BBQ & beer
West End Tavern
Why locals love it
Hotdogs and hamburgers may be iconic... but BBQ is a far and away more delicious, characteristically American style of cooking. Locals come here to perpetuate summer with great smoked meat and tasty accoutrements, washed down by craft cocktails or one of the many superb American or Belgian beers on offer.
Why you should visit it
The dishes here are gourmet renditions of classics like ribs and brisket, the beer and spirits menus well-curated and the comfortable rooftop patio affords some of the area's best views. West End also manages to strike a nice balance between neighborhood bar and refined eatery, making it a good choice for both dinner with friends or a casual date.
Special tip
On a hot afternoon, the alcoholic root-beer floats and strawberry-bourbon milkshakes are heavenly.
