West End Bar — Restaurant in Fayetteville

Edit: response to the owner:

I went to see a show, and immediately noticed there was a volunteer working the door. Rough, but no big deal, used to that at Nomads despite it not being the norm elsewhere. We then went to get margaritas - we were going to buy regulars but the bartender convinced us it'd be cheaper to buy buckets if we were going to get more than one, because they were 3$ refills. So, we get buckets. When we go to fill them up, it's $7 for a refill. We begrudgingly pay, then go up for another, and they charged $11 for the refill because it was "after 10" It was also supposedly $4 wells, but after looking at my receipt, I was charged full price for 2/3 wells I bought. Around that time they stopped charging at the door, despite the bands not being finished for another hour. Come to find out they won't charge a cover after 10, and so won't pay the band for anyone who comes to drink and listen after 10. I didn't play, but as a musician, I prefer to see musicians paid for their contribution to the...

They stay open til 2 AM. At 1:30, a bouncer told me I needed to leave because they were closed. I told him I was waiting on my girlfriend in the restroom, and he told me that if I didn’t leave right then he would “put hands on me”. My girlfriend left the restroom and we walked out. As we were walking down the stairs another bouncer was walking down holding a customer by the shirt and punching him in the face. Several people, including young women, were tripped and pushed down the stairs in the process. We filed a police report shortly after.

I have never experienced anything like this at a bar. Bouncers have no authority to harass, threaten, or physically assault you.

Avoid this place...

Excellent food! My family was looking for a last minute dinner at midnight. The ability to have healthy food choices at this time of night is a game changer.

I enjoyed the pool party! The chacho and spinach sauces make the dish. It brings a nice smokey flavor. The fruit dish was fresh. The prices are on the high end, however, they use a lot of green items (from what I’ve seen in my DoorDash order) which would increase the price. Just expect to pay a little more, this isn’t your typical breakfast joint.

Overall, great place to try with a variety of options! I look forward to...
