Staying at the falls and everything was closed onsite, came to Williamsburg and had a great meal. Fish and chip for me and burger with Mac and cheese for my lady. Good friendly staff read more

Stopped in at this place on our way home from Gatlinburg. Cute little cozy Irish Bar. We ordered the Cod, came with 3 large pieces... I absolutely loved the portion sizes here. The Cod meal could easily be shared by 2 people. The generous portion they offered was cooked to order and promptly served. The Beer cheese was so yummy. The steak cut curly fries had great seasoning also. We would definitely stop in again for a good fish basket & some beer cheese!!! read more

They are changing ownership soon so they had a limited selection. I had a cheeseburger. Very good. The Mac & cheese is advertised as baked, it was not. I had some tots off my husband's plate which were great. Good draft selection and friendly service. read more

Cool little joint. First time in Kentucky and this was a place to grab a great mixed drink. I would definitely recommend if you're in town. Thanks to the bar tender for making that sweet tea mixed drink. Wow! I had two and wanted a third. read more

I hate this place and at some point I am going to stop trying to get food here. Tonight, after 15 mins, the bartender was informed by the kitchen that they are out of the food that all four of the folks at my table ordered. Then the pickles came out under cooked. At this point I am beyond hangry. We have been here for over an hr and just got the pickles. Once food finally arrived, it was ok. My burger was well done and dry but at this point, how can I complain...it's good after all. Can someone also explain to me how an Irish Pub have rap music playing??? Thankfully I asked the bartender, Althea, to change it and she put on a sea shanty! Lol! Honestly, the bartenders were the saving grace of every experience we have had here. BTW, they have been out of meatloaf each time I have come here after the first time. So sad we cannot have better in Williamsburg. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for some time, as I'm a sucker for pub food. And given that the Corbin/Whitley area is experiencing something of a food "Renaissance", I had high hopes. First, the good. The atmosphere is awesome. No one is going to mistake this for a legitimate old-school pub, but the lighting and setup were great. The band playing was solid, and their Halloween decorations were on point. Also, the service was decent. The ladies behind the bar were hustling, and I never had issues getting anyone's attention. As for the food, I ordered fish and chips. The person who waited on me told me they were solid. And I will say, the fries were fantastic. Kind of a weird twisty potato edge. I was for it. So, now the bad. The fish was an absolute joke. When the basket was set in front of me, I immediately wondered if I'd only gotten a half order. One flat piece of dry fried fish, arguably the size of my hand (and I'm not a big guy). I could have even overlooked that, but the quality was unbelievably poor. The edges were hard, the breading was falling off, and it just had no real flavor to speak of. Had someone told me I'd gotten a piece of frozen fish from Walmart, I wouldn't have believed them. Frozen fish from Walmart is better than this. To boot, the meal was $14 after tax. For that price, I should have had leftovers. GOOD leftovers. When I left, I drove to Cook-Out and bought a $1.39 cheese quesadilla, because I was still genuinely hungry. Now, I will say, the other dishes I saw coming out of the kitchen looked solid. I saw a burger and Irish nachos which made me instantly envious. But if you're going to open a pub, you have to serve fish and chips. And they have to be good. What I had was far from good. I'd consider going back to try some other things, but the kitchen really needs to step it up on their fish game. read more

Great food. Staff friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is welcoming and clean. No complaints for our visit. Give it a try!

Road trip from MN and Airbnb host recommended - excellent BBQ, great options and good service

Stopped in for lunch as heading through the area! First, Williamsburg is a charming town with Colonel vibes, many stately homes & beautiful churchs (lots of them)! Stopped at The Butchers Pub as wanted something different. Had fish & chips; fabulous, fish was cooked perfectly as were the chips (real "chips" not French fries). Hush puppies were also great. My husband had Rueben & said it was very good! Service was also great! read more

Delicious food, and always great live music on the weekends. Fun atmosphere, definitely the place to be when you have some free time read more

I've made multiple trips here passing through, it has slowly declined. Tonight the staff say at the bar on their phones, bartender had no idea what Tanqueray was, no tonic.. no dark beer.. no intelligence.... I drank lite beer.. it was safer. Cute blonde, customer had to yell at her to get her attention for a drink . From the appearance.... They have plenty to clean ! read more

You will feel nothing but warm welcome when walking into this little pub. If you're lucky enough to have some live entertainment from a local college student, have him sing Tennessee Whiskey... you'll get goose bumps. The bartender (maybe the owner?) is a hoot. Our waitress was so friendly. The drinks were a little watered down, but it is truly this small town's hidden gem. You'll recognize it by the butterfly mural on the side of the building. read more

AWFUL THE WORST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN YEARS !!!!!!! When I complained the manager came to me and told me to go F myself Ok small band was playing and no one clapped, felt bad for them, so I ordered Scotch Eggs and Fish n chips my girl ordered meatloaf. Scotch Eggs, well being English I know what they should look and taste like,, these were a joke,, they were awful and as you can see I left them, under that plate is my fish and chips,, fish was frozen and not good the 2nd piece had that strong bad fishy taste and I am sat here typing feeling unwell. Meatloaf, had like a BBQ sauce mix with soy sauce twang, in was not edible and she is now also having tummy ache. I told the waitress this was some of the worse food I have ever had, she said she would go get the manager, he came and took my credit card and I showed him this review, he asked me what could he do to make his business better, I explained it was not my position to advise him on his food and experience, to which he responded "Go F@&# Yourself) funny enough a couple at the table next to him heard him and got up and left. I was not after a free meal as I can afford to go out to eat and do on a regular basis but this place was bad. you can see how much food we left,, that should tell you , thats what $30 of substandard food looks like. So maybe the kitchens need inspecting and I would advise checking the ID of the college kids in there, I saw several I know were not 21 being served beer. So dont waste your time or money, look at the other reviews read more

We know you just got off the highway to get some Wendy's. just drive 5 minutes more and go into town and get something decent. This place is really good!! Chicken sandwich was super tender and tasty. Corned beef was some of the best I've ever had. French fries were pretty amazing too curly and crunchy. Excellent service from Andrea, too! read more

Cozy eatery with great pub atmosphere! The food is delicious....the meatloaf is a favorite of mine! Good selection of local beers.

I'd give it 4.5 stars. Been here a few times and had always enjoyed it here. Good beer and good food. Next time I go I want to try the Irish nacho. My wife and I was however was disappointed with their Bloody Mary. It wasn't what I expected after reading the menu. They didn't add bacon but there was 2 bad tasting pickles with it. read more

Absolutely the worst food I've eaten in Williamsburg. The ambiance is awesome, just needs new cooks. This Pub has potential, but as long as they keep serving food like this they will go under. Go somewhere else to eat, you'll thank me.... read more

If I could give this zero stars, I would. Have been there before and it was good but this time it was terrible. We waited 45 minutes for our food, and when our burgers came out, two of them were red! Sent them back to be cooked and waited another 30 minutes. The sweet potato fries on one of the plates were burnt. I guess the cook just put them back in the fryer. Couldn't eat them. Our server was nice but explained that it was just her second day, the other server had never been trained (and they had come from the London location). There was no manager there, just the 2 servers and cook. Only two other tables at the place so it wasn't like they were busy (not sure why it took so long for our food). So we paid for food that was not cooked and then was burnt. Will never be back and we like to support local. Not sure why everything was so awful. read more
