The Westy Roosevelt

We came to Westy pretty late on a weekday and were delighted that they could seat us (a party greater than 10) in the back! Our food was delicious and service was great. My friend and I shared a cocktail and an order of Fish and Chips. The fish was wonderful, super crispy and very flavorful. I was happy that the default fries were waffle fries, my favorite! I would definitely come back for a quick dinner if I were around the area again.

Westys has a very clever way of making sure all guests can watch the game they want. They add labels to each tv screen with its corresponding game, so you can make sure you're sitting in the right place. We are from California and it's rare we can watch our teams at home, so this spot is a great find. The drink selection is large as well. Haven't tried the food but this is a great place to get together and watch football games!

I'm giving this place 5 stars because the server was friendly, the food was good, and the fact that they had WBB on rocked. Good neighborhood jawn

Edit: I'm adding some additional details to help explain my rating in response to the restaurant, as my review wasn't based solely on the delivery aspects (although they were a factor). To be Frank, this isn't 4 or 5 star food. It's 3 star food, and the delivery/freshness factor would have made it a 2, but I didn't want to penalize the restaurant for a third party delivery situation. I do think it's important for people to be able to consider if they want to order delivery from this place or not, as it impacts the quality of the food that we end up with. I suppose the restaurant could use this feedback to make decisions about what foods they would like to keep including on their menus with third party delivery services. I ordered food on UberEats from here - it was okay. The burger was very dry and didn't have much flavor, but the lettuce and tomatoes and onions were fresh. About halfway through, I chose not to finish the meat part of the burger because it had no flavor and was dried out. The tots were soggy which I knew might happen to an extent since it was being delivered, but there was zero crispness left, and that was a bummer. The tots also were nothing special - they didn't taste like they were seasoned with anything. I've had tots from places that will double fry them or at least fry them longer since they're going to be traveling- to the point where they are still a little crispy hours later. I don't know how they do it but I know it's possible. That was not the case here.The street corn wasn't hot any longer, and they put it in a metal tin so I had to take it out to reheat it (not willing to wait for a half hour in the oven). It was also a small portion size for the price, and needed some freshness. I won't get delivery from here again, but I'd give it a shot if I was looking for food and I was in the area to see if it's better.

Made a last minute decision to meet up with friends at The Westy and it worked out great! There was good seating, a very casual yet friendly ambiance and our server was excellent. We sampled a few appetizers (tots, wings, corn dip) which were all very good. EXCELLENT beer selection and some fun cocktail choices. The only part I didn't love was the glass my wine was served in. I will admit, I am a drinking vessel snob (not meaning I need something fancy but it does need to be the right vessel for the drink) - and wine came in a mason jar and my husband's cider came in a snifter. I get that it goes with the casual atmosphere but that part was a negative for me. Overall tho - this was a great neighborhood find!

Best happy hour/late night menu of all time. I love coming here after a day of working and chomping on a delicious $5 burger and $5 curly fries.. with the chipotle aioli too...yum! If you've got the time between 2-5 on weekdays, or after 10pm, definitely make a stop here. You will not regret it. Plus the bartenders are super nice.

After having moved to the area and living here for a bit I've done the rounds a couple times trying to find my neighborhood watering hole. I've finally landed on The Westy as my preferred place to go. It's super convenient and only a block away from the Roosevelt light rail station.They have a bunch of TVs all around the bar which make it easy to catch any sports games. There are plenty of tables as well as some outdoor standing space. There's even more space in the back with some arcade games that could be great for private events. They have happy hour which includes $1 off wells and also the $7 guilty pleasure that is a beer and a well shot. I tend to order the tater tots here because they're super crispy and the portions are huge.The bartenders and staff are all nice, especially Mar who is super friendly and always makes sure I'm taken care for. I always have a good experience when I come here and this will continue to be my preferred bar in the neighborhood.

Change is inevitable, and all good things must come to an end. This is not a go-to for us anymore. It's a bar that closes at midnight, so no longer an option for late night. One thing that has been the same as that. It's still challenging to park near the place because of being on Roosevelt and the bike lane and no other options. The reason I would feel the need to park closer to the place is because the area is sketchier than it used to be as noticed by the window or door covered with plywood apparently from being bashed in. Also didn't care for the condescending attitude from the bartender. My friend asked about martinis because they do have a cocktail list, and she was trying to remember the name of the one. She's always ordered there. His reply was a smart-ass response to look behind him they have a full bar. The place was busy, and we were there an hour before close, and he honestly seemed to put out to make anything other than a straightforward whiskey neat or a beer. If we wanted that we could go to many of the new self-service bars where we pour our own. I don't believe they employ bartenders at all.

Ended up here because it was the only place in the area open past 9pm. There were too many vegetarian options, but I ordered the Black Bean Burger and was satisfied. I believe my partner ordered the Westy Burger. My fries were over cooked, very crunch and not soft on the inside at all. We also ordered a cocktail to share, which was pretty good. Other than the fries, I was pretty satisfied with the meal. Our server was quite friendly and I enjoyed talking to him. Made the experience more enjoyable and welcoming! They also have games in the back which would be fun to check out if you have kids.

Went in on Saturday 13th and was immediately approached and told there were no tables available. I totally get it we needed to wait for a table. So we set at the little chairs by front door waiting for a table to open. This is when a second employee told us we couldn't sit there as it blocked the aisle??? WTF? Why are there chairs there then? She rudely told us that we needed to stand outside in the 5 degree temp until a table opened. Both employees had terrible people skills and were not polite. I would suggest going elsewhere
