This Lake Worth fave offers the only truly crafted cocktails available in the area. Their menu is the work of Executive Chef Jared Case and is as tasty as you will find in the Lake Worth scene. They have enough indoor and outdoor seating available to handle the finicky Florida weather and Live music on the weekends. Come hang with the locals and you wont regret.
I am a wedding planner, and I have done 2 weddings so far at CWS. First off, the food is AMAZING! Secondly, the staff is so friendly, and they really care about their guests. Randi, who handles the private events, is such a wonderful person to work with. She really goes above and beyond. The ambiance and décor of the place is so on point. Overall CWS just provides a great guest experience. If you are getting married or just looking to have a great event, definitely consider CWS as a venue option. Its a unique spot that will leave your guests talking for years about the neat beverages and top notch food.
Our food was burnt.the tortilla chips were burnt, everybody’s fries were burnt, my brussels sprouts were burnt and even the bun for my hamburger was black. not tasty.our service was really slow today, and we got there at 5:00 pm! it wasn’t even busy.we gathered here for my daughter’s birthday dinner and i wanted the food to be great. i should’ve just sent it all back. this is the second time here, not sure i would go back.
Had a great time here. The inside remind me of a underground lodge its pretty neat. The food and drinks were great and our server was very nice.Update 1.31.2020We had the best waiter his name is Robert and he was very accommodating and personable. we had a really great time because we had great staff everyone was attentive everyone was kind and the atmosphere there is very cozy
So my wife and I have been here several times with and without our kids for brunch and it has always been amazing. We always said we should go here for dinner. You know those times where you get caught off guard at how good the food is? This was one of those. We started with the pork belly which set the tone. It was totally disarming and transporting at the same time. The mustard sauce mashed by some magical pestle, the perfect protein to fat ratio that developed as the oil hemorrhaged out on to the dish from the chemistry and heat made just right, the saturated greens it lay on that I had no idea what they were but they needed to be there. The salmon salad with the fennel and walnuts was good but was overshadowed by the marrow burger. Id describe this burger but the words would fail to give it the proper stage. I can only say it instantly found its way to the small group of meals that sit at the top of food induced ecstasy. It truly was a masterpiece. Its nearly 24 hours later and my mouth and my mind still taste it, still feel it melting to the touch.
This is one of the places I will remember in my trip to Florida. Great vibe, good live music. I haven’t had the food but the drinks were pretty decent and the service was great. The people who visit here are also quite open so it was quite easy to just chat to some locals. They have the Italian spritz on their cocktail menu. One of my favorites.
Really nice atmosphere + great food and service. Went here for an impromptu date night, will definitely return! Bonus - happy hour prices until 7pm on a Friday too!
Great place in Lake Worth. Great vibe. The food is amazing. Their drink are good too. I had their Delicious sour and it is indeed delicious if you are not a big fan of very sweet drinks. They have live performances, not every night but every week. The people there are nice and it is great place to bring a date, or a girls night.
Constantly bad service but usually the food is good. I order the $16 Cesar wrap that I LOVE so it’s worth it. It was not good at all today and I told my waitress and her response was just that she loved it. We then had to go track her down to pay our bill. I want to love this place but it they make it really hard.
The outdoor dining area is very nice with both a covered area and uncovered and that is where anything positive stopped. Waited roughly 20 minutes for a drink order and about 15 minutes to actually have the drink order brought to the table. The server had zero interest in waiting on me. When I got my food my burger was overcooked and fries burnt. She never asked about my meal or if it was ok. The other positive note was they had a good selection of local beers. All three beers I had, i enjoyed.
As of 12/11/2020 UPDATE!!! The service was horrible on a Friday night. Several people waiting outside to be seated and after 5min we were told there was no hostess. We were seated inside and waited 10 minutes until I got up and went to the bartenders to ask do I order through them since waitresses kept walking by us. The bartender had someone come over to us, which also took several minutes. The waitress (Misty B) forgot our cokes 3 times, we also order cocktails which came. Also, she never took our dirty plates that was stacked nicely at the end of the table. She came and took our order and we waited 20minutes until she came over to take our order again because she forgot to put it in the system. She came back over the apologize and said she forgot. We ask for the check since we waited so long and she went ahead and stop at two tables to take their order before giving us the check. I ended up going up to the bartender to get my check. We were very disappointed.The food waa delicious. Sorry the photos did not come out well, it looked way better in person. We had the short rib and steak sandwhich. The smoke old fashion and whiskey sour was also delicious. We had a great server name Victoria.
Never had a bad meal here. Don’t think I ever will. Great craft cocktails, huge whiskey & tequila selection. & the staff knowledge is close to unbeatable. Short menu but everything hits the spot
My far-and-away favorite place in L-Dub Bee-Otch. Jason, Ayn and JP rock the best whiskey bar around and the kitchen crew is even better and doesn’t get enough credit. Love u guys but I do miss Ricardo and his hat collection.
They only have online menus. Wifi sucks. Waiter got my order wrong. Good place but I think their high school servers needs more training
Somewhat limited menu of Burgers, chicken sandwiches and salads. But the quality is there. Excellent fries. Nice vibe, live band Saturday night. Biggest drink selection I ever saw, if thats your thing. Im a beer guy.
Pretty original, tons of bourbon to choose from, a whole book of them. Food was really good, price was a bit steep for it but not too crazy for the area. The vibes and music was really enjoyable.
We are amateur connoisseurs of bourbon, so naturally, we sought out a bourbon bar. C.W.S. was a surprise! Indoor and outdoor eating and drinking. Two bars and love music. Super energetic servers, and a hands-on manager, who provided excellent alder ice and attention. The band kept the people entertained and after a few hours, people were dancing. The bartender is still learning about bourbon, but the manager came through and found what we were looking for in the back. He opened a new bottle and personally served Rhetoric perfectly in Glencarin glasses. We will definitely return!
Save tour time... unless you wanna puke go there... :(Never wrote a bad review on my account this deserves it by far
UPDATE March 2019:It was our second visit to CWS Bar & Kitchen. We requested the braised pork belly to share but the waitress forgot. No problem as the main entrees are large servings with wonderful fries from large Idaho potatoes golden brown. My husband enjoyed his black bean, corn veggie burger served on a nice bun with tomato slice, red onion ring and Boston green salad leaf with a avocado spread on the bottom bun. My burger is called Dry Aged Bone Marrow Burger you can choose fries or salad as a side. The burger was very tasty. These burger servings are quite large so it was not a big deal we didn’t get the appetizer to share. My husband enjoyed his dessert of Key Lime Pie. Not too sweet and somewhat tart which is a welcome. See attached photo. They have a great craft beer selection. My husband had a JDud’s Bell Cow porter with taste undertones of chocolate and coffee. It was good, not sweet or heavyYour check is displayed at your table on a handheld digital device the waitress shows you a screen of the ordered items plus the total amount and you hand her your credit card to process at your table. So far so good. Afterwards she hands back the device to you to choose tip percentage 15, 18, 20, 22% and their equivalent amount. Beware those displayed amounts includes tip on the state tax which imo is wrong. 98% of restaurants stopped doing that. Suggested tip is based on subtotal before tax. I chosed 20% tip but the actually monetary tip based on the subtotal was equivalent to 23.75%. A bit excessive considering one item was forgotten. Before you choose a suggested tip, do the math that you’re paying the subtotal and not tipping on the tax. We will dine there again.July 2018: Late Sunday July afternoon we sat outside in the shade and really enjoyed 2 dishes and split the appetizer. We started with smoked grouper dip with house made warm, fresh tostitos. The grouper was fresh and coarsely chopped, not fine as many other restaurants serve. It was outstanding. The best fish dip weve eaten in S. Florida in many years.Our burgers were Aged Bone Marrow Burger with pimento cheese and bacon. Really delicious with a little heat. See attached photo. The fries are truffle fries at extra cost.CWS has one of the best craft beer selections and probably the best whiskey menu anywhere, yes anywhere. See their selection online including rare single malts. We will visit soon again to try the multiple meat blend burger. I gave 4 stars because menu prices are very optimistic. even though the quality of food is a 5 (highest rating).
I am moving my family from Tampa to Lake Worth, FL due to how incredible this place is. Diamond in the rough! Jonas is the real MVP, this place is lucky to have a dude like him.
Absolutely terrible service. Mediocre food and overpriced cocktails. In desperate need of new management.
Just ordered 2 salads for a total of over $50 and they came with no dressing on or in them. Called restaurant 20 times in a row and the phone just beeps. Ill never go back and I will spread the word on how bad it is. When I go there the service sucks. If you dont wave a bartender or server down they will not check on you or come back to your table.
I drove 30 minutes to come to CWS because it stated on their website that they still served Brunch type food on Saturday and Sunday until 3pm. I tried to order the Avocado toast at 2:30pm and was told they are resetting the kitchen for dinner and were no longer serving food. Change your menu to 2-2:30PM then so people dont drive a half hour to find out they cant get brunch/lunch. I shouldnt have to call to confirm, especially if it says 3PM on your website menu.
Walking distance from Parrott cove neighborhood and Lake Worth Beach downtown. Friendly staff, incredible drink and foodmenu. Very hip atmosphere. Any time we have people in town who like whisky we make a point to show them this place. It’s a one of a kind experience. A restaurant l-dub is proud to have.
The atmosphere is beautiful, and the craft cocktails are divine. We had the pleasure of meeting the manager JP and our server was Anthony. Borh of tgem did an outstanding job, the manager was very aware of the resturant he runs along with ensuring customers are getting the vest experience available, our server Anthony was attentive and very knowledgeable about the drinks. Among us we all had diffrrent cocktails, their The Jam is literally the jam, infused with fig jam and strawberry. I will be back to try the food since bar hopping was the main event on the occasion. Nice job CWS we will be back!
Good food. Good drinks. Good staff. Go check out Brittany for all your craft cocktails. Shes the best around!
Wow! What a unique and interesting experience. Perfectly cozy and relaxed vibe with quirky decor. Expansive craft cocktail menu and very fresh ingredients. Jason was fantastic on the Whiskey Den bar and highly knowledgeable on all the spirits Ive never encountered. Truly a riveting experience and Ill definitely be back!
Fun atmosphere! The staff is really nice. The food was great
Last week I visited CWS and it was a great time. I made a reservation prior to going because of the size of my party. They immediately booked me a table for my requested time. Upon arrival, we were seated immediately. The service was top notch; answering all our questions and even accommodating our picky needs. The food came out in a timely matter even with the large group. The drinks were amazing, a huge lure for myself. They even sang happy birthday to my friend. The live music made it a fun and engaging atmosphere. I would highly recommend CWS.
Good place to relax around good people, great music, food, and drinks, I had so much fun💯👍
We had a great waitress, Ann. We.had fish tacos & Philly cheesesteak, which needs extra cheese The food was ok, we would definitely go back bc we loved the atmosphere & they have live music
Amazing for happy hour and food ! I will definitely come back again and again !
Fun atmosphere. Staff very friendly. The food was very good.
The main bar when there is live music or the seat with the door that opens out to the street is the best. Go here for the best drinks. Margarita, Smokey Ole Fashion and Whiskey Sour 👌 Burgers and nachos are delicious.
My first time there and its already one of my new favorite spot great service damn good food and a very laid-back environment
Best atmosphere in town. Great drinks with robust options. Menus change a lot and have good specials. I go here frequently and always enjoy.
Dont turn Uber eats on if you don’t use it. All the lake ave restaurants make this mistake. Get it together. Your restaurant is also extremely overpriced and trash so. Guess it worked out for the best.
Good food, good drinks and nice atmosphere. Live music was nice as well.
My friends and I had the best time! We went for Sunday brunch and it was wonderful! The menu had a great selection and the food was delicious! In addition, they had live music and it was fantastic to be able to sit and enjoy great food, friends, and some live music. Finally, the wait staff, they were just PHENOMENAL! Some places, the staff makes you feel like an inconvenience but the wait staff at C.W.S made you feel like they actually valued your business! Our waitress was timely and just the friendliest person! I will recommend C.W.S to all of my friends and family! Keep up the great work!
Food sucks, service horrible and drinks are baddd and I’d you see my reviews I tend to never right anything bad...
This place makes a mean drink and tasty food. Servers were great but the service is a lil slow. Not the end of the world,but be forewarned..especially on the weekends. However,outdoor seating really adds to fun ambiance
Cool place to get good food and good drinks. The inside has a great decor and atmosphere, old school wood work and fun paintings with an amazing selection of whiskys. The outside patio is perfect for cool nights or watching sports games. One of the best places to hang out in downtown Lake Worth.
The people who work there along with the food were amazing. Definitely will stop by again. next time Im in town.
First timer. Way disappointing. No server for a long time and it wasnt overly busy. Asked for 2 different IPAs from their menu and both were not available. Left with nothing but a bad taste in my mouth.
We got seated in a section with no bar tender then the hostess was a totally grumpy employee and we left... So sad because we are local and try to patronize this place all the time. They removed the individual and this place is back to being THE BEST in lake Worth
We have been for brunch and it did not disappoint - even with kids and it was yummy and fun. But, tonight we had an after dinner round of drinks. Very relaxing and cool vibe. Great music. The bartender, Jess, was delightful. Great service and a delicious Pink Drink ( I highly recommend) - order it! 🙌 great time and if you need a great brunch or after dinner hang out, this is it. Just do it.
Fake food bad service horrible atmosphere and never bring a pet there ... very disappointed!!!
One of my favorite places to eat and listen to live music.
I love out door restaurant like this, great staff and excellent service
The most unique and unacceptable coordination of a venue and absolute worst service of a venue / restaurant / bar I have ever seen. I do not recommend at all!
I shared a table with some family while on vacation. The menu had plenty of big juicy burger options that did not dissapoint. I recommend the brussels for a solid french fry alternative. Food was filling, and many of us took home some food to finish later. Really cool mountain-west saloon atmosphere. I ordered their signature Old fashioned which looked better than tasted. It drank very light and fruity, and was just not boozey enough for my pallet. They look to have some really interesting bourbon options behind the bar. If time permits, Ill be back to sample a few bourbons without the entire family in tow.
Looks nice from the outside but after giving it too many second chances, I will not be back. Drinks are overpriced, bartenders are very immature and unprofessional, and only seem to care about the the tips theyre expecting instead of the service theyre providing.
My fiancé and I on our engagement night celebrated that night here at C.W.S. JP and Anthony made our night so amazing that I’ll remember it for life.
Love this place! Very relaxing atmosphere and great good.
Very cool place, love the patio and whiskey selection!
Great atmosphere, chicken and waffles was tasty, staff were friendly and very accommodating
Great place. Bartender was awesome. Love the atmosphere.
Great time. Music, food drinks,staff...
Excellent whiskey selection and scratch kitchen is amazing.
I often take my friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. This recommendation is always successful. The the food there is fantastic and the team is generous and cooperative. Every time we visit this place we enjoy a splendid evening. highly recommended.
Visited This Seemingly Hip Goof EatdSpot. HIGHLY Disappointed...Suffice to SayI Was Chewing on DRY Meat & EventuallyHad To Put Remaind in A Napkin...DontDo It If Youre TRULY Seeking A DiningExperience As The Menu Suggests...!😏
Great music. Friendly bartenders.
Super cool looking inside, super good cocktails. But slow service, very loud, and the food was all burnt and/or not good.
First time at this place and it wont be my last. service and the food were outstanding, ambiance is awesome...🤗
Pleasantly surprised. Ive read the good reviews and was curious as to whether downtown Lake Worth really has that good of a place.The live music was great but a little loud. The environment was fun. Suggestion is to try the Korean Wings. They are seriously delicious. Fries are great too. Definitely worth a try and will be back
Dog friendly patio, good food, lively bar
A little pricey, but the atmosphere is awesome, live music, bartenders full of energy and very knowledgeable. Food is phenomenal!
Great craft cocktails, amazing food & atmosphere. Stellar service!
Great burger and great trivia show on wed
Terrible experience! They were very rude to our children.
Great place, inside bar is my favorite, because of the unique look. They have more whiskey options than I could ever think of. Great craft cocktails. My boy ricky slays it there, dapper as ever. JP slangs dranks like it aint no thang. The rest are all dope as well. Foods great too. If you havent check this place out, youre missing out on life.
We actually did not go in but after a short convo with the very friendly host staff we will be returning. There is a variety on the menu to suit most dietary specialties. There is some sort of entertainment nightly, it has a modern rustic decor well lit and there is outside seating. Definitely seems to be a hidden gem of Lake Worth.
