Animal trophies adorn this old-timey, wood-paneled bar with pub fare, a pool tables & tin ceiling.
Sultana Bar is a wood-paneled, old-timey watering hole on Williams' Historic Route 66, the kind of place where animal trophies line the walls, a tin ceiling caps the room, and a pool table sits ready for a game. It's earned a 4.6 rating across 733 reviews, and the pull is less about any one thing than the whole package: friendly bartenders, solid pub fare, and a room that feels lived-in rather than staged for tourists.
This is a beer-and-pub-fare kind of bar, not a sit-down restaurant, though the kitchen does more than bar snacks — one recent review singled out the steak sandwich and short rib dinner, both made with local meat. Reviewers consistently mention the bartenders by name and describe the staff as the kind who'll pull up a stool and talk. At least one visitor caught live music on a Friday night stop, though it's not a guaranteed nightly thing — worth calling ahead if music is what you're after.
Williams sits about 60 miles south of the South Rim, making Sultana Bar a natural stop the night before or after a canyon day — grab a seat at the bar for the full experience regulars rave about.

Great bar with food in downtown Williams on Route 66. Staff was very friendly! We listened to some live country music and danced. We ordered the nachos- they look better in the picture than they tasted. They were cold and were scares on the ground beef. But if you want a cold beer - this is the place. Believe it or not - you can even take your kiddos.

Stopped here for some great food. Had the steak sandwich and short rib dinner. Both entrees were great, and the meat was local. Highly recommend. Bathrooms were cool too!!

Really cool to be a part of History. You have to order you food and drink with the bartender and the drinks were good. I loved the margarita

Stayed a night in Williams on our way to the Grand Canyon and decided to check this place out before crashing for the night. Sat at the bar and had great service, very friendly. The atmosphere is perfect, what you would expect out visiting West. Really enjoyed the music too. Definitely worth a stop for a few beers on a Friday night!

The bar looked really cool. The guy at the door asked for IDs. We promptley showed them and suddendly when he realized that we were tourists he asked for our passports. He was really rude. We couldnt get in because we didnt had our passports on us.
