About Bar Weems

Bar Weems is a charming and stylish restaurant primarily open at night, offering a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Though it functions more like a restaurant than a late-night bar, its space is clean and warm, making it a great place to enjoy small dishes and drinks. The staff is friendly, efficient, and laid back, often sharing insights about the menu and the passion behind the food and cocktails. The bar features unique, thoughtful cocktails, with standout options like the Wasabi drink, Static, and the Reunion Tour infused with Earl Grey tea and grapefruit foam. The atmosphere is complemented by a well-curated lineup of drinks, making it a perfect spot for casual drinking.

The food at Bar Weems exceeds expectations, especially known for its ramen and small dishes. The ramen, including favorite options like the veggie miso and the Miso Ramen, is flavorful, with refined noodles and rich broth that warms from the inside out. The pork rice is flavorful, and the karaage is crispy on the outside and moist inside. Other dishes like the Snow Cheese Karaage—chicken tenders covered in cheese dust—and the traditional Tamago are also highly appreciated for their taste and presentation. The korokke was described as creamy and bursting with flavor, standing out as a favorite.

Portion sizes are smaller than typical American restaurants, which allows diners to try more dishes but might require ordering more for those with bigger appetites. The neighborhood is slowly gentrifying, and while it may seem a little scary to some, the restaurant’s existence signals positive change. Overall, Bar Weems is a great casual spot for ramen, drinks, and small bites, ideal for date nights, friends, or solo visits. It’s a place that truly shows passion and craftsmanship in every detail.
