Best WLM Reviews
Love this bar. The staff are nice and easy to chat with if you need something. The bartenders are really nice to the dd and will give you plenty of water or soda when you're not drinking. Drinks are also well made and tasty. There are a few different bars and spots to chill at the make it so there is a spot for anyone to hangout. They host fun shows and just in general are a fun spot to visit. I highly recommend visiting here for a drink and to dance with friends. There is a decent spot to park that keeps you pretty close to them. Easy to find.
My Fiance and I visited Anchorage and had a blast, except for this one bar where we had a hilariously bad experience. The short, feisty woman checked my ID, then I went to the next lady who asked if they'd checked my ID. I said yes, but the short woman whistled at me like I was a dog and told me to go back in line. I mean, if you can't remember a face from two seconds ago, maybe it's time to see a doc about that dementia.
Several levels bar in the heart of anchorage. Its conveniently is located to many cool spots to eat and visit. It’s hip and has a cool roof top. The drinks aren’t too bad. The live music was cool. The vibe was decent. The people seem cool. The bartenders are nice. It’s not a bad spot to visit.
A group of 5 including myself went to visit Williwa for the first time on 10/05/24. The were having a Cartoon Network rave. The drinks and service were great with a reasonable price. The security was great at every door. The rave itself was weird as it had images of older kid cartoons projected up with kid music turned into a rave. A lot of people were uncomfortable and just standing there looking at the show. The music ended up getting slightly better and so did the energy. However what killed it was the amount of furries there. I mean like grown men in latex dog suits and mask. Completely catches you off guard when you’re tipsy, trying to dance with your girlfriend, and you look over, there’s a man who looks like a dog trying to hump his friend while there’s men sitting at the tables near the dance floor watching. Nothing clears out a dance floor faster than a man dressed up as a latex dog. I wish there was a rule to keep fetishes to yourself or to a minimum to keep others safe from exposure.
Entrance fee for this clownshow. The nerve. Music’s so damn loud can’t hear anyone speak, the only quiet part of the club’s some gross back alley with patio tables and chairs from home depot. Security decided to select me out of my group, the only sober person who was bored out of his mind and watching the stars as the drunk one to throw out. Literally 8 people surround me and tell me the bar’s cut me off. I ask what they’re talking about since I wasn’t even drinking and they didn’t care to listen and just kept repeating that I was cut off and tried to escort me out. My whole group had to leave whoever they were talking to and leave with me. Incredible business acumen throwing out the designated driver and losing 7 customers buying plenty of drinks. Place has the lamest themes like “beetlejuice night” where everyone’s just wearing a cheap striped suit and a wig to the same terrible generic club music. Felt like I was in highschool with the clientele but more so the staff, avoid at all costs.
"Best time of my life" type of venue. Beautiful light show and amazing sound quality. They know what they are doing. Worth checking out. Didn't eat any food both times i went, perhaps next time.
Always energetic here, the service was stellar and the tacos are incredible. Definitely recommend a stop here, catch a show if you can!
Avoid this place at all costs. We have really tried giving Williwaw a chance but after too many bad experiences, we can now say this is the worst bar we've been to in Anchorage and it's not even close. And it's reasurring to see that others agree with our thoughts, as it's becoming emptier and emptier each time we go. Horrible drinks, horrible service, rude and aggressive staff members. We're slowly learning that it's an Alaska tradition to have a story about a horrible experience you've had here. There are much better bars in Anchorage that are worth your time and money.
