Food is amazing.
A waitress was extremely rude to my party. We had 5 people and all of the tables for that amount were taken. We were cursed at because we chose a table that hadn’t been cleaned yet. Almost left but got a different waitress who was super nice.

The menu is excellent, especially the burgers. Drink selection lacks nothing, including a variety of beers.

Super fun bar, trivia night is poppin and really busy on game nights as well! Good was actually really good and the beers were ice cold and delicious you can tell they do a good job cleaning the lines and keeping the place upkept as well. Staff and bartenders were really friendly and on top of it even on a really busy night. I got the wings (Cajun dry rub) and they were really outstanding I was thoroughly impressed! Then I got the Chicken tenders as well because everyone raves about them and they said they were the best and they really were. Super light, crisp breading and juicy, perfectly cooked hand breaded in house tenders, seasoned to perfection, what more could ya want. Can’t wait to come back and try a few more things on a less crazy night for sure but even still got a seat at the bar right away when it looked like there was no place to sit at all so really great set up overall!:)

Beautiful day. People enjoying the weather and a few beers. The plate of nachos (added chicken) was very good. The bartender was exceptionally nice, even though he was busy! Took the time to tell me about the area, the driving range nearby, and the neighborhood. I don’t even drink alcohol (Coke with my nachos) and I think this place is great!

We had Camila as our server tonight and she was literally the sweetest. Incredible service and had such a fun time—she rocked!!!
We had a blast at Thursday Night trivia! Very well organized with a wide category of questions. We ordered one of each small plate to share for the table and left happy!
The service is great, that tiff chick knows how to order up a decent chicken wing, overall would recommend to friends that drink and/or like chicken wings.
They must not need customers here. We waited twenty minutes without anyone taking our order. So I went inside and asked to be served. The bartender ignored me for the next ten minutes, during which he found time to peruse his phone. We left and won't be back.
I come here once in a blue moon since it’s nearby I love their nachos and their hospitality. I do not come here very often. I was thrown off once I tried to enter one of the bouncers told him I’m not welcome here they proceed to tell me I was banned. I understand they are just doing their job as well just trying to provide a safe space I hope nothing against them. I just wish they would give me a little bit more of explanation or at least allow me to provide identification. I understand they’re doing a good job I was just a little confused that they wouldn’t allow me entrance without an explanation as I wasn’t welcome I hold nothing against him as they seem to be doing Their job I was just a little disappointed That I believe I was in their mixup other than that they offer quality drinks and delicious hors d’oeuvre

Good food and drinks, friendly staff and nice outdoor area. Nice place during the summer
Love coming here for the great food, drinks, and bingo night on Tuesday. But they charge a 4% service charge which sucks, got told by my bartender Maggie it’s for gratitude. I mean I guess, but I rather just tip an actual good amount instead of having to tip less because of the service charge. Take away the service charge!!!
I came here for the bourbon bacon cheddar burger and let me tell you it was absolutely delicious! The waffle cut fries are crispy and complement the burger extremely well! Some friends got the sheet nachos with pork and they absolutely devoured them as well! This is our second time back and we will definitely be there for a third time! I’m not sure what day it was exactly that we went but they had board games available for you while you waited for your food! We played some classic battleship and operation, but the food came out relatively quickly! Great atmosphere, and we will be back again!
I love this place. The service and staff are friendly and easy on the eyes. ( especially Tori and Jess lol)Great times to be had. Just warning you though, it's a packers bar in the heart of bear country so be nice.
Parking: Paid parking right there but free after 7pm across the street is your best bet so approach from the park side.

We came here on a Wednesday afternoon for some good old fashioned day beers and Willie Lill's did not disappoint. Friendly staff, cold drinks, clean bar, cool atmosphere, great patio, fantastic music. I'd absolutely return. We did not try any of the food, so can't comment on that.
My only complaint, and the only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that there are no physical menus. You need to pull your phone out and scan one of I think 4 QR codes depending on what you're after (food, beer, cocktails etc.). Also, you can't just scan 1 QR code and see everything, you need to physically scan the beer code in order to see beer, scan the food code to see food.
I understand that some people like this, but I dislike this practice. I get that it can save time and money for a bar or restaurant not having to print and laminate menus. I also get that it can make it easier for staff because they don't have to handle or clean menus. That being said it makes for a pretty terrible guest experience. I just want to see everything in one place and not have to read it off my phone.
