Westside Motor Lounge

"We usually head to Westside Motor Lounge when we want to heckle shuffleboard or cornhole players while sipping a frozen Pink Cadillac Margarita. Three auto repair shops were revamped to create this spacious eat-and-play complex that features two bars, a roomy seating area, and sprawling green space with yard games. The massive outdoor area is the perfect spot for large groups or for when your four-legged friends want to join in an outing. Aside from the relaxed outdoor oasis, it’s worth a pit stop here for their creamy, five-cheese mac—our favorite thing on the menu, thanks to jalapeño cornbread crumbles that add a tiny burst of spiciness and crunch. But our runner-up is the juicy smash burger, which has a good-sized patty despite being smashed on the grill." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard

"Beginning November 29, you can rock the night away to live tunes and DJ sets with Disco Santa, Dancing Elves, and even competing Grinches getting footloose at this holiday extravaganza. It’s open every Wednesday to Sunday through New Year’s Eve. The indoor/outdoor space will be slinging holiday-themed drinks." - Su-Jit Lin, Eater Staff

"The Westside Motor Lounge is a former auto repair space that’s now a spacious eat-and-play complex with two bars, a roomy seating area, and sprawling green space with yard games. Grab one of their strong cocktails like the frozen Pink Cadillac Margarita, then find a good spot (and there are plenty) to post up and spectate all the gaming action. When you’ve finally mustered the courage to try your hand at shuffleboard or cornhole, just know the kitchen is waiting on you with a juicy smash burger and five-cheese mac with jalapeño cornbread crumbles if ever/whenever you’re all played out." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard

"Located on the corner of Northside Drive and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, Westside Motor Lounge takes over two former automotive shops, four shipping containers, and a 1982 Mercedes Wagon, transforming the site into three dining, drinking, and entertainment spaces. Outdoor seating includes conversation areas, a covered patio, and seating under the stars and string lights throughout the sprawling property. The restaurant here serves a menu of Southern dishes and snacks. West Bar, a cocktail lounge and listening room on the western side of the property, features a game room. A beer garden completes the entertainment complex, with a serving station and draft system located in a converted shipping container." - Eater Staff
