Drinks are priced the way a lodge bar should be, well below what you would pay at a standard Woodward Avenue spot, with a rotating selection of beer, cocktails, and spirits. The kitchen turns out classic bar food, burgers, wings, and the kind of plates that pair well with a cold drink and a game on the screen.\n\nBeyond the daily bar operation, the lodge hosts a packed events calendar. Live entertainment, themed bingo nights, fundraisers, and sports watch parties cycle through the schedule regularly.\u2026",
