This bar has the reputation of being a hang out for "preppies"/"frat boys" etc let me assure you it is not but with a large university just walking distance away I can see why it seems that way. I meet all types here and they also host many smaller local bands which I admire. When a band does play here it's usually free which is another bonus. There is a full bar on the roof of the establishment which is something no other bar in the area can boast of. What can I say I like the place and I like going there. read more

Appears to be poorly organized no matter what night you go. If you ask different people the cover change at the door, everyone will give you a different answer. With an establishment such as this one, or any nightlife for that matter; it's best to be on one accord and get your ducks in a row for any type of event. Knowing your worth is important. And not over valuing that worth is essential. Look at me now X Chris Brown ? Lol read more

This was really wack bro . Ppl out here can be boring asf and also they need a new Dj in there . Music was trash

THE BATHROOMS WERE DISGUSTING. I attached some pictures. Public park bathroom level. Graffiti everywhere and dried liquids I don't even want to know what all over the floor. One of the sinks was almost entirely ripped apart, with empty soap bottles flipped over and no paper towels. Sides that come with the order don't actually come with it, and you're expected to get up and find them yourself (as the waiters didn't even bother to tell us where to find them). If this place is going to look and smell like a bar, it needs to be like that instead of advertising it as a "brunch" place. I was appalled by the cleanliness and won't be back. read more

See all

Unfortunate service- lots of mistakes with the order. Was charged $4 for a cup of coffee poured out of the carafe that tasted like it may have been sitting there all morning... was hoping for that onyx coffee advertised! Food was pretty good, but so many mix ups and delays. Felt very unorganized and like no one really cared. Won't return. read more

If you enjoy waiting longer than it takes to cook a Thanksgiving turkey for your meal, this is the place for you! The service was horrific, and made snails seem like speed demons. I'd suggest bringing a book, or three, to pass the time while you wait for your food to arrive. Unless you have a spare afternoon to waste, steer clear and find a restaurant where they actually prioritize serving their customers. Safe to say, I won't be returning, ever. read more

Rude, lazy staff. Sat there for 20 minutes before telling us to order from the bar. We were the only ones there so it's not like it was busy. No help at all. Will not be back. read more

Overwhelmingly underwhelmed: essentially an old dive bar now trying to be a brunch club. Menu was confusing and the price was really high for what you actually got and the service was slow. You have to order at the counter, so you feel really duped by the time you get your food and try it and realize how much you Over tipped. The mimosa is a $15 mini bucket of fruit punch and ice, not much champagne. There is a mural that says something along the lines of, "not having fun? Lower your expectations." Seems pretty appropriate. read more

Great bartenders!!! Fun atmosphere!!! Love the chicken nachos!!! I don't know where these bad reviews came from...truly check it out.

I ordered 5 ranch waters and handed 2 to my friend to pass to others. I turned back around to notice 2 were full and the other was about 1/4 full. I asked the bartender if I could get another because it must've spilled. He said "it's not my problem if you spilled a drink" then he grabbed the drink and noticed the cup was leaking and gave me another. Don't love him blaming a customer immediately for no reason. I like this establishment but had a poor experience tonight. read more

Barely in the b**** for less than 5 min and some drama happened. Secuirty came and didn't give me a chance to walk out myself and man handled me out the door. Y'all be trynna make it even for the mf that started it but wasn't able to give the same respect to have me walk out. Y'all coulda been making some money. Don't come here unless you want to get half poured shots - California read more

Went there for one night and will most likely be my last time going there. The service was friendly for the most part. Basically, I opened a tab, the bar tenders held on to my card, nothing out of the ordinary. However, when I went to close it out, they gave my card to some other person who "had an identical style card" as mine. Doesn't make sense considering they gave my card to a girl and I'm a guy. They also claimed that our cards looked the same, definitely not true. Same color, but different style printing. They were little to no help as well in regards to trying to help me get my card back. The bar was not too crowded as well, so I'm honestly not sure how they messed up so terribly. Long story short, I will not be going back to this place. Apparently they don't know the difference between guys and girls names so... read more

Absolutely terrible service. Decent food. Terrible tik tok music that made the food taste worse. Honestly won't ever be back. Do not recommend.- read more

Asked for grey goose vodka. Grey goose is a regular drink. First sip I took reminded of freshman year of college. Heaven hill disguised as goose. Disappointed they would catfish a paying customer. Customers beware. read more

Perfect place to grab mind blowing food and some mind erasing drinks! If there was a spot for a nap I would have stayed from opening to closing! Thank you to the staff for being wonderful to our group. read more

Update: 2 years later: this bar is still trash and the floor is still sticky. why these kids like going here I will never understand

I love brunch so I wanted to try a new place and the idea of a brunch bar sounded like a good one, but in this case maybe not so much. This place feels like it's a bar that one day decided to serve breakfast. I got the Bills Your Dad, and the hash browns were more like mashed potato strips, and the meal overall was just basic. My wife got the biscuits and gravy which sounded awesome but when it came out it had clearly been microwaved, and the gravy itself was weirdly gritty. The brunch bar idea is great, but doesn't stick the landing. read more

This place feels more like a bar that happens to have breakfast more than a brunch place. I get the draw of this place, but the food is lazily put together. Was disappointed with the biscuits and gravy (the gravy was oily, broken, and lumpy). My partner got the pool party, which was better but was super basic and just ok. We also got the papaya with fruit and yogurt which ended up being really difficult to eat. They got rid of most of the good part of the papaya and didn't cut up the remainder to eat with the rest of the fruit. Was really hard to eat without a spoon (they only gave us disposable forks and knives to eat with). read more

They were rude and disrespectful. If i could give 0/5 stars i would. Very unpleased. Need new staff

We got kicked out for no reason. Some bouncer came up and started randomly pushing me and my friends trying to get physical with us to instigate a fight. This bouncer called us a lot of racial slurs and should be fired. I want a manager to respond to this so I can give his name to them. Someone needs to make sure these bouncers don't think they are above everyone else. read more

Love the atmosphere and the sauces are to die for. definitely get havana sauce it's awesome. the gravy is amazing. Don't know where these negative reviews came from because I loved my experience. read more

Fun atmosphere and great food! Cool place to come drink with friends. I'll definitely be back

This place is an amazing idea with a really cool vibe to it. The service was amazing and food was cheaper than other breakfast places. Speaking of the food I got waffles with coco peoples on top and they were amazing! I'm already looking forward to going back! read more

Immature bartenders with inflated egos. Skip this place and their watered down drinks and thug bouncers. They stole my credit card and didn't even deny it. read more

Go here more towards the end of the night. Especially when the patio is open. Maybe like 11ish. If you've been on Dickson, you've probably noticed a "migration" pattern with all the people. It's because the college kids know when to go where at what time. West End is a great time especially during the end of the night. It also has a ridiculously cool rooftop patio! read more

This is the absolute worst bar ever bouncers are extremely rude and must have some serious self esteem issues. They turn the lights on at one and start kicking everyone out by shining flashlights in your eyes and yelling at you to leave. If you enjoy terrible drinks and rude people this bar is for you. Z bar right across the street is much better. read more

Apparently Covid doesn't exist at West End because there was not a mask in sight and I had to shove my way through the enormous crowd just to get to the bar to get a drink. On top of that, once I got to the bar, the bartender himself was not even wearing a mask and was basically spitting in the girl next to me's face. So once we finally got our drinks, at 1:40 we started getting screamed at to leave. That's all fine and good except my boyfriend hadn't finished his beer and he was attempting to finish it when a bouncer got in his face and started screaming at him to "get the fuck out." My boyfriend then made a joke asking if he could at least finish his beer first which prompted said bouncer to grab him by the collar and proceed to shove him out and almost down the stairs. When he was close to almost pushing my boyfriend down the stairs I grabbed the bouncer by the sweatshirt and told him not to touch my boyfriend like that he turned around and said "Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it bitch?" Long story short this bar is trash, their drinks are trash, and their staff is trash. If you enjoy trash then this is the place for you but if not spend your money at literally any other bar on Dickson. read more

Great bar off dickson street. Huge patio which is great with nice weather and after a football game. Great prices and a good time!

The bouncers here are both rude and ignorant. They have a local reputation of being the biggest jerks on Dickson, and boy do they live up to it. Won't be returning read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! This bar has been nothing but trouble ever since I've gone there! First time I was charged 45 dollars when I actually spend 5..and the second time a blacked out kid just came up and hit my friend out of nowhere and the "bouncers" blamed us for it. GO AT YOUR OWN RISK. Will never be returning!!! read more

Impressive rooftop, friendly staff, good drinks! We had a group of a dozen girls in from our of town for a bachelorette party, and West End did not disappoint. read more

I could not be more appreciative or thankful for the excellent service the staff and ownership gave to us. We came out of town to watch the game and they welcomed us in and we even came back after the game. Awesome atmosphere and will definitely come back! They provided a free lunch to boot! This is definitely the place to hang out at! Loved the patio too!!! Go Tech! read more
