With comfortable seating options, including a 55-foot long bar, banquette seating, tables, and plush booths, Willis Show Bar is perfect for intimate gatherings or larger groups. The venue is also available for private events, with customizable menu options and entertainment selections.

Reviews
"Went to see my grandson play here, it was disco night. Very cool atmosphere and music that all ages enjoyed the show. I'll go again as it's a time trip to other eras. Drinks are high priced, but didn't see any food there. Highly recommend for any age or genre."
"So fun. I ended up here for a private holiday event but it was and is always a VIBE! Go for the live music but stay for the dancing at the end and the people! Drinks are STRONG, classy handcrafted cocktails!"
"I chose to celebrate my birthday with 15 of my loved ones and When I say we had a GREAT time. The music was on point the atmosphere the VIBE. I really enjoyed every minute. Drinks were good. Our server was amazing. The door attendant was super nice and helpful. Security was polite. And Sarah manager was really nice making sure everything was set. I will definitely come back!!!"
"Wonderful hospitality in this vintage bar! We went here on a recommendation to celebrate my BIL’s birthday and the overall atmosphere was so classy. Felt like you were stepping back in time in this beautifully restored jazz bar. The servers were so attentive and kept ours drinks full. Great bartender didn’t blink an eye when we ordered an aviation cocktail and a Sazerac. The drinks (and selections) were very good. It’s live music shows so though it’s cozy and intimate setting once the music starts you won’t be able to carry a conversation. They don’t serve food but it appeared they allow outside food. This is definitely a place I’d go back for a night out."
"Such an awesome place! We went here to watch a jazz band play. The overall atmosphere was soo cool. you would never know from the outside. The drinks were good as well. A little pricey but still good. Very hard to hear your friends over the music and to talk to the sever. They don’t serve food but they keep the drinks and water coming so that’s a plus. Overall, great place to check out!"
