Lions & Tigers & Beers

I guess this review is a bit moot, since LTBs is no more.  But I have to say this.

I want to like LTBs.  I really, really do.  I have been going there since they opened and I even worked there for about a year...but the service really kills it, and that was part of the reason that I had to leave.  I couldn't be a member of a team like that, even as a college student and even as just a host.  It was just too embarrassing, especially because I frequently had family and friends come because they wanted to give business to a place that I worked at.

In the 5 or so years since I quit, I have been back about 6 times.  The majority of the time I had to explain to the bartenders how to make my drink (which I suspect they knew how to make, but just didn't want to since the recipe called for more than 2 things).  My drinks usually came back different every time.  

The last time I went to LTBs was close to a year ago, I'm thinking.  I went with my sister.  Bear in mind that there is something written on the doors about a dress code, but it was never explained what that code was, and most people who go there now dress like they're from Ohio and just discovered Aeropostale and PacSun.  My sister and I came in and since all the seats were taken at the bar, we took a seat at the island near to the bar and made eye contact with the bartender, who did not come over.  In fact...no one did.  We waited 15 minutes at least, tried a few times to get the waitresses' attention, and finally we just got up and left.

I have heard that LTBs is rebuilding.  I hope that this is the case, because it had the potential to be one of the only decent bars in Wyandotte - the kind of bar where you actually check your appearance before you head there, the kind where you can stop for a drink after leaving the office, take business clients for lunch, bring your date for a quick dinner on the patio and then take a walk around the park.  But instead it became a breading ground for clueless, talentless waitresses and a management team that was more into hanging out than making things work.

Blackened salmon pita with coal slaw and a cup of chicken tortilla soup mmmm is what I usually order!  They have a good menu for being a bar and I always see families for dinner there also which is awesome because when it becomes night time tables out of the way DJ comes in and its a little night club.

This place is for a certain crowd. If you like Jersey Shore, then you'll love this place. Bunch of over testosteroned d-bags getting into fights.  However, the food is good, and if a good game is on, this is a great place to watch it. To sum it up: at night = D-Bags. Dinner/Lunch = great food and service
