street parking can be an issue at prime times. Service was friendly. The cocktail with gin and blueberry was enjoyable. The tuna melt was excellent. But get the side salad, otherwise it's just the sandwich. I would go back again. read more

We headed to this spot around 1130am on a Sunday without a reservation and we were seated right away at the tiki bar outside. My husband had the monte cristo and I had the bagel with lox. His came with some creamy gratin potatoes which were so yummy. We both got fresh fruit with fluffy yogurt which was so refreshing. Everyone sitting at the bar was super engaging and nice. The owner and the staff were amazing. A wonderful experience. We will be back! read more

Hella mid, steak frites are the best on menu, brisket is hella hard. Good vibes here but food could be better. Come here for drinks, maybe not din din read more

Food is always delicious. Ambiance is spectacular. Excellent, unique drinks. Small space, so make a reservation if you can.

Great little tavern away from Main Street. Food and cocktails are amazing. Smoked Trout Salad was ridiculously good. Best Tomato Soup in Longmont. Both of the ladies really enjoyed their Steak Frites. Awesome patio. Will be back soon! read more

Amazing food! Nothing is prepackaged everything is made fresh daily which is probably why it was so amazing! The ambiance was very cool and French like. Will definitely be coming back if I ever come back to Colorado! Recommended x100 read more

West Side Tavern - Gastropubs Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

See all

We nickname this place the dapper squirrel, and it lives up to its name as a dapper establishment! I love their cocktails and they have yummy apps as well. It is a great place to go on a summer or warm fall evening and sit in their outdoor dining section. I have yet to eat more than apps here, so definitely plan to return in the near future! read more

West Side Tavern - Gastropubs Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

I'm actually afraid to do this review... this place is tiny and getting in can be difficult as best. However, this may be the top restaurant and bar in Longmont. My wife and I have been here a couple of times for food and drinks, and a time or two for just drinks. I don't want to talk too much about specific food because they change their menu seasonally. However the pork shank and the muscles (which I'm not normally a big fan of) are fantastic. Their bartenders are probably the best in Longmont, their stock of whiskeys is 2nd to none in Longmont - maybe anyplace in the greater Denver area (The Stanley's is quite a bit bigger however). One of the bartender's made my wife a "smoking brute" that is loosely based off of a sazerac and is now my wife's favorite drink. Also thanks to them I now have a couple of extra bottles of whiskey at home. But seriously, don't go. Please. read more

Worth the trip ! A gem in Longmont. Cool outdoor cabanas can put the most pandemic fearful at ease. Attentive and friendly service. Bison Meatloaf is a must. The Steaks are very good. Brussel sprouts and mushroom flatbread are great apps. Steve the bartender is top notch. As a bourbon aficionado, had one of the best Old Fashions in a very long time - Wellers Reserve as the well bourbon ?! Wow! Great neighborhood location. Well done. read more

What a gem, great brunch and ambiance. We sat outside and enjoyed our brunch with bottomless mimosas

WONDERFUL local restaurant, yummy food and fresh drinks. The menu is unique and the atmosphere is something you won't forget. Great spot for a date night. Staff is friendly and super helpful! read more

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

Had a lovely birthday celebration here, the food was amazing: a HUGE more than enough portion!!! I enjoyed the atmosphere, friendly staff who seem to enjoy work. It's great to see a local establishment where young groups can hang alongside retired couples out for a fun night. Well done! read more

My friends and I went for brunch this morning and it was AMAZING! We got our own personal "tent" with a small heater - which was great! They had a small campfire going, too. The staff was amazing and so friendly. The owner was also walking about and helping - so friendly, checked in and refilling coffees and the whole thing. Oh man, the food... THE FOOOOOD!! So good. I got the avocado and feta eggs Benedict and it was amazing. We all got something different and we all finished every last bite. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, fun local business to support. I will definitely be back! read more

What a find, recommended to me at a networking event in Denver earlier in the week and went there after an early movie for dinner. Sat at the bar instead of outside in a warm cabana (the only option at that time without a reservation) so got to meet some locals and chat w the owner and bartender. The banana bread cocktail was delish as was the veal and sides and my partner enjoyed his meal ! Yum ! Will go back ! read more

Thomas and Sierra are amazing behind the bar, the food is exceptional and the ambiance local and comfortable. Highly recommend for a solo night bellied up to the bar or a date night on the patio. read more

My wife and I went here for a date night recently and had a great time. We sat at the bar and ordered steak frites and a couple of drinks. Everything was very good. The atmosphere was great and the staff were all very friendly. We'll be back as soon as possible. read more

Found the place by accident and happy we did! Cozy and charming atmosphere and the food was excellent! Servers, all of them that helped us were great! Drinks were wonderful too. We would highly recommend this place. It is small with both inside and outside seating. We sat outside and they have heaters by all tables. This place thinks of everything. read more

We went there for 'restaurant week', and they had a great "deal" going on -- the all meat/grill platter and two drinks for the normal price of just the platter. The cocktails were tasty, but small. The platter was all good quality and perfectly grilled. The lamb chops are always a lot of work for a little meat; but tasty. The sausage was very good. It said "with duck fig brandy" but I guess I dont know what that was, as I didn't detect it. But the best was the meat (beef tips) on the stick (shis ka bob like). I could eat just that for a meal. You could dip the meats in a small container of "sweet potato purée." And four french fries, and a plop of shredded fresh greens (slaw). The inside is dark wood, like an old English Pub. Pretty tiny; and the bar takes up maybe 40% of the room. Love the ambiance. Outside is a L-shaped patio, with canvas (?) cover, that is about 2 or 3 times the size of the interior. It looked lovely. It was October, and the weather was nice. We had to walk down the neighborhood block and find parking; which is ok. I felt bad for the residents; but, what can I say. All in all, I'd recommend it. read more

Varied and creative entrée, salad, and appetizer menu. Cozy atmosphere. Good service. Truly a neighborhood gem.

This is a hidden gem in Colorado. The drink and food menus are creative and memorable. The service is incredible. We were fortunate to dine in their private hut outside with sky lights and a heater. We will back soon - worth the drive from Lone Tree! read more

I am a little confused by the rating, I was extremely uncomfortable with my dinner with my husband. In a very small intimate restaurant with only 4 indoor tables I was faced with watching old time porno with woman strippers, dancing and fully naked women touching themselves on screen. Next to me were 2 approx 70 year old woman, 2 people came in for dinner and left which I am sure was due to the inappropriate video. This happened with 2 out of 4 tables inside. There were as many employees as customers but service was ok. Food was great, which is why the 1 star. Not worth the food for embarrassment in mixed company. I would only go back in the summer if I could set on the back porch with no videos. If you want to be neighborly, get rid of the sexual exploitation of women. There are much more you can do to keep things fun. Stop influencing the sex exploitation of women in your establishment. It is not funny! I am a totally disgusted and apalled. read more

The best place for a great meal. You will love the ambience, food & drinks. Parking is limited but you can park in the neighborhood & walk.

If you check my record, I almost never leave 5 stars. It is reserved for the perfect storm of perfection. The inside is inviting, but I opted for a seat at the tiny tiki bar since I was solo. That was a great choice! Met locals, owners, locals kids, etc. It was friendly/family/happy rolled up in one. Did I forget to mention great food? I just need to stop before this gets sloppy. read more

Great food and great service. Full bar. Bottomless mimosas and food that's quality and portioned right. Outside patio or inside dining. Wheelchair accessible. read more

I am a little late with this review since we ate in there a couple weeks ago. But Man what an amazing place! Our Bartenders were awesome and fun! My wife and I ordered some drinks look at the menu and ordered some food. The food was absolutely awesome for the price we paid. I had the special which was Mahi-mahi with angel hair pasta, broccolini, and capers. Hands down the best Mahi I have ate ever! My wife ordered the steak and fries. We also had ordered the Brussel sprouts. Man everything was awesome! That was our first time in there and didn't disappoint one bit! We had such a great night there! Prices are amazing, food is amazing and the people working there are awesome!!! My said that ordering, Turning Violet Drink is a must! read more

The food was top notch and on point, I had the Mac and cheese to start then the grilled cheese & tomato soup. The service was good not great, it seemed to be a team effort which isn't always the best in my mind. I sat outside, which was very enjoyable considering the weather was amazing. My main reason for the 4 stars is the touch and go service as well as I feel they could add some light music outside. read more

Great food! Everything we ordered was delicious. Cute upper outdoor deck. Service was great too. Prices very reasonable too. Will definitely go back! read more

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.

Made reservations for a date night outside of town (we live up north). Had a babysitter covered and headed to dinner. When we arrived the hostess was quite frazzled. Explained that the people in front of us declined to be seated as the table we were to be seated and it was not ideal. Went in to check out the accommodations and we were to be seated, with a reservation, at a community table between two big parties and appears quite "squished". We absolutely left and spent our money elsewhere. Nice date night for two with reservations at a shared table between two big parties? No thanks. Quite upsetting and not the start to our evening we planned. As we DID plan. From out of town, paid babysitter, WITH reservations. read more

Enjoyed this place! They have great drinks and atmosphere. Servers were nice and friendly.

I have been for lunch and for dinner (it was the same menu both times) and I look forward to trying the Sunday brunch. I had good experiences both times: The cocktails were great and the food was good. Right now it has a pretty small menu and most things are considered "small plates" although I don't think it actually says that on the menu. That was the main thing that seemed a bit confusing off the bat. If most dishes are meant to be shared, the menu needs to be more extensive and shareable. I hope that is what happens as they are open for a while. Glad to have this spot in the neighborhood and will be back soon! read more

West Side Tavern - Gastropubs Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Very good food and everyone was very friendly! Loved it! Can't wait to go back!!!! Prices not too bad either.

tl;dr: Cauliflower of the century. Though a bit crowded on a Saturday night, West Side is a true gem. The cocktails were as fantastic as the hipster word choices on the drink menu required (because, let's face it, you can't say 'libations' and talk about 'mollycoddling' us customers without being damn good in exchange ;-) ). Anyway, I enjoyed a gin masterpiece, while the partner went for some of the darker stuff, like their fantastic take on an old fashioned. As for food, the CAULIFLOWER app. Now THAT was good. I've never had it blackened that way before, and the heat + acid of the buffalo sauce was absolute perfection with the smoked Gouda dip. Serious perfection. This was like non-sweet crack candy. The brussels sprouts weren't half bad either, and the duck breast was likewise a lovely hit. As the Grand Consul of Cake, I was thrilled to learn of West Side's off-menu desserts as well. The s'mores pot de crème had a wondrous toasted marshmallow topper, while the creamy trifle was refreshing, rich, and nearly floral all at once. I could have probably eaten three of those. Meanwhile, the olive oil cake was moist, rich, and truly memorable (as in, as good as sea level cakes! People around here usually need to work on that..). The only change I'd suggest there is to go for less of the greek yogurt or whatever was all around it - having the acidity rather than something rich and sweet (like custard or even frosting) left me wanting. GIVE ME RICHNESS! But yeah - West Side is awesome. That freaking cauliflower. read more

Just wow. Hate to share this place. Cute, delicious, great drinks, great little area, and the Covid safety aspects were winning! Private cabanas with heaters and a fire?? Sshhhh. But please, can other restaurants do this??? We will be here every other week forever, I think ;) read more

I really enjoyed West Side Tavern. It was a fun and eclectic place with cool decorations and a warm atmosphere. The place was moderately busy when we went and they only had one server on staff, however Ryan kept things moving and made us feel welcome and attended to. The daughter and I had the Four Cheese Grilled Cheese with the Tomato Bisque. Writing it out here does not do it justice. The Sourdough bread was delicious and perfectly grilled to a crispy crust and the 4 cheeses were perfectly melded together. Sadly I don't remember which 4 cheeses, which means I will have to go back. Cocktails were reasonable on the pour and the liquor selection was good! Rumor has it they will soon have Pappy Van Winkle's Bourbon, which will bring me back alone!! Even without Pappys we will be back...great place for sure!! read more

Awesome little spot! Food was to die for . Service was top notch ! We will definitely be back !

Can't say enough nice things about this place. Made a reservation here on CU's graduation day. They made every effort to accommodate our large group of 12, including calling us several times to check in and confirm. The staff was courteous and professional, which is not the case at every restaurant on Pearl St. the food is excellent and the drinks are too. Thanks Westside Tavern!!! read more

Best steak frites in town! Cozy atmosphere and tasty apps. Tough parking. Watch the signs as a rude neighbor verbally abused my mom and I on our way out. Other than that this place is fantastic! read more
