If you are unfortunate enough to live in Glendale/Phoenix, you could try migrating here for something to do. Westgate had potential but for some reason it continues to stay pretty shady at night. I've worked here before and visited several times to check out the bars and there's no rhyme or reason to it, it's very hit-or-miss. Saddle Ranch and Yard House always seem to be fun and busy. The shops scattered around aren't anything to write home about and the fountain area is usually annoyingly loud with children trampling through the water bursts and then at night it usually switches to a teenager/date hangout. If you are into the bar scene or staying at the Renaissance, it's fun to walk over and have some drinks/dinner but I definitely wouldn't go out of your way to make it to Westgate. At night it's usually a fight waiting to happen and on UFC fight nights you'll want to avoid the area as it gets filled with "tough guys". Lots of the stores that were once there have closed as well. If you are a young professional or want a night out on the town, I'd definitely opt for downtown as it's a bit more upscale and professional.
