Westland Roe

I wiuld give this a 3.5. This place a fancy Irish bar. I like the ambiance but man is it expensive. Everything. The food was good. The service was a little spotty. I did see one of the bartenders leave the restroom without washing his hands and walk directly back to the bar. So, there's that. Hence the lower rating. It's not a terrible place its just really really overpriced and loud.

Westland Roe has such a warm and inviting vibe — the perfect spot on the Upper West Side. The atmosphere is cozy yet stylish, with friendly service that makes you feel at home right away. Drinks are strong and well-made, portions are generous, and everything comes out quickly. It’s a great place whether you’re on a date, catching up with friends, or just looking for a neighborhood gem to unwind. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to often!

A sophisticated yet very down to earth bar that is ever so welcoming. The staff is attentive And it attracts eye candy. Mostly a great place to hang and chill. The bartenders are all amazing but the staff is so warm. They look after the little things. And they create an environment that the neighborhood deserves. Finally. A proper bar on the UWS

So enjoyed our dinner! A very happy surprise. Casual fine dining in the neighborhood. Never tried it in its previous incarnation, but was curious about the latest version and attracted by the high food ratings. So glad we bore the brutal frigid temps. Food, service and ambience were all excellent. Highly recommend!

We came here for a nice pre-show dinner before a show and we're very happy with our experience here! The drinks were well portioned and delicious- my fiancee lived the house pilot grigio. We had the shepherds pie and bangers and mash and both were absolutely delicious. Service was very friendly and on point - even with the crowd for an NFL game they were very attentive. We'll be back when we're next in the area.

Baked Brie rocked but I was charged $15 for a $8 happy hour drink. When I brought it up they said their Whisky Sour is a “specialty cocktail” which is absolutely absurd. I explicitly said well whisky, and they refused to do anything about it.

Update... Just tried the food here tonight, every dish we had was amazing. The lamb burgers in particular were out of this world. We are all thankful to have this restaurant re-opened in the neighborhood!... We used to dine at the former restaurant in this UWS location all of the time. The food and atmosphere were always outstanding. The previous restaurant closed, and the space had sat empty now for more than 5 years. We really missed this neighborhood spot, and much to our delight, we walked by this establishment the other night and noticed a new restaurant, Westland Roe, has been re-opened in the space. The menu looks great, and we absolutely cannot wait to try it out here!

We had a very interesting NYE spent at Westland Roe. My friends and I made a reservation for two tables to enjoy the NYE celebration, about 10 of us. Nowhere on the reservation was a cover or drink minimum listed. That being said, we arrived, several of us coming separately and catching up for a bit at the table before getting orders in. After being there about 30 minutes, several of us with drinks already in hand, who we assume is the General Manager came to our tables telling us we need to order more drinks or she would forfeit our table as we were wasting space taking up too tables and not ordering enough. Mind you, was there a line at the door of people waiting to be seated? No. We also looked around the room at several tables who either hadn’t started drinking, weren’t drinking at all, or were drinking modestly. We pointed out that six of us had drinks in our hands, and she combatively pointed to my boyfriend, stating, “He has a soda.” We assured her, we would be drinking more, we simply just arrived and were getting settled in. She left the table, restating her point that we weren’t drinking enough. We had a good night; drinks were decent and DJ was subpar, but bar staff and service otherwise was great. We split several tabs across the tables, and I know that the tab between my boyfriend, our friend, and I alone was over $300 so fingers crossed we met her requirements that were not stated or communicated anywhere! Funny thing is we were planning to spend that much, if not more, from the beginning, regardless of if she told us off or not. Although we had a fun night after all of that, her comments and defensiveness really did irk me, as we had a couple sober people in the group who weren’t planning to drink and it’s not lovely to hear that we’re not drinking enough, even though a drink minimum was not listed anywhere in the reservation and was not communicated otherwise. I as well as several people in our group work in customer service and retail/food service managerial roles and we were appalled at the way we were spoken to, being that we would never allow our teams to treat our customers this way. Unfortunately, I don’t see any of us returning in the foreseeable future. What a disappointment.

My wife and I were heading to a show at the nearby Beacon Theater and came across the Westland Roe as I did a search of the area. Figured it was casual enough to get a quick yet hearty bite while knowing we needed to take a quick walk for the start of our show. First, I had made a reservation and did not get there on time...I totally own that. Nonetheless, they were more than accommodating and sat us almost immediately despite being pretty busy. That said, we were served in very quick fashion and everything we ordered was great. I did not take a photo of the seasonal drink my wife had which she enjoyed. I had an epic pint of Yuengling. Pictured are the tacos we had as an appy and then I had the buffalo chicken wrap, my wife had the (unpictured lol) shepherd's pie. The waiter came through which a brown sauce which he said was the staple to have with a shepherd's pie and he was not wrong. It was a great vibe for a Saturday night. Super casual spot with a large bar and open seating across the bar and then table service in the back which is where we sat. If you are in the area for a show or just in the area, drop in! Well worth it!

Not bad....Came here after going to a comedy show at the Beacon... Had a burger and drink and it didn't disappoint..... If you in the areas stop in grab a whisky and burger....

FALSE ADVERTISING ON NEW YEARS EVE--NO COMPLIMENTARY CHAMPAGNE: I saw the attached poster on Westland Roe's Instagram page advertising no cover charge and complimentary champagne for New Years Eve. Sounds like a cool offer, right? We entered the bar at 10:30 PM and to my surprise, it was not that full. We ended up at one of the many empty "reserved" tables and ordered four cocktails with our server and asked him for four waters. I believe our server was the guy in the photo with his arms up. We asked him several times for waters and he did not bring them. If the restaurant was busy, I could understand him forgetting / ignoring us, but it was not busy at all, and there were a lot of people staffed. That was strike one. As it got closer to midnight, we started seeing a handful of people holding glasses of champagne. I remembered that the Instagram poster promised everyone complimentary champagne so I asked the same server for glasses. He snapped at us "one minute!" And proceeded to stand in the corner with his friends with his arms in the air for 10 minutes. Now, a glass of prosecco on Westland Roe's menu only costs $10, so we could have bought it ourselves: that's not the issue. But if you're going to advertise complimentary champagne, you should have one bartender and one server going around giving every single patron a glass. Last night, my experience was that only a select few lucky patrons were allowed to receive complimentary champagne and it was only (1) if they asked for it, and (2) if they asked the right server or bartender. It's the principle. Don't advertise free champagne if you're not going to give it to everyone.

4 for early dinner before a show, we walked in and the small crowd was loud as they watched a game on TV. Seated quickly and drink orders taken. Ordered regular nachos,quest cheese spread over a pile of chips, one dollop of sour cream and guacamole one end of the plate. Presentation not great but tasty. Ordered fish&chips, Roe burger, Cesar salad and roasted Brussels sprouts. Everything was great. The waiters were perfect, friendly, helpful, quick and efficient there was never an empty glass or plate on the tables and never ask how things are while our mouth was full. Like the website said, it's the best place to go before going to the Beacon.

Came here for New Year's eve towards the later side of the night. It was popping and everyone was having a great time. The bartenders were nice and my friends got nachos and a sliders and it looked good. I was happy that the bartender's and the waiters asked what kind of gin I wanted for my gin and tonic. Most places just use the house gin if not asked for a different kind. I would come back here and try out their food and other cocktails. The space is a good sized and they have high top tables in the front area and maybe tables in back but there were no tables that I saw in the back as it was for the dance floor.

Dear Westland Roe, I am so happy that you're about to approach your 1st anniversary and are doing so well! I hope you have many more anniversaries to come! You've encapsulated the traditional Irish bar vibe while maintaining an amazingly friendly and approchable staff, chic while cozy atmosphere and just the overall feeling of a "home away from home". The menu is extensive and the fact you serve food until 3am is just mind-blowing! Am so glad to have found you and your hospitality, especially after a long work-week. Just a note, coat hooks under and by the tables would be greatly welcomed! Cheers, or, Sláinte! Liana

Solid pub with a great happy hour! The day i went there was a show at the Beacon, so it was definitely very busy and loud (the waitress said even louder than usual), so definitely something to check beforehand/keep in mind if you're going for a quieter or more intimate experience. Food was decent - the Brussel sprouts and burger were solid, though I wouldn't get the flatbread again. All in all left happy we went but would strategize differently next time!

Bar service severely lacking due to bartender far more interested in chatting up one particular customer rather than doing his job. I keep trying to give this place a chance but it just isn't happening.

Dropped in here with friends prior to seeing a show at the Beacon. I used to patronize a really good Turkish restaurant on the street, which unfortunately closed. Westland is a fairly typical pub with assorted drink and food options. Very good selection of beers. Burgers were excellent and the fries crisp with some skin. Service was a bit spotty. Had to ask for menus and then had to ask again in order to get food menus. Drinks are on one menu and food is on another. Prices are moderate. Location is perfect if you're looking for drinks or a bite for a concert at the Beacon theater.

With a new spot in the neighborhood, really wished I had better things to say. Positive: drinks were good. Atmosphere was good. Negatives: service. Completely awful. Didn't even have water for about 45 minutes. Food - - only thing I ordered was the dumplings, awful. The bartender recommended them to me and they were so bad I only had one. Salty and overcooked. Recommendations: if you want to go for casual drinks (again this is just based on the bartender I had), it's good if you have patience - but she made good drinks. Based on food I had, would not recommend the food but willing to take it another try

Slow service: Our food took over an HOUR to come out. After 40 min I asked the server to check in the kitchen, otherwise didn't receive any updates. There was only one main server and a bartender. So service was slow all around. Food: When it was finally served, it was pretty good. We were there around 10:30am on a Saturday and was a bit disappointed there's no brunch menu, just one menu. So we ordered bar food apps - fries, onion rings, pigs in a blanket, mini tacos- and salads. My caesar salad was heavy on the dressing but otherwise okay. Warning there is a credit card surcharge. Given all the dishes and drinks were either standard or slightly pricey (standard fries priced at $9), I'm surprised there's another charge for just paying with credit card... for a group like ours who is paying with all cash? If I'm being honest I would rate lower, but want to extend some grace because it's a new business. I hope they take this feedback into account.

Clean place and great to watch a game if you want chill vibes. The wings were well flavored and had a decent amount of meat on them

Popped in before seeing a movie and this spot rocks. Close to Lincoln Center and AMC Lincoln Square. They have a great happy hour deal and friendly bartenders. Their regulars seem to love them. The HH marg was good, and the buffalo cauliflower was a perfect snack. I came in and sat right at the bar. Had a lovely time. Will be back for more drinks and snacks!

Super clean and nice open bar - it's a leveled up Irish pub with really great service. Tried a few apps and they came out fast and were good. I enjoyed it here - definitely will come back!

Westland Roe is such a gem on the Upper West Side. The space has a cozy charm with warm lighting and a welcoming vibe that makes it perfect for dinner or drinks any night of the week. Service was attentive and friendly, and everything came out fast and fresh. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming. stylish enough for a date night but comfortable enough to come with friends. Easily one of my favorite neighborhood spots!

Very nice staff but very small portions for the pricing. Cool vibes but not sure I'd come back

Another great addition to the UWS. This space has been vacant forever so I am thrilled to see it come to life with such a fun, lively, and attractive pub. The beau and I popped in on a Saturday night and got a table in the back. The bar was full of patrons clearly enjoying the highly anticipated addition. Decent cocktails at a decent price and the food was pretty darn good. The generous piece of fish (and chips) was served piping hot with pretty standard fries. The fish was tasty and succulent. While the burger isn't the best I've ever had, it's perfectly respectable. Love that you can sub onion rings for the fries too! All of the servers are friendly and help each other out. Already looking forward to coming back.

Awesome to see this location open after it being boarded up for so long. Jamie the bartender is fabulous and love his energy. He was welcoming and was checking on everyone frequently to ensure everyone was satisfied. Happy Hour (see pic) is quite good. Haven't tried the food yet but will absolutely return! Great vibe and super clean!

Cute after work bar with a great happy hour deal. Without the HH pricing, expect to pay $18+ per cocktail. Highly recommend getting a side of their delicious fries

Great local bar. Good service, food, and drinks. Lots of TVs to watch a game. Good vibes.

Really enjoyed this new spot in the neighborhood! Ambience is nice, well-lit, inviting, not too loud. Service was friendly and wonderful. Happy hour until 7 pm is generous and inviting after work! Food felt like they were still finding their stride, a little overpriced and not anything memorable. Still, excited to have this new spot, will be back!!

Everything! From making a reservation to choosing a table, we could not have been more pleased. The people who served us were just delightful. And the food was excellent! This restaurant is highly recommended!

Quite simply a breath of fresh air but a few steps away from the West 72nd St 1, 2, 3 subway station, Gray's Papaya & intersection of Broadway & Amsterdam (smell that?). Suggestion from a lifelong resident of West 72nd St aka Monopoly cheat code: just "Advance to GO" aka Westland Roe & create memories in the company of others or the attentive, well-trained & always-friendly, ever-engaging staff & then make all other decisions. Cheers!

This bad has really great food. I went to place a take out order because I don't typically like how loud bars are (and this is no different) and I have no regrets! The staff were friendly and took the time to take our order, then our food was out relatively quick. I ordered one of their burgers and it was massive! Definitely filled me up and was tasty, too!

Wanted to grays papaya -- sure. Have some words why they closed ... Food was awful, drinks were fine. Service was great. But geeeez the food is bag here

You'll appreciate the food. This place has atmosphere down to a science. The dishes I received had great taste. Learning customer preferences shows you care. In summary, service was good and I want to come back.

Came here with friends and kids on a recent. Is it to New York. Food drinks and service all great and made for a memorable evening. Appetizers were great as well in a casual laid back environment.

I want to withdraw my negative review of Westland Roe.They invited me back and the meal and hospitality were first rate.

Stopped by for a quick bite with a friend, the ambiance inside is inviting and even a bit romantic if you come at the right time of night! The service was friendly (maybe a bit understaffed but who isn't these days) to my friend and I with our requests and adjustments to our good. The menu has a wide variety to accommodate most groups, I had a veggie burger and I've gotta say the bun was great! They did tell us the veggie burger and a lot of the dishes are homemade, I love to see it. The fries weren't the most satisfying for me (I think because they are hand cut and I love a gourmet crispy fry or a crunchy sweet potato fry). There are a LOT of TV's across the joint, so probably a great place to watch sports too.

Great hamburger and delicious fries! Handsome bartenders, great service, very clean and fun music with a great vibe. We had a blast and are coming back!

Newly opened bar/restaurant. Been here a few times for only drinks which were good. The interior is beautifully done. The service at both the bar and seating is friendly. Had the fried chicken sandwich most recently and unfortunately it was a little bland and the chicken was chewy. Will definitely come back and try other menu items.

Great bar and nice to see this space finally occupied. I think it was vacant for 7+ years after Paul Hurley closed his bar. Very nice open space and good decor. Very friendly and welcoming bartender. They play good music. I haven't tried the food yet but the menu looks very reasonably priced.

Amazing place, with amazing home cooked food at very reasonable prices. Generous drinks menu with lots to choose from. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Music is also very good with a nice atmosphere. Great new up and coming place. The place to be in NYC.

Great addition to the UWS. Had a holiday party there last week for 30 people. Food and service were both excellent. We ate from the full menu and they were very efficient. Staff are lovely and friendly. I look forward to returning. Highly recommend.

Great new bar in an area that has few bar options. Lively crowd, good food, nice selection of drinks. Service is excellent.

Been twice now and Niamh and Seamus each took great care of us, lovely a pint of Guinness as you'll get in the city, can't wait to go back now that their kitchen is open! Instant local go-to and so close off the 72nd St. 1

Such a fun place. Finally a real Irish pub in the UWS. Food is great and atmosphere is better. Thank you for joining our hood.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Fun atmosphere. Had the vegan flatbread and my date had a burger with a pint. Everything was delicious. We will be back!

Met a dear friend today for lunch at Westland Roe. Had a great pint of Guinness with my Shepherd's pie. Awesome server. Look forward to going back.

Great new restaurant. Exciting new addition. Had my Run Club holiday party there last night. The service was amazing considering we had 100 people. Only had the sliders and egg rolls type things. Both were good. Highly highly recommend visit and trying them out. Support local great businesses.
