West 50 Pour House in Mississauga Review + Pics!

[romeschica]

I've been on chowhound for a long time but finally got to post up a review! Hope this is helpful:)

Couple of weeks ago, my husband and I were going to Square One to do some shopping. I really didn't want to eat at the restos there (I used to work across from Square One so grabbing a bite there was the quickest option!). Instead, a coworker from my prev job recommended West 50 Pourhouse, also near Square One.

I'm going to be honest, I was a bit skeptical going in, as I usually am with a chain/group of restaurants. I couldn't find much reviews/pics online but I liked the fact they had an extensive drinks menu and boasted a lot of beers on draft (although some reviews online did suggest that not all of them would be available all days).

We went in for a very late lunch, I think it was almost 2 p.m. so I wasn't expecting the place to be packed. There were a few groups of people dining.

We ordered a few drinks and went straight to the main. I had their bacon wrapped filet mignon and my husband had the jambalaya.

Both were REALLY good! My steak was moist and flavourful and a good variety of textures on the plate. My husband quite enjoyed his jamabalaya. His dish was served piping hot. The only feedback was mine could have been even hotter.

I really wanted to make room for dessert but I was stuffed, plus in a few hours we were heading to the Wine and Cheese show in Mississauga so we left it there. If we're in this end of town, we hope to be back!

The food is good but I've generally found the portions on the small side considering the price

The best part about the place is the beer list, boasting over 50 kinds. although they always seem to be out of Denison's every time I ask!

Used to be alot better when they showed the UFC, which they've since cheaped out of.. don't bother going at night anymore unless you want to hang out in a crowded sweaty bar with 19 year olds listening to an obnoxious DJ playing rap music all night.. Very loud and cheesy atmosphere at night. You'd never believe it by looking at the pics in the OP's review but it's all teenagers there by evening

yes - that's what I read from the reviews online too so we stayed away from going friday night!!

Great pics, thanks for the review. I have only been there for drinks/dancing before but sounds like the food is pretty good, and the pics do look tasty
