Websters Bar reviews
5 Star Review by James Grant
Fantastic bar. Always been here for the beer and they have had taps that you can't get anywhere else, period. Honestly some of the better beers I've had, and their general taplist is some of the best in the area. Whisky is premium and fancy. Very, very nice venue.
5 Star Review by Philip Rome
Awesome hidden roof top garden and live deejay spinning OG 7 inch discs. The Apple martini tasty and healthy too boot. Good grill based meals on the middle floor but try to avoid the crowds Id just dining. This place is a big frog going off in a big sock. Awesome.

Webster is a nice cozy place for good foods, drinks and good time! The price is reasonable and the staffs are friendly. The vibe there is just perfect!!
4 Star Review by Jenny
Three levels of bar space so you can definitely find a spot in here. The different levels have different vibes. I didnt really check out the ground floor but the second level had indoor seating, somewhat like a casual hotel or restaurant sort of seating arrangement. It was dimly lit and gave the winter by the fireplace sort of vibe. The upper level was more bustly, with outdoor seating and a nice view, however you couldnt really get a seat because most were reserved. Nice place to get a quick drink and maybe dance a little (on the bottom and top floors). Good for sitting down and having a chat, on the middle floor. Probably not really my sort of place, but I can appreciate that it would be a nice place to come on a night out.

Great atmosphere throughout, rooftop bar was a memorable experience with lots of character. Food specials from $15 and we had a very tasty Angus beef burger.

Wow. I just had the best Texas BBQ I've had in a long time and I didn't even know these guys did BBQ (caveat is it's Friday to Sunday only). I had the BBQ corn ribs, beef brisket, slow cooked lamb, buffalo wings, mac cheese and potatoes and gravy. They aren't just banging out pub meals, you can tell they take their food seriously from the high quality ingredients to the balance of flavours in every dish was on point . One of the best things about this place is you can get the meats in a platter or by the slice and even the chicken wings come in 3/6/12 packs so if youre like me and like a little bit of everything give this place a try. They also have a really nice rooftop which just adds to the experience.
