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.
“This Just Inn…“

*** Fall Book Exchange: TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, 11/19-11/21, we will set up our book table with a “plethora” of FREE books.

It would be a great time to HAVE YOUR BOOK CLUB MEETING at the Westlawn! If you’re bringing a group, a reservation is best, but if you’re coming with a friend or two, feel free to just walk in! By the way, anytime you want to have your Book Club meeting at the Westlawn, we’ll offer your group the literary cocktails. Just let us know.

What our patrons are saying …
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!
One of several musical groups to appear at The Westlawn Inn:
The Creole Gumbo Jazz Band
