This is a super shopping and entertainment center that's much like the "riverwalk" or "city walk" places that some cities are setting up as destinations. This place has everything you would need for a successful date night - ice cream shops, restaurants, multi-screen movie theater, shopping (large chains and small one-off's) and what would be complete without excellent beer options! Parking is good and I noticed a strong security presence of rent-a-cops and actual cops. Perhaps that was because there was an NFL game the next day at the nearby University of Phoenix stadium, but I'm glad that they were there. read more

Westgate Entertainment District - Shopping Centers Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Really upset. I never go out a lot and the main reason why is because people think drunk driving is okay. Someone hit our car within the 3 and a half hours we were there to watch a movie and left nothing but the police number and the back of our car light smashed and car dented bad. West gate has no cameras near Dave's and busters, Shane's rib shake and the parking lots down Hanna rd. Also according to the officer who assisted us, the cameras that cover a partial area of the lot, have been under "maintenance" for quite a while. Police can't do anything so that leaves us to pay for everything. Thanks west gate for not being a secure place to leave a car. Also if you know anyone who left this note. Call the Glendale police department. read more

Nah this is the trenches of clubbing. Ghetto asf, if you want your shit stolen then come here! I was at Salt and someone really had the nerve to steal my phone right out of my pocket. They even make you pay $10 to get into places starting at a certain time. Wish i could leave a better review but I'm just trying to give ppl a fair warning. Listen I'm not saying I didn't have a good time, but was it worth it.?? Absolutely not. read more

I went to see a movie this weekend and apparently there was an event at the stadium down the street. i parked the lot right next to the movies and came out to my car gone. towed it bc i went to watch a movie.. read more

Been here a billion times and this place is good to chill with friends. Not too great when it's raining, or when it's melting hot, since this place is outdoorsy. Great place to play Pokemon Go if you're into that stuff, plenty of stops and gyms, and a variety of Pokemons. A lot of bars and places that serves alcoholic beverages if you into that sort of stuff. A few great restaurants, and a AMC movie theatre. This place has a bit of everything. You can also ride the free shuttle that will take you to the Outlets for some serious shopping. There's a splash pad for the kiddos, live bands will always play in the evening, a beautiful fountain that dances, occasionally big gatherings or events occurs like bike night or truck night, or whatever night. Plenty of parking, unless there is a home game happening, then you're screwed. And lastly the Loo's to do twos...all very clean. They sure maintain the place well. Overall an exciting place to go and hang out! read more

Took a walk around this area, there were many things that I wanted to see. From the ice skating ring to the movie theater, or there the restaurants around the corners. This also a great place to hang out even family with kids this place has it all . This is an open air district with shops and services, and entertainment. This place also closes to the football stadium that right around the corner. read more

My Girlfriend and I have been here a few times, whenever I am in town. it's a great place to have a date night, walk around, people watch, and get some drinks. This district is very cool and has a great atmosphere. There is a variety of things to do in terms of bars, restaurants, shops. I would highly recommend, however, for management to bring back a place like the "Shout House". It was a home grown feeling of fun. Everything other place now there, just seems to be a little pricey, stuffy, or not as good old fun. read more

um.. old people place? lol sorry everyone, but if its not rocking out some recent rock or hip hop.... its older people place. Not sure what to expect since I'm coming from LA, I guess not as bad of a review unless I lived in Vegas uh? haha But this place on a Saturday night has lots of people but since the place is so huge & has such wide open areas... it really looked like the center needed more people. Parking: Plenty Atmosphere: Billboards are probably more trendy then the whole happening areas. Crowd is older than 30+, so no messed up rowdy annoying high schoolers or college crowds around? Respectful & fun still, its what you make of it right? Genuinely nice people. I mean I think I'm being really nice for giving 1+ star. Seems like everyone else in AZ is rating near the same I rate it =/ Still a place to check out though. And if you're a tourist, probably a good place to still check out since theres alot of restaurants & such. So thinking this place's age crowd ranges from 30+? read more

No longer go here. First off, the prices here are a little bit more than average restaurants. This doesn't bother me as my favorite restaurant is here and the venue is unmatched anywhere else in West Phoenix. Second, the bar specifically McFadden has awful staff there. A drunk man whom I've never met was behind me and my friend, he then attacked someone behind him and they threw him out and us! We weren't even relevant to that situation Finally, the parking is terrible! I don't care about hockey, I don't go to Westgate for hockey. Wanna eat at a restaurant? Too bad you have to pay $15 for parking and then get refunded later. Wanna see a 9 pm movie? Too bad, your gonna have to pay $15 for parking AND not get refunded. read more

This place reminds me of LA always packed and there's no parking. yuck. We were trying to get dinner at a restaurant but left after 30minutes of looking for parking. The fact that there's never parking and they offer additional parking but westgate wants to charge $30-40?!? That's bs I'm not paying I'm just going to leave . read more

Westgate is a great place to go, day or night. We spent the whole day there, starting with lunch at an outdoor patio, sunny day, watching the world go by. Did some shopping, came back for dinner at The Yard House, went to go see a Coyotes hockey game, then hung out rest of the evening and enjoyed the night time atmosphere with music playing, people all about. You can also go to the movies, and there's even a Dave & Busters. Was a great day, something for everyone. read more

I recently went there for dinner and drinks...happened to be a hockey game and they charged $15.00. Plus Glendale charges 10% tax on purchases. read more

Westgate has everything you need. I popped over to do some axe throwing with friends. We had a blast. Afterward we were able to hop around to several bars to have drinks and snacks! read more

Stop charging so much for parking and ticketing people after 3 minutes. Stop nickel and dimming your customers. Not needed.

I really don't like this place it's overrated and kind of annoying how the bars here think they are all that and wanting to charge $40 more or less just to come inside and grab a drink. This whole place made me laugh and was definitely a waste of my time walking through here the only place that wasn't charging a cover to visit their establishment was Yard House and they were packed props to them for not trying to exploit drunk people for financial gain! Do yourself a favor and avoid Westgate it's a waste of time, money, & and their is nothing here really except a bunch of bars that think they are all that! read more

WESTGATE! West Gate has been one of my favorite hangout spots for a long time, since high school! I remember going to the movies at AMC and going to Johnny Rockets for milkshakes all the time. As I got a little older, I started to venture out to the higher end restaurants and bars at West Gate. This proves that West Gate is a place for everyone. I really like that there's a lot of outdoor seating and tables so you can spend some quality time outdoors. They have a splash pad for the kids too! A lot of times there's events and live music as well. There's also a great variety of options for drinks and food. There are TONS of restaurants and bars to choose from. Some of my favorite places are: Whiskey Rose, a really fun country bar with great whiskey sours. Bar Louie because $5 dollar (delicious) burger Tuesdays, and Yard House because I can't get away from their Poke nachos. Kabuki also has great deals on cocktails and appetizers during their happy hour. Some activities that I like to do at West Gate other than eating and drinking is to play arcade games at Dave and Buster's and it is also great ground to play Pokémon Go! I would say the main reasons I come to Westgate are to catch a movie or to wine and dine. Although, there are other activities you can tend to like painting pottery or getting your nails done. Make sure to come a little early as parking can be difficult on weekends. You will find a spot, as their parking lot is huge, it just might be bit of a ways out! read more

Are you not entertained? This is pretty much a playground for adults. No way you can come here and not find something you like. Yeah, I get it, there are tons of chain restaurants...but come on, when have you been so picky that you can't eat wings...or Yard House...or Tex-Mex. Actually, scratch that, don't get any of the Tex-Mex available here. In fact, don't eat ANYWHERE that doubles as a club late at night. But do drink in those places. Go barhopping because you can find any liquor, any beer, or any genre of music. Most places here don't stick out to me. On their own, only 2-3 establishments break the four-star barrier. However, all the options transform into a giant gathering area greater than the sum of its parts. Oh, and there's the sports teams and the movie theater. This rivals Bell Road for coolest place in the West Valley, and makes a good reprieve from other nightlife hotspots like Scottsdale and Roosevelt. read more

Good lord, this place was lame on a Saturday. We went around 11:30 a.m. to eat lunch at Moe's Southwest Grill and Which Witch, and afterwards, we wanted to check out the shops. A little after noon, only a handful of shops were open and those were pretty much only the big name shops. Even shops that had signs indicated they should be open, weren't. I don't know anything about retail shopping centers but it seems that Westgate should regulate that. As a result of so many shops being closed, we were bored out of our minds. Our 4 year old probably enjoyed herself the most on the splash pad. I have been here before for a concert and it gets happening at night around the restaurants. But retail shops, um not so much. read more

My family and I absolutely love this place! We've only visited Dave & Busters, a Boba place, and Fat Tuesday. Great experience at each of those places. Dave & Busters has great food! Service can improve in the pool table area during happy hour. Reminds me of Las Vegas! :) read more

Hot Rod Night! I loved seeing Westgate buzzing on a Wednesday night. It was literally humming with the sounds of Hot Rod cars. I am not much of a car enthusiast, but it was heart-warming to see families tailgating around these pretty, pristine cars. Westgate welcomes these collectors with their monthly events, and it was nice to such a great turn out. It is good for the community and the Westgate bizzes! read more

Very poor customer service. They now charge for parking on games days and their site says 4 hours before the game starts. However, due to them not being in sync with the cashiers when I arrived 4 hours and 15 mins before the game started they charged me any way. They said don't worry since I am going to a kids birthday party at dave and busters they can take the $10 parking off the bill. Since it was a party there was no bill. $10 to self park at a mall lot is ridiculous. read more

If your going to see the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com arena.....or the Arizona Cardinals at the University of Phoenix stadium....then you you can't really miss the experience that is the Westgate City Center. Now it is not a spectacular mall by any means...and the parking is a bit confusing...but it does have it's own flair and style. During the summer months it is the perfect place to go after a game or event at the stadiums...because you can grab some dinner....a drink...take a nice walk....or just hang out and watch the stars in the beautiful skies over Glendale Arizona. The best part about all of this along with the close proximity to the stadiums.....is the parking is FREE....can't beat that. Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends!!!! read more

I'm glad it's open now but people still don't practice safe distancing! for those who are reckless, let's continue to be more careful, we're still not free from the virus so if we want to keep westgate open, we need to do our part as well! read more

Entertainment is certainly a good noun for this area. Gila River Arena for me is the main attraction as I am a Coyotes fan. Typical restaurants, bars, and shops are here and it's fun to walk around at night and see all the happenings. read more

I've been here a few times over the past few years, and I have to say, its not half bad. Lots of shopping, food, a movie theater, and its close to the arenas that you can be in the center of everything for sports and concerts. I will say, every time I come here it's never packed and I can't figure out why. Parking is ample, and there's even a hotel on site as well! This place is great to go to eitehr before or after a concert or a sporting event, as there's plenty to do. Go check it out! read more

If you build it they will come. Westgate Entertainment District is a great place to come, relax and enjoy hanging out. Westgate offers a variety of dining establishments and refreshments as you stroll around the district enjoying the sights and sounds. There is so much to do at Westgate Entertainment District. I really enjoy sitting in front of the waterfalls and watching the water fountains that are synchronized to music. My nephew likes the splash pad especially on those hot summer days. Westgate has a AMC movie theater, large variety of restaurants, arts &crafts, and specialty shops to choose from, and did I mention the Tanger Outlets are right across the street within walking distance. If you have some time to spare; Westgate is a great place to do it. read more

Spacious parking, easy to get there, kids friendly, restaurants, and stores. We have a nice time while walking around this "open mall". Today was 84 degrees (coming from the east coast it was hot) and not wonder why it was full of people; we were relaxing and refreshing while visiting this place nice breeze and shadows. read more

Reading through the reviews, lots of people really seem to hate this place because of the chain restaurants, unclassy clientele and the bad parking. Well, then go somewhere else! For us, we don't enjoy hanging out at the bars on a Friday or Saturday night. But, we do work late, so the fact that there are decent places to eat late at night during the week, really works for us. Yard House has always had decent food, with a huge list of options. You can pretty much get whatever you're in the mood for. Saddle Ranch Chop House is a bit loud for me, and I could really do without the bull, but again, they have some decent food, and lots to choose from. I had never been to Buffalo Wild Wings until the other night. It was very good! We had a super-nice waitress, which always makes any dining experience so much better. The cheese curds were yummy (they don't even need the sauce). And, hubby and I shared a large wings, we each picked 2 sauces. I'm a fan of the honey BBQ! For the others, Shane's Rib Shack...so good! Which Wich...not a fan. Chipotle...I actually preferred when it was Moe's. Kabuki...pretty good. Now, for the lack of one star...do not like McFadden's. Went there once, and never again! Ditto for Margaritaville! I'm originally from South Florida, so I've been to the original one in Key West. I got so excited when they opened out here, but that soon went away. The servers were horrid, and the food was just bad. Plus, considering they're supposed to be a bar-type restaurant, they're one of the few that close really early. We still haven't tried Whiskey Rose or Calico Jack's. Calico Jack's is advertised, both on their website and on their front door, as being open until 2am every night. Well, we tried to go there at 12:05am, and they were already closing. After we'd left Saddle Ranch, a little after 1am, we walked by, and their lights were all off. If you don't want to stay open until 2am on a Thursday, then don't advertise that you are. We also enjoy the outer rim restaurants, like Gordon Biersch (yummy!!) and My Big Fat Greek Restaurant (they serve my favorite salad). We really only come to Westgate to have meals. We wouldn't go near the place during gamedays or concerts, mainly because of crowds and parking. But, we're aware of that, so we don't get all upset, like some other reviewers. If we're going to an event at the arena or stadium, then we make sure to eat at the event or before we get there. read more

You have to pay $20 to park and visit a business on game day because Westgate pimps out their parking lot. I went ahead and paid because my son wanted to go to Dave and Busters for his birthday, but I won't be coming back. We'll go to Arrowhead from now on. read more

Yard house.... and Gordon Biersch I don't care for any of the shops to be quite honest with you. would i drive out of my way to go to west gate for a girls night out or anything?? Or even for a dinner date with my man? NOT A CHANCE! Way too far for me, and nothing that exciting. Its justa mediocre spot for me. I go there if I really HAVE too. When some one says west gate, I think Ugh...Nooo =[ DEFINITELY NOT worth a 30-40 minute drive. If i lived close by then that might be my only option but since I don't i have far more places here in chandler that keep me plenty satisfied and my wallet content. read more

Have to pay to park 15.00 to go eat dinner ? Never heard of such a thing. Well guess we will go someplace else.

We usually come to this place on the weekends. But when my hubby is craving for some Japanese foods at Kabuki, we sometimes come twice or 3 times a week haha. I love the happy vibes and very lively ambiance of this area. Obviously a lot of people loves it here, because this place is always packed. Other than the Phoenix Sports Stadium nearby, which seem to always have fun events going on. There's hotel also,if you come here as visitor and need a place to stay for the night. They have shopping Centers too on the other side. I love to shop at the Outlet Mall here. This Entertain Center has a lot to offer. Restaurants,Arcades, shopping places, Nail Salon & Spa, Ice cream and other sweet treats places etc. If you come here for dinner, as most people do, there's plenty of restaurants to choose from, whatever your craving for the night . Hubby and I loves to dine at Kabuki, our favorite Japanese Restaurant here. Then afterwards we go watch movie at the AMC. There's a lot of fun places to go here, there's Dave & Busters, which is always crowded that both kids and adults love! You can also bowl at Tavern + Bowl, or if you just want to relax and sit, you can go to the park and just listen to the band that's playing on the park or just have a good chat as you cath up with friends and families. I love this place a lot! It's quite far from where we live, but it's worth the 25 minutes drive ^_^ read more

This is a cool place to go when you want to get out and people watch, plus keep your kids entertained. An outdoor mall of sorts, perhaps more accurately an outdoor food court? There is a huge movie theater, more popular franchise restaurants and a few smaller places to eat. Our favorite area is the main pavilion, where comfortable outdoor furniture (shade included) surrounds a large splash pad. I have only been here a handful of times, but my family and I enjoyed ourselves! During certain parts of the year, there is a small car show on Wednesday nights, so of course my husband and I had to check it out! read more

Edit: the Marketing Director responded saying (among other things) "...We are proud to support mothers who breastfeed. It is our responsibility to ensure all team members are aware of this property-wide breastfeeding policy and we will internally discuss and reiterate this immediately..." I thank you, Jessica. Do NOT give Westgate your business! I was hidden in the back alley nursing my 8 month old son and security (Smith) told me to cover up since I could "offend someone" (My son rips covers off and I am always very discreet when it comes to nursing). When I asked to speak to the supervisor, she told me I had to cover up since it is "private property." I asked if she wanted my business and she said "we want your business, but we don't want your business doing THAT." read more

Cool places to eat, shop, and just look at all around. Every place we went to had great service. The best thing is how close it is to our hotel. We walked out and it's about 200 yards away to endless good times! read more

Westgate is horrible! Every place inside is absolutely horrible right now. You walk inside anywhere, they seat you, stare at you and ignore you until you finally get fed up with being stared at and not served! Please do not come to westgate! Idk if it's the vaccines getting to these people or what but something is in the air here!!!!!! read more

This 3 star rating of mine is more for how pretty the fountains and lights are more than anything else. The thing about this place that annoys me to no end is the fact that the entire parking lot here is basically dedicated to game parking on game days. So regardless of whether you are going to the game or not going to the game, you will end up paying a great $10 to park here. You might be going to the movies, shopping, or eating, but you will have to pay $10 to use the parking lot, which mind you, is already inundated with hundreds of cars looking for game day parking. read more

If you have tickets to the comedy show or axe throwing and are ADA, you're out of luck. They have the west elevator closed and then the escalator is closed.

I would give them no stars if I could. I am an employee in the Westgate District. Today was the Friesra Bowl and I have handicapp plates.They did have handicapp parking for employees and made me park almost to Glendale. I requested a ride and they told me they couldn't do it. If I needed to park in handicapp I needed to pay $10.00. I had to go to work and and it was pretty much to bad. I am very disappointed in the way I was treated and with no regard to my disability.

We decided to stop here at the Westgate entertainment center so we can look around all the shops and the restaurants and we also came to see the State Farm Stadium to attend the free RV show that was going on this weekend it was rather nice. They had Mercedes Dodge Ford winnebagos just a name a few of the Arby's provided they also had bands that were total conversion them to camping vehicles. It was nice when we got there at the time it was being sponsored by La Mesa RV and we showed up just in time they were giving away free hamburgers and hot dogs and drinks and giving away prizes people as we sat down gave us tickets they all went ahead and gave us a $200 voucher for a trade in on an RV at the La Mesa RV really nice. They also had a show where they could demonstrate how to cook your food on the outside throw that is attached to your RV which is rather nice as well. We really enjoyed this the parking was free it was also free to go inside the RV Show and no one has loved you were bothered you when you would go in inside all the different RVs to look at all the different styles okay read more
