    Yule fuel

    We came here for the holiday bar. It was decorated nicely but was pretty empty. The drinks were pretty good. But for how empty it was, it took forever for he to get our drinks and seemed like a lot of miscommunication behind the bar. Whoever was dj'ing though was amazing!

    Classic Caesar Salad

    I love everything about WML except for the food. They have got to improve the food experience especially on days when there are big events. Each time I have ordered food I have been disappointed. It's usually cold and not well seasoned at all. This salad for example was drenched way too much in dressing and the chicken bites were cold and hard to chew. Love the frozen margaritas and the vibes here. The service at the bar is fine - nothing spectacular. Super casual space with no dress code. Check it out!

    Met a friend here for a trivia night and had a good time. I've been trying to get out here for an event for some time now, but it just hasn't happened. I will definitely be back though. I arrived a bit late, but was still able to get in and sit down. There was plenty of space, but not enough tables for the amount of people that were present. That is a good problem to have though. They are cashless and the drinks are served in plastic cups. I got a pink Cadillac margarita and enjoyed it. They gave me the option to have tajin around the rim and of course I said yes to that. There is so much space outside for events and activities. I can't wait to come back to experience one of their outdoor events. I liked the decor and setup. It will be nice to come just to eat and have some drinks.

    First time here, and honestly not what I expected. I stopped by for the Pop Up Christmas Bar hoping for a few Christmas "Spirits" and photo ops. This is an indoor/outdoor venue, the outdoor area is very spacious. However, I was immediately turned off seeing children running around, not my idea of a chill night out but I digress. Upon entering the grounds it's not really clear where to go, we just wondered around and finally found the indoor bar area. There was quite a bit of Christmas lights on around the grounds and decor inside the bar area but nothing spectacular. The Christmas drink menu was not very appealing to me, a lot of the drinks were made with coconut or cranberry. It seems they have quite a few specialty events and guest DJs so maybe I'll try them again for something like that.

    Great community space for all types of events. My first visit here was for the Atlanta Vegan Social weekly event & had a wonderful time. Westside Motor Lounge offers indoor-outdoor food, full service restaurant & bar amongst a vibing backdrop. The outdoor courtyard has a wired stage, a beer garden, shuffleboard courts, fire-pits & areas for Food Trucks.

    Late review. I had a ball at their annual holiday bar pop up. Will def check out other events. Great bar, atmosphere and the bartenders are awesome!!!!! Great place to just hang out. I will update my review when I try the food next time I visit.

    So I was here for an event and an event went off really well. There's plenty of space for everybody to move outside, and there's even some seating. It's not a kind of spot where you can bring your own lawn chair necessarily, but they do have patio furniture sprawled throughout. So for parking they do have parking areas. And they have a parking lot as well as a structure. But honestly I would suggest you doing a ride share. Get a lift or an Uber The event that I went to had multiple bars there so there's always a place to get a drink. And to catch some shade! I won't fault the establishment for this but the bars didn't very slow but in all fairness there was a lot of people there that they probably couldn't handle the capacity. So you may be standing in line for a good 15 to 20 minutes just for one drink. It's not like anybody was in a rush but that is something that's definitely noticeable. It was set up very well and it was very clean. They made sure to make it presentable for us. They have several bars and they had a place to order food. The food they had there on the inside was mostly fried foods like bar foods. You may get some chicken wings or a fish sandwich or something along those lines. So don't expect anything fancy but if you've been sitting in the sun and drinking you'll need something on your stomach. The sun was the worst part about it, there was not really much shade. Which if you're trying to be outside and you want that kind of feeling, it's not a big deal. But in the Atlanta area where the heat can get to 95°, it was pretty aggressive and they didn't have that many places that had umbrellas or anything similar for that. That wasn't a deal breaker, but it was just the fact that they didn't have as much shaded areas to go to and there was a high number of people that really didn't do well. But to compensate, they did have free water drums there that you can fill cups with so they did take us into consideration with that so I thought that was really good. A lot of places may charge for water but they knew it was going to be hot so they gave free water. They have food and drink of course, and they also have hookah that they were selling there as well. So you could really just sit there and vibe all day. I thought it was really good, and they had people who had cigars there so they are smoke friendly shop if you're interested in that. Overall I'm going to try to go to more events here, I really enjoyed the environment. Maybe not it 97° outside lol but I thought it was still very well put together. It was peaceful, security didn't have any issues, nobody was fighting, had a great time.

    Happy holidays. They have a special drink menu
    Seema Z.

    They have a pretty cute holiday pop up. A bar. That's tastefully decorated and outside is chic as usual with tables, and shuffleboard. As you can see the prices are steep. Atleast on the holiday menu. I was disappointed to see automatic gratuity added to drink orders from bar. Not sure if it's a new trend but if your prices are steep the owners can afford to pay their bar tenders a living wage and not 'enforce' gratuity. (20%) I will not be visiting again Their social media advertised silent disco which no one at the spot knew about. I had also called to confirm. Very disappointing

    Dog friendly

    Love love love this spot!! This is such a hidden gem in Westside. The large outdoor event space is perfect for the weekend. They have lots of different fun areas to hang out with friends. The cocktails are awesome and they have great food!! I was shocked a fun spot like this could have such great food. They have an amazing chef we got to meet who created amazingly crafted dishes. Our favorites were the Green Goddess Salad(amazing dressing!!) and the Sticky Garlic Wings!! You need to try this spot Also- dog friendly!!

    Drinks with the puppy, very dog friendly!!
    Ivana S.

    The people that work here are so nice! If i ask for a cocktail not on the menu, they will make it for me. This place is for friends and cocktails for sure! We always bring our dog because he loves the outdoor area with seating and games! Its always a vibe. I do wish they had more live music on the weekends. That would be my only suggestion. The food is good- not coming for the food though its just a small menu and not many shareable items.

    Cinco de mayo fun here at westside lounge, they had an event here, and it was a ton of fun. It was my first time in the venue, I didn't know how huge it was because I only saw it from the side of the road. Very spacious, has both indoor and outdoor sections to it. There was plenty of space for different events and occasions, and I was very shocked to see the entire space. The service was really good considering the number of people that were there, definitely long lines to get food but that was to be expected. Bartenders were friendly and responsive again for a busy day like Cinco de mayo it was extremely busy. I was a little disappointed in the food, not because of taste though, it was the lack of variety there were only two different vendors for food and they were obviously both selling tacos. With that being said the food was good, I just would have loved to see more food trucks/vendors.

    Late night menu
    Bianca C.

    I've been here on a Friday night and a Saturday night. Neither times we're too busy but Saturday was little busier. This is a laid back spot to grab a few drinks and late night drinks bonus, they have a few tvs so you might be able to catch a game. They don't have an extensive drink menu but maybe that'll change over time. I have yet to dine on the dinner menu but I've had the fries in the late night snack menu. They're seasoned well and a good amount for the price. I've had a few if the cocktails with the electric echo being my favorite (mezcal drink) and a close second being the exile in English (gin drink with refreshing flavors). As they're still kind of newish, they've been out of a few things each time I've gone, from drinks on tap to the snack foods. The bartenders are friendly and make good drinks. I think this will be an awesome place to go to in the summer with the lawn activities, beer garden, and stage they have outside. Also some nice decor and random stuff for IG pics.

    Sticky Chicken Wings & Fries
    Nakema G.

    I recently went to Westside Motor Lounge to a yoga class at Bankhead Coffee. After class I went next door to grab food. I ordered the BBQ Mushroom sandwich with fries and my friend ordered the sticky chicken wings that had lemongrass pepper and garlic with a side of fries. The food was so good! I love oyster mushrooms and these were seasoned so well. I would definitely get food there again.

    What a cool place. Discovered it incidentally while in downtown Atlanta. Upscale with a dress code…read morethankfully. The entrance code can be obtained from their website or local hotel concierges. Dial the number on the antique phone and the door magically opens. The staff super friendly and helpful. The bartenders are the best, clearly passionate about their work. I highly encourage you to try one or several of their signature cocktails. I sampled the Left Bank Martini and Vesper. As expected they are fully stocked with Pappy Bourbon, hard to find Amaro Noni. Ask a bartender about the ice block. The place is spacious unlike other speakeasys I've been to. Lots of niche areas with couch reservations, pool table available. No time for a cigar but that is on my list when I return. Food available from their upstairs sister restaurant.

    I stopped in for a quick drink before heading to my next destination, and my experience was not…read moreonly disappointing--it was unacceptable. I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

Rather than just finding out, he went ahead and made it and brought it out with the group's drinks. When I saw how good it looked, I decided to order one too. The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz. I liked that the bar had a fun yet casual ambiance and there were plenty of people around. We did ask what time last call was and were told midnight so we didn't hurry to order a second drink. Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!
