William Collier's - Nashville

Great bar located next to Marathon Works. Even when it is busy and loud staff is attentive and aware of people waiting for drinks. Huge sense of urgency but still great drink quality, kind service and efficient process. Hope to visit on a slower day to really experience the venue visited on the tornado concert relief night . Great local business and part of Nashville

Uber thanks to Bridgette C. for organizing a fantastic Happy Hour Party at William Collier's just before the Yelp Spring Break Event: It's Spring Break Y'all Party next door at Marathon Music Works. There was ample seating, 2 for 1 draft beer specials, and for the hungry tired like myself, an amazing soft drink, fancy hot dog chip special for only $8! It was really great to mix mingle with many Yelpers from across the country in a quiet atmosphere with no worries about missing the #1 YSB huge event because it was just thru the VIP entrance to the left of the bar. We Yelpers pretty much took over the entire bar area, closest high top tables, and of course took all available outlets to plug in our phone chargers to do our real time Yelp check ins photo uploads. Decent food drink specials, really fun times, and meeting superb new friends, all with our fabulous hostess Bridgette C!!!!

Prior to our It's Spring Break Y'All Party for the 2014 Yelp Spring Break, my new friend, Bridgette C. decided to host a happy hour at William Collier's. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to join this party! I love meeting new folks from the around the county with the same passion: a passon for good booze and good food. Approaching the bar, the brick walls and cursive writing on the door hinted a more upscale and trendy location. I was super excited to also see a sign outside pointing in the direction of the booze and/or real life. I chose the arrow towards the booze lol. When you enter, you'll notice an exposed warehouse ceiling, exposed concrete floors, eclectic lightbulb chandeliers and ample bar/high top seating. There's a small corner area with chunky leather couches and board games, as well as picnic table seating outside. On today's visit, there were two bartenders helping, a girl and guy. The guy was our primary bartender, showcasing an epic mustache. The service was super nice and attentive. They were personable and offers some great conversation. For my happy hour special, I decided on the bartender's recommendation, the Highland Gaelic Ale. This ale was a deep amber-color and it was full in body. There was a nice balance between malt and hops. This was a great beer! If you ever have a chance to visit this place, you need to try this beer! All in all, this happy hour was a huge success! Bridgette did a great job at creating it and Yelp elites did a fantastic job as advertising it. There were good drinks, and great company. Thanks so much for putting this on, HUGE props!

NOTE: William Collier's is only open on the days that Marathon Music Works has a show, not that I will be returning. I never liked William Collier's but found myself here before a show and decided to give it another chance. Unfortunately, it was worse than my other experiences. On my first visit they offered a full cocktail menu and bar fare, and I found it to be sub par but appreciated that they made an effort. When I came the other week, they didn't have a drink menu and the bartender was one of the worst I've ever had. She was completely unhelpful when we asked about the changes to the establishment and made me chase her down when I needed the check. I have no reason to return and don't plan to, even with the convenience they offer before a show.

I went to a private event at William Collier's and it was a great experience! The place was completely packed. When I went up to the bar, my bartender had two offerings so that made my decision easy. They had a photo booth in the corner and music flowing. Everyone was friendly and I enjoyed my time there. There is a outside patio area as well.
