William Oliver's

William Oliver's is a neighborhood pub known for an extensive whisky list, with over 400 whiskies from many countries, and a menu that leans heavily on hand-cut applewood smoked bacon. The pub also stocks a full range of spirits and serves beer brewed in Colorado, with most taps coming from breweries within 20 miles. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, including a vegetarian red-bean chili made from an old family recipe.

The pub does not take reservations or phone calls, so guests come in and wait for a table. Dogs are welcome on the patio if they are leashed and well-behaved. Free wi-fi and a laid-back atmosphere make it a place to linger, and private events and gift cards are offered. Locations are in Fort Collins on South Timberline Road, with additional pubs in Lafayette and Windsor.
