In Short
This popular Uptown bar claims one of the area's largest beer selection: 300 bottled brews and 70 different draft selections that are updated every Friday. Williams is popular with college students and Uptown regulars and the bar has a split personality to accommodate the varied crowd. The upstairs pub attracts a clean-cut crowd, while the sloppy, comfortable basement "nut bar" is a slacker's sanctuary of free popcorn and peanuts, with pinball and dartboards.

William's is a typical college esque bars (e.g. not a place for a first date!). However, it's not a bad place to sit outside and enjoy a good beer admist the pretentious Uptown atmosphere. We stumbled upon this place b/c we weren't in the mood for the meat market scene (e.g. Stellas, Bar Abilene, et al). It was a breezy, warm summer afternoon and a micro brew while sitting outside sounded great. The beer was a bit on the expensive side but it is Uptown after all. Don't make the same mistake we did and be ignorant to the fact there are over 100 beers on tap in the basement. Yeah, I found this out a few days after our adventure to William's.

Considering my boyfriend spent all of Valentine's Day throwing up thanks to a burger he ate at this fine establishment the night before, I would definitely not recommend William's. Our complete ditz of a server also spilled a beer on the lap of another person with us and broke the glass which cut her finger. Was her meal or even that beer free? Absolutely not. What I do recommend is that William's cleans up their act before the Health Dept. comes calling.
