Much needed cocktail bar in West Portal. Great cocktails and service with friendly bartenders and the inside establishment is very nice. I hope The Sherwood will stay for many years of the quality keeps up.

As such a good time at The Sherwood in West Portal. Great drinks, super friendly bartenders, and the bar itself is very cool. Definitely my new favorite place to go for a downtown vibe and great cocktails.

DO NOT SUPPORT! MICROAGRESSIVE BARTENDER. When checking out, the bartender asked me if my glow was because I’m pregnant. “Or are you just an Asian girl who had one drink.” Followed by a “where are you from”. And “only a Jew would refuse a drink. I can say that because I’m Jewish.” Really want to like this place. Left feeling completely offended and disrespected. Take a lesson on DEI. It is 2023. I believe his name was Ari. Worked Thursday night 9/7. Also, no live music which is why we came.

Drinks are really nice and it has such a cozy atmosphere, perfect for date night or drinks with friends, even by yourself it's a vibe. Bartenders were very happy to recommend dinner around the area

Delicious cocktails, and they always have fantastic seasonal options. Great ambience and one of the cleanest bar bathrooms I've ever seen. Bar tenders are always helpful and friendly. The spring Plum Rum was just so tasty I probably had two too many. :)
Incredible! The staff hosting my teams after party so we'll- couldn't imagine a better place for us to go. Great drinks, cool vibe, overall a great experience!Lida was the BEST!

Beautiful bar, delicious cocktails and great bartenders. That's pretty much all I need in a bar.

Update! I have to deduct a star since I went here over the weekend on Saturday and it took a while to get our drinks since there was only one bartender working that night. I was able to try 3 different drinks (Chai Bumblebee, The Seacliff, and the Strawberry ginger mule) they were all lacking in flavor and didn't leave a good taste in my mouth. The strawberry ginger mule didn't taste like strawberry at all- it felt so watered down. Not sure if it's the bartender who made the drinks or if it's the drinks itself that were bad especially since the last time I was here I enjoyed what I had. Might be time to update the menu with other drink options.

Intimate and great drinks. We loved chatting with our bartender.
