The Lodge

Great atmosphere if you need a bar that's great for watching football, attentive to the patrons, efficient, a large draft beer selection and some killer food... then this is your place in Ballantyne. I've been coming here for around 3 years now and everytime i am shocked just how efficient Eric and his staff are behind the bar. Always treated great, never sit wondering when someone is going to come, and always leave full and satiated. Since we moved away some, it was a pleasure getting to come back and have a killer Bison burger!

The Lodge is our local bar and grill in Colony Place. The atmosphere is classic sports bar with an area inside for live music on select nights. The bar can feel cramped because it’s always packed and the bartenders are cool and make stiff drinks. Golden Tee is in the entry way if you need to do some gaming. The food and service are fine. On most visits you’ll end up with multiple runners and servers taking orders, bringing food and closing out a tab. It’s controlled chaos but it works. We’ve tried most of the menu. The burgers and sandwiches are our favorite things to order. The wing options are plenty and come in various amounts. A sneaky good app are the shrimp baskets with cocktail sauce. It’s on our regular rotation. They do offer nightly specials. Meatloaf Monday is our favorite and if they have a Fried Bologna sandwich grab it. Parking isn’t bad in Colony but it can be hard to find a spot near The Lodge due to other restaurants in the immediate vicinity. If it’s packed park down by Walgreens. It’s only a quick walk away. Overall, it’s a great family-friendly atmosphere to watch a game. Food is good enough and staff is super friendly. There’s plenty of outside seating if the inside is packed. Expect a wait on weekends at peak times. It’s our best local spot for a beer and burger. Enjoy.

This is a really great locals spot that has been around for several years near my parents’ place. We always come here, staff are great. Menu is pretty extensive - pub food, solid quality and reasonable prices. Food and refills come out quickly. Bar becomes busy on weekends and sometimes there is live music. Burgers/ sandwiches are great as are the wings and ribs on the rib special night especially.
