Editorial Review for West End Tavern – by Theresa M. Pedone

The Scene
Snuggled in the midst of analogous watering holes and boutiques lives this cozy haunt, perched on the edge of Lakewood and Rocky River. A medium-sized pub, this wooded-neighborhood staple is filled with dimly lit booths and a sundry of wobbly tables. The bar is teeming with anxious patrons wavering between Guinness, Crooked River and Bass while attempting to harmonize with the Dave Matthews bellowing from the jukebox.

The Draw
If the beer on tap is any indication, the West End attracts the Abercrombie circle recently released from the warm embrace of university walls. In walking distance for many apartment dwellers, the bar also appeals to happy-hour revelers interested in rubbing elbows with young hotshots for free career advice and romantic connections.

Insider Tips

The Extras

The West End's eats are a blend of requisite fried bar grub as well as more substantial dishes like chicken penne in olive oil or cream sauce and the mouth-watering crab cakes entree.

The crowd makes this bar so inviting. They also have good food and friendly bartenders. The bathrooms are a wee bit tiny. This bar gets packed always on weekends and other nights as well. It is close to several other nice bars, which make it a nice place to bar hop.

Pros: A good crowd

Cons: Bathrooms are too small, may have no where to sit.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Saturday Mornings: Bloody Mary Bar & Brunch Sunday Mornings: Great Brunch This place is always crowded for a good reason! The brunch is wonderful! It is worth the wait which is not usually more then 10 minutes... and you can always seat yourself at the bar and be served as well. The owner has always been friendly, and the food has always been perfect. Comfortable atmosphere. Clean. Great place to take family or friends!

Pros: Great Brunch, Bloody Mary Bar, Casual

Cons: Crowded
