It wouldn't be right if this Lakewood bar left cosmos off its menu, but it's nice to live a little. So belly up to the tiki bar, enjoy the lava lamps and the let Hawaiian Punch Martinis usher you into a booze-soaked night. Watch out, though. The concoction of pineapple, cranberry juice and cherry vodka will sneak up on you.
