refer to him, Glam-Pa). It was dusk as we went out to the patio at this usually obnoxious teen bar.(whoops, i mean 21 and over) . There were maybe three people out there. Very serene.
I ordered a plastic bathtub of sunset wheat, because apparently you can't get a standard pint at shit bars anymore. Ten minutes later every a-hole in Willoughby showed up. A dick in zombie makeup, a bachelorette party and other assorted aggressive alpha male chumps. I was forced to chug my tub so that we could get the hell out of there. Maybe it's because i was hanging with 55 year old men. They have no patience for that stuff. Me, i could have hung around a little longer. Oh well. I used to have fun here when i was 25.

One thing i liked was they were using a flat screen to display pictures of patrons from nights past. Doesn't sound original, but i've never seen it in action before. Maybe they'll have a picture of me frowning on there.
