One of my friends planned a get together for brunch on New Year's. He lives in the neighborhood and suggested this spot. I had the french toast and it did not disappoint. It came out perfect- fluffy and rich buttery goodness! And the sangria was ok. For a pub/bar spot, this place has a ton of choices! There's also happy hour weekday from 5-8pm! I love that they also mention using the freshest produce available- grass fed beef, cage free eggs, and free range chicken. Service was great. Our waitress made sure we have water to refills and just about anything we asked. She even took our pic at the end. Overall, this is a great choice for meet ups, a casual dinner or even a celebration. It's nice to know that they also have seating in the garden for the warmer months. Def plan on returning in the future!
The place itself is pretty nice and has a full bar and outside seating, which is nice, but would be nicer if there weren't so many vines. The vines bring too many bugs, which eat all your food. But it is pretty, none-the-less. The food was alright but one or two items on my plate had a weird taste, which I wasn't a fan of. The wait staff was nice and quick but next time, I'll order something else.
Williams and Bailey is a great place to host an event. My school had a get together here and the staff was more than accommodating to serving 25+ people.
We went on a Sunday for brunch and sat towards the back of the establishment. I noticed there is an outdoor area that is available as well. The staff was attentive to our needs and requests.
Pros:
-Unlimited mimosas for $15
-The mixed drinks are strong
-Food was delicious and comes served hot. I had tag steak and eggs Benedict with hashbrowns and toast. Lots of food for about $12.
-The wings were also really tasty
-Nice variety in the selection of music
Cons:
-Food took some time to come out.
I would definitely come back here for drinks and food!
Had the wings, which are good and an ok value at $8 for six big wings. Nachos are large and tasty. TV screens are HD, unlike divier Redd's next door.
Three cheers to Williams & Bailey. My boyfriend and I have now been here twice so it's high time to review. The whole space is unassuming and homey and I cannot wait for warm weather to try out the patio/garden outside.
As far as food goes, my boyfriend loves the burger (and it makes the healthier eater in me happy because it's grassfed) and I recently tried their turkey sandwich which was totally out of this world (who would have thunk?). And it's nice to find a bar where the beer list is solid and they can also make a really good old fashioned.
And if it couldn't get any better the staff is always nice and just the right amount of attentive.
Elizabeth, Saad and I came her for brunch with their baby when we couldn't get into the place up the street expeditiously. This is an interesting place, which is about half bar and half restaurant. It is a little dumpy for the kinds of restaurants I like to go to, but the service made up for it by really wiping down the table when we sat, bringing utensils on a plate, etc. The kinds of touches that make you more comfortable eating in a place that is a little run down. They did have a high chair, BTW.
The menu was pretty interesting for bunch, and fairly extensive. I didn't love my food, but I went out on a limb with what I ordered, and think I probably just ordered poorly relative to my taste. Everyone else enjoyed their food.
I thought the prices weren't bad. A couple dollars cheaper than what I think you would pay for something comparable in Manhattan.
This is a 3 star average bar with food brought down by the service.
I have been here twice now. The first time was a walk by stop in when I was with a friend looking for some food. The food and drinks were a little pricey but the place was there and the food was ok. I had the mac and cheese – it wasn't particularly memorable.
The second time was last night. It was the same average but overpriced bar with OK food. Seriously though $8 for a pint of guinness? I asked to switch to scotch and soda – a drink that I had to explain to the waitress. She comes back saying they have no well scotch but do I want Wild Turkey (yeah that's not scotch at all). I sigh and say sure – it was a watered down mess.
The food for three people came out at different times. I had a chicken sandwich that was actually pretty good – would have been better if I didn't have to wait 10 minutes for it to come out.
The straw that broke the 1-star camel's back here though came when we checked out. First off the waitress comes up to us and tells us she is changing shift so they are checking us out and starting a new tab. What the fuck? Roll it over and deal with it.
Now here's the kicker. Bill was about $93. There were 4 of us who spent varying amounts. I did the math, got cash from two of them, and myself and a friend were to pay with card. I made it simple – bill $42 to each of these cards and the cash (a remaining $29) is the rest and tip. She comes back, charged me 52 and the other 42 and takes all the cash! What the fuck! I explain the 2nd grade math to her and tell her I want $10 cash back NOW. She comes back over with 10 bucks, slams it on the table like a child and storms away.
Never. Again.
Williams and Bailey's is currently my favorite bar this side of Brooklyn. From the wide selection of beers, to the projector screens for sports games, and the absolutely amazing food, there is no bar I can recommend higher that Williams and Bailey's in Williamsburg.
