"Crowded but relaxed bar with a chill clientele and very busy staff. It's loud but not head-pounding and and the prices are good. Food and drinks are also good, especially the hot pretzel. Lots of pinball games plus a few other arcade games, indoor and outdoor seating, and a fun vibe."

"Love love love coming to Walt’s. We got a couple of hot dogs and a pretzel to share and had a great time! I love how they add brown mustard to the hot dog - most places use yellow mustard. The bartenders are friendly and quick to take your orders. There’s usually a line out the door in front of the cash register but you can order from any bartender from the bar.
The beers add to the vibe but I didn’t see any wine on their menu (I also didn’t ask do that might be on me). The signage outside is super cool and the decor is eclectic and fun. We loved playing rounds of pinball. $0.50 gets you 3 rounds of pinball so it’s definitely a cheap and fun time."
