Great place for watching sport with good screens and a lovely clear sound system. Beer was fine and staff very friendly. Possibly the best pub within a stones throw of Liverpool St station (not much competition). Would have scored an 8 had it not been for the filthy toilets. Bring a peg for your nose if you want to play pool (located outside gents). Really no excuse for having poor toilets given the relatively civilised clientele. If they sort it out I might become a regular.

Green King pub with plenty of character, tucked away down a side street from Liverpool St station. Paid £2.90 for an excellent pint of Ruddles and enjoyed a couple of rounds of pool, on the, shock horror, well placed pool table away from people trying to get to either the bar, toilets, smoking area ect.

First of all this pub is not in Hoxton - which is a major plus.

Hard to find for those not in the know William's is a proper pub and very useful for a quick lunchtime pint as people from my office are not likely to find it.

The menu's a bit ropey but more than made up for by the fact that there is no deafening music and you can get a decent pint.

Hopefully it doesn't get re-branded or refurbished like some many others in the area

Worth walking to this place.

What a find for Liverpool St.
Bearing in mind it was a Friday night, just before Christmas.
Initially met in the Wetherspoons at the station and almost went home.
Decided to wander and find something better, and found just that.
The bar staff are excellent, attentive and friendly.
Standard drinks on offer but also not the usual overpricedness of the area.
Didn't try the food beyond the crisps but even they tasted better than usual in Liverpool Street.
Definitely recommnd this pub to anyone who doesn't relish the usual guff around this area.

Been under new management for about 4 months. They've sorted the beer and the staff are very nice and welcoming. this is a great place to go for a Thursday night bevvy. Safe and friendly. Bit pricey for wine though!!!

it's got a pool table and a golf machine but the beer is, I am afraid to say, terrible. Go for the games and order bottles only - much as it pains me to say that. The bar staff generally have limited English but are friendly enough and will change your crap pint for another crap pint on request. Food is OK with frighteningly quick service. Sort the beer out and it could be great.....

This is a lovely little venue that tucks itself away from the well trodden Bishopsgate track. Carlsberg, Wadworth 6X and Pride on offer amongst others. Not a bad venue. Has the campest barman this side of Brighton. Does'nt take Amex.
