Lisska Bar & Grill

This is truly like walking back in time. I like many reviewers have driven by this place tons of times. Just wondering what it was like in there. Well 1 week ago I did it. And since then I have been back 3 times. It seems to be mostly regulars by the second time I went in Mark the owner called me by name. I had a bacon cheese burger 2 Jim beams and cokes and a piece of cake and left paying less than $ 14 bucks. And it was a great burger. Not a gourmet burger but a great old fashion hamburger. Like when I was growing up. They make fresh soups everyday and a special.
The carrot cake is wonderful! I can’t wait to have something but a burger! I went today for the fish and chips but no, got a burger! Lol. If you have ever wanted to experience time travel please go! And you will enjoy.
Let me know!

I’ve driven by this place countless times and finally made the commitment to stop in for a beer. I think I’m in love… A time-​warp experience, to be sure, where Patty’s warm demeanour, quick wit, and first-​class service take you back to another era before computers and mobiles ruined interpersonal communication. The regulars slumped over the antique bar were funny and accepting, providing yet another element to a truly film-​noir experience. Oh, the food? It’s as if I walked into a dictionary definition of «greasy spoon», where the chow is low-​priced, filling, tasty, and prepared for cowboys, truckers, farmers, test pilots, and Soldiers on leave. In other words, it ain’t for tree-​hugging, grass-​eating, sandal wearers. A final word on the décor as, again, you are entering a time capsule: don’t expect video games, high-​def TV with cable access, top-​shelf mixed drinks, circulating air condition, skinny blondes serving up over-​priced libations, and stupid promotions – just enjoy a place where Elvis is still alive and serving up the perfect burger.

A true no frills kind of place. The décor looks straight out of the 60s, and I found the bible stories on the tv a bit off putting. But the service was super friendly, and the beer was cheap. You can have any type of brew you want as long as it’s domestic. I also ordered the potatoes off the grill. The potatoes were pretty good, and my $ 6.65
check was nice too. You’ll also have to deal with some folks coming in to buy scratch offs.

If you want to visit a place that has not changed in decades, stop by Lisska Bar & Grill. With $ 10 or less, you can get a solid meal, a lottery ticket, and a couple drinks. One of my favorite places to stop in on my way home from work.

I haven’t visited this place for about 20 years but sounds like the same ol
is a neighborhood bar or comfort, where regulars meet to chat about their life. It’s the only bar in the hood that has survived all these years. Tartals may have if Tommy had not passed away… after bringing up this bar on a post on facebook, I think I may have to return this weekend for a meal. lol

I love this place. A true neighborhood dive bar. It’s been family owned since 1936 and like the area, it’s seen better days. It’s a beer and shot bar with a great comfort food menu. There are no beers on tap but their cans and bottles are some of the lowest prices you will find and they’re served with a cold glass. I think they only have one shot over $ 2.75 (Ancient Age Bourbon for $ 3.50). The homemade soups and desserts are amazing. I haven’t tried the burgers but every raves about them. I had a bowl of the best homemade vegetable soup, 2 cans of Schlitz (awesome) and a huge slice of homemade coconut cream pie for $ 9.54. Can’t beat this place for an inexpensive meal. Everyone who works here is friendly and welcoming. Most of the patrons are regulars. I wish more people would go to places like this instead of fast food joints and chain restaurants. There aren’t enough places like this left. They don’t take credit cards so bring cash. And bring your friends. Support places like this.

Great home cooked food in a comfy atmosphere… Patty, the hostess, is genuinely warm and service-​oriented.

This place is just weird and I’ve only visited once around 5PM on a weekend with a friend. It’s worth visiting once for the novelty factor. The interior is a pea green and looks unchanged for decades. It’s cash only, none of the bar stools match, there’s a menu with $ 2.00 meatloaf (but the grill area was pristine), the pool table was covered with a large cloth which had an old TV and various National Geographics. Best of all is an old photo of an East Columbus (the name of this neighborhood, which has seen better days) football team. There are no beers on tap (there is no tap) and you can also buy over-​the-​counter pills and lottery tickets. The big art deco sign alone was enough to pull me in.
