The Sherwood Cocktails & Lounge in West Portal is a cozy, friendly spot known for its great cocktails and welcoming service. It offers a relaxed, lounge-like atmosphere that stands out from typical Irish pubs nearby. The bar has a good selection of drinks, including handcrafted cocktails that change with the seasons, offering fruity and bright profiles in spring and summer, and darker, heavier options in fall and winter. Visitors especially enjoy the fireplace seating and the friendly bartenders, who are known for being nice, funny, and engaging.
While the cocktail menu has become slimmer, the remaining options are interesting and complemented by a variety of spirits, beers, wine, and mocktails. The Happy Hour menu, available Tuesdays through Thursdays from 4-6 pm and all day Sunday, includes some tasty cocktails like Spiced Ginger Mule and Tommy’s Margarita. Customers appreciate the staff’s ability to recognize regulars and create a warm, inviting environment.
Overall, The Sherwood remains a hidden gem in the neighborhood, offering a cool downtown vibe with cozy seating, ample parking, and attentive bartenders. It’s a favorite for those looking for a chill night out and a place that feels both special and comfortable.
