43 Best Bars near Westfield

“Mill Tavern in Westfield has all the feel of a neighborhood pub and size enough to accommodate large groups. The menu covers the gamut of usual pub food from wings and nachos, through sandwiches and wraps, burgers and fish & chips, and even salads and soups.

While they have lots of variations on staples, such as jelly on a burger, the question I had was can they do the basics right. In a word, yes.

I ordered “The Boss”, which is basically a chicken sandwich or burger with a choice of two toppings from an extensive list. I chose a burger with grilled onions and grilled green peppers. I received a bar burger par excellence, a perfectly browned outside with a softer meaty inside. I upgraded from chips to the Tavern Fries (seasoned steak fries) which again were perfection, crispy on the outside and creamy smooth on the inside.

Recommendations from my friends (which I didn’t taste), included the wings, the cole slaw, the beef & vegetable soup (soup of the day), and the California Chicken Club.

Service was great and they happily modified the orders with special requests. Its main drawback is that is so popular – kidding – it’s the acoustics. It can get quite loud. So, if you don’t mind boisterous and love good food, put Mill Tavern on your list.“

“My husband and I stopped by last weekend on our kid-free day to check out the cigar lounge. We were immediately greeted by staff (cannot remember the gentleman’s name) and I told them this was our first time. He walked us through the whole process, made us feel comfortable and like we were friend’s we haven’t seen in years! The gentleman recommended the best cigars, told us to go sit down and they would handle the rest… super friendly staff, clean establishment. My husband and I will most definitely be back!“

“3/4 of the staff are competent, timely, personable, and courteous. Food's more than adequate for a neighborhood watering hole. It *is* pretty bright in there all the time but I imagine that's due to the issues inherited from before (🤷).“

“The food, drinks, and staff are incredible! The restaurant is so clean! There is plenty of family seating and the bar is massive and comfortable. Great margaritas!!“

“Absolutely amazing people“

“Great food for a fair price“

“Visited Sun King Carmel on a Sunday early evening. First visit at the ‘food court’ so a bit wandering and chaotic. There should be a court monitor stationed at a desk 1st floor middle of seating area right outside fenced area entrance from food court to access Sun King mostly to screen / prevent minors from entering the restricted area but didn’t know you could sit at a table in the general seating food court area and a Sun King server would visit to take your order as I just walked up to the Sun King bar counter and ordered myself unwittingly. Problem would be is likely a bit of a wait if I hadn’t self-ordered as it took about 10-15 minutes after I was seated for a server to check on my status after I sat at a table. But, the tab runs and the bartender tracks/forwards your order to the server and they finally track you down ultimately to pay the bill before you depart.

In the meantime, can partake the food court vendors for specialty cuisines yourself. Order and pick up food yourself and take to your table. If you can find a clean table top, as even though the food court wasn’t bysy, the tables weren’t all clean.

So Sun King has a limited variety on tap. The Osiris Pale Ale is mild not bitter so good and drinkable. But the Orange Vanilla Cream Ale is flavored similar to children’s orange aspirin icky I would not order it again.

Counter bar tender accommodating and server polite and courteous. Did check on me frequently after finding me seated.

Anyways if your first visit might be confusing the order delivery seating process. But go get it yourself or sit at a table and wait a bit and hope a server tends to you in a reasonable amount of time.“

“Our first time here, short wait time, our waitress was great but the food! It was delish plus and so fresh tasting… I recommend the sweet potato chips and made fresh to order guacomole… we had the street tacos, chicken with mango salsa and spiced street corn ! It’s an hour and a half drive but one we will make again!“

“Visiting our old stomping ground for our Forum reunion.“

“It’s exactly the way I’ve always dreamed of a local place. Traci, the owner, comes by and recommends a drink. She tells you the story of the musician that is playing tonight. Her husband, Brian, is behind the bar and pouring himself another wine. He doesn’t want to chat like Traci does, but he is fussing over the food menu. Making sure it is perfect. Helping the musician make sure the sound is right. People keep bustling in and out from the neighborhood. You recognize them, clasp their hand and act like you remember their name. You will get it next time. The musician is amazing. This time it’s a guy with an epic mustache, a keyboard and he has 1032 songs that he can sing. Last time you came it was a woman with a guitar with an amazing voice. Before that it was a jazz duo with a saxophone. They are playing your requests between original songs. You can’t believe this place is real. It’s like you’ve always imagined. Like you always wanted. The food is good. The bartenders are friendly and know their craft. Your friends show up and Traci asks the people next to you at the bar if they can move over one seat to let them sit next to you. They join in the conversation and you recognize them the next time you come in. It’s simply amazing. Live music every Friday and Saturday and other days for events. Love this place. Can’t recommend it enough.“

“Awesome place with great service highly recommended“

“Delicious Sunday brunch from Herd. Unusual but very tasty biscuits & gravy. Service was very helpful & friendly.“

“The Kitchen at Pickle on Penn is an absolute gem - every meal I’ve had has been delicious, and the service is always quick and friendly. The upbeat atmosphere and welcoming staff make it a place you’ll want to come back to again. Highly recommend!“

“Called them to host my 21ST birthday party last week and they were AMAZING. The manager answered all my questions and made me feel heard(even though I called him multiple times), and when I got there they had already reserved the space for me, the servers were sweet and attentive and so so kind. The atmosphere was laid back and fun and even my family and friends said it was a really really nice spot. Would definitely go back! And the food definitely didn’t hurt either! Was delicious for an even more delicious price! Thank you Dustin!! Would give ten stars if I could!“

“There's a certain magic that happens in bars that stopped worrying about impressing anyone a long time ago. Silver Dollar has it. The lighting is dim in that way that feels accidental rather than designed. The stools have some wobble to them. Nobody's mistaking this for a cocktail lounge, and honestly, that's the whole point.
What Silver Dollar sells isn't polish, it's proximity. Sit at the bar long enough and the line between stranger and regular starts to disappear. Someone will ask what you're drinking. Someone else will tell you a story you didn't ask for but end up glad you heard anyway. The bartenders have this easy confidence, like they've heard every version of every bar story there is and still make you feel like yours is the good one. A lot of that comes down to the owner, honestly. That kind of hospitality doesn't get built by accident.
The events here don't feel like calendar filler either. They feel like the neighborhood actually showing up for itself, which is rarer than it should be these days.
Is it rough around the edges? Sure. But that roughness is part of the charm, not something working against it. Silver Dollar isn't chasing a trend. It's just doing the one thing a good dive bar is supposed to do, which is make you feel like you belong there whether it's your first time in or your fiftieth.
If you want craft cocktails and a curated playlist, look elsewhere. If you want the real thing, cold beer, good people, and a bar that actually means something to the block it sits on, Silver Dollar's got you covered.“

“So good, all around. Great service. Excellent food.“

“Fun and enjoyable! Listened to him play in the past and tonight it was just so much fun for everyone. Enjoy!“

“My wife and I stopped by to play a few games of pool. Was crowded with league teams but we managed to get one of the two tables in the back room. We stayed a couple hours and had several beers and glasses of wine. The tables are very nice, the service was friendly and fast. If we lived in the area this would be our spot. Will definitely come again on a future visit.“

“Great ambiance, delicious food and friendly owners/staff make any visit to Cobblestone a wonderful experience.“

“Just a nice place and good service“

“We go here often to enjoy music and some appetizers. We took a seat at the sofa like we have many times. 15 minutes in, we noticed only the bartender and no other staff. Another 15 minutes and no service. Off we go. We have had many wonderful evenings at Adagio, not tonight.“

“We love to try new places & tonight was a FANTASTIC MEAL! We were celebrating a birthday. Wonderful parking in crazy tight Carmel, IN. The atmosphere rich, but not intimidating. The seating tables are nicely spaced out. Not over crowded. Our server Oloft ( forgot how to spell his name ) was SPECTACULAR! The menu is very well laid out and the portions are not disappointing! The staff is very friendly and quick to serve & pre bus the table. Our drinks were delicious AND the dessert drinks you have to try! ALL, the food was fresh and just simply delicious. We will visit here again and not just for special occasions! Thank you for a memorable dining experience! Definitely better than Prime 47, better than H! We still love Nylas in Westfield and the Salt in Carmel. Parking was definitely better at Anthony's! See you again soon!“

“•Greg's the chef, good dude! (Needs to learn to make coleslaw) 😆
•Matt and his staff are gold! This place will be here for a long time with their service!
•Atmosphere- when it's popping,(piping) it's popping. Dancing, music, live bands karaoke,... and when it's not popping, it's cool, chill, quiet. There is never a middle ground!
•Demographic- all walks of life, young, old, hip, blue collar, pet friendly!
•Summary- 10/10- good service, great food, lovley staff, tons of fun!
So I recommend going ahead and poppin on down to the piper. Stay, drink, and eat, or just pull a piper pop in and check the place out for yourself!“

“Portions are huge. Had the sloppy joe and it was the best sloppy joe I've ever had. My son in law had the ribeye sandwich and it was a huge ribeye. He said it was excellent. Prices very good. Nice selection of craft beer. Erin the bartender was outstanding! Great service! Only downside is the smoking for me. Come from a state where smoking isn't allowed indoors at restaurants, pubs, bars so an adjustment for me. Overall was a great experience.“

“Our first time eating here. Sat outside with the pups. Service was AMAZING! The burger was one of the best I’ve had in a long time! And the sweet potato fries were to die for! Highly recommend!“

“Kara did an awesome job at making my tacos! They were delicious! I will be back.“

“Divvy is one of my favorite places to go for an evening out! I always have a wonderful time. The food is delicious, the service is exceptional and the atmosphere is wonderful. I look forward to the next time I get to go! I can't wait to try the brunch!“

“Yummy lunch drove a little out of my way in route home to Michigan.“

“People that write bad reviews about this place children and afraid of their own shadow. It’s the kind of people that seek out (and cause) problems. If you want a place to have a few beers (or a lot), this is your jam. Friendly and attentive staff with food that is a step above the traditional “bar food.” Dont believe the negative BS. If you want to be you while having drinks, this is your neighborhood bar.“

“First time here. Definitely won’t be the last. Fantastic food. Friendly staff. Found my new go to place. Highly recommend!!“

“The food here is absolutely FANTASTIC, scratch kitchen perfection. Great service and atmosphere! You cannot go wrong here.“

“I go here multiple times a month, and trust me when I say it’s not the closest to my house. It’s a tiny hole in the wall, but it reminds me of bars back home on the gulf coast. It’s tiny and comfortable, and other than the regular crowd who sit at the bar all of the time everyone else is always different every night.“

“Really good food and atmosphere .“

“Yummy food. Would recommend.“

“Had an amazing time. Lija and Melissa are amazing bartenders, but the whole staff is super friendly (I couldn’t possibly name everyone), that really provided not only great service, but a great experience. I would recommend to anyone to go visit the Goat and enjoy the whole experience.“

“great atmosphere, our server Aubrey was the best more bar food items would be great!“

“Love coming to Chili's after a round of golf and we are able to meet as a family and get one of their awesome burgers! These burgers are awesome and as part of the three for me deal, really add incredible value. great people are this Chili's and the take-out also do a fntatsic job!“

“I don’t know who answers the phone at the Downtown location. But she is so nice and so professional. She helped me with the situation and was as kind as I would ever want to expect from somebody. Thank you so much. Also, we found this place by accident recently and we have fallen in love with Pizza so we really do enjoy going here.“

“I absolutely love Roots! I have never had a bad meal from there. The atmosphere is always great and the service is exceptional. I highly recommend them to everyone I can.“

“Great food and vibes all the time!!“

“Our food was great! Think our server was in training. Pleasant but had to ask for simple things the server brings like a menu, napkins, etc. Biggest thing that bothered us was how dirty it was. Puddle of water in one location, trash on floors, and acrylic separators covered with fingerprints and slimy food GROSS“

“Came in for carryout to use gift cards from a friend while we are moving in. Order was not correct the first time which was disappointing. But I called back and Madison made it right. The order was made how it should have been and it was so good! Definitely coming back once we get settled in.“

“My son’s birthday was last night. He has had a dave and busters card for over 5 years that he has steadily built to over 50,000 points. Last night he lost it within 10m Of us being there. I had just loaded it with money. He was looking all over and so distraught. Our waitress- Angela noticed this and tried to help. As we all combed the place - she went to her manager (andre) and told him about the situation while we were looking. Within 30 minutes he had a new card (they used my credit card to track the point card number down) and all of it was moved to a new card. I just want to say thanks to our waitress who is such a caring person. We appreciated you took the time to help us and treated us like it mattered to you. And also to the manager. Thank you Angela & Andre so much! My 15yo won’t forget that gesture of kindness! 🙏🏼“
