BJ's Cocktail Lounge West

Friendly.

Good place for to go food - maybe not a good place to put your money in a machine.

Ordered margarita pizza - yummy ... a little bothersome that there were people doing a fitness boot camp in the parking lot, while I carried my pizza and wings out.

Why I haven't been here before?

Came here with a drunk friend, yes, I had to babysit. It was a Sunday night and three of my roomies were fiending for alcohol. Sad. Came here, it wasn't very busy but busy enough to keep the server and the bartender going. Yeah, there were only two of them.

Ordered one beer, a Stella. Tastes like any other Stella out there. Service was good. Ayumi? Aime? Aira? Whatever the server's name was, she was great. I felt sorry for her cause my roomie kinda gave her a hard time.

Other than that, the decor is nice. Very nice. It's like a lodge/tavern with "bar scene" paintings. It was kinda smoky cause there was a guy next to us heavily smoking a cigar.

Would come back here to try out the happy hour which is from 11 pm to 3 am. Oh yeah, if you're a chick you get 25% off during non-happy hours.

The staff here is amazing! I heard great reviews and I always wondered what was inside so a friend and I came here to check it out. We happened to come in during their happy hour which started at 11pm.  The service is awesome, the atmosphere is perfect to have a conversation between friends, and the decor is pretty classy. If you are a red wine fine, I tried their pinot noir and I instantly loved it.
