West Towne Pub

Awesome, went there for a football game, plenty of tvs, good food, didn‘t have to wait very long even though it was packed.

Came in for a weekend not too long ago Loved the Bar. Fantastic service good looking waitresses, although I had to take my family out of the bar because there was a drunken beligerant foul languaged and rude large bald guy complaining about how his beer was warm and how there was no footrail on the bar. He finally got up left in a huff and peeled out of the parking lot in his old car. Definately would recommend this restaurant to anyone! Quality service and the owners are a blast!

This is a really great place to go for a few drinks, appetizers, or dinner with friends. The menu is very unique and delicious. The manager is very personable and entertaining.

Only there once, played juke box and within 5 minutes the dickhead owner came over with a sing that he put on the box saying "DO NOT PLAY". He didn‘t offer a refund and turned the music off. Just playing some classic rock n roll, not head bangin rap or worse. Steel roof and concrete floor = mega-distorted sound!

I don‘t know how you could ruin a BLT sandwich but I just had the worst one I‘ve ever had. It was made on plain old white bread and had 1 small slice of tomato on each half and then grilled! Warm tomato, limp lettuce, and undercooked bacon. The steamed vegetables were apparently frozen not fresh and not good at all. This measley meal cost $7.27. What a rip off!

The rib rolls are fantastic and we always get great service! Mom and Dad love to go there for the buffalo fries.

Poor place to have live music. what do you want to be known for? bands cost alot of cash....... lets get somemore room to fill the place......blues bands....excellent

bartenders are great but the bar lacks any personality. Just some beer signs hung up with a concrete floor. The food was outta the box into the fryer. Nothing worth talking about. Could you turn up the music a little louder to. Oh and the lights. Nothing better than being blinded and deafened at the same time.

Fun and inviting interior. Bartenders were nice, but server was mediocre at best. The server did not check up on us once and didn‘t even ask if the meal was alright. When she dropped the check and ran back behind the bar to socialize our opinions were set. Food was sub-par and served in a basket for some "fun" reason. The whole experience left us wondering why you would go there for dinner. Drinks sure, but a nice meal with good service NO!

I love this place! My friends and I always have a great time here. The rib rolls are fabulous and the bartenders are great. They always know what we all want when they see us coming. Most of the wait staff are friendly and helpful too. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes to go out and have fun and isn‘t worried about nit-picking everything that is wrong with every place they go.

Bad experience...we waited over 10 minutes before the waitress even came to ask us what we wanted to drink.

This place is finally going out of business.

Probably one of the worst dinning experiences I have ever witnessed.
This is not a family oriented business

Went for dinner last night with the family. The rib rolls are amazing! Everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was excellent! We‘ll definitely be back!

I‘ve been here a few times. My mom and I loved the sandwiches (French Dip and a pineapple chicken sandwich). I really enjoy their fries (thicker cut and with seasoning), however, my boyfriend doesn‘t care for them. I also recommend the Skippy burger. My boyfriend wasn‘t too impressed-he felt it was just ok. The service was excellent and I will go back!

Good food, great waitresses...always plenty of seating with good games on TV. Pool tables and other entertainment in back, I always have a good time.

Solid menu, good beers on tap, and a decent wait staff... I‘m not sure about the negative experiences listed on this website, but out of 7 visits, I‘d had nothing but good visits.

This place sucks. Get new bartenders. Then maybe i‘ll come back.

Went to the bar to have a drink and the bartend was to busy flirting with the guys to wait on me. I never have had a good experince there. Maybe you should fire all the trashy bartenders then you mite get more costomers.

My wife and I tried this place last night. The service was awful and the food was even worse. How does a place like this stay open?

this people should not be allowed to operate a restaurant.

Wait staff is slow as molasses. Food was decent, the hot wings are fried in peanut oil for a yummy flavor. Basically caters to the west ames college crowd. I think this place could be decent. But the service, including the bartenders but especially the wait staff, are very, very slow. If they fixed that it would be a pretty good place for bar food and drinks.

Probably the worst place to eat in Ames.

We have always recieved great service and great food. One of the first places in town I recommend to friends.

while waiting for a table, my husband and I decided to sit at the bar, obviously for a drink, not to listen to the bartender talk about the party she went to last night
food wasn‘t that great, our server was good, but felt bad for her, very disorganized atmosphere

Went down on a Thursday night for karaoke. Got there at 9 ordered some food. Food was ok but would not go there to eat again. Karaoke had good sound, very little song list and choice of songs to sing, and rotation of singers was aweful. Had to wait 2 hours to sing 2 songs after watching other singers get up more then once in that time. Ordered some drinks at the bar and was charged $10.00 for drinks that were to cost $9.00. Half the time the bar tender was not behind the bar.

I will not take my business back to West Town Pub.

If this is a family sports bar, then Des Moines is going to get the next NFL expansion franchise. Why go here when Old Chicago, Wallaby‘s, and Es Tas are in Town?

Good food....good service..great adult beverages.. We just got back to Chicago after a trip to Ames...lots of good places here in Chicago. But the West Towne Pub ranks right up there with many of them...Enjoy!

Took our guests to the Pub last night.The food was excellent,the waitress was even better...very friendly,very helpful..had some super seinor citizens with us and they thought the Pub was the best place they had been to that also had many younger patrons....they enjoyed all the TV‘s and really enjoyed watching the Cubs game as they ate..If it had a place for six stars,I‘d rate it six.

My wife and I travel all over the country and we haven‘t found a place that is more friendly,or has any better food.. We have ordered most things off of the menu and can recommend everything....never a bad meal. The people that work there are the best in the midwest..no kidding. That is why when ever we are in the area the West Towne Pub is our favorite..

Went in last Saturday night. The bar area was packed so we sat at a table. After 20 minutes of waitresses walking by our table and ignoring us, we flagged one down. She took our drink orders, and came back 10 minutes later informing us to take our orders to the bar. Apparently they stop waiting on tables after taking orders. Don‘t think I can go back after that awful service. I understand it was around midnight, but tell us straight from the start. Don‘t tell me you don‘t do orders after you‘ve taken my order.

Bit too much smoke for the kids, not a great family friendly spot.

Some nice menu items. Rib rolls are very good. Hamburger was good. Place looks very nice. Fine service. Overall, very enjoyable, perfect for a bar and grill.

the menu is HUGE and the fries are AWESOME!!
They have so many appetizers it‘s hard to choose.
I love it that they added the dinner entrees to the menu too.

We had dinner last night and my steak was AWESOME! The service was fast and very friendly!

Nothing like watching the staff get questioned by the police for serving a minor while you are eating

bar area too small, very cramped and smoky.
