Story
Founded by two brothers with a vision
Welcome to Doc Lanky’s, in the heartbeat of Lakewood, where two brothers have come together to create more than just a bar—it's a place where memories are made and friendships are celebrated.
Rooted in the vibrant spirit of Lakewood, we’ve spent most of our lives here, and we wanted to build a spot that truly reflects the warmth and charm of our community. At Doc Lanky’s, we’ve crafted an upscale dive bar experience with a twist. Our menu features mouthwatering Americana classics, made with a touch of sophistication that’s perfect for both a casual bite and a special night out.
But it’s not just about the food and drinks. We’ve designed Doc Lanky’s to be a family-style eatery and cocktail lounge where local friends and family can gather, share stories, and create lasting memories. Whether you’re dropping by for a laid-back evening or celebrating a milestone, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere and a place that feels like home.
Join us at Doc Lanky’s and be a part of our Lakewood family. We can’t wait to share our passion for great food, exceptional drinks, and unforgettable moments with you.
