Okay, everyone needs to realize that Wally's is almost like an Orlando landmark. It is unlike any other bar I have been to. It's about the size of the typical living room with a bar down the middle. They have bubblegum machines that dispense pistachios on the corners of the bar, I don't believe they have been cleaned in 25 years. The wallpaper is... nude women. With all that said, Wally's is about the most genuine place in Orlando to have a drink. The bartender is usually a lady in her mid 40's, think Waffle House waitress, with a potty mouth. Also, there is no way in hell you leave the place without stinking like an ashtray. Even if they banned smoking in Wally's, the walls would still bellow it out from all the years of abuse.
With that said, Wally's pours the stiffest liquor drinks in all of Orlando. If you ask for a Jack and Coke, you will get Jack.... with a teeny splash of coke. If you aren't into stiff drinks, tough, because that's what you get at Wally's. The on tap beer selection consists of PBR, Bud, BudLight and.... Tucher Weissen?? I ordered a Tucher and got it in a mug. Fitting.
The package store that is attached has a limited but decent selection of micros. There are only a few, but enough to keep the locals, myself, happy. There aren't many other choices in the area for buying beer.
If you are looking for a good place to get a good, REAL GOOD, start to your drinking evening, Wally's is a good shot. If your looking to shut down about 1:00AM and need one more good drink, Wally's is the place.

Wally's is truly old school Orlando and one of the last old "downtown" businesses to remain.

Wally's is really a liquor store with an attached bar which is open from 7:30PM until 1AM.

The liquor store stocks a small, but good selection of beers from Shipyard, Unibroue, Flying Dog, etc.

The bar is small dark and often crowded with a fair bit of smoke being worked on by a giant smoke eater. Roughly 6 beers on draft inlcuding a daily draft special like Shipyard Punkin Ale. Wally's is also famous for pouring incredibly stiff drinks for cheap, so this is a real popular joint with folks going clubbing in downtown. Oh and if you like old 60's pinups then you'll love Wally's wallpaper!

Definately a fun place to hang in the downtown area.
