I visited Bar West recently and had an overall great experience! We arrived around 1:30 PM, just in time for their bottomless mimosas deal for $14 until 2 PM--a fantastic bargain. After about three mimosas, I was feeling a little tipsy, so they definitely get the job done! Later, I ordered a few mixed drinks and shots, which were equally enjoyable and well-made.
For food, I tried the chicken tenders and nachos. The chicken tenders were perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside and tender inside--and came with a side of fries. My friend had the chicken club sandwich and thought it was delicious. However, the nachos were a mixed bag. Two of my friends ordered them and were surprised by the portion size, which is big enough to share. While the flavors were good, the toppings felt haphazardly thrown on top, with not enough cheese evenly distributed. They had to request extra cheese, and for an additional $4 the meat was a bit cold and chewy. It would've been better if the nachos were better presented or if some of the toppings were served on the side. Though I did not get to try their entire brunch menu. I would like to come back and give that a go!
Another friend ordered sliders, but unfortunately, they didn't come with fries. When they ordered fries separately, the serving size was very generous--easily sharable. Unfortunately I didn't get to snap a photo of every dish but will try to get some more in next time.
We visited on a game day, and the atmosphere was lively but not too crowded until about 3:30 PM. they have tv's everywhere so you're not missing out on anything! I also learned that the venue turns into a nightclub later in the evening, which I didn't get to experience yet.
The service was excellent, with attentive staff checking in regularly. While the food was enjoyable but not amazing (I'd rate it 3/5), the overall experience--thanks to the drinks, service, and ambiance--deserves a solid 4/5 stars. I had a fun time and I would definitely return!
