Initially left a bad review, but wanted to update it because there was a miscommunication between someone in our group and the bar. However Ann from Westwood was super nice and accommodating and helped us resolve the situation afterward. She even welcomed us back, which we really appreciated, especially after us feeling bad for what had happened. Westwood was a fun bar and the rest of our group had a great time. It just sucked that one situation left a sour taste in our mouth that night, but Ann definitely helped make things right. Overall, we'd come back again! Great staff and nice ambiance and atmosphere! Thank you Ann read more

The bouncers here are incredibly rude and condescending. At 1:50 AM, when the bar was closing, they started forcing people out in a very aggressive way, shining bright flashlights directly into people's eyes, yelling "Walk and talk!" repeatedly, and having large security guards push crowds toward the exit. With so many people trying to leave at once, it felt chaotic and unnecessary. What made it worse is that once you're outside, they don't even want you standing on the sidewalk in front of the bar. I was simply waiting for my ride, which is the safest way to get home, and they were still trying to move people along. The service was terrible from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. I've never felt so unwelcome at a venue. I'd recommend avoiding this place and spending your money somewhere that treats customers with basic respect. read more

I first came to Westwood bar for a yelp event but properly visited it for the first time with friends during their SF cereal pop up bar event. For the event we had to get tickets in advance and show them at the entrance upon which we would get a raffle ticket which we could then take to the very back of the bar where the entrance was and use to get a complementary drinks which came with our prepaid ticket fee. The back entrance leads to a two story separate bar area which was dimly lit and had tons of cereal themed posters and drink choices to choose from. All of the drinks were delicious and reminiscent of childhood cereal flavors but the two that I decided to get were the coco pebbles chocolate cocktail and the fruity pebbles spritzer. Out of the two I liked the coco pebbles drink more since it reminded me of bailies and was very tasty. My bf also decided to get the cinnamon crunch slushy drink and my goodness was this drink tasty. It was actually my favorite one of the night and was sweet and creamy and barely tasted like alcohol, definitely being less strong than the coco pebbles drink. Overall, it was a very fun vibe and the drinks were very unique and cute! I would definitely come back to check out another one of their themed pop up bars again. read more

Came to the Marina for a country-theme bar and they require a cash cover because my friend wanted to ride a mechanical bull. Unfortunately, the bull was out of commission. Place is really big though with two floors (upper floor has your typical 40s pop / throwback music and lower floor is more hip hop). The bar is your standard dive bar. read more

Honestly love the atmosphere of this place and the different genres of music playing on different floors. Definitely serves the community with a diverse selection of music that create vibes catered for everybody. Service was extremely attentive, helpful, and just a whole vibe. Love the bottle girls and the energy they bring out. Another addition that makes this club unique is the bull, so come here if you are looking for a good time!!! Love Westwood read more

Stopped by the Holly Jolly Pop-Up Bar at Westwood Annex last night with friends and had a great time! The holiday decorations are absolutely adorable everywhere you look there's twinkling lights, garlands, and festive touches that really get you in the Christmas spirit. The atmosphere is fun and lively, perfect for a night out with friends during the holidays. The effort they put into the theme shows, and it's a nice escape from the everyday bar scene. Drinks were solid and the vibe was exactly what we needed. If you're looking for a festive spot to hang out this season, this pop-up delivers on the holiday cheer! read more

Big screen T.V's! Big bar! Big bull to ride! BIG FLAVOR! I came here on 11/24/25 to an invite-only event for Barefoot Wines, but Westwood provided the food. The event, Wine & Wings, wouldn't have been much without the chicken wings to say the least. And, whoever is back there frying the chicken, THANK YOU! It was fried hard, but still juicy and flavorful. I enjoyed: lemon pepper (soo good), buffalo, sticky mango, and there was one other flavor...but I forgot. All of them were flavorful, but lemon pepper stole my heart. I also snatched a taste of their fried cheese sticks and fries. There's not much to say about it-it's fries! The bathroom was extremely clean-which is huge for me.And ALL the bartenders were super friendly. Parking- GEEEKKKK! I had to circle the block twice and ended up parking 2 blocks away. I guess that's the typical parking situation in the City so, yeah. Before leaving, I briefly chatted with the owners (a man and a woman) who was also very customer-focused and friendly. Even during the full wing-rush hour. Ha! Overall, I'd go back.....via public transportation. I'll add videos/pictures a little later. read more

First time coming to this place with friends. Overall, there was a good amount of people on a Friday night. There's a mechanical bull inside. I think this place needs to add more ventilation inside since we came in a little later in the night, right when we walked in it was super musty inside. Still cute inside, just plan to wear thinner clothing when trying to party. read more

This is a fun western theme bar complete with a mechanical bull, and line dancing. We came on a Friday and by 11 pm they had switched the music to more hip hop / pop music. Parking in this area is atrocious and the closest lot we found was closed by 11 pm so we had to find street parking. It is probably better to just uber or waymo here. There is a large downstairs area that also plays music as well. We had a large group and had gotten bottle service so we were upstairs in the main part. They gave us wristbands so we were able to have in n out privileges and were able to ride the bull for free! Otherwise the bull is $5 cash. There is a shuffleboard, large jenga, pool, and lots of other games for people to play. The crowd is alot younger here, mostly everyone was 21- 25. I didn't get the chance to try any of there food but it did look really good ! There is a taqueria across the street and tons of dirty dog vendors outside at night if your hungry. read more

Westwood was the perfect spot for our bachelor/bachelorette party! We had a group of 20+ and the staff handled everything so well--super accommodating and friendly. The drinks were delicious, the food was great, and the Friday night line dancing was such a blast. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back! read more

Pretty much country vibes with country music and bull riding. I ordered cocktails twice and the first order came out perfectly while second one was missing garnish. Security staffs can be rude to you so be mindful about it. read more

Booked for a holiday party. Area is nice and inside was very festive. Food options weren't great but overall vibe and space was awesome. Staff was nice and tried to be fast to refill food. read more

I don't go out too often, and the Marina area isn't my first choice, but I visited for the Sabrina Carpenter themed pop-up thought the drinks were so creative, and tasted great. Although the decor was cute, some items seemed like cheap pieces from amazon. I was also surprised by their food menu, tons of great bar food options for a decent price. My friend informed me that when the space isn't decorated for the pop-up events that they usually play rnb + hip-hop. read more

This was my second time at Westwood and both times, the service has been consistently great. The staff genuinely cares about customer experience, which I appreciate. I love the décor, the fun signage, line dancing, pool tables, and games; it's a lively spot! That said, the crowd leans younger (mostly 20s), so while I'm in my 40s and felt a little out of place, it was still a fun atmosphere. I returned for Sabrina Carpenter's Pink Pop-Up Bar in the basement of Westwood, but overall, it fell short of expectations. The music was low-energy, which made the vibe feel slow. Our $20 ticket included a drink, which was fine but nothing special. The biggest issue was the lack of tables--despite making a reservation for five, we stood around in heels for 30 minutes before finally finding a spot. To make matters worse, we had a 7:30 PM reservation but weren't let in until 8 PM, standing outside in the cold for half an hour. While the decor had some cute photo ops, I expected more from a pop-up experience. It would have been nice if reservations guaranteed seating or if they had a photographer for guests since the pop-up was meant for photo moments. Overall, I love Westwood's main bar, but I wouldn't recommend the Pink Pop-Up Bar unless they improve the experience--better music, guaranteed seating with reservations, and a smoother entry process. read more

What a fun lil spot in SF. We came here for a work happy hour welcome event and it was really cool to come in and be with a group that hasn't seen each other in quite some time. They had a mechanical bull that some of us got to ride during the event and it was such an experience. Definitely the star of the show! The food was served buffet style in the back near this area and was enough to feed the lot of us. It was substantial and pretty tasty. Music was a bit too loud. At first it was confined to the back area so some of me and my colleagues moved to the front around the booths to catch up and chat but they turned on the speaker there and it became way too loud across the whole bar. This was probably my only gripe with the place but other than that, it was such a cool spot for a big and energetic group. read more

I attended Westwood for a work party recently, and overall I'll say this is a really fun, western themed bar. If you're looking for a casual spot to hang out with friends, complete with friendly bartenders, decent food, and quirky ambiance, this is a great spot for you. The highlight was the mechanical bull in the back, and while I wasn't drinking at this party, my friends seemed to really enjoy the craft cocktails, and I liked that they had a good amount of NA options available at the bar. My only critique (and it could just be that I'm getting old!) was that the volume of this bar is LOUD. I had a hard time speaking to folks, and it gave me the impression that usually this place is probably catering more to a young party-going crowd that's more about late night dancing, rather than sip on your cocktail and chat. And that's OK, you might just keep that in mind if you're deciding where to go on your night out on the town. read more

Come here for Taco Tuesday!! They have an amazing deal for $2 margaritas and ~$5 tacos. I was shocked by how strong and tasty the margarita was - they have a bunch of flavors but my favorite were the blood orange and strawberry. The tacos are also surprisingly delicious and quite generously portioned. Service was great. read more

Visited Westwood for a company offsite and booked the entire main bar. For those that don't know, Westwood has a main bar as well as a hidden, speakeasy style room downstairs in the back for special/private events. Private event consisted of drinks and buffet style food. Couple bartenders working the event. Drinks were tasty and strong. At its peak, though, wait times for a drink could be 20+ min. I believe there were only 2 bartenders working for an event of about 100-ish people. Staff was friendly though and definitely kept the grind going. Food consisted primarily or heavy, bar style food. Pulled chicken, steak and guac, shrimp cocktail, truffle fries, taco bowl, sloppy joe sliders, brussel sprouts. We were also able to add cajun coconut curry, delivered from Wilder, and remove the bacon from the brussel sprout for two vegan options. When it comes to dietary restrictions, menu is not tailored for vegans so just something to note if booking for a group. Food was decent and was replenished throughout the event. Mechanical bull and pool were made available. Both were a huge hit, especially the bull. Definitely a very unique and fun addition to an offsite. Westwood has a large space and can quite comfortably fit over 100+ people inside. read more

Horrible service food and drinks are bad. Bouncers or security are so rude. Save your money go somewhere else. Photo Booth doesn't work it took our money twice but didn't print any pictures. Told manegment they didn't know what to do and we just lost our money. Litterly go anywhere else. read more

What a fun setup! We attended a work offsite event during our conference in San Francisco at Westwood, and it was a great kickoff to the week. The space itself is well-decorated, with multiple photo op spots: neon lights, photo booth, fun signage, etc. They had a nice good-looking lineup of cocktails, but I stuck to beer and wine offered during our event. The food was good and filling but nothing extraordinary - I would have loved to see things in heated trays to keep things warm and ready to serve! The star of the show was the mechanical bull in the back - it seemed a little slow and most folks didn't really get thrown off, but it was a funny icebreaker for our work group! Staff was attentive during the event, and I appreciated the different areas to sit and eat/chat throughout the space. read more

This is my first pop up bar to ever attend! It was for the Crushed Heartbreaker Bar. Included with the ticket is a complimentary cocktail drink. Tickets can be purchased through sfbucklist. I saw it advertised through instagram. I'm so glad I got to experience it with my best friend, and celebrate a galentine's out in the city. Located in a speakeasy in Westwood SF, there were tons of Olivia Rodrigo heartbreaker themed decor and fun heartbreakeresque cocktails and drinks. We were super hungry so we were glad they had a dinner menu. My order: * Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich 5/5 - the best chicken sandwich I've had!! The chicken so flavorful, juicy and tender. * Truffle Parmesan French Fries 5/5 - also the best truffle fries I've had. Wasn't super oily and didn't have the strong aroma of truffle like other truffle fries I've had elsewhere. The fries weren't soggy or too crunchy either. * Espresso Martini 5/5 - I do not drink coffee, however I needed a bit of caffeine in me, it really hit the spot! * Espresso Martini shots 5/5 - tasted exactly the same as the espresso martini Service was fast once we ordered, maybe like 10 min for our food to arrive. The napkin getting torched on my drink was such a fun thing to see! Really follows through with the theme. We didn't get to get a chance to look at the post it wall or the area with the many tissue boxes. We also didn't participate in tarot card reading, however everything else we did was fun! read more

I recently checked out Sabrina Carpenter's all-pink pop-up bar in Westwood, and it was a vibe! The event is downstairs, so you have to walk down a flight of stairs to get there. Once you're in, it's a total transformation from the western-themed bar upstairs--super cute and Instagram-worthy. That said, while the idea was fun, I felt like the execution could've been better. You have to buy tickets and reserve a spot ahead of time, which is fine, but the space is pretty small with only a few tables. It seemed like the time slots overlapped because a bunch of people from the earlier group were still hanging out when we got there. We ended up standing around for like 30 minutes waiting for a table. Once we were seated, though, it was a good time! The drinks were solid, and we grabbed some apps for the table--calamari and fries--which hit the spot. The bartenders were super nice too, which made the whole thing feel more fun. read more

This review is only for their Christmas pop-up "Naughty not Nice" bar located downstairs from the main bar. Tickets are required via sfbucketlist but include entry and 1 complimentary drink. Honestly, we walked past this bar because at first glance, there was no Christmas decor, and they were hosting a trivia night. Luckily, an Asian dude saw me and the bf looking confused and directed us to the holiday bar. TBH, Westwood's main bar is probably not somewhere we would go on a regular (me being Filipina and my bf being Black), as we walked in, I can feel that blue lives matter vibe (IYKYK). BUT as soon as we crossed the main bar and walked downstairs, THAT'S where the diversity was hiding! It was like you teleported to an entirely different place, entering and exiting. The decor was hilarious and entertaining to look at. There were so many TVs and they're all playing the same Christmas movie which gave another stimulation. The menu is extensive with cocktails, mocktails, and hella food. One thing about holiday bars is how creative the names get. Being this was a naughty holiday bar, the names cracked me up (see menu photos)! Everyone on the staff (bartenders and barbacks) were all friendly and attentive. Unlike other holiday bars in SF, this place was not overly crowded, and there were plenty of places to sit (granted, we did come on a Tuesday night, the week before Christmas). Drinks are served in cute holiday cups and are cheaper than other holiday bars! That was the kicker for me. Love love this place! Shout out to the Asian dude who guided us in the right direction because otherwise, we'd probably never find it. read more

Fun bar- you'll find mostly 20s and some early 30s crowd here on the weekend nights. Buy a bit of a wider group during the day, especially when sports are being shown. Westwood will play the PPV mma and boxing matches and not even charge a cover until the final fight, with specials dependent on outcomes of matches. Pretty fun. Drinks are priced as you'd expect for a popular large bar in a popular area to go out. But specials and pitcher deals, especially during the day, and pretty good. The food is surprisingly solid. The burger is massive and the fries are really good. Also I really enjoyed the wings read more

Came here for the Naughty or Nice holiday pop up and was blown away!!! I absolutely loved it! The drinks were so festive and creative! And the decor was SO cute (and a little naughty) hahaha. Every drink comes in a unique and festive cup. My fav was the John McClain that came in a Santa Boot! It's so fun but I had been here before for their wing wednesday and had NO idea this speakeasy portion existed. It is a must see! read more

Very cool atmosphere. Good tacos. Service was quick, friendly, and accommodating. Love that they take reservations. Their line dancing class is cool, they have free pool, a mechanical bull ($10 I think), free giant Jenga, and a club in the back that starts at 10 pm on Saturday (maybe other days too). read more

We visited for the Halloween pop up they hosted a few weeks ago and I have mixed feelings. The person at the front checking us in seemed like she wasn't associated with the event or venue at all, but I'm sure she was? She just wasn't super helpful or welcoming especially since my fiancé was confused about the way the event worked. (It was a surprise to me so I also had no idea) A bartender overheard our conversation and cleared things up for us right away and got our drinks started. We tried 4 different drinks during our visit and they were tasty, but they were all super sweet. Nothing I'd want to order on a regular day out. I loved the decor they had around the bar and they were playing IT on the big screens which was fun. It was a great place to people watch from upstairs, where the floor was also so incredibly sticky. That didn't seem to be the case downstairs and it was a bit of a turn off. We ordered corn dogs to share and, as one of my favorite appetizers, I was disappointed that the breading was soft and not crispy. The vibes were definitely good, considering a bar crawl was getting started. Maybe we were there early enough and it got louder and rowdier later, but if it did we fortunately missed it. read more

This's for the pop up "crushed heartbreak bar" at the basement of the restaurant. We bought tickets online for $23+ each, comes with one drinks. We almost missed the place as there's no sign of the bar event outside. Luckily the staff saw us and brought us in. The decor was funny with Taylor swift songs and some lame stuffs, not impressive at all, but the drinks were great and the bar tender was friendly. We also ordered the taco chip with meat and cheese, the chips were stale. It's a Saturday night but it's so empty, we finished our drinks and left within 30 minutes. read more

We recently visited for a work happy hour event, and had so much fun. The vibes were immaculate. From the fun lights and photo opportunities, to the mechanical bull - we had a blast. The food was displayed as a buffet of light bites and kept coming. The drinks were great as well, they had a fun line up of drinks with bar, wine, and various drinks available. I appreciated that there was a water sprout at the end of the bar for us to grab water whenever needed. All in all we had a great time, and it was great to kick off our week in San Francisco. read more

A great spot if you're looking to hang out while enjoying bites and brews! My colleagues and I chose this venue for our kick-off event during our team conference, and Westwood's vibes were perfect for what we were looking for. Firstly, I must mention that we were a large group--loud, excited to see each other, and full of energy. Thankfully, Westwood was more than capable of accommodating us all! The venue was spacious, comfortably fitting everyone, and the music added to the ambiance. Plus, there was plenty of food for everyone. The mechanical bull was the star of the show! What I enjoyed most about my experience here was its laid-back atmosphere. I can easily picture myself returning with a few friends to catch up and relax in one of their booths. Such a great vibe! read more

Decided to stop by here for their Frankenstein's Mad Scientist Cocktail Lab pop up and was thoroughly impressed! The bar had a nice spooky atmosphere with the Frankenstein props and the scientist bartenders. We got a lychee and Ube drink which came out in a really nice Halloween themed presentation. The lychee drink tasted just like your average lychee martini but the Ube drink was really delicious and probably one of my favorite Ube cocktails ever! Definitely recommend going at night though, as it was pretty bright inside when we went during the day. read more

I'm not a huge bar person, but came to Westwood for a happy hour. Upon arriving, I walked in and the bar reminded me of a bar that I would have visited when I was in college. They had different pockets of seating like bench seating, tables, and a section of games like large Jenga. The bar was large and long, so plenty of seats and standing room. They did have a mechanical bull, so if that's your jam, it's available. The interior looks older. It was pretty loud in there, and had an awful time hearing other people that were next to me. They made a killer club soda. read more

The 1 star is for the staff and their attitudes. I have yet to meet one nice individual that works here. The star is also because this is one of the only bars that I've been to in the city with a cover that simply isn't worth it. I have no doubt that they make plenty of money off drinks alone in a night where the cover simply is not necessary. Not to mention the mechanical bull that gets no breaks from the young girls trying to get their 1 minute of fame, that you also have to pay for. Don't get me wrong this is a fun place to go at night when you want to drink too much but yet you always wake up questioning if the $10 cover fee was truly worth it. They do have food here and 50¢ wings on Wednesdays which I have heard good things about but have yet to try myself. read more

Super fun bar! We had a corporate get together here, and it was a fun time! For a SF bar, it was huge! So many places to sit, mix, mingle, and plenty of bar space to order drinks.
