      Had my first experience here at a SynerG on Tap event, so it's probably not the most reflective of reality, however, the things I did notice are promising.
      Jello Shots? Yes, Jello shots
      Quality beers on Tap? Yep
      Video games and pool? Of course
      Awesome bartenders? Uh...duh.
      I need to go back.

      Westerwood has held a place in my heart for about 13 years. This homey dive always feels like a welcoming spot. While I no longer live in the area, so you couldn't call me a regular anymore, I still love Westerwood.

      Here you can find friendly bartenders who feel like friends. A variety of draft beers, affordable liquor pricing, and a cooler of cans & bottles. It's very likely you'll be able to find something that hit the drink itch you might have.

      Over the years it's gotten brighter and cleaner inside but it's still that perfect homey drive. If you're in GSO looking for a bar to call home, don't skip over Westerwood.

      Currently (Sept 3rd 2023): Tuesday (9 pm - 12 am) and Friday (11 pm - 2 am) is Karaoke

      Wednesday (10 pm to 12 am) is trivia

      Thursday $4 any shot and free pool



      P.S. Dogs are welcome inside and out.

      Westerwood is always doggo friendly.

      Not bad for a dive bar at all. Cool bartender. Focused more on a young crowd. Outside seating.

      Based on the reviews, my Husband & I dropped into this "Dive" Bar, and had a great time. Everyone was welcoming. As one guy at the Bar said "everyone is welcome here! We don't judge" Great drink specials, very diverse crowd ~Enjoy!

      Dive bars have a tendency to look intimidating to me when I first walk in and ruin my perception of the establishment, but this is not and was never the case at Westerwood. I haven't been to a bar with a more welcoming atmosphere. By your 3rd or 4th time here, the bartenders start to recognize you and call you by name. I've never seen anyone get into a negative confrontation here, which is saying a lot because sometimes at dive bars you get those pretty often.

      They run daily specials, like everything is a dollar off on Wednesdays, karaoke on Friday nights, there's a $3 shot day (what day of the week it is is escaping my mind right now), and they have a moderately expansive draft selection. But let's face it, no one goes to a dive bar for draft beer.

      An all-around great establishment, and I can't wait to come back once everything opens back up #IMissWesterwood

      The best dive bar in Greensboro. It's nothing fancy but they have the nicest staff ever and I always feel welcome there. The prices are fair and the patio is a great place to sit at night. Go for karaoke night - you won't regret it!

      This "Dive" bar was magical. I met a few co-workers and be bonded over Red Stripe, jello shots, and shots of gin, tequila, and vodka. For the amount of alcohol we consumed, our tabs were all below $20. Jackpot! This little hidden gem off the pathway in a neighborhood is where it's at. Small intimate setting. A pool table, dart board, and I think I saw a old school arcade machine. This place is truly a "dive bar". Great memories!

      It's hard to low star a dive bar. It's kind of its own niche and should only get a 5 star if it's truly a dive.

      This is a true dive bar, nestled in a neighborhood next to homes/business/etc.

      Tip: Don't park in the parking lot, as I'm guess that people are getting towed often.

      Drinks are cheap, people are from all walks of life and you will literally see any particular type of person in there. I'm the year round, shorts, flip flops client.

      Everyone I've met there, has been very welcoming and it feels like a family after only a few trips.

      Keep being Divey Westerwood... it's what your good at!

      Westerwood is my favorite bar I've been to in Greensboro. I visited it the last two times I was in the city thanks to finding it on Yelp.

      One thing you have to say off the bat is it is out of the way. This isn't a bar that can easily be a stop while bar hopping unfortunately, thanks to its rather remote location.

      However, it is a very laid-back bar that is full of character. It has a nice small selection of taps of good craft beer, and a wide selection of bottles that is extremely well curated. Was very impressed by the selection of beers they had. It has a indoor area with some tables and bar games and a nice outdoor patio area to hang.

      It had a hipster type crowd, but very eclectic mix of people and very friendly. I ended up in conversations with other customers both times I've been.

      I'm glad I found this place and will continue to support it when I am in Greensboro. A very good dive bar.
