    Bar area.

    The remodeled Billy's Bar area is fantastic. Great atmosphere and friendly folks. Bar opens at 3 pm and kitchen opens at 5 pm. It is a plus if Rebecca is on duty at the bar. Great mixologist! Bar holds about 10. Booths and tables available. Cozy and subdued. Nice!! Great food. Smaller but varied menu.

    Such a great place! I'm glad we found it online :) A full bar with DELICIOUS food steps away from our room; I had the BEST saag paneer! Cozy room (with two bar chips waiting on us!) -- Service was great from the time we checked in til the time we checked out. I wouldn't change a thing and I want to come back as soon as possible!

    Went to the bar area for some drinks and appetizers. This place definitely deserves 5 stars for the atmosphere, the look makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. The service was good. Food was ok, nice mix of international dishes but the drinks could use a little upgrade.

    By far the best local place for foodies. Although the menu spans a variety of cuisines, they were all executed well. The owner is passionate about her food. I ordered 6 different dishes and enjoyed every one of them. After each bite I kept thinking "I can't believe I'm enjoying 'big city' food in the tiny town of Davis, WV!" Safe to say the Billy Motel greatly exceeded my expectations of what I expected to find in this area.

    This place is okay. The decor is awesome and it's right next to the entrance of Blackwater Falls State Park, but I'd say those are all of its pros. We stayed for one night in October. Check-in was easy at the bar, and we got two free drink tokens. The room was clean and I liked that the TV is Chromecast enabled. Everything started out great. When we returned in the evening from our sightseeing, we wanted to enjoy some drinks in the gorgeous lobby area with the fireplace. Alas, it was not meant to be, because although nobody was there and it was freezing cold outside, you had to rent the room for your use ahead of time. So we were told to stand outside with a few smokers, while the fireplace crackled for no one in particular other than the bartender and owner's daughter. If the lobby rental was because of COVID-19 precautions, I'd accept it, but neither the owner's daughter sitting inside or the bartender were wearing masks, so I guess that wasn't the reason. We took our drinks to our room instead of standing in cigarette smoke. We weren't pleased about that situation. Otherwise, if someone is snoring next door or the semi trucks are engine braking on the road outside, you're going to hear all of it all night long. They do provide ear plugs, but I didn't find them adequate. Is this place super cute? Yes! Would I stay here again? No!

    While shopping around for a place to stay near Thomas, WV I came across the Billy Motel. This motel fit my vibe to a T! Excellent customer service, comfortable bed, clean rooms/bath, Chromecast enabled TV's and 2 free drinks from the bar. They had a nice small bier garden where you could be comfortable with social distancing while enjoying the lovely West Virginia fall weather. Will definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

    Welcome to the 5 star club Billy! The husband and I were headed to Morgantown and on our way we wanted to explore and check out West Virginia a bit more. The husband searched for an area that had a bit of hiking and a few restaurants and breweries to explore, which is how we happened upon Davis. Davis was a perfect spot and there is a ton of stuff to do, explore and enjoy. To find a nice place to stay he used Google Maps then checked reviews on Yelp. The Billy was amazing. A very clean and comfortable room that had a super comfortable bed! Being close to the road we were a bit concerned about road noise, but no problem there. The staff made this stay super fun. Henry was awesome, and we wish him the best of luck on his future project. The owner was amazingly friendly and cool. The staff is so fun that after checking out downtown we came back to the Billy bar and hung out with a bunch of the locals who gave us even more tips to enjoy the area when we return. All total the room was about $100, and so was our bar bill, lol. We loved it here and may check out more motels like this during our future travels.

    Inside the lobby and bar area, cool fireplace!

    This is not a 5 star motel, but we had 5 star experience here, so I stand by my rating! Well decorated eclectic hotel, clean and comfortable. They kept enough of the old-fashioned touches to make it feel vintage and authentic. Upon arrival they offered us to drink tokens good for a drink at the bar. They also bring you two glasses and a pitcher of water to your room. In the morning we enjoyed delicious French Press coffee and prepackaged biscuit crackers on the patio. Wi-Fi was strong, shower pressure was good. We enjoyed the nice landscaping out front, and also the variety of plants by the patio. So many thoughtful touches made our stay here unique and memorable. We'd love to come back and have dinner as we hear it's pretty good! Very friendly and approachable staff.

    Cheese board!

I've been to The Fiddle more times than I'd like to admit, but tbh each time is more and more enjoyable. The vibes of this place are always 10/10, the food is always 10/10, and the music is always 11/10. I have had every single thing on their menu over the years and I have never had anything here that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. The same in regards to their vast beer selection. They always have something to quench your thirst, trust me! I have brought numerous people to this place since its opening and each person will still remind me of that great time we had here. I've came here during all seasons and all months and there isn't a bad time to enjoy some great music, some great food, some great coffee, some great ice cream, some great beers, some great hospitality, some great people and some great atmosphere. I stopped in recently with my gf while visiting a friend in the area and we enjoyed their amazing world peace wrap and a delicious locally sourced IPA and sour, and just like each time before, top notch! TBH, she still talks about that wrap which I have had myself personally at least 20-30 times over the years, as it's my go to. This is one of those gems that every small town wishes to have and while most businesses in Thomas come and go this one in particular has stood its ground and continues to be an amazing destination for all walks of life to enjoy. I can't thank the owner enough for bringing this place to Thomas many years ago because each time I walk through those beautiful old doors I know I am going to walk out of them with a smile on my face. Thank you Purple Fiddle Enjoy

We arrived mid-day, during the week, to an empty brewery, and were very warmly welcomed by amazing staff- the bartender spent a great deal of time with us, allowing samples & talking beer, to ensure we found our ideal pours. She even gave us some 'off list' brews from a can she had opened for herself haha-so we could experience a wider range- and oh boy glad she did because I instantly added the off-list brew to my to-go cart! Overall, we sampled a number of the IPAs & dark beers (schwarz & porters)- drank 4 beers off draft, took 2 packs home- all had high star ratings based on their unique distinguishable flavors. Heavy Handed (creamy dreamy delicious w.heavy backend 4star) Weapons Free (creamy haze; hop cloud 4star) Druid Fluid (dried fruit citra haze pop 3.5star) Wizard Dreams (creamy, but not enough pop flavor 3star) Tad Nugent (perfect hazy floral nose, creamy hops 4star) Coal Train (subtle chocolate richness 4star) Ludicrous Speed (dark coffee chocolate nibs roasted 3.5star) Boof Stroke (impressive delicious citra for how light-boldest flavor profile 5star) Hanging out on the patio picnic table area to relax it was a great night out- really appreciated the venue, wished we lived closer to re-stock up- definitely going to have to keep an ear out for when we know people visiting and put in to-go requests haha!
