Quality product & friendly service

Our Story
About us
Our illustrious owner, Westley Isbutt, is a developer, commercial photographer, and lover of fine whiskeys. His partner and spouse, Debra Heiser, is a brand designer and lover of all things tennis. The pair moved to Longmont from fabulous Las Vegas, NV and once adapted to the streets rolling up at 8 pm, decided to open the West Side Tavern, where the welcome rug only rolls up at 9 pm on weekdays and 10 pm weekends.
libations
After professionally researching into “The Noble Experiment” and tireless exploration, tasting and even more tasting… just for you, dear patrons, West Side mollycoddles you with a list of libations and elixirs for your indulgence, delectation and delight.
