9 Best Bar & Grill near West Lawn

“We recently celebrated my son’s 18th birthday here with a group of 20, and we were blown away by the exceptional service and delicious food. Aileen, our server, was outstanding and ensured the dinner went off without a hitch. The wings were particularly outstanding, and everyone couldn't stop talking about them. We're already planning our next visit; this place is definitely worth returning to.“

“This was my husband & I’s first time and we absolutely LOVED IT! Our server, Howard, was absolutely awesome—he was very helpful, fun, and made our experience joyful. The food and drinks were DELICIOUS—one of the best burgers I’ve ever had for sure!! We will definitely be back to see Howard, and to get some more burgers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND:)“

“A couple friends and I stopped at Forrest Inn to pregame prior to an event. Seems like your typical dive bar when walking in. But Harry was a one man show; serving up drinks, cooking, running food, and amazing customer service. The food has cheap prices with great flavor. I went back for a second basket of the fresh cut fries. Definitely worth stopping in and checking it out. Daily drink specials too“

“We had an excellent experience renting the Grill Fire Company ballroom for our event. Lisa was a joy to work with - communicative and kind. We hosted over 150 people comfortably, had an open bar (that was vv reasonably priced), and had the event catered by Mimmo's. All went well - highly recommend!“

“This is a classic bar as it is one of my all time favorite places to watch a sports game. I’ve been coming to Decarlos for years now and Danny has a great business going here. The bar food is excellent and I don’t believe I ever ordered a drink that the bartenders didn’t know how to make. Also, great service and friendly people.“

“Nice quaint small and lovely place.....went with my husband for his birthday. We had the Chicken Parm/spaghetti....ordered it ahead! It was the best Chicken Parmesian I've ever had! Topped any Italian eatery and even my own! Deliciouso! Looking forward to going again soon! Had a delicious Irish coffee for desert!!! :) And, ridiculously affordable pricing! :) :) :)“

“Let’s talk.*hands clapping together while talkingI came in to some old school hip hop on the speakers…. So you had my attention.I tried the chipsteak, the fiesta dog, and MULTIPLE cheeseburgers.I also had my usual Jack and diet.First of all….yes I clapped with every syllable again..Under $10. That’s fantastic.Nothing in the food menu was over five bucks sans the “special”I wasn’t impressed with the fiesta dog and chipsteak. It was ok. But then…:then came the cheeseburger….it wasn’t your $10 cheeseburger. Who wants that a bar? You want easy food. This burger had the classic American taste and feel of yore. Like a McDonald’s burger when it’s fresh and perfect (yes that’s a real thing).Under $4…perfect bun, great cheese, good burger. The chef and bartender had their crew which was nice to see. Total local vibe.Beyond happy I chose to come here.GET THE CHEESEBURGER!!“

“While I recommend Alley Hole without a doubt, more often than not, lately, they have been CLOSED! EVERY Sunday we have tried to go, it is closed. Closed on New Year's Eve as well. what gives?? At least update your hours on your page and Google.“

“We stopped in for lunch following a medical appt. It was a Wednesday around 12 noon. The place was not crowded at all -- indoors nearly every table was vacant and outdoors a few tables were vacant. (It was a low-humidity day.) I ordered a pizza + a salad; he ordered a cheeseburger + fries. The pizza was very good and since I can't eat cheese, one of my toppings was comped. The smallest pizza was more than I could finish for a lunch -- or a supper, for that matter, unless I were famished. The salad arrived in a 5" square dish -- romaine, assorted greens (the arugula was a nice touch), shredded carrot, diced tomatoes and a cucumber slice or two -- plus the tasty vinaigrette. His burger looked delicious with the melted cheese (provolone, I think) dripping down from it. He usually orders medium-rare but the middle was more done that that. Still, he had no complaints and seemed to enjoy it. The fries looked fantastic but I had enough to handle w/ the pizza and salad. Our server, Amaya, was attentive and helpful. The industrial feel of the place is not the type of decor I gravitate toward, typically, but it was fine. A lot of the tables indoors are of the high-table and high-stool variety. There is a large bar and you do not need to wait to be seated if you sit at the bar. This was not a concern with the place nearly empty upon our arrival. By the time we left, a large group (a busload?) had entered and gone to some side room (? they disappeared somewhere) and quite a few other tables had filled up. The food was very good here. It was $40 for the two of us for lunch w/ no booze - just waters and iced teas. It was probably $48 w/ tip, if I know my hubby. If I had been by myself, I probably would have taken an outdoor table, but with hubby along and a high today of 86, we opted for indoor seating. Great to know that this option exists for the "it's Friday night and no one in Berks eats at home on Friday night" syndrome.“
