Walter's looks like a building from the wild west and it's common for a brawl to break out during a hardcore show. This is a low-brow venue where a lot of local and national underground acts play. The venue averages about 5 shows per week and the bar is kept simple: don't order a drink with more than 3 ingredients, or anything involving "pucker." Order a beer and a shot, then sit back and watch people talk during bands sets' or head outside and enjoy the patio, which is littered with cigarette butts. Walter's is smack dab in the middle of the "new and improved" Washington corridor, and it goes without saying that all the new posh clubs just love quirky old Walter's.
