W XYZ Bar

It was my first time in the WXYZ Bar Lounge. The lounge is open and welcoming. The customer service was excellent and attentive. The wine, beer, and appetizer were great. I notice that there are not too many gluten free choices. I will definally returned and I recommended it.

First time grabbing food from here. Made it just before the kitchen was closed. Ordered nachos to go. It was so much meat! The Korean bbq was delicious.

Mediocre hotel bar. Don't let the Yelp fool you. Went here to have a little date night (knew it would be a little low key) but the Yelp pictures do not match the aesthetic at all. The drinks were awful and my wings came out half frozen.

Wanted to get out for a drink.
So this was nearby. Ordered a bottle of wine and some fires.
Wine was $42 but it was so bad. I bet you get this wine for like $10 outside.
The fries were also half burnt( if you can check in pictures)
I wanted to complaint about the fries but the server was not there.
Only reason to rate 2 is free parking and no rush even at peak times.
But you def don't get the restaurant experience here. It clearly is an eatery inside a hotel. So know this before going.

I would not go again. Too expensive and def not worth it.

When your by the airport make sure to stop by ALoft hotel. My first time having drinks here and I am glad we stopped by. Good vibes and friendly faces. Food too was delicious . The drink is called Viva!

We wanted a place to chill for a bit before the flight, and were not looking for a sports bar or chain. The bar is in the hotel lobby, bit it is actually pretty cool. There is a free pool tables, games scattered about, TVs with the games and food available. The drinks and food were OK, and fairly priced, so I count the stop a success.

It's the Aloft lobby bar. Surprisingly it's quite well-priced with decent menu items for both food and drinks. The vibe is cool and consists of the bar as well as a bunch of tables and loungy areas. It's very conducive to just hanging out. If you're staying at the hotel, it's probably worth checking out.

Some nights there is live music and a DJ but I didn't get this experience.

Good drinks, nice bartender and ok TVs. Those are the good things.

The bad things are,
#1 A DJ at a business hotel bar! Stop trying to be so cool. Instead of meeting out of town colleagues for a quick meet up at their hotel, we are forced to meet elsewhere even though we were short on time.
#2 Decor, Its a hotel near SFO, stop trying to be a dance club
#3 Food, bad, even for hotel food, just bad.
It's like the bar version of a guy with no money, who is pretending to be rich, by using flashy gold jewelry and a car lease that he can't afford. Zero authenticity but trying so hard to be hip.

This bar is in the lobby and has a wide variety of bourbons, impressive actually. I had the model to go along with my carnitas which were surprisingly very tasty. Atmosphere is your typical hotel bar scene.

After an event next door at the Westin SFO, we walked across the street the w xyz bar inside the hotel Aloft. It was only 11 p.m. or so but it was last call for my husband and me. One more drink for us, and if we were lucky, a little bite to eat.

Totally got lucky! We walked in and the fun reception area led to a large, open room with lots of seating, a pool table, and a bar with pulsing lights on its surface. The bartender didn't take long to notice us and brought some menus and water (at our request). He wasn't really paying attention to us and missed the beer that I ordered with the waters. We finally got his attention again but he was never really that attentive.

I ordered a $9 Caesar salad (by coincidence, my second Caesar of the day), and husband reluctantly ordered the $10 cheese plate. The last time we ordered a cheese plate was at a beer place in Walnut Creek and we would have preferred the pre-packaged single-sliced American to what we received there. However, this plate came out with a variety of delicious cheeses, both hard and soft. It had a couple types of crackers and a handful of red grapes. Definitely better than what we were expecting.

My salad was also good, minus the boxed garlic croutons on top. Croutons are so easy to make and last a couple days.... I just don't understand why any business wouldn't take the 10 minutes to season and bake up their leftover bread. Also, I asked for hot sauce and I was given three packets rather than a bottle. Even though it's a pretty small amount of waste, I feel this is really wasteful. Why put all those tiny packages into a landfill, rather than just buying a Costco sized glass bottle that can be recycled? (Okay, this granola-hugger will stop there, but... seriously?!)

Overall, we were really glad they served food late into the night. We finished our plates and my drink and headed back to the Westin for bed. A friendlier bartender could have talked us in to another round, but it was probably for the best that ours was too busy with the group at the other side of the bar.

Looks like a congenial spot for those on assignment -- part of the aLoft chain. Also convenient for meeting up when friends say they have layover at SFO. Bar food, good well drinks. Live entertainment. Tonight a harpist covering rock tunes.
