    Cereal pop up bar
    Priyanka S.

    I first came to Westwood bar for a yelp event but properly visited it for the first time with friends during their SF cereal pop up bar event. For the event we had to get tickets in advance and show them at the entrance upon which we would get a raffle ticket which we could then take to the very back of the bar where the entrance was and use to get a complementary drinks which came with our prepaid ticket fee. The back entrance leads to a two story separate bar area which was dimly lit and had tons of cereal themed posters and drink choices to choose from. All of the drinks were delicious and reminiscent of childhood cereal flavors but the two that I decided to get were the coco pebbles chocolate cocktail and the fruity pebbles spritzer. Out of the two I liked the coco pebbles drink more since it reminded me of bailies and was very tasty. My bf also decided to get the cinnamon crunch slushy drink and my goodness was this drink tasty. It was actually my favorite one of the night and was sweet and creamy and barely tasted like alcohol, definitely being less strong than the coco pebbles drink. Overall, it was a very fun vibe and the drinks were very unique and cute! I would definitely come back to check out another one of their themed pop up bars again.

    Stopped by the Holly Jolly Pop-Up Bar at Westwood Annex last night with friends and had a great time! The holiday decorations are absolutely adorable everywhere you look there's twinkling lights, garlands, and festive touches that really get you in the Christmas spirit. The atmosphere is fun and lively, perfect for a night out with friends during the holidays. The effort they put into the theme shows, and it's a nice escape from the everyday bar scene. Drinks were solid and the vibe was exactly what we needed. If you're looking for a festive spot to hang out this season, this pop-up delivers on the holiday cheer!

    First time coming to this place with friends. Overall, there was a good amount of people on a Friday night. There's a mechanical bull inside. I think this place needs to add more ventilation inside since we came in a little later in the night, right when we walked in it was super musty inside. Still cute inside, just plan to wear thinner clothing when trying to party.

    I don't go out too often, and the Marina area isn't my first choice, but I visited for the Sabrina Carpenter themed pop-up thought the drinks were so creative, and tasted great. Although the decor was cute, some items seemed like cheap pieces from amazon. I was also surprised by their food menu, tons of great bar food options for a decent price. My friend informed me that when the space isn't decorated for the pop-up events that they usually play rnb + hip-hop.

    This was my second time at Westwood and both times, the service has been consistently great. The staff genuinely cares about customer experience, which I appreciate. I love the décor, the fun signage, line dancing, pool tables, and games; it's a lively spot! That said, the crowd leans younger (mostly 20s), so while I'm in my 40s and felt a little out of place, it was still a fun atmosphere. I returned for Sabrina Carpenter's Pink Pop-Up Bar in the basement of Westwood, but overall, it fell short of expectations. The music was low-energy, which made the vibe feel slow. Our $20 ticket included a drink, which was fine but nothing special. The biggest issue was the lack of tables--despite making a reservation for five, we stood around in heels for 30 minutes before finally finding a spot. To make matters worse, we had a 7:30 PM reservation but weren't let in until 8 PM, standing outside in the cold for half an hour. While the decor had some cute photo ops, I expected more from a pop-up experience. It would have been nice if reservations guaranteed seating or if they had a photographer for guests since the pop-up was meant for photo moments. Overall, I love Westwood's main bar, but I wouldn't recommend the Pink Pop-Up Bar unless they improve the experience--better music, guaranteed seating with reservations, and a smoother entry process.

    Come here for Taco Tuesday!! They have an amazing deal for $2 margaritas and ~$5 tacos. I was shocked by how strong and tasty the margarita was - they have a bunch of flavors but my favorite were the blood orange and strawberry. The tacos are also surprisingly delicious and quite generously portioned. Service was great.

    Super nice place, they have like 10 different areas were you can fun; lots of games to try, very good fun, 2 full bars, if you are in SF come here definitely, sone days they have a cover but is totally worth it.

    What a fun lil spot in SF. We came here for a work happy hour welcome event and it was really cool to come in and be with a group that hasn't seen each other in quite some time. They had a mechanical bull that some of us got to ride during the event and it was such an experience. Definitely the star of the show! The food was served buffet style in the back near this area and was enough to feed the lot of us. It was substantial and pretty tasty. Music was a bit too loud. At first it was confined to the back area so some of me and my colleagues moved to the front around the booths to catch up and chat but they turned on the speaker there and it became way too loud across the whole bar. This was probably my only gripe with the place but other than that, it was such a cool spot for a big and energetic group.

    I attended Westwood for a work party recently, and overall I'll say this is a really fun, western themed bar. If you're looking for a casual spot to hang out with friends, complete with friendly bartenders, decent food, and quirky ambiance, this is a great spot for you. The highlight was the mechanical bull in the back, and while I wasn't drinking at this party, my friends seemed to really enjoy the craft cocktails, and I liked that they had a good amount of NA options available at the bar. My only critique (and it could just be that I'm getting old!) was that the volume of this bar is LOUD. I had a hard time speaking to folks, and it gave me the impression that usually this place is probably catering more to a young party-going crowd that's more about late night dancing, rather than sip on your cocktail and chat. And that's OK, you might just keep that in mind if you're deciding where to go on your night out on the town.

    Visited Westwood for a company offsite and booked the entire main bar. For those that don't know, Westwood has a main bar as well as a hidden, speakeasy style room downstairs in the back for special/private events. Private event consisted of drinks and buffet style food. Couple bartenders working the event. Drinks were tasty and strong. At its peak, though, wait times for a drink could be 20+ min. I believe there were only 2 bartenders working for an event of about 100-ish people. Staff was friendly though and definitely kept the grind going. Food consisted primarily or heavy, bar style food. Pulled chicken, steak and guac, shrimp cocktail, truffle fries, taco bowl, sloppy joe sliders, brussel sprouts. We were also able to add cajun coconut curry, delivered from Wilder, and remove the bacon from the brussel sprout for two vegan options. When it comes to dietary restrictions, menu is not tailored for vegans so just something to note if booking for a group. Food was decent and was replenished throughout the event. Mechanical bull and pool were made available. Both were a huge hit, especially the bull. Definitely a very unique and fun addition to an offsite. Westwood has a large space and can quite comfortably fit over 100+ people inside.

    What a fun setup! We attended a work offsite event during our conference in San Francisco at Westwood, and it was a great kickoff to the week. The space itself is well-decorated, with multiple photo op spots: neon lights, photo booth, fun signage, etc. They had a nice good-looking lineup of cocktails, but I stuck to beer and wine offered during our event. The food was good and filling but nothing extraordinary - I would have loved to see things in heated trays to keep things warm and ready to serve! The star of the show was the mechanical bull in the back - it seemed a little slow and most folks didn't really get thrown off, but it was a funny icebreaker for our work group! Staff was attentive during the event, and I appreciated the different areas to sit and eat/chat throughout the space.

After a park day at the Presidio, we wanted to move the party and we decided on Bar Darling. It was a Saturday afternoon and it was jam packed. Luckily we were able to get some space in the alley way for us to order drinks from our server. We've been on a Friday around 5pm on another day, it wasn't as busy, so definitely a great place to start and maybe end the night. In a time where craft cocktails have gotten really expensive, Bar Darling offers craft cocktails (their signature cocktails) all for $14 each. If you know Peacekeeper, you know there's a lot of thought and imagination that goes into their drinks and it definitely shows here. My favorites were the Mama J (tequila based) and the Jaji (mezcal based). The aesthetic and vibes of this place is 10/10. Definitely great for a group of friends and/or date night!

    Wanted to love it, really did, but I found the drinks underwhelming. Given the smashing success and…read moremy love for Peacekeeper, I had high expectations for Bar Darling and they sadly weren't lived up to. Drinks had almost a "watered down" flavor to them, not sure if the bartender was just having an off night or if they got too busy to maintain standards or what happened, but it wasn't a good beverage and certainly not worth the price. Even at 7pm it was packed and could definitely tell people had been there for awhile as there were multiple 20 something year old guys and gals stumbling around, so I guess they found the drinks to their liking (or more likely had so many they really couldn't ascertain the difference). Better drinks and better crowd control and Darling will be just fine. But as I mentioned, they were already packed stem to stern at 7pm so my guess is they're doing just fine already.

The fried chicken that sat upon it was also plain. Service was the bright spot. Our server was warm, gracious, and patient with our large group. For a big dinner group where seating and service matter most, the restaurant has its advantages. But overall I wouldn't give it a recommendation.

The person who states "This is most likely the best restaurant in the world" has to be beyond sheltered; It's not even the best restaurant in the _neighborhood_. The main thing you must understand: the food is "inspired" by Indian food, but it does _not_ taste like Indian food. I suspect its been intentionally watered down to be palatable to milquetoast palettes. We ordered three small plates and the butter chicken as the main. Chicken Tikka Taco. This was greasy to the touch, with chicken and cheese. The dominate flavor is the cheddar cheese. They were trying to be creative but the ultimate effect was similar to a frozen burrito with cheddar cheese and chile verde. If you eat this, close your eyes and imagine a microwaved, frozen burrito..you'll see what I mean. Tandoori Avocado. This features an avocado that's been warmed and covered in a chili sauce. There's a green hummus and a fried dosa crisp. While it sounds wild, once the flavors are mixed together on the plate...the overall effect is that of a green-goddess salad. It's not bad, but its not mind bending. Octopus Xec Xec. The octopous was was cooked nicely and there was a tomato based sauce. Unlike something you'd find in India, it is _not_ heavy on the spices, or tang, or nuttiness. It's just very _neutral_. Butter Chicken. This was the biggest disappointment. I've never had a butter chicken curry that tasted so close to tomato soup in my life. I've eaten tons of butter chicken in my life, hundreds of Indian restaurants. I cannot imagine this was not an intentional choice...It was extremely disappointing. Also, the choice to use chicken breast was poor. Inevitably you get overcooked, chewy chicken pieces. They must have chosen this because (like Disneyland) sometimes you water things down to make it more popular with less adventurous people. The customers next to us (not Indian) kept slathering it on their rice and saying "I can't believe I didn't use to like Indian food!" -- that told me all I needed to know. BTW the naan is insanely bad. They stretched it very thin and then crisped it to the point that it breaks like a cracker. In what world is naan not pillowy and soft? Personally, I was really disappointed with this experience -- the other reviews on yelp are absolute insanity IMO. I know there's a hype train right now -- but someday people will realize this place is not it.
