West Town Bar & Grill in Hamilton

Reliable and to be expected.

Music was very loud and, as a result, people were talking over the music. We were having breakfast with family and it was almost impossible to hear one another between the music and loud conversations.

mid

Best breakfast in town

This place should be investigated for ripping people off on draft beers. Their shows prices for 16oz pints. Well, the glasses they are using arent even close to 16oz. I have the same Coors glass at home that they served my beer in, and it is clearly a 12 oz glass. Absolute nonsense that they try to rip people off this way. There are so many good bars in this city that dont cheap out on beer, go there instead.

Yummy breakfast, excellent service

Had a get together for my friends 19th bday and had so much fun with such a great staff! I definitely recommend for friends family or singles!

Probably one of the most pub pubs in hamilton. Prices gone up about 30% since COVID. Only thing that bothers me.

Most smallest driest wings for 18$ that came in a little fruitbowl. Do not order the wings !! TERRIBLE..I have been here before but this time was very disappointed.

Horrible food. Ive never not eaten a steak but combine a terrible cut of meat with zero seasoning.. tasted like great value ground beef.... the scrambled eggs is a thin egg fried and cut into little pieces, so rubbery and disgusting.. idk what I expected, but it is on yall menu. I would never in my life order food here again, EVER!

What a gem! Good food, atmosphere and music

First time customer. Met there with a friend. Lovely neighborhood. Its awesome to go to a bar for breakfast. Especially when the breakfast is awesome. Staff are incredibly friendly and the service was excellent. If Im in the neighborhood again I will definitely drop by. Food

Im leaving 2 stars instead of 1 because our server was great and the atmosphere isnt bad, but the food was absolutely terrible. I ordered a pesto pasta with vegetables and chicken. It was almost like a bland soup and the vegetables looked like they came from a can. Honestly probably the worst meal Ive ever had at a restaurant.

Absolute WORST food in Hamilton BUT a good vibe and space if you want to grab a drink and some French fries. Would not go for a meal.

Great neighbourhood place. Good food, good service, reasonable prices.

More than your typical bar. Stopped in for an early breakfast after being disappointed with another local spot down the street. The waitress was very welcoming aND patient as we looked over the menuans made suggestions when asked. The coffee is delicious, as was the food. Love this place!

Its a diner. Not fine food. But you get a lot and the cost is good. Staff are friendly.

Very nice spot on Locke St. I am glad to went in a good weather, variety of drinks and beers. The food is not bad either. Good place to meet with old friends or new mates.

Good restaurant overall.

Always patient if we are there late. Get food well before last call, plenty of parking

Typical restaurant...pleasant welcome. Very friendly atmosphere with period photos: complete menu.

I found the waitress to be a little forgetful when we placed our order.

Decent environment

The food is fair/good. Absolutely nothing to write home about but definitely fresh and tasty enough! If you don t mind a basic menu, this place is amazing. The service is EXCELLENT: so prompt and friendly, and one of the best patios in Hamilton :)

Lunch on the patio. Lots of shade on a hot day. Waitress was top notch. Friendly and efficient. Food was hot and vegetables were fresh (not ftozen). Will definitely go back again. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair Accessible to the patio. Difficult going in front door for my friend who uses a walker.

Everything was pretty good. I felt the service could have been a little friendlier but it wasnt bad. The food came quickly and tasted good. For quick pub fare, this may be the place on Locke to go.

Literally incapable of melting cheese on nachos sorta a total failure of the pub grub business model our server was nice

Great place, amazing food and great atmosphere!

Katie gave us great service, amazing place for drinks and food! Been coming here for years and one of the best spots in Hamilton!

Excellent cooked dishes, very attentive staff and a beautiful American atmosphere

Also ways good vibes and a great patio for sports and dogs. Would recommend

Food use to be so good here! I used to come here all the time with my grandma and Joe always treated us right. Husbands burger literally tasted like beef with no seasoning and had huge chunks of the end of the onion on it. Also didnt come with cheese. Fries looked like they were cooked in dirty grease. Were not fresh at all. Kids pasta comes with nothing but sauce...and was basically dry. Service was horrible. Waitress was MIA basically the whole time as she was serving tables outside also. She didnt bother to ask how food was. Didnt come around to ask if we needed anything. Husband wanted a refill on his drink, but nobody was around. Asked for a lemon water and got no lemon. Will not be back.

Unfortunately, the service we were given was not the best. Our server seemed a little unorganized with her timing and we had been sat for a while before being waited on. I ordered a beer as well and it tasted dull and flat, but the manager of the spot put up a fight with me mentioning nothings wrong with it or the Nitrous whatever is fine the kegs are good and fresh rather than just simply pouring me another drink lol kinda weird kinda rude! My food was good I enjoyed my wings and burger but a friend of mine got the turkey burger and it was very dry and bland. Hope this review helps yall on your next visit.

Amazing! Friendly staff, great food, fun atmosphere, and prices are very good for breakfast. Joes sandwich is a go to.

Went for drinks on the patio with the girl friends, beautiful sunny day for it and our server was amazing

We went after a meeting at the church up the street. They were the only ones open and let me tell ya I m glad we stepped in. They food here was so good and you had a great selection and great price range.

Great dog friendly patio! Breakfast is very good! Vegetarian options: Try the Popeye omelets! Food : 4/5 |

food was really mid, fries undercooked and they dont know how to cook a burger anyway but well done. disappointed. drinks got out by the time our food got here. fish was dry and tough to eat, waitress didnt bother to refill our drinks or check on how the food was, they werent even busy.

First time here and the last. The lady server had the worst attitude when we asked for our bill.wont be back.

I very much enjoyed my first visit on Canada Day. My Cobb salad was very fresh and plentiful. The gentlemen serving offered the dressing on the side before I could even ask! The beer was very cold and refreshing also. Everything I heard about this location was true. It did not disappoint.

Unbelievable breakfast. The pancakes were amazing! Very crispy! Potatoes were fantastic also. I highly recommend it!

Great food and wait staff.

Love the outdoor patio.

My experience in this restaurant is very good. the waiter Savanah should get a raise because she is the G.O.A.T and she will own da restaurant A+ experience

This service is usually pretty good but today i received probably the worst service I have ever had in my entire life. I waited over an hour and a half for a buffalo chicken wrap, did not receive a single refill on my water and was forced the bill before I had even gotten my food. When she handed me my bill and I asked how much longer my food would be (approx. an hour after ordering) I was told very rudely that the food would come out when it comes out . I have worked in the service industry for roughly ten years, and I understand what it s like to be overworked, overstressed, and understaffed, but Katie T, you might want to rethink your career choices.

Sat outside around 9pm. Kind of windy, but that s fine as it was so nice out. I ordered some chicken tenders, but what I got were breaded chicken breasts! They were huge! Delish too! Friendly staff and you could tell everyone else there felt right at home.

The food was hot. Service was decent, seeing as it was on a Sunday right at lunchtime. Went with my family and had sausage, pancakes, eggs, bacon, coffee, and rye toast. Delicious! We will be back. Vegetarian options: No vegan options or vegetarian here.

Food was nauseatingly unoriginal. Service was okay. Atmosphere was a bit dead. Nobody seems to come here anymore, I see why that is .

No vegan options

A great place at any time of day!

Great Breakfast spot on Locke Street

Large patio. Very nicely made Ceasar

Very nice place for a Saturday breakfast, good food and service

The owner is very rude and he needs to be paid to give a smile. Not a great place to get a drink. Food is edible but not something to look forward to.

Got dragged here by a friend, as always disappointing. I just got drinks and watched as my friend picked at her meal complaining the whole time. The only thing this restaurant has going for them is location. Super expensive, servers don t give a hoot. Big fake smiles only when presenting the bill, felt insulting.

They could support local and craft breweries better. Also they were out of the listed stout and the replacement the server said they had. Otherwise the service was very good.

Sat on the patio at lunch today. Food hit the spot. Nice to have live music to listen to as well.

Bacon burnt to a black crisp. Told waitress. She apologized but I told her it was not her fault because she didn t cook it. No compensation offered to patron. Will not return.

Great food and service. The food came quickly even with having a larger group and our server was excellent.

I went in for breakfast with a friend right at 8am. Service was friendly and food came out quickly. I had the eggs florentine, and it was delicious! Home fries were on point and eggs were poached perfectly. I will definitely be back!

Food

Excellent service good food .good prices! Happy Days!

Located on the West part of town; this bar and grill was named after the large sign above the door. The servers are fantastic, the place is clean and the food is delicious.

Used to be a place to go and get a good meal. Not anymore.

Place was very dirty and a floor spill was not ever cleaned up and it wasnt busy. Asked for golf on TV and never did get it. Wont rush back. Whats wrong with these places. What happened to customer service! Seemed like waitresses didnt care

Staff and beer are on point. Always a time at the West Town! Kid-friendliness: My kids Adore the West Town Food : 5/5 |

It took quite a long time for the servers to notice us, come to our table to bring us the menu and take our orders; the basket of fries was terrible, the drink was ok. There was also music playing in the background but the volume was sooo low and we couldnt really enjoy it ! We even asked the server to turn it up and she said that she couldnt! Not the best place to hang out for young people...

Food was amazing as well as the service. Especially loved the homemade chili. It was pretty loud with the music and full restaurant.

It s a bar with an earthy, gritty charm servers were punctilious. Its run-down dive-bar feel is evaporated instantly when you order a pint and see the glass that has been shrunken so as to increase profits. I used to go here years ago .maybe some corporation has purchased it if not, the owner is eying retirement. Don t go here to watch sports you will be told (with snark) that the volume is only put on for playoff games. It s a bar that used to feel like an island of resistance against gentrification but it s now just an ATM for the proprietor. Wings are awful.

Westtown is great to go out for drinks, it has the best patio on Locke street and a great atmosphere for watching sports. I didn t give it a higher rating because I think the menus needs to be updated a bit and the bathrooms need to be made a bit bigger/ cleaned more often.

Great breakfast. Great service

Friendly and personable staff. Ordered take out nachos. They were not very good. Dry, minimal cheese, raw toppings dumped on top. But good portion. Wont order them again. You guys can do better! Easy and quick pick up.

An Iconic Hamilton staple serving up the best breakfast in town, ice cold pints and some of the most beautifully unique dinner specials you will find around the city. The west towns unpretentious and warm atmosphere caters directly to its community while welcoming newcomers with open arms. There s always a game on the TV and one of the owners there to greet you with a smile. The owners son Grahm is a big softy and always goes out of his way to make you feel at home. Make sure to ask for Joe s famous hot sauce from his home garden.

The food is really mediocre. It has no flavor, like at all. Very simple dishes that you could honestly just make at home with whatever you have on hand. It just wasnt good or worth it for me.

Such a nice pub with a good menu. The prices are reasonable and the quality was solid. Well be back the next time were in town.

Turkey burger was amazing

Really friendly staff, and to their credit they refunded my for my item. I had ordered a buger with blue cheese. I dont think the cook knew what blue cheese was. And I noticed the colour was off. But I thought maybe it was just me. However taking a bite I realised right away the cheese had gone bad. (Wrong kind of mouldy) The staff offered me something else. But I did not want to be a bother so I declined. They refunded the burger. I think its important that cook and kitchen prep staff know what the ingredients are that they are putting into the food. They should be able to recognise if, for example, cheese has clearly gone bad. Ultimately I did notice first that something was a miss. But I put my faith in the kitchen staff to be able to recognise clearly mouldy cheese and not send it out. None the less the staff were super friendly and very nice.

Great setting and burgers

Great little place, absolutely great area of Hamilton. Love this area.

Our waitress Kate. Was terrific. Very cheerful and, professional.

We went for a couple drinks and nachos. Server was great. She was quick and cheerful. The small portion of nachos was pretty big. Affordable pricing. I found the nachos were completely dry as all the cheese was thrown in about one area to melt. Also the Jalapeño portion was very disappointing. A little stingy with the toppings.

Good food, friendly staff, fair prices.

Went here with my man and was super disappointed. I ordered the burger with potato leek soup. Burger supposed to come with lettuce onion and tom with mustard and relish. I asked for no tomato, thankfully, but Ill get to that. Thin piece of rotting lettuce and no relish. When asked the server I was informed it was the last price of lettuce in the restaurant and they were out of relish. Interesting as they serve BLT and Cesar salad. The patty tasted old and freezer burned and was raw Im some spots and over cooked in other. Now, my man ordered the turkey club and it came with a slice of rotten tomato, no mayo, and limp lettuce (prob the bottom to the last piece they used on my burger). Cold fries. And burnt bacon. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.

Great little local pub, food comes out quickly.

Bar is awesome. Drinks are well priced. Staff is wonderful.

Pancakes on the patio are wonderful. The club sandwich is pretty good too. Just went back for pancakes while the boy enjoyed the Greek omelette. Food : 4/5

Deep fried pickles (which I ve never had before!!) were SO good! Service was great. Recommend. 10/10!

Assume breakfast spot, great service and atmosphere

Solid place for breakfast. Good service, get the bacon and avoid the sausages.

Ordered the burger. The meat was an impressive patty but was tasteless and overcooked. Despite the amazing amount of toppings they were skimpy and the burger bun fell apart as I tried to eat it. Fries would have been good but the oil they were fried in tasted old. The atmosphere is cozy and the service was good. May try to order the burger again to see if it would be different. Parking can be an issue depending on day and time. They are open late which is great.

Great place to share time with the old team mayes

Popped in here while out with some friends for a late lunch. Our server was great, very friendly and casual. Food was good, nothing crazy, pretty normal bar food and fairly priced but everyone was happy with their meal.

Nice lunch on a Good Friday. They were sold out of fish and chips!!! But the perogies were delish!

Love this place. Can t beat the classic atmosphere with all the vintage neon. Food is great, patio is amazing and staff has always been great.

I had high hopes but the food was ehhhh. Things were greasy and didn t taste great, nothing special

Good was tasty, service was friendly - would definitely go back & recommend

How can you call yourself a bar and not serve pints?

Cook needs to put down the salt shaker. My friend and i each got broccoli soup, but way too much salt. Mussels were about 5.5/10 and coconut shrimp had no coconut. Used to be a great place to eat. Nothing fancy, but good food. Service was good, and West Town has a comfortable, pleasing environment, but that didn t make up for poor quality food.

Great place to have a affordable dining experience for sure ..

Very good cabage rolls , cevapi was delicious as was the fettuccine Alfredo. We will go again. Food

Great vibes here! Food is good, staff is attentive and friendly, it s clean and pretty organized.. Busy on fri and sat nights so seating is scarce.. Street parking only and never had an issue getting a spot..

Great mussels

Great place to watch Vegas bet the Jets

Great vibe and atmosphere, however, the food is not great. We got the quesadilla and perogies. So greasy. EDIT: ordered wings for takeout, the price was $2 more than the online menu and they are literally the tiniest wings I have EVER seen!!!!! So disappointed.

Probably the most poorly made whiskey sour I have ever had. The food was actually quite good so A good place to go for a beer and some wings but I wouldnt venture too far past that Food

Great service and great family atmosphere Waitresses are awesome

The service was great. We had very friendly server and the food was delicious I would come again!

Food was fast/good, service was good. Great outdoor patio. Food

Thanks to owner for making us feel comfortable!

Great place for a drink in the summer, the patio is big and spacious. Locke street and the Westtown have a great vibe.

Great breakfast menu, friendly staff, nice vibe. Bring a good appetite because the servings are generous!

Such a nice dog friendly establishment! Beautiful patio and friendly staff. Items are well priced as well. Loved it!

Sitting on the patio at this place was great! Food was tasty (ordered nachos and a poutine) gravy was excellent! Drinks were cold and fast!

Great diner to come for a quick bite or a pint. Service was great and quick. Their in house brew is great and decent menu.

Best servers in the biz

Great local place for breakfast lunch or dinner. You cant go wrong with the West town bar.

Family friendly and loyal to regulars!

Was great.. club sandwich

Casual dining on outside pstio is lovely.

Went for breakfast. Service was fast and the food great.

Worst grill

Went with friends. Not a franchise! Great service and food. A delight.

Well, how cozy and tasty it is here and large portions, I really liked it!! Special thanks to the staff for their attentiveness, accuracy, and good mood! There is an opportunity to sit on the terrace with the dog

Limited vegetarian/vegan options. Carnivores were very satisfied.

Always good food and good service.

Greatest service and I loved the pizza

Great breakfast!!

Steak and eggs were great. Staff were friendly and pleasant.

Just okay. Nothing you will rave about, but not bad either. Just okay. Breakfast only til 2pm. No lunch ( burgers, nachos etc) til AFTER 2pm on Sat and Sunday. ????? Very nice patio, 5stars for that and dog friendly which is awesome! Prices are high! $18.99 for 8 chicken wings. Food

Very pricey meals...Lock street restaurants very expensive and portions very little

We ordered very basic breakfast items and at the time there were only several customers. But somehow, they took 30+ minutes to prepare our simple order. The food itself was very average, but the long wait was unacceptable to us. We will not return again.

Great summer patio. Wonderful staff, super friendly & attentive. Tasty daily specials - which I love Food : 4/5

Best breakfast in the city!

I usually like to check reviews before going out to eat, but my friend and I walked by this place and gave it a shot since a lot of other places were closed. The outdoor seating area is really nice but that s probably the extent of how much we enjoyed the place. I got the chicken Parmesan special which didn t taste that great and the side salad that wasn t fresh. My friend got the chicken soup and said he s had better canned soup. I wouldn t go back.

Great Servers even Barbie made an appearance.

Had a great meal here. Was walking by with my date while on the wait list for another nearby restaurant. We loved the look of their large patio area, so cancelled the other place and went in. Food, service, and atmosphere were all superb! They had two soups-of-the-day to choose from, which was a pleasant surprise. Well be back for sure!

Casual atmosphere with friendly staff that make you feel like youre a regular. Food is always good and at a great price.

Food and service were fantastic. Breakfast served until 11am. I got the Duck soup and 4 cheese pierogis.

Beautiful new patio, good service and the breakfast was delicious, hot and timely. It has become our regular breakfast spot.

Well the food was good however I feel compelled to provide this less than satisfactory review. When the bill came I politely commented that I thought it would be appropriate to remove the charge for the rye toast because it didn t arrive till after the soup was consumed. The server took the bill back then returned saying the manager denied this and explained that if we wanted to pursue it she could have the manager come over. We were told by the manager that if we ate it, we paid for it, this was their policy. Further saying we should have sent it back or not eaten it. I let him know that s fine you manage it the way you need to. This lower manager threw a five dollar bill on the table to cover the toast and said he had to stick to the policy of not removing something from the bill to save face with the higher manager. There seems many issues here which will cause me not to return. This policy, the way it was stated which put responsibility on the client for not sending something back, and how they treat their staff that the server could not have autonomy to remove less than $3 off the bill for an order of toast to make a customer happy, and the lower manager needed to follow the policy and pay out it pocket to not be in trouble with their own management. Hopefully they read the review and take it as a feedback to make positive changes. We won t know, as we will not be back.

Awful not like it used to be totally disappointed

A happy go lucky bar and grill filled with attentive staff and many smiles who are willing to respond to my feeble jokes

The servers were great, best draft hienikan I ve ever had. Very clean and respectful bar, feels like I was at home with great company. Would definitely recommend this bar to anyone that s interested

Almost a throwback to a small town diner. Nothing fancy, but good food and good service. I would be happy to recommend if someones looking for a no nonsense menu with the staples like hamburger, club sandwich etc

Have been there half a dozen times this summer and really enjoy the patio. Service has always been excellent ! Until now the food has always been very good. Ordered the spinach salad with add on of chicken. Last time it was so good but this time the chicken was dry and crisp. Looked like flattened fries. I ate the salad but left a couple of the worst strips of chicken to show the server who acknowledged that the chicken was terribly overcooked (and not for the first time that day). No acknowledgment from the manager/owner (?) who was on the patio the entire time. Next time I will send it back right away so they can throw it out and I will order something else. Not looking for a discount but would like to know that the person in charge (who has been visible on the patio every time we have been there) has spoken to the kitchen to solve the problem.

A good bar and tavern, was preparing for Halloween when I was there...popular with my beer-discerning mates with a good variety of said beverages

Love the crab cake bennys.

Freezer burnt ribs, tasted like it was cooked prior and microwaved. Fries dried up and bland with mediocre wings. Service was pretty poor, my child s food was brought out last and before we got our take out container the machine was brought over while she glared down on me the whole time after I waited 15 or so minutes for my bill. My wife s chowder was super weird and the liquid was separating .. definitely not made in house. Won t be going back actually disappointing because the outside looked promising.. strange for locke street.

No licquor license at the time

reduced hours - no LLBO approval for a couple of weeks...

The service was great, breakfast not so much. The house potatoes were raw, the bacon wasn t crispy and I asked for my eggs over easy and they weren t. It is unfortunate as we live close by, but don t think we ll be returning for breakfast.

Was in their Greek up weekend? The wages was very kind and courteous great job

The staff was extremely rude, it seems they ve fallen victim to the old guard phenomenon seems they have some weird entitlement / god complex issues - I came with a group of 5 friends, and before we even got greeted or managed to order we overheard severs at the bar discussing how they didn t make good tip money, heard them complaining about patrons by name, and witnessed them scrolling through their phones instead of prioritizing guests. Would definitely recommend any place but this one.

Graham (manager) is bitter, jaded, and super cynical. He made homophobic jokes about one of our party members, and then hit on one of our female colleague to the point where she felt so uncomfortable that she teared up and left. This place is best left alone; Imagine it being one of those graveyard spots that shouldn t be looked at unless you re holding your breath. Go ANYWHERE but here.

Extremely rude waitress before I went to the bar I called and asked if they wore playing a soccer match she said yes I asked could she check to confirm she said no so I went there and from the beginning extremely rude I left without ordering I highly recommend to not come to this place

Great place with a nice atmosphere to have a meal and a nice chat with friends. JJ our server was very diligent and friendly. Food : 4/5
