The Wally Tap & Grill

Dora really knows how to take care of her customers! She’s as much a part of the place as their famous wings! A great place for groups, a quick bite, or a cold one while you watch the game!

Great neighbourhood bar. Usually a bunch of regulars having fun… Karaōke, games, sports. Dora is awesome with great knowledge and attitude… Simply love getting a beer now and then at this place

This bar is barely mediocre. They blare horrible karaōke so you can’t hear yourself think. I had a similar experience to Katie, after having one drink I was «cut off» and because I was cut off so we’re the 2 other people at my table. When I tried to talk to the waitress about why she just said go up the bar. So I did for the rest of the evening. I think that was her way of getting out of doing work.

Terrible place for UFC fans! They have a karaōke running during the fights and you can’t hear anything from the UFC. Also if it is a hockey night they favour that instead of UFC and lastly but not least they don’t show the prelim fights…

They have beer. They also have an intriguing sports bar area set up. There is a decent sized flatscreen, with too large speakers, so you can actually hear the game.
My group was less than impressed with the appetizers, specifically 1) calamari and 2) jalapeño poppers. There were only about 4 poppers, surrounded by a bunch of stale tortilla chips.
I would certainly consider returning for a game or UFC night if I was in the area. I’m guessing it’s a 3 or 4 star for that specific situation

The only reason I have it a one star is because they had beer and that was it’s only redeeming quality. The food was awful… we didn’t even finish our meals. There were what I would assume were regulars there because they knew all the servers, that were extremely loud and obnoxious. We could barely hear out conversation over their yelling back and forth. Would’ve been nice to sit on the patio, but all the smokers were on it. The place is pretty gross. If you want to stop for a quick beer it’s ok, nothing more.

I’m a local and I love this place.
Dora, the owner and bartender, is the most bad ass woman you’ll ever meet. She makes a mean amaretto sour. I’ve never had anyone I know have any complaints about the drinks. There’s also a wide variety of beers on tap.
Friday and Saturdays are karaōke nights. It’s a good time, but on occasion it can be busy so don’t expect to sing your life away!
There are tv’s everywhere so for a sports fan it’s a great place! There’s also a pool table and foosball table.
As for food, I’m picky. So I’ve tried a little amount of things on the menu. The chicken Caesar wrap is the best one I’ve ever tasted. Chicken wings are your average bar chicken wings. (Thursday and Tuesday are wing nights but I don’t know the deal). Nachoes are good but there’s tons of lettuce on them. (Id rather more than less). French fries are great. Chicken club, penne, and chicken fingers are both pretty good too. My family cannot boost more about the Mediterranean burger. Also heard fajitas are amazing. (Saturday is fajita night)
Since its a bar and grill I’ve been coming here since I was 12. I love it.

Horrible.
A group of friends and I went to get a couple drinks at the wally. When we got out drinks I accidentally hit my arm on the beer and spilt it all over the place. The waitress told me I was cut off even though I was completely sober. Then she proceeded to tell me if I want more drinks to go to the bar and not ask her.
There nachos were stale also.

Been coming to Half-​time/​Wally for over 17 years and have only had the Wings/​fries. 95% of the time they’re on point. Rare to get bad batch of Wings (however, I have had a batch or two over the years). Only drink bottle beer here (avg selection). Dora’s a machine when she’s running the floor on her own. Tuesday/​Thursday Half price wings –bang for your buck = best wings

The Wally is not far from where we live, so we decided to check it out. It’s pretty much like any tap and grill, both interior and exterior. However when we entered, we weren’t seated (which is fine of course) so we found a seat near some servers (none of which acknowledged us), instead they all just chatted with each other. We sat waiting for 20 mins or so before a server checked on us. We asked for a menu, she disappeared to get one and never came back. I saw her minutes later chatting again.
The woman behind the bar actually had attempted to help us after 30 mins of waiting. By then we decided it was best if we left the staff to their conversations.
Too bad.

Spacious on the inside and decent patio. Food is average and the bar has lots of regulars. New customers every weekend for its karaōke which has good sound quality most nights. If you are looking for quality karaōke, then check it out.

My friend JB says, «It’s a brown bar (what?): you know, lots of dark brown paneling.»
I say, «It’s an old man bar». Sort of crusty, a little rough around the edges, real.
I love old man bars like this one. Lots of regulars. Lots of friendly faces. It smells vaguely of stale smoke. This is an unassuming and down to earth place with surprisingly good food. Their wings are meaty and spicy.
Not a place for wine but I order it anyway. Cheaper than most of the places I go. Would be good for a group – lots of space here and not crowded. Popular spot for watching sports.
The staff remembers me when I come back and what I tend to order. I love this. Hi!

I went to check out the karaōke as it’s relatively close to home. The exterior is plain. The interior is a typical local bar but it is huge. A lot more space than pretty much any other local bar I’ve seen. Above the bar there are three or four televisions on different channels so if you’re into sports I’m sure they can give you what you need. There is a nice patio but it was covered in snow, maybe check it out in the summer. The drinks are slightly over priced for the area. I was charged $ 14 for two pints. Across the street I can get a pint for like $ 5.50. The bartender wasn’t friendly at all but she did laugh and smile at other people sometimes leading me to believe she’s a good person just having a bad day. I’d heard raves about the sound quality of the karaōke show. They were lies. It wasn’t amazing. There was a large selection of songs. Every person will sing what I call an «old man song». Not like quality older songs we all know and love but like self-​indulgent nonsense that you’ve either never heard or don’t care about. I stayed about an hour and a half but it wasn’t my scene. Leaving here is ridiculous. The bus to the subway stops at 10:30 on Fridays for some stupid reason and good luck seeing a taxi. I’ll probably give it another shot in the summer but for now I’m still thawing out from the walk home.

We almost passed up this place because it really does look dodgy on the outside. Checked out the other Unilocal reviews and decided to take a chance. Had the Caribbean Jerk wings, Chicken Souvlaki dinner and the Mushroom Swiss Burger with fries. EVERYTHING was good! As a previous reviewer noted, the fries and wings are great. I doubt I’ll be in this neighborhood again as we were only around here to head to the Science Center, but if I was I’d come back here.

I have frequented this establishment many a night.
The wings I find are on par with any of the other so called «best wing» locales. The staff are super friendly and the beer is cold and filled as fast as you consume it.
Thursday nites have specials for wings and pints.
The place is nothing to look at when you walk in but don’t let that fool you.
It is first class all the way with food and drink and people.

looks like a dive on the outside but on the inside its not as bad as you would think, both divey and the not divey crowd should feel ok here. Nice patio and good inside complete with arcade games, foosball and pooltable, lots of different seating (bars, tables, booths) big place and lots of TV’s I saw the leaders debate here a few days ago and I’m sure it is a fun place during large sports games, like the leaders debate.
I only ate the nachos and wings. The nachos were surprisingly good. Often nachos at pubs are annoying due to the toppings not being stuck to the chips, or the chips being stuck to the plate but niether of those annoyances were present at the wally.
Unfortunately though the wings had some room to be desired. They were sort of dry and a little too toasty (not burnt) tasting on the outside, although the inside was nice and moist and the flavor was ok, but something bothered me about them. Fries were very tasty.
They seem to take pride in their (mostly tropically themed) cocktails, their beers are not on the menu though, I hate this. When I asked what was on tap the waitress quickly listed off about 15 beers in 7 seconds my response was «uh. stella?»
They have an Amsterdam sign on the door but no Amsterdam on tap, this made me mad.
good bar if you want an average experience with some decent pub grub and a nice place to watch the game. Lots of room for all your buddies. I would come here again.
