The Westgate Bourbon Taphouse

I really want to love this place to visit my second time. It was really busy as expected, it is one of the beautiful and fascinating restaurants of Beaverton. The cocktails were great. The menu is delicious and sounds delicious. The food always lacks shine, almost there, but the description is better than it tastes. The bar service was fast during waiting (although they needed us to close before we got tired of what I think is sticky, but I get it as the bartender you want your tips! . The table service left something to be desired. Fries was cold, she wanted to fire a new page. I didn't come back until we were basically finished and then realized that the Pommes never came. A table touch is always needed shortly after dinner to make sure everyone has everything he needs. I'd like to have salt and pepper, but with my food when the server came back. A good place for cocktails and maybe some bar snacks because the atmosphere is great.

I was the first customer on the 23. September 2022. It was a busy Friday night at 7:00. Long line to get a table. (for 2) Long line at the bar (see above). But the revised bartender was freendly and makes a big Cadillac Margarita! Long wait for simple burgerries as soon as we sit. The hamburger was cooked to order (same) and was delicious. I swore it. Unfortunately, the French fries were served cold. On each table was literally a 2 ring notebook full of cocktails, a large wine list and many beer selections. That makes a nice reader while waiting.

Super tasty drinks and food! Everything we tried was way above average. Shared a Swedish Chef salad and a Rick Reuben sandwich. I drank a virgin mojito that was splendid and my husband had a drink called Millionaire that was stellar.

So many options for drinks. I had fish and chips for dinner and not impressed but the Brown Butter Cake with Carmel and blueberries wast yummy. I don't drink bourbon but had a very nice French 75 made with purple Empress gin and champagne. It had a light gin flavor and was very lemony. Especially nice for such a hot day. I really enjoyed it. My server Kristin was friendly and helpful.

Overall a good experience and I would go back. Drinks were on point, my chicken sandwich was delicious, the cheese curds were crispy and gooey, and dang those Brussel sprouts! A tad pricey but not enough to make me stay away.
