Westlawn Inn - The Quintessential Experience Fine Dining, Drink, & Music in North Beach MD

The Westlawn Inn is a family owned and operated restaurant, bar and live music venue located just one block from the Chesapeake Bay in the charming resort town of North Beach, Maryland. Opened in 2004 in a renovated Arts & Crafts style building that had been a guesthouse for nearly a century, the Westlawn has the look and feel of an old-time inn — where the outside world stops and dining becomes a nightly experience to cherish.

These spots were designated as specifically for our business.) The lot behind the restaurant is only available for our employees and guests at our Guest Quarters.

Additional parking is available adjacent to the Westlawn lot in the North Beach Municipal lot (also on the east side of Chesapeake Ave). This lot is free to the public at all times.

What our patrons are saying …

Dining on the porch on a beautiful spring, summer or fall evening is a special bonus to the lovely seasonal cuisine. An experience not to be missed.

Ron G.

A special combination of food, music, community and genuine pleasure in the company of others. Rare and treasured … keep on truckin’!

Ken S.

We love the Westlawn Inn. Lee, Jan and Will are phenomenal hosts. The Westlawn is upscale but not pretentious, a bit more formal but not fancy. The food is good, the servers are great and when we eat there, it’s not just a meal, it’s an experience.

Ian G.

We love the atmosphere of the restaurant and bar. Sitting on the porch is great when the weather permits and the food is always delicious.

The 9200 Club

As a lifelong musician, Lee Travers has turned the Westlawn into an award-winning live music venue dubbed The 9200 Club. Every Saturday night, and one or two Fridays a month, the Westlawn hosts regionally acclaimed bands in genres that span the history of modern music — from instrumental jazz and R&B to Dixieland jazz and soft rock.

Bands play in the 44-seat main dining room, creating an intimate environment with regular interaction between musicians and dinner guests. Lee, a rock guitarist whose music career began in the 1960s, appears on stage with some of the best rock musicians in the area. Like the fine food and drinks, this is music to be savored among friends and family enjoying a relaxed meal together.

Take a look at our upcoming music & events. We hope you’ll join us!
