"Westwood is a Marina country bar, and if that wasn’t apparent, turn your head to the mechanical bull, "Howdy Y'all" sign, antler chandeliers, and a multitude of American flags. So feel free to pull out your square dancing skills on one of the two dance floors while taking in the unapologetic tribute to Americana. If country music isn’t actually your scene, the downstairs basement is where to be. There you’ll find a surprisingly large space where you can bop around with a group of 20-somethings who just moved to the city, and dance to Top 40, hip hop, and the occasional reggaeton song. The line to get in is always long, and you’ll likely have to brave a bouncer who always seems to be on the verge of asking, “Who do you know here?” But a trip to Westwood is still sometimes worth the messy journey." - ricky rodriguez
"One reason to come to this Western-themed Marina bar: the mechanical bull. While you wait for your turn, square dance (alone, probably) on one of the biggest dance floors in the Marina. When your turn arrives, remember that the official rules state you hang on with one hand—but the unofficial rules say who cares about that because getting bucked off this machine is way scarier than it looks from the ground." - julia chen 1, will kamensky

"The mechanical bull is still kicking. Westwood western bar is back in action on May 12, serving smoked brisket, barbecue ribs, and bourbon sours. The restaurant closed doors for a few weeks while opening new sister restaurant Wilder." - Becky Duffett
"Westwood, the sibling restaurant to Wilder, is known for its barbecue and is currently using the space for outdoor dining until Wilder opens for indoor dining in mid-May." - Ellen Fort
