Westwood Bbq - San Francisco

The lively western-themed bar with a mechanical bull is a blast. Tried bull riding for the first time and had a good time. Great vibe with country music playing. A unique and memorable spot for a fun night out!

Overhyped but a fun place to end up on a late evening out. Lines are now insane, even at 1 am, and their clientele is getting rowdier and ruder. Would avoid unless absolutely necessary to party in this part of town.

Had some good country music on for ambiance. Very attentive wait staff, good beer and the Mac and cheese with ribs was fabulousParking: The Lombard lot is right across the street and not too pricey

A retreat into a world where denim meets diamonds, where the mechanical bull's roar harmonizes with the melodies of the stage, and where the vibrant spirit of country music weaves its magic into the heart of the city.

The staff and owner of the bar were extremely rude. I have never encountered this type of behavior in California. They seated us and we spent thousands of dollars in an hour and a half. Suddenly, the security guard approached us and informed us that we had to order a bottle or leave within 2 minutes. We were not made aware of this policy when we were seated, and the way we were spoken to was extremely disrespectful. When we tried to understand the situation, the guard refused to speak to us and instead yelled at us. The owner then joined in and treated us in a rude, humiliating, and insulting manner because we did not comply without fully understanding the situation. It was a truly horrible experience that I could not believe I had to endure.
