For what the Willows is, it's great. There's a beer and shots side ideal for chatting, and a TV and pool table side with a full bar that's more boisterous. The gave DJs sometimes in the evening. For standard bar fare, it's better than decent, with the burgers and wings particularly good. The staff is always friendly. It gets an incredibly mixed crowd, which I think is a testament to the location and vibes.

Food was great.and cake out pretty quick. The atmosphere was of a normal bar. Semi loud but reasonable. I would definitely go back. There was no wait staff though.

The bartender was rude as soon as we walked in. He said we had 10 min to order. But we needed to eat something, so we stayed. We ordered 3 cheeseburgers. Charged us 73$. There was no burger for that price. He was swearing the whole time. Then watching him, we realized he was drunk. He had multiple large shots. Some people came to play pool. He was not happy to uncover pool table. So those 6 people left without ordering anything. The lady that brought out food was very nice. Hope he is better to her than the customers.

I haven't been here since it was Hamburger Mary's back in 2005. It looks like it has some tasty bar foods like back in the day, but I just stopped in for a beer. There is a special, $5 shot of a tequila or whiskey that they had listed with a beer so, yes please. There is a front bar that was busy but I peeked around the corner next to that bar and there was another bar with nobody there and a lonely bartender...perhaps because he did not have the wares of the young lady in front so I took advantage of his availability. I ordered and he told me of the special but with the bonus of having a mystery shot rather than one of the proffered shots on the sign out front. As I like a good mystery, I said yes. I guessed a tequila of some sort from the smell at a distance but then could not identify it upon tasting it. He revealed it to be a mezcal so I was close. I liked the option of a mystery shot. More places should do this. Anyway it was quiet at that bar but so busy in front. I was happy to enjoy the company of the nice bartender in the quiet section. I'll update when I return to try some of the food on menu

Pretty chill little bar. Enjoyed the karaoke on Sunday night. Pretty damn good burger. Drink prices are pretty decent. Crowd is mixed. Good time.

Took 1h to get simple burgers with fries. You order at the counter and tip straight away, guess that's why they don't care after that. Not cool at all. We came with a party of 5, ordered at the same time and they were bringing out food with 5-10min intervals. And besides food was nothing special

Good beer (I got the barrel house lager), one of the best burgers I've had in a while (DIY burger), reasonable prices for Bay Area. Seems like a nice place to hang.
