“Westside is without question the best taphouse in Salem. Great variety of beers, ciders, and wines that skew PNW local. Almost always something new and unique to try. Small selection of cans & bottles to go. Friendly staff & nice atmosphere. Year round outdoor seating as well.

Kid-friendliness: 21+“

“😍 she’s the best we love Christina! A lot of fun! Love this bar“

“Great place! Bartenders are super awesome. Great crowd too! And pool. LJ Ariel, Not the best.. She doesn’t honor “first come first serve” idea during karaoke. I got lectured for signing up for a song after I finished one.? (It’s not my fault no one signed up) She Puts whoever she wants up. So that’s a bummer… But still a great place to grab a drink and socialize!!!“

“Good food and fun atmosphere to learn how to line dance!“

“The Phily Cheese Steak sandwich was delicious. So were the fries. Low key - we were there at lunch with our grandson - and it was easy to hear and to visit with each other. It's near our home, a bonus. It's not the dive that we remember from 20 years ago (we're slow to give bad experiences a second chance when there are so many options in town.) We'll go for lunch again and take some friends with us.“

“They have alcohol and the people are nice. It’s great.“

“Quiet place with free pool!One of the best burgers I've ever had, and I've been to most of the places around here. It put my previous bar burger (Johnny's) in 2nd place.Great service from our bartender, and great drinks. Definitely will be back!“

“Went in on Valentines day and the bartender was great! Kept all the customers taken care of and was very pleasant to talk to. With a bartender like her, you can be sure I will be back!“

“The bar is the same size inside as outside.
The people are loud and boisterous with friendly demeanor, they bought me some jello shots

Friendly bartender with a good strong pour on a spiced rum and ginger beer.
Bartender was able to easily recommend a unique drink when asked. It was a very tasty drink. I will revisit“

“Sami is awesome and so is lacey. Great service! The cooks are amazing as well! They have a variety of liquor. Their food specials are great 👍“

“I have been going here for the past 8 years. I have seen this place go from super good service, to bad service. Lately I feel like the service is getting better again. As a customer it's nice to walk into a place like this and have the employees acknowledge you, ask if you would like something to drink right away. For a long time that didn't happen. Lately it's been happening and also is backed with a cheerful employee with a smile almost every time. 👍“

“Love this neighborhood bar“

“Daytime is very different than night,their food is no joke delicious,So Wednesday I went at night and it's a live jam along band then During the daytime it's a working people atmosphere,jukebox play anything and everything?.Ordered some of their Beer Battered fries,the price alone was deliciously cheap!!?.,On Thurs only at night they had 2 real djs playing classy 90's 80's classics country and REAL bass dance music, I don't go out much but this place worked out nice,Hope to come back soon!??

“I would like to THANK the Owners, and Staff, of the Half Penny! You made accommodations for a dual family Birthday party for us today. The food was delicious, the staff took care of our needs, and the customer service was PHENOMENAL! You can tell that they really support not only their customers, but each other, as well. THANK YOU, again, for the great experience! I plan on enjoying their nightlife very soon. 😁“

“The bar is super cute but the service meh. Everytime I go the staff acts like you are a bother and the one dude is always on break.“

“Very good customer service, nice and clean inside , wiping down slot machines between customer, checking in on customers to see if we needed anything frequently all around excellent i left in a good mood even though I didn't win any money“

“This place was excellent, literally the best security I’ve seen at any nightlife establishment, they were looking out for everybody and helping out and it was just cool to experience that. Jackson and Johnny made us feel comfortable and safe and they went above and beyond helping the bar staff. The bar staff was also excellent, great atmosphere, five out of five stars, would highly recommend. Check this spot out.“

“Went here last month to celebrate a family member turning 21. It was a super good time and the bartender was super nice and helpful and made me a drink that he's never made before. It was really awesome sitting at the bar and being able to watch sports up close. The food was pretty darn good. I would also recommend this place because the price wasn't half bad either.

Parking: Plenty of spots to park in a free decent size lot“

“But in this place twice in last month both times I hit pretty good on the poker machines how to spend a little bit of money to get it but still my boyfriend however didnt do very well, I hit a flush at Max bet within the fever I got seven flushes so seven more fevers there's only two that I tried that I did not get but for Max bet and only playing 250 out not a very good payout I would expect a little bit more but that's just Oregon lottery for you but other than that the people who work there are very nice and it's pretty laid back and welcoming I guess you could say“

“This place makes a yummy Angus cheeseburger the server Melinda she is so tuned in to the customers and she keeps us all safe here at lucky dog thank you“

“My favorite bar in town killer bartenders and awesome people and it’s close to home“

“I am usually really happy at this bar. But have had some off putting experiences with a couple of the staff being unfriendly and/or out of line (mentioned something about my personal life when we had never met before. Super weird). Went there on Christmas and left after only half my drink because even the manager was unfriendly. Everyone but her and her son have been excellent and I am always glad to come in on the other bartenders shifts. Fast and friendly, overall“

“They have a new weekend chicken fried steak breakfast special, which is delicious.“

“great little bar! best chicken wings ever. and amazing bartenders.“

“Good place w/good people. Pool takes center stage in this bar. You’ve got a high chance of running into a grand master pool player who’ll be willing to teach you.“

“Good pizza good service and people“

“Great place for Karaoke and good times. great bar staff!!“

“When you’re there it’s like being at a family gathering !!!! Love our local watering hole NOBLES BAR Like Toby Kieth sang “I LOVE THIS BAR😎🎱🇺🇸“

“small location but great for a Night of laughter.“

“Staff was prompt and responsive. I ordered the Prime Rib Special. It came out remarkably fast. Medium rare as requested. Unfortunately the baked potato was over done and yet cool. The prime rib was lukewarm. The horseradish sauce was off- I can’t tell why but it had a peculiar flavor that should not have been there. Seasoning of the prime rib was on point and so was the zip sauce. I wasn’t feeling up to potential confrontation so when they asked how the food was I just said good. With prime rib it’s hard because if they warmed it then it might not have come back medium rare…also there was no steak knife but again I didn’t ask“

“I have stopped in here twice in the last few months. Each time, everything we have ordered is excellent. Fantastic burgers and well thought out and prepared sandwiches. One of the best spots I have found in Salem. Highly Recommended.“

“Welcoming and friendly staff, great conversation and amazing service. The food was excellent with good portion sizes. There are pool tables and a jukebox, also plenty of social activities over the course of the week. Great atmosphere with varied options for seating, booths, high tables, the bar. Clean and inviting, 10/10 will go again.“

“Food is amazing and so are the vibes you get froms this unique setting. Love it !!“

“This place is fabulous. The food is great.“

“I got an insane amount of delicious food for so cheap, the waitresses and bartender were so friendly and pretty and it was such a nice clean place with fun atmosphere! 10/10 would go again.“
