West Beach Tavern

Great food and friendly staff! They even have a wide variety of board games everyone can play. We've been twice, and will continue to go back!

Parking lot is terrible, inside is very dirty and smells like cigarettes, the food was not that great. Service was ok.

This is the worst bar/restaurant I have ever been to. I was very upset to receive the service and witness the things that I have. I really don't know where to begin. Both times that I have been to this business it was a complete disaster. Let's start with the customer service the bar tenders were very vulgar when speaking and did not tend to none of the customers as they should have, the drinks were half made and the liquor is not real. I ordered a straight shot of Gold José Quevo & it had a vanilla taste to it. I asked about it and the bar tender I believe her name was either Kelly or Kayla , responded "you can either order another or pay for the one you had". I was caught by the response it was very unprofessional , I asked how much longer on my food , mind you I've already been waiting for 40 mins if not a hour. She told me " do you want under cooked food ?" At this point I was just ready to go and did not appreciate how I was being treated. When my food finally came out , this was the big disappointment , I saw the great reviews on the food and cook , I order Lemon Pepper Chicken wings with a side of fries and jalapeño bites , my chicken was pink and chewy the fries were soggy , the only thing was made right was the jalapeño bites & that's probably because all they had to do was fry them. But get this so I'm WALKING OUT STILL LEFT A $10 TIP AND AS IM WALKING OUT A FUCKING WATERBUG RUNS ACROSS MY FEET ! I threw the food away & made to sure come back when the manager was there. Talking to her I see why the establishment is ran how it is. Her mouth is filthy , she told me that she has been in the Bar business over 10+ years and she doesn't appreciate me acting the way I did towards her employees and that I'm not welcomed back to her place of business. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO NOBODY ! The atmosphere of the whole place is very displeasing. Smells like cigarettes , the prices are ridiculous and the service was horrible!

If it wasn't for a Plant Nite event being held here, I would probably have never entered West Beach Tavern by choice. But it wasn't bad at all.Is it a hole in the wall? Yes. Are some of the "regulars" a bit sketchy? Yes. But the staff was super friendly; and from time to time, attempted to "save" my friend and me from one of those regular's constant convo attempts throughout our time there. Food was pretty good as well. Typical bar food. My friend ordered a philly cheese sandwich with fries and her plate was overflowing with food. Huge serving! She enjoyed it. I snagged some of her fries (hand cut style), which were pretty tasty. I opted to order fried mushrooms. The appetizer was freshly made and delicious. My tab, comprised of the mushroom app and 2 Stella Artois, was a little over $20. The ladies restroom area is clean...always important in my book. In addition to the room for large events and the bar, there are tables for eating with 2 pool tables in the middle. Overall, a pleasant experience. Would I come again? Maybe for another Plant Nite.

This is your typical hole in the wall bar. Seriously. Why do I give it 5 stars, you ask? Simple. This bar is so incredibly diverse, with such a good, upbeat vibe. The atmosphere alone will bring you back. It's a local hangout most days, but Tuesday nights they do their "dj open mic night, so to speak. That's the night I usually go. It's usually not a huge crowd, but it is growing since more and more people are hearing about it. It's a good mix of so many different people coming together over music. There's no negativity. No fighting. No competing. Just good times, good beats, and good company. As for the bar itself; the drinks are good, the food is decent, the staff is awesome. Drinks aren't watered down or too strong. Food is your typical bar food, but anything I've had I've thoroughly enjoyed. The bartenders to out of their way to make customers feel welcomed and like one or the regulars. Go. Give it a chance. It looks like hell. But you won't regret it. Especially on a Tuesday.

I've only visited West Beach Tavern a couple of times. It's a small neighborhood, hole in the wall bar, tucked away on Cleveland Avenue, but the drinks and food are good! Laura and Mark are very friendly and fun to talk to. Mark made me a great chicken sandwich

I love West Beach. The bartenders are awesome, super friendly. When they throw parties, there is always a great turnout. The music selection is unbeatable and whenever they have a DJ there, he does a great job.Taco Tuesday's are great, though I don't recommend the fish tacos....never seem to be enough fish in them. Drinks are poured just right and priced well. Tons of drink specials.Some of the customers can be a drag sometimes, but the bartenders make me happy. Bring a friend!

I went to tavern because I heard there was latin music playing. The place was completely empty and they still charged cover charge just to go in. I didn't eat so I can't really say anything about the food. There was water on the floor and was there all night without anyone drying it up. Someone could have hurt themselves.

If you want a chill ass bar where djs playing dope ass music, bangin taco specials, stiff arm strong drinks this is the place. If your looking for a quiet bar where people don't speak this is not the place. It's nothing but love as soon as you walk through the door. On Tuesday night they have a night called music lab where 3 djs play! Dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
