In Short – This is the tip of Pam Robinson's triangle of bars which also includes Silky's (next door) and Fat Cat's (across the street). The tap beer selection is limited to Bud and Bud Light and top-shelf liquor is scarce. Order a domestic beer instead; they're always reasonably priced. Any time after 5pm on a weekday, you'll find a core of locals sitting at the bar sharing stories about work and life in general, while watching the huge 62-inch big-screen TV.

Craptacular Venue

The door guy there is a rude dude! My friend was performing there and we where on her list. He said unless we where performing we had to pay. I said fine and paid for me and my guest. I tried to be nice anyway and make a joke, he was like um..... yea whatever. From the minimal crowd i guess they needed the money! The restroom was disgusting, parking was a joke! In short, if your looking for a hole in the wall, where the restroom smells like fermented urine, the bar has a very limited selection, and the door guy is a rude , this place is the spot.
- Pros: live music
- Cons: door guy, parking, restrooms

i went to Walter's to see my boyfriend'sband,and as an onlooker i didn't think the service was that bad...other than the fact that there's no re-entry if you're under 21. talking to my bf afterwards, however, i found out that they treat the bands like...well $h!t. the sound guy acted as if he didn't want to be there. the bartender seemed annoyed if asked for a water cup and they were constantly nagging the audiencefor accidentaly unplugging the cords, when in reality it was the venue's fault for ahving such a poor set up.
as for the a/c, well yes, it $uck$ and it's very hot in there and with everyone smoking...well you can imagine.

I can't breathe in here.

Walter's on Washington books some great indie bands. Unfortunately, they don't invest in making the experience of hearing these bands worthwhile. Not only is there too little air conditioning, but you can hardly breathe in the place once it fills up. It is just downright stagnant. Also, they really need to invest a little more into improving the acoustics of the room. What good is a concert if you can't make out even one word of the singer? With all the recent development and improvements on Washington, this club could really shine with a little more investment. As for now, I'd rather attend a concert at a venue where I don't start to feel faint due to lack of oxygen.
- Pros: Good indie bands.
- Cons: Poor ventilation; bad acoustics.

Walter's isn't the type of place you'd expect to see Grammy winners Flaco Jimenez and Augie Meyers live, but both have played here and probably will again.
