Ideal Sportsbar

Visited ideal Sportsbar on yesterday. Was a homegirls birthday and it was the closest place to where we were. The food was good. Just regular sports bar food. The bathrooms were clean. The service was great! Kayla our Server and bartender was amazing. Very personable and friendly. It was like hanging out with a girlfriend. Todd was also our server he was so sweet and attentive. They had Karaoke which was a lot of fun. It had a “Cheers” like feel, where everybody knows your name. I definitely plan on going back.

There's something about this place that feels like home. Angie and Todd were friendly and welcoming. The other customers were chatty and entertaining. Closest place to "Cheers" in real life. Food was also amazing! Pool tables for those of you who play. I highly recommend

I visited this bar tonight for the 3rd time. For a Wednesday night it was great. I really enjoyed the hospitality and everyone was so hospitable. This is a nice place to visit.

A huge low key honey hole, went for the first time an the vibe/atmosphere is unmatched very friendly and homey vibe. The bartender is very nice and funny and friendly down to the staff the food IS HOT AND FRESH …. They are not stingy on the shots and beers are ICE COLD. this will be my new beer thirty chill spot

A staple hole in the wall off of Lakewood. This place has been here for 40 years and isn’t going anywhere soon. The chicken philly is the best in town. Also, they’ve started doing karaoke on Friday nights

Good place with good people. A little off the beaten path but that’s where you find some of the best spots. This is one of them.

If you’re ever in town for a concert at the Lakewood Amphitheater and looking for a place to eat, this is it. The people were so nice and the food was amazing. They called you by first name and made you feel welcome. Even the locals would come by your table and speak to you. By far best place in the area.

It is a real low key chill spot. The bartender and cook are very friendly. Fun Monday night they have karaoke.

Tldr; dive bar food, eclectic mic of people and fantastic bar staff. Great dive bar, super friendly people. The bar staff are truly the best: hilarious, witty, don't take no bull, and are always ready to talk when you need an ear. Just like the old days. The patrons are a mixed bag of all kinds from all parts of the city and state. You can always find a fun time and someone to talk to here without breaking the bank. And the food is good old fashioned comfort bar food, but I mostly recommend the wings and the mozzarella sticks if you need to soak up some of that alcohol.

Great Dive bar. Best hot wings in the city. Hot Todd their cook is awesome. We love Wednesday with Christy
