Williams is one of the largest bars in Uptown. It is multiple levels, with pool tables, free popcorn, and they are the only peanut bar (free) I know of (although you are limited to the basement if you choose to partake in these tasty morsels). Its usually packed later in the week and on the weekends, which makes it a little hard to get a drink, but if you head back to the pool tables, a waitress might be by soon.

They also usually have a beer tub when you walk in. Music is usually top 40 and more mainstream. During the summer they have a small outdoor patio along the sidewalk great for people watching. The crowd is usually well-hipply dressed and 22-28 years old. For any night, Williams is a safe bet because they are almost always packed and one of the best spots to play pool in uptown.

Absolutely terrible. Overpriced, and full of sorostitutes and dumbasses. Bouncers are rude and full of themselves.

Hey Langston, why do you have to throw the "race" card out? Maybe you were just a crappy customer? I can't stand it when people like you so ignorantly feel that this is why you did not get good service. There are plenty of white people that get bad service, along with hispanics, asians, you name it!! It depends on what is going with EVERYONE, not just you. I love this bar and the people that work there. They are laid back and don't take crap from people who thinks the world revolves around them.

You can throw peanut shells on the floor.

Well 'J', you must be one of the suburb white dudes or bimbos, or in the Elizabeth Hasselbeck fan club. The bartender was obviously racist- I 've heard of things like this happening more than once at this place.
