Loved the atmosphere my first visit. Bartenders, security, DJs, etc were all super nice. Can't wait for our next visit!

Quality setting that did not match the service. Drinks were prolonged and staff was unprofessional.

Love that we have a nice 23 & up space downtown! Even on slower nights, this place has a great ambiance & vibe. Jeffrey is a fantastic DJ! I have been a little disappointed with some of the other DJ's sets at times, but he is consistent & cultivates a great vibe. Drinks are pretty good too!

A sophisticated evening from start to finish. The cocktails at Westwood are truly a work of art, balanced, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is elegant, and offers a lot seating, making it the ideal spot for a Girls Night Out. We will certainly be back!

Westwood is literally the best bar on Glenwood if you’re looking for a place with good music, amazing drinks and a good variety of dance or chit chat. I wish it would have been 25+ but thankfully this place isn’t overrun by the youngins. Good crowd and even better staff! The only reason I even step foot on Glenwood at night anymore.

Come here almost every Saturday, the bar staff, security and management all treat me as if Im family. Great drinks and music. Also one of the few Glenwood bars that isn’t overrun with College kids. 100% recommend!

Westwood is by far one of my favorite spots to hit on a night out. The music is always on point, the atmosphere is top-notch, service is 10/10, and the drinks are great!

I love that it's 23+! While I love the party vibes of a college bar, I enjoy being in a more sophisticated or mature crowd and this place is exactly that. The place is soooo open and spacious and the aesthetic is so nice!

The bartenders have always been super nice and attentive. They have always made me and my friends feel very welcomed here!

If you're looking for a bar that's a whole vibe, this is the spot.

Keep it up, yall!

Westwood has quickly become one of my go-to spots for a night out. The atmosphere is refreshingly sophisticated while still feeling warm and inviting. The staff are always friendly and attentive (even when busy), which makes the experience even better. I’d highly recommend stopping in for a drink (or two)!

This place is amazing!! Staff is so sweet and drinks are delicious!! We planned our wedding after party here and it couldn’t have been a more perfect place to meet up with our family and friends after our wedding. We love that it’s 23 and up and all the little extras they include with the event space. We will definitely be back after our honeymoon! Thanks for everything!

This is not a place I would ever support again. The way Westwood is run makes customers feel disrespected and unsafe. The owner’s behavior and the overall environment left me with a very negative impression. Please think twice before giving them your business — there are far better options that actually care about their customers.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Westwood was so negative that I feel the need to warn others. The management is extremely unprofessional, and the atmosphere is uncomfortable and untrustworthy. Supporting this business only enables bad practices. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere

10/10 across the board. The vibes, the DJs, the bartenders, and cocktails. You can’t go wrong in this upscale, 23+ lounge on Glenwood. Looking for something different, give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

Curse of Calypso and the Espresso Martini are my go to!

This upscale bar is where fiber optics meet fine spirits. Once a temple of high-speed internet, now reimagined as an exclusive, adults-only escape pulsing with the beautiful timeworn brick walls—rich with texture, warmth, and whispers of the past Sip craft cocktails under the inviting and gentle lighting, lounge in repurposed data closets, and lose yourself in a network of leather-lined nooks. No buffering. No kids. Just smooth connections.

At every turn, service is seamless and intuitive—glasses never empty, smiles always genuine. With multiple distinct bars under one roof, each space offers its own personality and pour: from classic cocktails crafted with precision, to experimental libations, you’re never far from your next favorite drink—or the bartender who remembers how you like it.

Clearly the top bar off of Glenwood Ave - No crayons, no high chairs, no juice boxes—just clever conversations, and music that doesn’t come from a cartoon or a Boom-Boom room. It’s a playground for adults—sharper edges, smoother pours, and absolutely zero goldfish crackers. Cheers!
