A pretty good average bar with a grill up close you can watch them grill. Plenty of televisions for sports and a mid size average beer list. Nothing to special here but still better than a chain restaurant read more

I went here with friends after dinner. I had never been here, but it was pretty low key and laid back. To be honest, if you've ever seen the TV show "Roseanne," I felt like I was at The Lobo. It wasn't bad, just different. The wood paneling was a nice touch. The location was great, near restaurants on North Ave and within walking distance. It also seems like a biker hang out. So, if you like to ride, check it out. I just had water, but as I was people watching it seemed like people were having a good time. read more

Met a couple of co-workers here for a "meeting" after work. It wasn't busy when we were there, but there was a wide range in age of the customers, which is cool. I ordered the famous wings, but they told me that THOSE wings are only available on Wednesdays. I definitely plan to go back and try them. Ofcourse, I'll tell you how they are. They have a decent bar menu and a fair number of beers on tap to choose from. Walter's on North is not a great option for a change of pace.

I was surprised by this place. We originally intended to go to another restaurant nearby but when we walked up to it, they had a yard sign that said they were closed for remodeling. I had a coworker from Madison with me so I didn't want to lead her throughout the area looking for a place to eat and having to keep up in her car. We started walking down north and happened upon Walters. We walked in and immediately noticed the diversity in people in there from an age and dress perspective. Some had laptops out and were working on something, others in scrubs, some in ties, etc. That was cool to see. We ordered an appetizer to share - mini corn dogs. These didn't seem like your typical bar food frozen corn dogs. They had something more like a Vienna wiener inside. They were awesome. We both had burgers and fries and the burgers were quite large. You could get all the classic toppings including fried onions. They were excellent burgers. We were very pleased and slightly surprised. I think it was $30 for both us for an appetizer, two burgers, and a few drinks. A bigger beer list would be nice but that's about all I can knock this place on. Oh, also the Tiffany style lamps hanging there did feature the Bears, Cubs, Vikings, Lions, and White Sox. read more

Fun, local divey kind of bar. You're likely to see a lot of regulars. The atmosphere is inviting and fun. There is a bar up front and another area in back. The bartenders have always been great. Nice stiff drinks. I've never tried their food but my husband has. He says it's decent bar food. read more

Wonderful neighborhood meeting place with great food. This is a place where the bartenders are your buddies and the regulars always have a great story. The welcoming nature of Walt's is really the heart of the place. Tacos on Thursdays are a real value.. some of the best bar food I've had. Other specials include a great Friday Fish Fry and Ribs on Saturday nights. They have classic burgers you can order with grilled onions or ask and they'll whip up a "Cajun Pepper Porkchop" sandwich.. yum! Miller products as well as Lakefront, Capitol and Sprecher beers are available but, you can also get a decent tequila here as well. read more

It's a dive. In Tosa. It was clear pretty much everyone in there knew each other and that they all spend their nights there together. Carpet was dirty and well-worn and the whole place looked a lot like my grandma's basement circa 1986 - all wood paneling and hanging stained glass lamps - though as Rachel mentions, those were actually pretty cool and updated. Worst part for me was the super-strong odor of the deep-fryer that spurred to life every 30 minutes or so when someone new ordered food. The smell was STRONG, though thankfully didn't linger. Bonus points for having Strongbox, which I didn't expect. read more

Four stars, because now I know my cross-generational BFF Jose hangs out here. Look for the guy with the crazy mustache; you'll know it's him because he has this super raspy voice. Tell him Rachel F says hi, it'll creep him out slightly, but mostly it'll just be funny. read more

Normally wouldn't ever think to come here, despite in being a few blocks away from my old house. This place was always the signature dive bar of Tosa. They used to have a pool table, which they had to take out due to an unruly crowd. On the choice of a teammate I came here after a rec game. The place was more crowded than I expected, and there were more younger people that I expected. It was as divey as expected. It had all the cool aspects of a dive bar: Cheap Drinks (3.50 Louise Demise, $5 PITCHERS of Miller Lite) friendly staff, neighborhood feel. It'd didnt have, however, the bad aspects of a dive bar (sketchy crowd, loud music, weird vibe). After all those positives, I could tell my experience at Walter's was better than I expected. Since it was wing night we decided to give them a try. And my god it was dynamite. They cook their wings in the same fashion as Points East (which a lot of people consider the best in the city). Deep fried, then put in a bucket of buffalo sauce, then grilled to perfection. They were delicious, and I could sense that some people in the community were started to realize that - as how many orders were coming in. Who would've thought that the dive bar that survived a terrible fire, would have incredible wings? Not me, that's for sure. read more

Great corner neighborhood bar. These places use to be common but are disappearing which adds to its charm. Basic bar food is good and drinks reasonably priced. Place can get busy at times. Don't consider it a "dive" as it is very cleanand has been kept up well. Just more of a throwback feel. read more

To be fair, I'm the only one of my friends that like this bar. They all enjoy the fancy bars that charge them 6 bucks for their angry orchards. I'm more of the normal sports bar type joints. That's exactly what this bar is. Nothing special or fancy but it's perfect. Drinks are cheap and the service rocks. The bartenders are pretty funny and always have good stories. There's a neat looking shuffle board that I've never played but I hear is fun. Sometimes it smells like a wet dog, but I think that adds charm. Some of the bartenders are pretty cute, so that's a plus. read more

My wife and I have been to Walter's quite a few times. We've taken numerous friends there who are visiting from out of town. We have never heard anyone complain about this place. It's a great place to go with a large group, small group, or even by yourself. The bartenders are friendly and no one there (patrons or staff) is pretentious. The prices are fantastic, there's a good selection of liquors/beers, and the cheese curds are great (so are the fries). If you're looking for a relaxed bar to have a few cold ones, Walter's is definitely the place you should go. read more

Great local place to hang out and grab a drink. A great bar burger and the friday fish fry are good. Some recent updates brighten the palce up. Added more hi-top tables in the back room. Stop in the afternoon and there are usually some cribbage games being played by the locals. read more

I would give Walter's a higher rating but I've only been there once and am unsure how to categorize it. It's not really a dive bar but has a dive bar feel, it's kind-of dark, not too new decor. But, it's also kind-of a sports bar, several TVs and sports stuff on the walls. I don't know, tough to figure out. They do serve good burgers and chicken sandwiches and the service was super friendly. So, I will definitely go back and update my review then! read more

My review is based on the fact that I was never able to eat here and was not served. We came here a couple weeks ago for a Friday night fish fry and sat at a pub table a few feet from the bar and were ignored for at least 15 minutes straight. We walked up to the bar, which was full, but not one bartender walked over to us. I'm fine if they don't have waiter service, not all bars do, but pay attention to customers walking in and out of the establishment. We were the only people not sitting at the bar, so not really sure what protocol is either....huge bummer. I really wanted to like this place being new to the area, but unfortunately I probably won't return. read more

Absolute favorite wings in the city! Only served on Wednesday nights, don't miss them! Plus, $5 pitchers of domestic beers!

Walter's is a decent place to start or end the night. We have been in here many times. However, tonight was more disappointing than other nights. We were out and called to see when the kitchen was closing. We were told midnight, so we decided to end the night there. We arrived at 11:35 only to find the bartenders had decided to stop serving food because of the "crowd." We told them we had called to check but they didn't seem to care. I'm sure we will be back, but this was a big disappointment tonight. read more

The food and fish fry is what make this place good and the fact that the bar is kind of split in half so you can either sit with the crowd or get lost and play darts. Bartenders are friendly and actually the bathroom (men's room, haven't been in the ladyies room yet *wink*) is actually very clean and nice. read more

What can I say about Walters? Best local bar around--mostly because of the babes that come out, but their prices and their tacos are just as hot as the locals. read more

Very nice atmosphere Friendly staff Interesting talk Reasonable prices Cribbage headquarters Have been there many times over the years for young and old Food made fresh read more

Love this place, good local bar with great people. Best old fashion, great tacos, good wings (if you can handle the heat). If you live in tosa and have not been to Walters you need to stop in. read more

This bar is sublime. A great place for s beer and burger....no frills, just good beer. Good food and good service

Inexpensive and good quality. Had a burger and breaded mushrooms, fries, all of which tasted great. For what it's worth, the bartender was exceptionally beautiful. read more

Cheese curds are amazing! Gets busy and not a lot of room in the bar area once it gets too crowded. Service is good and friendly.

Standard dive bar. They did away with the tater tots I used to love in my early 20's and they won't pour me a double vodka gimlet, but who are we kidding? It's close by and I'm always going to come back. Shuffleboard! read more

It sucks! The service was horrible! The fish fry was forgettable and the portions were small. Appetizers came with the meal and were cold. Don't bother. read more

Walter's tried to kill me once in 1997, and I've never forgotten it. Drink One: A Rolling Rock, which, as I lifted to my lips clearly had dried barbeque sauce dripping down the side of the bottle. Gah! Drink Two: A prompt replacement from the snafu of Drink One, this bottle almost cut my tender little lips because the top of the Rolling Rock Bottle was broken off. Shesh! Drink Three: A normal, cold bottle of Rolling Rock. Bliss. As the evening progressed, I switched from beer to soda. Determined to enjoy every last drop of my ice cold Coca Cola, I tipped the glass back and what should appear before my eyes but a QUARTER in the middle of the ice. What, say what?!? This place is trying to kill me, I thought. So I left, and upon returning home I realized I forgot my purse at the bar. No problem, thought I. I'll just call and have my friends who are still there bring it to me. No such luck - Walter's had an unlisted number. So, back to the bar I went. All of this being said, while you might proceed carefully after my cautionary tale, Walter's is a standard divey outdated bar that can probably meet your most basic imbibing needs. If they don't kill you first. read more

Went here with a buddy and he said it was a classic dive bar, but I thought it was a little nicer than a dive bar. It was an interesting group of people, they were either in their late twenty/early thirties or really old guys. One old guy was obsessed with my hat which was kind of creepy. The other two guys were really nice and fun to talk too. I did love that I could get $3.00 taps of Lakefront Brewery. I'd like to go here again and try out the food. read more

My girlfriends tell me it's got alot of sausage but for the wrong batting team though, but good stiff drinks....
