    I was here for a business dinner with 7 people. The service was great; everything we ordered was delivered quickly and with no errors. They have an excellent selection of beers, liquor, cocktails, etc. Their menu is simple but well executed. They're known for their BBQ so I highly recommend the Burnt Ends appetizer, or the Brisket Sandwich. Enjoy!

    Erin, We appreciate the review and are glad you enjoyed the BBQ! All the best, The West End Tavern

    Of all the places I’ve had barbecue this stands out as number one. The shepherds pie is not to be missed.
