West End Smokehouse & Tavern

Great staff and cold beer selection.
Creative seating available from couches to nooks with retro swivel chairs. If you are looking for a place to hang with friends, this is a great choice because you can interact with the patrons or stay secluded with your posse.
For all you out of towners like me, put this on your list!

Popped in from out of town to watch some football with friends. The place was not busy and yet we sat for a full fifteen minutes at a table and no one so much as looked at us. I finally went to the bar and bought three drinks and brought them to the table myself.

Fifteen minutes later, a waitress came to the table and asked if we wanted anything. We ordered another round and some food. Fifteen minutes later, we still had not received drinks. I went to the bar again and brought another round to the table. Ten minutes later, (I was clocking everything out of frustration by now) she popped by with only one of the drinks and asked if it was ours!

When the food finally came, she apologized for how long it had taken and told us the food had been comped by way of apology. She asked me if I had a tab at the bar and I told her I did. She then warned me to not forget that I now had two tabs, (even though she never brought me a drink and my food was supposedly comped.)

An hour later she brought me a bill for the food. The two stars are for the awesome bartender and the decent food. Nevertheless, I won't be bothering them again.

Most of the appetizers are quite delicious. The drinks here are pretty good. The service can vary though. They have such a high turnover rate waitresses tend to be new. Also can be pretty smokey. Good place to hang out with a group of friends and get tipsy
