Another Lakewood Bar Expanding to Avon Lake

K II Tavern, sister to Kenilworth Tavern, will open in the old McCarthy's II Ale House space.

It’s déjà vu all over again.

It appears another Lakewood drinkery is opening a second location at 33382 Walker Rd. This time around, it’s Kenilworth Tavern opening K II (Kenilworth) Tavern, signage on the building indicates.

Managers and owners at the Lakewood Kenilworth could not be reached for comment. A manager at the Avon Lake location told Patch two weeks ago she expected the Kenilworth II would open within the month.

McCarthy’s II used to occupy the corner space in the Drug Mart plaza until it was abandoned by its owner, Jack Kraddock, in June 2009, according to Sun News. The establishment carried the same name as its sister location in Lakewood, .

“I got a bunch of young thugs who want to go in there and pick up women and I can’t get them out of there,” Kraddock told Sun News at the time.

Kraddock’s decision to close the bar came a few weeks after a hit-and-run accident in the parking lot involving a drunken driver.

Kenilworth Tavern, at 18204 Detroit Ave. in Lakewood, serves burgers, sandwiches, salads and entrees, including blackened grouper and prime rib. Daily specials include domestic drafts, pitchers, imported beer, mussels and wings.
