The Westbury (Closed Permanently)

Great Place

When I walk into the westbury, I feel very welcome and warm. Emilo and Jason are my two favorite bartenders. You can sit at the bar and have great conversation and the juke box is great. Or you can sit in a booth and enjoy the food. It is the "Gay Cheers" of the gayborhood. I suggest you go in and I bet you'll be back.

Hipper, younger than what I remember

Its been around forever, but now it seems to be an "it" place again (how many times can u go to woodys?). Nice bartenders, good vibe - though it does get the occasional whacko/hustler/cracked-out tenant from the hotel above. Good draft beer, good jukebox. P.S. John is a great bartender, if a little less extroverted than the rest. You would get a little exasperated too if you had to deal with the crazies. But he's avery nice guy and one of the reasons I keep going back (as opposed to some of the truly nasty bartenders at XII A.C. and woodys)

Awesome atmosphere!

Sounds like the first rater here is just vindictive! This is a great, no-nonsense kind of bar... and I love having the lesbians around!! Good jobb all!

Nice laid-back neighborhood bar.

excellent food and friendly staff. Much better air quality since they started the smoking ban. Good place to take a date because you can have a conversation without having to yell over the music. I usually use it as a meeting place to start my nights out with a group of friends.

DULL! JUST A SHADOW OF IT'S FORMER SELF!

Hope you don't have "John" the part-time bar keep (full time school teacher) wait on you as he will make you feel like you need him more than he needs you...loves himself. The other barkeeps are friendly. Food is good here, very good. Used to be mostly men but now there are far too many women.
