50 Best Cocktail Bars near Westwood

“Great food and service was excellent“

“Solid stuff. The buffalo wings are exactly what you want with some good heat attached. The crab cheddar biscuits were soft and had great flavor. Really enjoyed both. No frills caesar salad did not disappoint, either.

I go to the craft shows near the train station every so often and always wondered what the best local food spot is, and I think I found it. Will be back in the future to explore the menu.“

“Excellent service, friendly staff, great food!“

“Great staff. Friendly and very attentive. Definitely recommend.“

“We came here for Restaurant Week, and we chose this location because we wanted to check out something a lil closer to Harlem where we hadn't really had the chance to explore the neighborhood.

Also they included a nice variety of cocktails with dinner, an appetizer, a main ,and a dessert. It doesn't get any better than that, all for $45 per person. I was sceptical at first but we thought that we would give it a try.

The establishment itself is very cute, I loved the black facade, and the intimate setting with the industrial lamps, leather seats, wooden beams, and the exposed brick. The hostess was prompt and friendly. We looked over the menu and chose the Old Fashioned and Golden Rush for drinks. We had the Calzonito (2 per serving, I had the sausage... Which was hard to actually see the actual sausage... I guess it was flavored in the cheese) and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken for apps (which is a large portion, great for sharing). For our mains we had the Pan Seared Sea Bass with roasted cauliflower and sauteed kale (it was well seasoned and the kale was cooked very well). For dessert we opted for the Warm Apple Crumble with oats, brown sugar and mezcal (it was warm, but would have been great with something a little creamy like evaporated milk or ice cream, we felt it just needed something to soften the dryness. We also chose the Bread pudding with sour cherries and buttermilk caramel.

The portions were huge so get there hungry. We had to get a few doggy-bags but you will definitely get a bang for your buck. Very cute spot, I loved their regular cocktail selections, I will definitely come back again!“

“Plenty of parking. A very nice addition to the Sparkill and Piermont food scene.

May 2025 Update:

Alessandro Rocky were great servers and had great hospitality

From the website:

Chef Vittorio mixes a subtle hint of traditional peasant food with his modern take on fresh, hand-selected seasonal ingredients. The warm, intimate setting of Cucina Verace’s rustic space is a wonderful backdrop to a dining experience rooted in the chef’s past. Chef Vittorio shares the skills he learned in his mother Carolina’s kitchen in Campagna to bring you a southern Italian meal that you won’t soon forget. Chef Vittorio’s frequent trips back to Italy to explore the country’s regions also help to shape the unique menu.“

“Went there on a Friday night. It took a little while for us to be seated. But once we got seated, our waiter was very attentive and courteous. The food was great and so were the drinks. We had lobster spaghetti and shrimp & crab ravioli. For the drink, i had the gold digger cocktail. It's a lychee martini, ifykyk. The DJ was a vibe. They played afrobeat, R&B/hip-hop, reggae, and Spanish music. It's very loud in there, not a place for convo, but more for turning up. Definitely will be coming back.“

“Welcoming, intimate pub. Lovely decor. The ceiling in the woman's bathroom is a bit bizarre - take a look. ;-o

Phenomenal patrons = actors, dancers, directors - eclectic mix of local folks, representing the arts.

Stellar barkeeper. Thank you Joe.“

“I have been to Bistro Taino several times including for a special birthday dinner and it never disappoints. Tonight I went with some coworkers and as always everything was so good. We shared the crabmeat empanadas and each had the bifongo as entrees with chicken, steak, and seafood. We also shared the coconut tembleque for dessert. Special shout out to our server, Arianni, she was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and personable. Great service, food and ambiance, can’t ask for more. Thank you Bistro Taino for always making it a great experience.“

“great time at golfzone Palisades! great space, great food!“

“Nice restaurant, friendly employees. Brunch hours were from 12-5 pm. I didn’t want brunch food bc I heard from others that it was just OK. I ordered the tiny special roll and was informed couldn’t get it until 5 pm due to the brunch menu times. The waitress took our order around 4:20 pm. Then she came back later to take it again-not sure why. The sushi roll was good. I also enjoyed an expressing martini. My friend ordered chicken wings , they were super super tiny. She didn’t complain about the taste though. Only street parking available. Gratuity included for a table for 2.“

“Husband surprised me with paint and sip for Valentine’s Day last night here. We had a great time. Naomi and her husband were gracious hosts and we had a blast. We will for sure be coming back for another paint and sip night or even karaoke!“

“Went on a Saturday night and they had a guitarist which created such a great vibe. The drinks were amazing as well as the food. Had the ceviche and steak nachos which was perfect for two people. The staff and bartender were attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back.“

“Authentic, good food . This was our first visit and won’t be the last!“

“This restaurant was on my list for a while and was happy to finally stumble upon it. Our waiter Johnathan was great, witty, and knowledgeable. We had the draft beer, esquites, tacos de Barbacoa, duck mole, and the pastry/hot chocolate dessert. Food was balanced and delicious. If I had to be critical for this restaurant to reach its peak success- I would say the mole did not come out as hot as it could have (was just slightly warm) and the tacos de barbacoa could have used more balancing and freshness to it. Would definitely recommend and come back“

“The atmosphere is awesome! The food was soooo good!!! What made it even more amazing was our server Briana!!! I couldn’t decide what to try and she recommended the spicy buffalo chix sandwich with sweet potato fries! She was on point with that recommendation!! I’m a foodie so definitely coming back!!“

“We ordered online before the restaurant opened. Our order was due to be done by 330pm (only 30 minutes after they opened) we arrived around 340pm and our order was ready. We ordered Tassot Cabrit-Fried Goat with black rice with fried plantains, Oxtails, black rice, cabbage with sweet plantains, an order of Mac and Cheese and an order of Fried Okra. EVERYTHING was amazing. Great flavor, just enough spice and the portion size was good. My son is picky with food and he really liked the mac and cheese. Even though we ordered to take out we decided to stay and eat. They had no issues with that. Services was on point and they played great music. We were there during the day but it is a lounge and would be fitting for other types of events. Overall 5/5 for us. We will return to try other menu items. The food smelled and looked so good we forgot to take pictures. Overall very delicious Caribbean food.“

“Loved my first experience here. Stopped in after shopping the town. Bartenders Tommy and Anthony were working and made incredible drinks. They were both very inviting and make you feel at home. I will be back to enjoy the atmosphere and great bartending skills.“

“A lot of thought and time went into designing this beautiful, spacious interior, including textured wall surfaces and designer lighting. Perfect for parties and couples alike, and kid froendly during the day with fancy mocktails. Take pride in hand crafted cocktails with freshly squeezed lime and yes they really look like the photo. Accommodating of allergies. Lots of flavor and great presentation“

“Trays of wraps made for cardiac service at GSH. Best grilled chicken wrap ever!! My friends and family frequently eat at the diner. Everything is fresh and delicious 😋“

“Great service good food 👍🥝“

“I had a private event in the Parlor Room and it was fabulous. Food and drinks were spot on and the service was dynamite. There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“Had a wonderful anniversary dinner. Food was excellent and the live music was great. They just so happened to play our wedding song which was perfect. My husband and I had the tuna tartar and scallops as an appetizer. The scallops were over this creamy sweet corn chowder with corn salsa and croutons - it was amazing and the best scallops I’ve ever had! Tuna tartar was delicious too. My husband had the pork chops with this mustard crust and eggplant sauce and I had veal milenase with an arugula salad on top. Both were really delicious meals. The veal was huge and definitely could have split that. Even though we were so full, we still managed to get the yummy Pineapple cake and hazelnut chocolate mousse for dessert.“

“The best naberhood bar that I've been to in many years“

“If you’re looking for a great spot with amazing drinks, good music, and a fun vibe, this place is it. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the quality makes it worth it. They don’t serve full dinner plates — it’s more about finger foods and small bites — but everything is fresh and tasty. Perfect spot for a night out when you’re more focused on drinks, music, and having a good time.“

“Such a beautiful place the staff there is so accommodating and sweet. The drinks and food are to die for.“
