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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Super nice place, they have like 10 different areas were you can fun; lots of games to try, very good fun, 2 full bars, if you are in SF come here definitely, sone days they have a cover but is totally worth it.

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.

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.

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.

Peacekeeper is one of my favorite bars in the city for the past decade, and when I found out Bar…read moreDarling is part of the same family, I knew I was in the right place. After a park day at the Presidio, we wanted to move the party and we decided on Bar Darling. It was a Saturday afternoon and it was jam packed. Luckily we were able to get some space in the alley way for us to order drinks from our server. We've been on a Friday around 5pm on another day, it wasn't as busy, so definitely a great place to start and maybe end the night. In a time where craft cocktails have gotten really expensive, Bar Darling offers craft cocktails (their signature cocktails) all for $14 each. If you know Peacekeeper, you know there's a lot of thought and imagination that goes into their drinks and it definitely shows here. My favorites were the Mama J (tequila based) and the Jaji (mezcal based). The aesthetic and vibes of this place is 10/10. Definitely great for a group of friends and/or date night!

I'll note that the promotional photos online give a somewhat misleading impression of the ambiance. The actual interior is considerably more modest and utilitarian than advertised. We ended up seated outdoors beneath one of those industrial heat lamps, which was blasting uncomfortably hot air until our server kindly switched it off at our request. That said, the service was efficient and attentive. Our drinks arrived promptly despite the crowd, and the staff managed the busy room well. Nothing particularly memorable about the experience, but perfectly adequate for a casual evening out. A solid four out of five stars.

The service made up for it though, the staff came by often to check in and make sure we had drinks, which was really nice. Also loved that they let us bring our own food, which was fab for a birthday hangout. Final Thoughts This is a great spot for group celebrations since you can reserve tables and even bring in your own food. I'd come back again if someone suggested it, especially for another group outing.

The fried chicken that sat upon it was also plain. Service was the bright spot. Our server was warm, gracious, and patient with our large group. For a big dinner group where seating and service matter most, the restaurant has its advantages. But overall I wouldn't give it a recommendation.
