Patrick is the sweetest and most attentive bartender you’ll meet. The options are amazing and cocktails, entertainment and ambiance are beautiful.

Your mixologist Pat recorded patrons from your bars security feed and made fun of them on his Instagram story .All they were doing is waiting in line for the business to open . It was posted yesterday and has now since been deleted . For someone who seems “so grateful “ on their social media feed to have this job it definitely doesn’t seem like it . These people pay your bills. The bar is wonderful , but if this is the type of people you hire I’m absolutely not coming back .

We happened upon the West End Lounge by chance, and we’re so glad we did. From the ambiance and welcoming crowd to the attentive service and reasonable prices, everything came together for a fantastic night out. I only wish I could remember the bartender’s name, he made an exceptional Old Fashioned. We’ll definitely be back.
