The Westbury Inn

Westbury Inn is a great place, located in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens that is not fancy, a basic neighborhood bar that a gem in a rapidly changing area that's becoming full of niche places. Westbury has a great wide open space (and backyard) that's conducive to watching sports as there are several TVs in the area. A strong Knicks contingent comes here to watch the games as well as follow the Jets and Giants. Drinks are moderately prices and served well by the bartenders. No fancy cocktails hete, but great drinks and a wide selection of beers. The food has recently been revamped and is excellent, served by Jess who quickly serves up tasty burgers, crispy chicken and great sides such as fries and tenders. It is a great compliment to the drink menu and one of the few places in the area where one can have a few drinks, eat some food, and watch the games without breaking the bank .Come visit early during the week (by 7PM) and take part in watching Jeopardy as well!

Cute local spot in Flatbush. Jeff is the best bartender! It's super spacious and they also have games. I haven't eaten much here except for the fries and it's pretty hard to mess those up, will try some things on the menu next time.

So - they did not exactly put much effort into the decor or vibe here. It's literally just painted new sheetrock, with several things nailed to the wall. The music is also nondescript & had no flavor. This is Flatbush - unless there is a very good reason, you should be playing REALLY loud reggae or soca/calypso.That being said & out of the way: they have 2 massive things going for them:1. Theirs are now amongst the VERY best Buffalo wings in Brooklyn.2. Their kitchen is open until ONE AM on weekdays - making this one of the VERY few places that you can sit at the bar, & have a late dinner & a festive / relaxing beverage between prospect park & kings plaza. Midwood Flats kitchen is also open late, but they apparently are closed on Mondays, & Westbury is open.The staff & clientele are super welcoming, it's clean inside, & abbreviated but solid draft selection. A welcome addition to the hood - just need to improve the music !

First off, It's my go to dive bar in the middle of Flatbush. So I am rating it based on dive bar expectations. Lots of board games to pass the time. Whatever the sport is for the night is usually playing on the TVs. Most of the patrons are from the neighborhood and know the bartenders on a first name basis. Will is the man that keeps the machine moving, get in with him and your night will be grande. The kitchen isn't exactly ran by the bar, it operates within the bar. As of this review, the cook is on point and all the food options are above average. There is a backyard with bench tables and chairs for those that wish to partake in a smoke without being on the avenue. Oh one more thing, cognacs are extremely limited in here. No Hennessy ladies and gents. Gonna have to switch your palate up if that your thing.

Been on a mad hunt looking for a sports bar in Flatbush. I just moved to Brooklyn from Harlem. And always had a ton of options for sports bar - Harlem Hops, Harlem Tavern, Cantina. Flatbush has been a bit more of a search. I fell upon here on random walk and I think it maybe the one.Ton of beers on tap, great bartender, lots of locals and plenty of tvs with numerous games on. Love the energy and will go back.

Had my 40th birthday party at Westbury inn. Can I just say.. it was amazing. The food was soooo good and everyone raved about how tasty the food was. The bartender Jeff was amazing n the drinks were delish. I could not have been happier at such a great milestone party.

Great locals spot. Clean restroom. The kitchen was closed but the drinks were straight forward. The bartender will attenot to make any drink he can. I'd return.

Solid watering hole with a friendly crowd in PLG. Always have reasonably priced beer cans available. Food is solid and they seem to be open when others are closed.

My friend and I stopped by Westbury Inn this past Wednesday for a light. Yes, "a light" so we could smoke outside before departing each other's company. We targeted Westbury because it was super close, a sure bet since it capitalizes off of smokers w its trashy lil backyard, and we like one of the bartenders, Jeffrey, who we knew worked Wednesdays. Instead of being met w the nonchalance appropriate for such an inoffensive request, we were met w passive aggressive shade poorly served by the barback or bartender working (not Jeff). His brilliant suggestion of going to a bodega instead was trite, unnecessary, and unwelcoming. People smoke in front and in back of Westbury ALL THE TIME. A request for a light is harmless and hardly disruptive to its clientele. Westbury you aren't Ruth's...and, it was just a f-ing light!I'm admittedly not a regular here and, after this final straw, never will be. I forgave the ridiculously long wait for an order of 2 fries and wings when there were no other food orders, I forgave the even more ridiculous surcharge for takeout orders, I forgave the fact you don't have salt & pepper because your shakers were stolen and ownership decided not to replace them (as told to me by a staff member), and the terrible inconsistency of the food. What I won't forgive though is the WHOLLY UNWARRANTED passive aggressiveness of your staff. The environment cultivated and unbearable stench of unwashed basement bros seals the deal for me. My initial skepticism when y'all first opened was not misplaced. Terrible.

I honestly feel bad writing this review, because I've been to this place a few times and have always had a better-than-average to good time. But this time was a little rough. The punchline is; I waited nearly an hour for food that never came, and I had to leave.The context is; the head bartender (who was very nice) was training a new person, so things were running pretty slow. No biggie, it wasn't busy so we didn't feel ignored or unwelcome or anything. We came there specifically for the vietnamese wings (which, to their credit, has garnered a fair amount of notoriety in the area) but they didn't have them for supply chain reasons. Also no biggie, we ordered different wings and fish and chips. While we waited, we had a drink (a bourbon and a cola). 30 minutes came and went, others that ordered before us were eating, and the bar was getting busier. I ordered another drink and decided to close out so we could eat and run. I mentioned we were in a hurry and we wanted to be able to eat quickly and leave. 40 minutes, 50 minutes, nothing. At 56 minutes we decided to cut our losses because we didn't have any additional time to give. Again, I hate to write this, because A.) I could've told them we were in a hurry earlier, B.) I've had a really good time at this barin the past, and C.) even this time, everyone was really nice. But, at the end of the day I spent $65 on two drinks and zero food, and I now have to spend more money on food somewhere else, and that's pretty uncool.
