Williams Tavern 423 East 17th Avenue, Denver, CO 80203

"Not served because I did not know my ID had expired a few weeks ago. Imagine being a drug dealer and not serving "drugs" (alcohol), for cash tips, (-bartending is a drug hussle for tips) to a 40 year old man because of expiration dates. It was very obvious that I wasn't the police and far beyond the age restrictions for alcohol use. My birth date was clearly visible on my identification. Plus, the inexperienced bartender made the worst drinks for the people I was with. Not even making this up. Lol that was what made this even more goofy Bartenders literally kill people through enabling DUI's, addiction and cause turmoil in the night scene of Denver, that leads to violence, destruction, injury and crippling hangovers. lol. Get your priorities straight. Those expiration dates though.. hahahahaha. The ID showed a date of 40 years ago, the bartender could have literally served his drugs like a man without any issue. It was kind of pathetic to see a drug (alcohol) dealing male Karen with contradicting morals. I was laughing as we walked out and I was happily and kindly served elsewhere. "I cannot serve a 40 year old man. His ID is expired. This is a very important thing that I do!" -Drug Dealer"

"Derek was the best! He was constantly checking on us and he made the best drinks! The atmosphere was very relaxed and fun! Thanks for making these out of staters feel at home."

"Horrible place. I went once and had some of the worst service ever. I can't recall the bartenders name but he was a bald fella. He legit was not busy in the slightest and took forever to get our drinks out. It was obvious he was doing it on purpose too. It's odd, I recall leaving a review and now it's gone. I wonder if the bar had it deleted somehow. I also recall a few other reviews complaining about the same guy that are now gone too."

"This place is a treasure and must be protected at all costs!! Here along with Don's and Horseshoe Lounge should be UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Don't let it suffer the same fate as its ex-neighbors Avenue Theater and The Wrangler which are now just a parking lot that is waiting for a developer to put in some soul-less 7 floor condo building with ground floor retail space. We have enough of that on 17th already!!"

"Sometimes this is all you need, a good no frills neighborhood bar that doesn’t pretend to be anything other than that . Great service and reasonable prices on the drinks. Low lighting adding to the classic bar ambiance plus a pool table just to top it off ."
