The Phantom Barfly™ visited the West Street Grill recently and was reminded of a woman I once dated that had the appearance of a truly great catch: she was reasonably attractive(within my league), good ass to breasts ratio, of good pedigree, athletic-trim build, a thanks dad education, geographically well positioned (a shared apt. within the same area code and w/a hot roommate), she even feigned liking my dry and sarcastic sense of humor (she blankly nodded and smiled at the correct times-generally), but easily her best feature was her perfectly defined-apple shaped, full, ripe and of epic proportions, dynamic ass (yes, a truly jaw dropping behind). That fine form of flesh is permanently etched in my mind!
But, unfortunately we had little in common and this relationship was very short lived. Figuratively, the book cover looked awesome but upon some further reading the book didn’t captivate this reader’s attention. But, one final departing glimpse was definitely in order.

The West Street Tavern is a very handsome, quasi-Irish tavern in “the Lake” neighborhood of Newton. The WST has many of the features of a good drinking spot, they do most things well and as much as I really wanted to like the WST, in the end, it doesn’t have anything that sets itself apart from drinking mediocrity and nothing said pour me another, another and another… and I’m not looking back.

Location - In the village of Nonantum in Newton and within walking distance of Tommy Doyle’s (mini pub crawl?)with a public back door (a Barfly+) and some parking

Ambience – Comfortable, handsome, quasi-Irish wannabe pub that is a bit too sterile and of formulaic design for this Barfly

Beer & Wine Selection – 10 beers on draught and 18 in bottles but a very vanilla, mainstream selection and the same applies to the wine list

Drink Specials & Specialties – ho-hum and no bar cheapie$

Booze Selection – All the bar standards and nothing more

Prices – drafties $3.50-$5.50, wines $6-8 but no bar special$

Service – Attentive & friendly bar service!

Cleanliness – Clean, clean and antiseptic too a fault

Bar Extras – 4 flat screen TV’s, live music on Saturday pm’s

Bar Scene – A nice mix of ages, neighborhood folks sprinkled with some suits-conversing and watching sports

PHANTOM BARFLY rated – Phantom Barfly Approved
