Westside Sports Bar & Lounge- West Melbourne, FL 4.5 Stars…read more "Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch." - Orson Welles Glancing down at my name generator, I couldn't help but chuckle a bit. I was headed to West Melbourne to check out Westside Sports Bar & Lunge. I was chuckling as in my mind it's still the 80s and West Melbourne is a wasteland, not the teeming metropolis it is today. Shaking my head, I headed OTB. I love my sleepy little island community, but even I had to admit that the Melbourne Metropolitan Area has grown leaps and bounds and I like it. More businesses are moving in and that means, yep, you guessed it, more eating establishments. To that end, I pulled into the lot of Westside Sports Bar & Lounge, parked and went about the business of providing the working public with unsullied food reviews. I was greeted warmly upon entering a lovely lady who introduced herself as Mandy. Mandy is my bartender, waitress and cook today and she has to be the most non-oleaginous person I have met wearing all of these hats In fact, she was quite the opposite exuding the patina of a bar warrior. I asked Mandy for a single malt, neat, one Cheeseburger (medium-rare), one order of 6 Wings (medium heat) and a Philly Cheesesteak. As Mandy turned to get to work on my grub, I took a moment to take in the joint. I love coming to bars early, you can smell the stale alcohol and fun from the night before. Mandy returned with my Scotch and I must say, it looked like a good 3 oz pour...very generous. As I am 163 days sober, I won't be tasting it, but what a bang for your buck. The place is loaded with fun games and had a classic inviting bar atmosphere (think local watering hole). Mandy soon returned with my standard bar fare and I turned my attention to the job at hand. While the food may have been the standard found in Sports Bars across this great land of ours, this was far from ordinary. The Cheeseburger was cooked to a perfect rare and served on a grilled bun (my favorite kind of bun). The onions, lettuce and tomato were all garden fresh and generously applied with just the right amount of mayo. The wings were cooked to perfection and the sauce had just the right amount of "oomph" to know you had a bit of heat in your mouth. There was a complex mix of sweet, tangy and heat that made my taste buds do a little shimmy. Moving on to the Philly Cheesesteak I paused to take in the perfect symmetry the sandwich presented. The meat was perfectly cooked, the bun seasoned and grilled and the whole thing was flawlessly executed. The Big Boy says, "If you're looking for a place to hang your hat for a bit, hunker down with some good grub and drinks with friends, look no further than Westside Sports Bar & Lounge." #bigboydiningout

Though it wasn't busy, it was still an enjoyable time. The DJ made sure everyone was involved & played a variety of music. Of course I ordered the wings & loaded fries & they came out perfectly fried. The cheese that came on the fries wasn't my favorite; it was like a canned cheese rather than melted shredded cheese. Other than that, you can't beat the prices or ambiance here!

Really wanted to give this a five star review but our family of four just didn't get good value for our money. My wife and I split the chicken nachos but they never came out so we had that taken off the bill. Our Two teenage boys ordered burgers. One came with a bag of chips and the other upgraded french fries for + $3. My wife ordered some potstickers which were okay and I added two orders of wings and had them split into 2 flavors each. Didn't realize splitting them would be an up charge. So 4 orders of 5 wings is what we got instead of 2 orders of 10 wings. We were asked if we wanted carrots and celery and we said yes. Only celery came out and we got charged an extra $1 for each of the 4 sides of wings. All together we got two burgers, one with upgraded fries, side of potstickers, 20 bone in wings with waters and that ran us $100. When we first looked at the menu, the prices seemed very reasonable. Based on all the other restaurants in the area that have good reviews, we would not come back until after we tried all places first.

Service 4 stars: We brought our dog and sat at the patio. The waitress was nice, and brought our dog some fresh water in a dog bowl. The food also came quickly. Food 2 stars... sadly! We were both very disappointed with the quality and taste of the food. We ordered the "NY Style Pizza"... it was not NY style, the crust was too thick. It looked and tasted like a frozen pizza... way overpriced! My "Fresh Catch of the Day" mahi mahi did not taste fresh and was overcooked.. very tuff! Super disappointed at every bite. Drinks... this was a toss up! My Lava Flow was tasty, but my husband's draft beer tasted like the line hasn't been cleaned out for a while.

I assume these were donated or shed over the years but either way this is a cool place to have some drinks, sit on the patio and look at the ocean or sing karaoke. It was all fun and games until I found myself on the stage singing Alan Jackson, no one wanted to hear that, trust me. Give them a try if you're in the Melbourne/Indiatlantic area. It's a bit of a dive bar so don't expect anything fancy but if you're looking for cold beers and genuine people, this is the place.

It started upstairs when the bartender was serving everyone else until i asked my non-latino looking wife to get the drinks. Then we moved downstairs and wholly crap they really discriminated against me. Im an Itlalian and the only thing we figured was is because I ook latino. Or maybe because I was dressed in business casual. Whatever it was the lady bartenders al ignored me and even served 2 guys that just walked up. I gave the cash to my wife and how irionic she was served immediately. The one bartender lady heard me state that they are ignoring me and started arguing with me wife. We received our drinks and left. Funny thing is we are military and word travels quick. Hope you ladies are proud and by the way we saw you all talking about us.

They even offer unlimited mimosas, which is always a win. This is definitely a great place to shoot some pool, watch Sunday football, and relax with friends. The atmosphere is laid-back, welcoming, and full of good vibes. The Bloody Mary experience alone is worth the visit. You get to choose from a variety of toppings, and Devin went above and beyond to make ours next-level. Hands down, it was the best Bloody Mary I've ever had. It was basically lunch on top of a drink. My best friend and I were living our best lives and enjoying every sip. Devin was such an awesome bartender that he even convinced us to add mimosas to the mix (no regrets!). We had such a great Sunday here and honestly could've stayed all day. If you're looking for a chill spot with great drinks, friendly service, and an unbeatable Sunday vibe, The Salty Fox is the place to be.

Our bartender was so sweet and really walked us through the process and gave us the best service and recommendations along with inspiration to my own Bloody Mary. I decided to make it crazy and add Dino nuggets with my normal Bloody Mary toppings and just have fun with my adult drink on a Sunday Funday. Definitely would recommend coming here because they definitely had one of the best Bloody Mary's I've had!
