Good overall, nice vibe, and everyone friendly, but… took almost 40 min to get our meal - 2 burgers. And it wasn’t even crowded.

Every time I come here I am delightfully surprised by how nice and accommodating the staff is. They called to check if I was attending my reservation and I told them my nightmare scenario. They were so nice and professional about it and made our large party very secure. We were welcomed warmly and attended to very well.

Great spot. Will make this a go-to from now on.

This was my first time at Bar West, but I had a great experience! Happy hour was something like 3:30-6pm ($6 cocktails and apps). Food and service were both excellent. My husband and I both enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich better than the cheddar burger.

Delightful Christmas decor!!!!!!! A true gem of the season

Stopped in for some Christmasy cocktails. Cool vibe with the holiday decorations. The cocktails were great, especially the Peppermint Espresso Martini. Stopped in around 5:30pm on a Saturday evening. The restaurant wasn’t busy but the bar was full. We waited for less than 10 mins for some bar stools to clear and were able to sit and enjoy our drinks.

Ellie’s hospitality truly elevated our visit. A great hostess doesn’t just seat you — they make you feel welcome, looked after, and excited to be there. She did exactly that. Highly impressed! Ellie exemplifies what great service should feel like!

I'm not impressed. Very small menu, the waiter took a while to even get our drink order, and never even asked if we wanted to order entrées. We ended up having 2 drinks (the Orginal Sin was good, and the banana something was awful, basically just bourbon and bitter).
The crab dip- truthfully I've made better dip at home with store bought ritz crackers.
And the meatballs tasted... not bad, but not good... basic is the word I'd use.

It was not worth the $60 I paid (including tip) for the 4 things listed above.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome party in the back room of Bar West, and it was the perfect venue!! Shout out to Autumn, as well as Heather, for making the process so smooth from the beginning. The space was beautifully arranged, the food was absolutely delicious, the bar was smooth and rarely had a line, the logistics were flawless, we had a mic and TV all set up, and so much more.

Autumn was such a pleasure to work with - I so appreciated her responsiveness, attention to detail, answering all my questions, checking in through the night, and overall so accommodating. Thank you again for everything. I will highly recommend Bar West for events in the future!!

Five- stars all around! We recently hosted a private event on their front porch and it was a perfect setting. Autumn went above and beyond to make sure our event was set of for success and was such a warm and professional presence the day of! Landon did a fantastic job providing drink service during the event and I'd definitely recommend them for your event needs!
