Awesome service and I had a great event watching. Food and drinks were really good worth the price. It’s just the 30 start bar tab.
Great ladies work at the bar and the food is great. Lots of tv’s and pool tables and patio to watch the outside entertainment at night. Great gathering place after games.
Really fun bar! Pool tables are fun, only a few bucks an hour, but it may take 30-60 min to get off the list on a busy night. fun local vibes.
I've never gone wrong with lunch at Big Willie's. Great service, fantastic cooks, all at a reasonable price. Been to alot of local places and this one has the best club hands down. Double BLT, one of my favorites.
Fun bar. My BFF and I had a few drinks and some smothered taco fries. The fries were dry and didn't have a ton of taco goodness on them. With that being said, the service was great and the beers were thirst quenching! There is a billiards side of the place which seemed pretty cool. It's a great atmosphere, I'd recommend!
Great spot for pool lovers. The tables play really well, though some are a bit stained. Nice bonus having a snooker table and darts, but the dart boards are awkwardly placed and can interfere with pool players. Prices are very reasonable, but parking is limited. Still, a solid place for a casual night out.
I am telling you now this is one of my favorite spots and I don’t have many to call my favorite. Whether you drink or not it is a must try. However, in saying that I must mention. This is a Bar establishment not a restaurant. I.D. 21 I Love this place! The owner has done so great with keeping this place nice, clean, and a comfortable place to be in this area of salt lake. He also owns the Willies across the street which is very different. Same great crowd, awesome bartenders, but its smaller and cheaper drinks. They still deliver food from their delicious bacon wrapped cafe located in Big Willies. Back to Big Willies, Their food is absolutely amazing! I have never ordered anything that wasn't made fresh, completely yummy every time. They have a full bar with lots of different draft beer to choose from as well as bottle and canned options. They have a huge pool room (the owner keeps the tables immaculate and new with straight unbroken pool cues and tips.) They also have steel tip dart boards and T.V.’s for your choice in sports watching in any room your in including 2 outside sitting/smoking area at both ends of the bar. One of which that also has heating in the winter and sun shades for the summer. They hold stand up comedy and poker on Tuesdays and painting nights on Wednesdays. (Could be off on the days) Every night and day they have cocktail, liquor/beer, and food specials at a discounted price, even taco Tuesdays. :) I am unsure of each of their nightly events but be sure it's never boring. The bartenders are great and friendly and no matter how busy they are, with the vast amount of space in this bar; you will never be waiting long for someone to get you another drink or taking your order. Forget standing at the bar trying to get the attention from the "busy bartender" they will come to you . They also have a rewards program giving you points from what you spend letting you use them for drinks or food later. (Not sure if they have continued this program) The bathrooms are always clean and all the bars, stools, and table tops are in clean and excellent condition in this place. This owner takes pride in his two businesses as any owner should and it shows in every aspect this establishment. If you come here enough you will always see him traveling back and forth helping his staff out and friendly with all his customers making this place have a comfortable feel you will always want to come back too. If you haven't been here then you should and if you have you know how great this place is. Open 7 days a week and even sells breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Did I mention their food is amazing?? I wish I had more photos but my phone is usually the last thing on my mind when I come here. Enjoy!
Great little dive bar with amazing food, we had the bacon Mac and Cheese and the jalapeno stuffed burger both were fantastic. Server was super nice and the food came out quick and HOT
