Solid neighborhood bar
by e02m12f22
I have been going to the Westside Tavern on and off for many years. No matter how much time passes, the place remains the same. It serves my friends and I as a comfortable, reliable bar. No frills, no drama, and moderately priced drinks. I saw Dave Attell once while at the bar, and if anyone typifies the vibe this place has, its him. Just a bar to drink at without the drama that seems so hard to avoid in NYC. In Chelsea a place like this is hard to find.
- Pros: Easy Going, moderate drink prices, pool table

Love this place
by dandanmiller
I love this place. Met my fiance here almost 2 years ago and even though we don't live in the area anymore whenever we're in NY we make a stop. Atmosphere is always good and great place to kick back and enjoy a couple of beers. Keep on doing what you're doing.
- Pros: Great place to sit and have a beer with friends

Decent

It's hard to find a nice neighborhood bar on Citysearch; Westside Tavern is listed as one of the best. Its prices are definitely reasonable -- no need to pay $10 a drink. No line to the clean, brightly lit bathroom. Once in a while there's a waiter; I wish they'd ask for more refills. Then again, the bar service is fast and good-mannered. One nitpick I have is the lack of tables. I've not been to the downstairs lounge (heard a rumor), and the sofas are nice, but I wish a larger group can gather more comfortably. The music is a bit loud, too, but what bars aren't? The place is probably too small for tables. There's even a pool table. I was introduced to the place after joining a soccer team; it's a three-block walk from the turf field.
- Pros: Inexpensive service, Sofas, Clean bathrooms
- Cons: lack of tables, loud music
