Is there a bar scene in Lakewood?

I wouldn't call it a "scene" -- that's what LoDo is for. But there are a lot of good, local bars. The Baker Street Pub in Belmar is usually hopping on weekends. The Lakewood Grill is a great old-school option -- I remember going there for burgers when I was a kid. (My grandparents owned a bar, so they loved going to good local joints whenever they could.) Greenfields is popular with the pool players.
