    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!

    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.

    Went here with some fellow yelpers. Is it a towny type of dive? Yep? Any problems with that? Nope. There are tables for drinks and chairs for sittin'. Prices seemed resonable, and the service came with a smile. Didn't feel unwelcome or out of place. Probably wouldn't make a trip out of my way, but wouldn't avoid if I was walking on by. Check it out, it might be your deal.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Been coming here for years. Walters is the consummate "neighborhood bar." A place "everybody knows your name" and/or a place that strangers can feel welcomed at. For beer drinkers, they've got all kinds of bottled beer and numerous tappers. For cocktail drinkers, they pour good drinks at reasonable prices. They serve a tasty array of finger food/appetizers, have great burgers, numerous sandwiches and have "special" food nights: Wednesday is chicken wing nite. These chicken wings are not the run of the mill wings you get at most bars. These are flash fried and then finished on the grill after being tossed in bar manager Jimmy's secret recipe sauce. Just outstanding. Thursday nite is Taco nite (chicken or beef), Friday is fish fry and Saturday nite is rib nite. Lots of bar seating as well as quite a few table tops. There's a few video machines for the wagerers amongst us and a pool table, too. Anywhere you sit, you'll be able to watch whatever sports are being televised at the moment. For smokers, there's a special, fenced-in outdoor patio that you can take your drinks out to. Wifi too.

    Never the destination, but always part of the journey.. If Wauwatosa has any "dive bars", this might qualify as one of them. Bye no means is this meant as an insult. Walter's is a good bar because it does not try to be something that it isn't. Want a $15 martini or bacon-wrapped scallops from the kitchen? Well, you won't find them here. Want a double Jack & Coke, cheeseburger and fries for about $10? You just found it. Want super-swanky modern decor? Nope. Want 1970's dark wood paneled rec-room fab? Check. Walter's has everything you want in a neighborhood bar: Pool table, dart boards, jukebox, and TVs always playing your favorite local sports teams. More importantly, they have good bar food, (when I say bar food, I mean that they actually make the food right behind the bar), cheap beer, generous mixed drinks, and super friendly bartenders and patrons. Best of all, it's close to my house so I can either stumble home on foot, or set the Jeep to autopilot. I'm only giving three stars because I haven't ordered food here much and I want to leave room for improvement. Will update once I do.

    Alright so please don't look at the 4 star rating and assume you should rush to Walter's as it may be the best bar in Tosa. In fact, this bar only is getting 4 stars because of the amazing people watching and the fact that it may be the most entertaining bar in Wauwatosa. I can count the times I've been to Walter's on one hand. Really most times I've ended up there it was after a LONG night of drinking. Seems logical to end your night at a bar 2 blocks away from your house, right? Every time I walk in Walter's, it's like a totally new bar. One time, I thought it was the most magical bar ever, serving up lovely fried chicken at no cost all while providing me with upstanding bar patrons to chat with. 4 months later, I walk in semi sober only to realize I had on mega beer goggles and this bar was in fact a dump where most bar patrons are passed out on the bar by midnight. Lesson learned- Walter's should be your last stop of the night. You'll meet amazing people, hear their amazing life stories, watch them do 10 too many shots, then watch them run to the bathroom to yarf it all up and then watch them walk back from the bathroom, wipe the barf off their mouth and make out with their boyfriends roommate( true story) Long story short- if you live in Tosa and are looking for a great way to end your night, hit up Walter's for sure! If you're thinking of starting your night off there, well you've been warned. P.S- The bar staff is really awesome considering the people they have to deal with so tip them well as they deserve it!

    I'm not really a dive bar kind of girl but Walters in Tosa on 75th and North is our standard for end of night drinks. They have it all - wood paneled walls, greasy bar food, cheap beer, darts, pool, friendly patrons/bartenders and that dive bar smell (spilled beer, urinal cake + grease). Shockingly, the ladies room is redone and quite nice. You'll have a better time at Walters if you're ending the night up here and have had a few already. For example, one St Pat's we ended up here after a LONG night at Derry's. My sis + I went to the ladies and returned to a free plate of fried chicken. It was from their St Pat's buffet but my sister was absolutely CONVINCED it was magic. Now, Walter's is known to her as the "magical fried chicken bar". I'm pretty sure she threw up that chicken later and it probably wasn't so magical, but that's a story for another time....

    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.

    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.

    Walter's is your typical Tosa tavern. On a Saturday evening you'll find a bunch of locals crowded around the bowtie shaped bar, having one of their 10 or so tap beers. If you're looking for a snack, ask for a 1/2 order of fries, half cheese curds. If it works right the curds explode onto the fries for a snack anyone on this town will enjoy. Make sure you find the dude that rarely works there. According to the regular bartender the other guy doesn't know the prices and charges a lot less.
