Very cute spot! We had dinner plans elsewhere so we just stopped in for a drink and snack. I would definitely like to come back again for food. Located in a cute neighborhood, we found street parking easily. The cocktails we had were all great, except for my one friend she didn't see that her drink was made with mescal so she sent it back. No one in the group liked mescal enough to drink it for her... it's horrible... such alcohol abuse ;) Normally I would never let a good cocktail go to waste, but even I don't enjoy mescal enough, had it been any other spirit no problem. Thankfully the staff was gracious and accommodating, took it back no issue and removed from the bill. We sat outside on the patio. I didn't even go inside. Lovely outdoor seating! If I was local I'd come back sooner, but next time I'm visiting I'll be sure to return and try some food beyond the flatbread, which was tasty btw.

Love the decor here

Love West Side Tavern! It's such a gem in Longmont. If you're into cozy, charming bars/restaurants that feel like you're in someone's home then this is the place for you. I've been a few times and this most recent time we popped in for some drinks and apps and sat at the bar. Let me start by saying that the service was excellent. Tony was our bartender and he was amazing. We sat around 4:40pm on a Wednesday and it got pretty busy throughout our time there. Tony handled both a full main bar and service bar like a champ and still remained friendly and attentive whipping up incredible cocktails. We ordered a few drinks and loved them all - Sage Against the Machine (my fav! The scent of sage paired with the blackberry is a marriage I'd return to again and again), Bada Bing (my least favorite, but still very good - especially the touch of rosemary), 3rd Ave Old Fashioned (a really great take on an Old Fashioned), Smokin' Gun (I would order this any time. It was delicious and loved that it's smoked table-side for that perfect campfire scent. Gin is my spirit of choice and I love an old fashioned so this was the perfect combo). Drinks get a 10/10 ranking and their whiskey selection alone is super impressive. We spent a large part of our time there looking at the countless bottles that adorn the walls and liquor case. We've also ordered a little bit of food, but not enough to give it a solid ranking. This time around we got the frites and buffalo cauliflower. Great happy hour prices and the apps are tasty and a good portion. This has quickly become one of our favorite spots to visit in Longmont. It has a ton of character and just good quality cocktails at a reasonable price.

What's left of our bourbon torte

We were in town for just dinner and randomly stumbled across this spot. It was super busy which was expected for a Friday night and didn't have a reservation but got sat at the "Tiki Bar" outside in under two minutes. The temperature was perfect outside but they even had heaters in case we got too cold! We had the Smash Hit cocktail, burrata appetizer, Mixed Grill (Lamb, Beef, Sausage), and the Bourbon Torte (I think that's how you spell it). Everything was delicious, I think this was the best dessert I've ever had. Not being dramatic. Although it was busy, the staff was always so kind and attentive. It was a great, friendly, fast paced environment. The owner (I think) even came to check on us a few times and give us recommendations on what to order. Such a great experience at this local restaurant, highly recommend! I also love the Halloween decorations!

Very nice neighborhood pub and restaurant. If only there was adequate parking it would be perfect. But then it would be too accessible.

Overpriced cocktails and a $16 grilled cheese don't make up for the "cool" (read: cliche) vibe of this place. Service was fine.

What's not to like? To pick a nit, the wine selection is too limited but the food, service and ambience were top shelf.

We decided to travel into Longmont to meet our cousin for dinner and this place came highly…read morerecommend The interior is gorgeous- love the greenery and bright lighting of the dining room. We were also offered bar seating or the enclosed patio- so there are many options. Based on others reviews, we needed to order the banging cauliflower- and it was excellent. Highly recommend. I ordered the Chilean salmon and it was HUGE so took half of it home for lunch tomorrow. Very tasty. Husband has the crab cakes- they were pretty thin but there were three of them. It would have been better with more lump crab- the sauce and sweet potatoes were tasty. Our cousin enjoyed her ahi tuna bowl. Service was excellent! laurel took great care of us. Parking can be tight - so give yourself some time to find a spot.

When we first came in on a Sunday afternoon around 3, the place was totally empty. Despite that,…read morethey said we could only sit at the bar or on the rooftop. I was a little irritated, as it was slightly breezy, but I got over that quick once I tried the food. We had the steak frites, the Thai pork tacos, an old fashioned, and the chocolate decadence for dessert. The steak frites were great- the truffle fries were seasoned with garlic, and served with a great cream sauce. The steak was perfectly cooked rare. Super tender. But the tacos absolutely stole the show. Sweet and spicy with a touch of crunch, and the potato fries were stellar too! The old fashioned really let the whiskey shine, with just a touch of citrus. I think I would try a different dessert though- the decadence was good but didn't quite live up to the tacos. The interior was decorated very cute- mid century modern mixed with plants and some neon signs that said cute things. Our server was excellent- very friendly and on top of it. Overall, I would unquestionably come back next time I am in the area, and suggest you go there too. It's totally worth it.
