My husband and I went for a drive and ended up in this cute town. The purple pub was highly recommend so we stopped for lunch. I truly think they were having an off day. The server was very nice but we're pretty sure our ticket got lost as there was 6 patrons. I ordered a coke and my husband got a beer. My coke tasted flat and weird but I drank it anyway - before I heard the table next to ours send their coke back for the same reason. It took about 45+ minutes to get our order: a single burger and salad. The burger was cooked well instead of medium rare and the avo we asked served on the side was super oxidated (browned like it had been sitting out for a while and warm) and my salad was off. I was ok ignoring the browned lettuce but the salad was lightly tossed in a very small amount of the wrong dressing (meaning the salad was only lightly dressed almost dry). I asked for a small ramakin of the right dressing figuring I would wait until I got it to, It took another 15+ minutes and the server brought the wrong dressing- she even showed us on the bill that she did ring in the right one and was super apologetic. My husband already finished his food so when they offered to remake the salad we declined mostly because I wasn't sure how long it was going to take and my hangry soul wasn't ready for the possibility of another 45 minutes-an hour of waiting. Pic attached was the avocado side that came with the burger Server was very apologetic and kind, she was lovely but overall our experience was a bummer.

Food is a 1 star, service is a 4 star and atmosphere is a 3 star… overall 3 stars. Think of Denny’s with outdoor seating and a bar inside and you have Purple Pub. To go there for the food would be highly suspicious, unless this was the only place open… which happened to be our situation! We completed a college drop off at around 4 pm and unbeknownst to us most or all the cafes closed at 4. We were looking for outdoor seating so Purple Pub was the only available option. There was nothing about the food that stood out… just food that is blah, minimal taste. We were a party of 5, and the total bill was $95 without tip. Service was good.

We were on vacation and this was the second day we were here. We tried to go to a different restaurant but could not get in. We walked around and found this restaurant. It was not busy at all. We were there on Thursday night. We got there and there was no front desk so we were a little confused. We ended up seating ourselves. The service was good. And the food was pretty good too. Drinks were reasonable which was a nice bonus. Guessing that this place would be very busy on the weekend.

This place is about as close to a "local bar" as you are going to get in Williamstown besides Water Street Grill. They have great burgers. The food prices are reasonable but they do charge $8 a pint, so just be warned if you are here for a game, the bill racks up quickly. If you're looking for bar food, this is a good choice.

Also note that a lot of the negative reviews are "Williams folks" who were expecting something more than bar food. If you want a restaurant that is more "cuisine-oriented", just go to Water Street Grill. They do good bar food here but don't expect to have your socks knocked off if you are looking for something more than...

Placed an order this afternoon at 1pm and at 1:45 still had no food. We asked the server at 1:20, 1:30, & 1:40 and all she kept saying was - it will be right out. I finally explained that I was to drop my starving child off to camp in exactly 15 mind and would appreciate some honesty. That’s when she told us it was not going to be ready at all. Wish I had never stepped foot in this place. Had to leave with my hungry 11 year old and scour the town for something else to eat before dropping him off to camp at 2 pm. Worst experience of my life. I’m unhappy to have had such a stressful time with my kid in the last hour before he...
