We loved the concept of a full bar with specialty cocktails and a pour your own drink as you go vending space. We talked with the leader of this spot for a long time, and he is very attuned to what it takes to make his employees and his customers happy and fulfilled. Please visit this establishment and show them some love , you will be pleasantly surprised, I promise!

First time visit to the new little tavern but I was about as impressed as I could be. The variety…read moreof drinks & setup of the taps means you can spend hours there without breaking the bank or having too much of a flavor you don't prefer. It is a small space so crowding could happen easier than at most establishments but I liked the size as well. There was only one guy running the whole space but he did a good job with the 20 or so people who cycled through while I was there. Of the small food menu only had the pretzel but it was among the best I've ever had! Hopefully a food place moves in that they can partner with to increase the possibilities for food beyond frozen pizzas & the pretzel. That is as close to a complaint as I had but the excellence of the twist made up for the lack of options.

Lauren was our bartender and absolutely crushed it. Super friendly, quick with recommendations, and clearly knows the menu. She talked me into trying the Peaky Blinder Chicken Sandwich. Sweet, spicy, smoky perfection. It's officially my favorite thing on the menu. She also makes THE BEST Bloody Mary. Love that it's 21+, so no kids running around -- just chill vibes, great specials every single day, and people who actually want to be there. I'll definitely be back. Saddle up and give it a try.

The flavors were wonderfully "homemade," evoking such a comforting, rustic charm. At around $10, the value is simply unbeatable for such a delightful experience. It was, quite frankly, the highlight of my evening. I shall certainly be returning soon!

Watered down drinks and no safety protocols…read more I haven't been to a bar since before the pandemic and after seeing a packed parking lot, I almost didn't come into Pub West. The first things that I noticed were no masks (not even staff), no social distancing and dozens of rowdy people in very close proximity. In fact, there were probably over 100 people in this modestly sized bar. I ordered two gin and tonics that were both heavily watered down. At $4 each, I can't complain too much. I have to come back to safety measures. I didn't know if I should be appalled or not, but the fact that not one person in this bar was wearing a mask really disturbed me. Is this a North Dakota thing, just a fluke or do most bars operate like this? Social distancing was neither encouraged nor followed here. As soon as our drinks were finished, we bolted out. Due to no apparent safety protocols and watered down drinks, I cannot say that I had a particularly enjoyable time at Pub West.

We thought we found a quieter place to enjoy a visit with my brother and daughter ! And it was…read morequiet. Then suddenly the 3 or so guys at the bar started literally hollering from one end of the bar to the other. This was with no competition ie music or anything! Extremely obnoxious and no respect shown for others. Even the group in the adjoining hall closed the overhead door to avoid the noise! Seriously it was maybe 3-4 guys sitting at the bar and the bartender was the worst for being loud. And no bottle beers. Just pounder cans. And some lame excuse that customers or someone were breaking the glass bottles. Does anyone have a suggestion for a nice quiet place to enjoy a beer with adult family! Cuz this ain't it! Thanks
