    Willows in Westin is a sports themed bristo bar. The ambience very appealing and worth visiting with your gang. This being in 5 start property, the prices are pretty high but there are offers on nearbuy for this place and they do accept zomato gold. Check with restaurant for the happy hours too. We were here in group of two during off peak hour for a quick meet. The experience was awesome due to the collection of liquor they got and their prompt service.

    Willows at Westin was a great Saturday night out. After shopping for a bit at Phoenix, we headed there for some food and drinks. The ambience is great and service is friendly. We ordered sliders with sweet potato, spring rolls and the gardenia pizza along with some non veg short eats. The sliders tasted great with a satisfying crunch and subtle dressing. The spring rolls are crisp with a tangy sauce side. The pizza was well made with oodles of cheese that was fresh and a crisp base baked to perfection. The music selection was great with a throwback to 2000s pop and hip hop. It’s a great place to hang out if you’re looking for something more mellow than the pubs.

    The ambience isn't good - It's kinda depressing as the whole place is a bit too dark. I love the cricket theme tho. Their door handles are the coolest I've seen - Actual bats as handles The place is used by students a lot and is a fun crowd.

    Had a great evening at Willows... Safety measures taken and hygienic. Most importantly Mr. Anand threw his magic of being a great mixologist and created a nice Watermelon Martini.. The best part was that he showed me how to make Kamikaze shots and it was a wonderful first time experience.. Would love to go back again.

    Good place. Great ambience for a sports bar with the cricket theme. Wide selection of drinks. Kitchen is open fairly late into the night which is a welcome sign. Nice service. Even had happy hours going for a Friday night. A rad bit overpriced though.

    I popped by this place one weekday for a late beer and was pleasantly surprised at how chilled out the place was. I had a long day and their upbeat attitudes were most welcome. It's a spacious sports bar with a focus on cricket, a great place to relax and watch some matches with screens everywhere. The hotel complex houses other cafes and restaurants that are equally nice to hang out at. I got a cricket ball as a souvenir and that was very cool. Until next time, cheers.

    Money paid in UPI and got cheated. I paid 1000 and Anand Armugam "bar manager" told money not recieved without checking and he cheated like that, many people. Like 2500 for my friend. And a lot. Anand Armugam cheated me 1000 rupees. This is really cheating happening here. They cheat customers And many UPI cheating happening. This is Scam place

    Amazing ambience to have a drink with your friends. The place is populated by IITM students post 11 pm. Sometimes the music can get too loud to have a chat. The pricing is of course pretty costly, but if you come during the happy hours, it's a fun place to have a party.

    A cricket themed bar, which gets lively over weekends. The ambiance was good and even borders on being ecelectic. There is plenty of space in there. The mixologist there is pretty good and he mixed the drinks just the way I liked. The bar is very well stocked, ranging from regular brands to uber premium ones. Uber premium ones are obviously super expensive. The interior is decorated with cricket themed stuff like the kokubura cricket balls and the cricket caps bearing the names of different cricket teams. Recommended.

    Recently visited, wastage of time and money both. Food quality was very bad . Ordered tandoori chicken and it was stale. After that exchanged the tandoori chicken with a chicken pizza but got the same smell from the pizza as well . Also Servicing took alot of time . Very bad experience disappointed

    Worst experience. They will restrain you, if you are in casuals or shorts and wearing slipper. You have to be wearing a pant and shoe to get the access into the bar. The name is willow bar but they are running as a night club and having the rules of night clubs. They don't convey this information politely. They have bouncers in the willow bar entry and he will treat with you arrogance and deny access if you are wearing a shorts. Marriot should give a proper training to their staffs on treating their guests. These people treat you like a tresspasser if you don't have the proper dres Pathetic. Guys, never go here. They are confused if it is a night club or bar. I have been here many times. All the time entered with shorts. This time they restrained me. Will never visit again. Whereas if you are staying with them you are allowed with the shorts. I dont know the logic for this. If you want a bar not a night club, try trident's arcot bar in gst road.

    My previous trip to the Willows Westin was really disappointing. We could see cockroaches scurrying about the table even in the low lighting. Arpan, the manager, is extremely nasty and sensitive; I wonder how he manages to work in the customer service industry. Seems like he has some psychological issues against happy customers and we seriously recommend a visit to a therapist. That Marriott allows for these kinds of standards really disappoints me. Westin would be a happy place with a better service oriented manager! Additionally, they charge extra; the identical pitcher of beer that originally cost Rs. 2000 was charged Rs. 2100 instead.

  • 4/5 Mukund V. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed the ambiance. Terrible music and average platters. But the best Bloody Mary I've had. Served in a monstrous barrel glass,the mix of vodka, Tomato juice and hot sauce was perfect. All the flavors came through without any one overpowering the others. Will go back for this anytime.

    Absolute shocker to to see that the manager anupam is so rude to the guests. He is sitting at the bar playing at the phone but there is no response to the guests sitting at the table. There was no last call given to the us for the drinks and wiile we were eating they told us to leave. Absolute pathetic. Standard have really gone down.

  • 5/5 Rohit C. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place to hangout with friends... ambiance is awesome...simply loved it.must visit the place at least once if u want to try something different.

  • 1/5 Rithik Gudavalli c. 10 months ago on Google
    Initially this was a good place,but lately the management has gone to dogs. Staff are not any good at receiving people too rude. There was a panic situation in lift as it was stuck and there was no response for 15minutes with no fan in the lift. TRAUMATIC when the lift was opened and people came out the staff started pulling collar and throwing people(students of IITMADRAS) out for recording that particular instance.

  • 1/5 Shreeram S. 7 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    I had the misfortune of going into willows for a short late night meeting with a friend. It was pure disappointment in all aspects as there were tiny cockroaches on the table we were sitting on and had to be moved. The time to serve Anything took 30+ minutes even though the place was empty and they were well staffed. The menu was just there as prop as the bar lacked most things we wanted. The food was average despite the long wait and the limited late night menu. I would strongly recommend not going here. Lackluster, unhygienic and an overall bad experience. Sad to see a mariott bonvoy member lack the most basic quality/service.

    Cricket themed lounge. Food is awesome. Ambience is good. Bit costlier. Best for the Corporate dinner with drinks party

  • 2/5 Anu S. 4 years ago on Google
    We had a corporate community meeting here....where we had really very bad experience both the service and the food.we doesn't expect this from Westin..they themself spoiled the goodwill.and have to say about the in-house DJ... where the selected the song of their own choice especially only in Hindi. ....people base on Tamil and other languages were keep on insisted to play their wishlist...but he refused that he can play and even can't connect from any of our phone.......hotels must inform these this before only...since people usually come there to enjoy and to have fun..... instead u people made us to think....why we need to this much and need to adjust with these things......... Come on guys at least for the upcoming events or any occasions.....kindly provide a quality of food and service.. And I have to mention the starters which are really really awesome .....only that worth for what we paid.

  • 1/5 Hari n. 4 years ago on Google
    Bar was good but they had asked us to review in Trip adviser about the service and would giveaway a cricket ball (that's displayed on their bar area) . We did that and we got the cricked ball. Upon checking out and while we wait for our cab in the lobby area, the security had come up and took the cricket ball from us. Upon saying that it's a gift, he denied and he called the willows bar and they said they did not give any such. We gave the gift and we took off. Upon calling the willows bar from Zomato, Mr anand did not respond properly and he cut the call. Though the service was good inside, this gifting entirely ruined our day. Never going in again.
