J. Willys Public House and Eatery

Best pub in West Linn
Apr 3rd, 2024

What just happened lol. I was going to hang out at the Cider House, cool place, but there was an event. So I saw this place across the street and being that it's a "Public House" I figured oh cool, should be hospitable and also cool. IT WAS NOT. Maybe I broke some cardinal rule? I didn't know if it was seat yourself, as there was only a sign that read, "See bartender for seating during afternoon hours." But it was 5pm, so figured ok it's dinner hour now. Noticed there was a staff of three people by their serving station so okay they have servers there, so I sat myself. After a little bit, a server finally came over and right off asked if I someone had sat me and I said no. She said ok I'll get you a menu and immediately walked away...I already knew what I wanted but she bolted before I could say anything. Yikes. Fifteen minutes went by, and she never returned. So I left. I felt like I was being punished or something for seating myself? But yeah this place did NOT pass the vibe check. Even if I screwed up and wasn't supposed to seat myself, no way to treat someone over an honest mistake. Like I didn't feel welcome at all. She could have explained that I'm supposed to seat myself if it was that big of a deal. Anyway, walked twenty feet down the road and am now enjoying my time at the West Linn Saloon. Always a solid choice.

J.Willys is a great place for an intimate get away. Just off the main drag of west lynn.
