Wally's Bar and Liquors

Decent bar with decent prices for drinks. Nice look inside but can get cramped very quickly. I do like the fact there are two bars. For some reason they had to check ID twice (once at door and once at bar).

I came in on 11/30/25. They check my id at the entrance! The girl at the bar tonight with the blond hair ignored us when we were trying to order drinks! Then proceeded to ask us for id again and be rude about it! I just feel like she’s racist! If you are asking people for there ids at the entrance why do I gotta show it at the bar again?

Wally's Bar on North Mills is an absolute gem! Stepping inside feels like entering a welcoming haven. The ambiance exudes a comfortable and friendly vibe that immediately puts you at ease. The drinks selection is impressive, offering a variety that caters to all preferences. From expertly crafted cocktails to a wide range of beers, Wally's has it all. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, always ready with recommendations to suit your taste. The live music adds an extra layer of enjoyment, making it a perfect spot to unwind and have a great time. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, Wally's Bar guarantees a fantastic night out.

My first time here. Always heard of the old school Wally's. The bartender was personable and attentive. The drinks were stiff. The bar regulars were friendly. Plenty of seats/tables. I would definitely go back!

Went there and had a great time that I had to go there not just once, not twice but at least three times during my time at Orlando. Great price for drinks. The locals are great and amicable. The bartenders are also friendly and go out their way to make you feel at home.

It ain't the same Wally's, but the new decor is chic and elegant. We need more beer selection and drinks' specials. Staff is great and very friendly. It is to sophisticated for most of its past clientele. Wally's is Back!?

First time here, the atmosphere is perfect to have a drink, relax, and socialize. Several cocktail tables, two bars, five TVs, touchtunes jukebox, darts, leather high chairs, and outdoor seating. Pam was the beautiful bartender that took care of me today. Opened in 1954, this dive bar seems to be nostalgic and relaxing. Very clean and a well lit bar top.

A very easy going environment close to downtown, without being downtown. There is no dress code, so come as you are type of vibe. Must be 21 or older. If you just need a chill spot with cheap drinks for you & your friends...this is your place. Bar tenders are cool, and it's a fun environment. The music depends on who makes a selection on the jukebox. Depending on the song, classics could have you in a sing off with the people across the bar. It's that type of fun

Wally's is a staple dive bar on Mills 50. They have their own parking lot, but space is limited. Great thing about Mills is there is plenty of street parking and lots of parking in the neighborhoods nearby. Great spot for cheap drinks and LORD do you get a heavy pour here. Bar is pretty small and has usually a few bartenders, have never had to wait too long for a drink unless they are slammed busy. They have darts in a corner and a small bathroom with only one stall for ladies, so keep that in mind if you have an acorn sized bladder like i do! Always a nice chill time every time I go. Check it out!

Such a fun bar and respectful people. Tonight I had a sour stomach... Idk if it was the drinks or the calamari or the burger either way... it had to come out. The ladies there were super nice on letting me handle my business in the bathroom. Too much right?!? Hey, this is why I like this bar. THE PEOPLE ARE JUST THAT AMAZING. I've been here before for drinks and still a great time. Tonight I was on a water mission while I whipping that ass on my favorite bar game: DARTS! I won twice. *insert curtesy* The establishment is inviting inside and out. Lots of parking & just a great time to hang out with friends or by yourself.

SERVICE: 2 FOOD QUALITY: N/A DRINK QUALITY: N/A ORDER TIME: N/A AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 3 MENU SELECTION: N/A OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 3.33 So, brand new to the area, and I'm a huge soccer fan so I needed to find a place that was streaming the World Cup finals. Luckily I was able to find Wally's. When I got there the place was jam packed, but only had 1 bartender behind the bar. There were so many people at the bar that it was impossible to order. I just wound up standing in the back, and watching the game. For huge events like that they might consider bringing in more staff? Aesthetically the bar was clean and beautiful. It is located in such a great part of town, and the bar looks like a great place to hang out with that old school dive bar feel. Naturally the noise level was high due to such an outrageous game. I really want to get back here, and try some drinks. Thank you, Wally's, for streaming the game. #argentina#1#messi#1!!! I promise I'll be back so that I can give a proper review once I'm able to get some service, and a drink.

If you know Wally's - *you know*. And if you don't - go check it out for a super low-key and chill vibe. This place is an establishment in Orlando, and after the renovations, there's plenty of room for you to hang and grab a drink. Wally's is a classic dive and serves awesome, cheap drinks with a smile. Pop in for a drink, or stay for a while, but you'll be glad that you did.

Wally's Bar and Liquors is as much an iconic landmark as it is a dive bar. Wally's Bar and Liquors has been here as long as I can remember and I have been here since 2001. Wally's Bar and Liquors has been an Orlando, Florida institution since 1954. That's a long tome and a lot of drinks. The staff is friendly and the conversation with the other customers was typical fun bar conversations. It is interesting how varied the conversations you can have in bars. It can be a lighthearted conversation all the way to some in-depth and deep conversations. Wally's Bar and Liquors has seen Orlando throughout the generations. To keep how long Wally's has been here, when the bar opened back in 1954, songs like "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and his Comets, "Earth Angel" by the Penguins, and other songs like it were ushering in a new sound called rock and roll were getting teenagers to tap their feet. Eliis Island closed as a point of immigration. Marilyn Monroe married Joe DiMaggio. The world saw the first mass inoculation against polio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "On the Waterfront" and "The Caine Mutiny" were in movie theaters. The world certainly has changed. Yet, Wally's Bar and Liquors is still here. That says a lot. Wally's is an iconic place and someplace you should definitely check out if you are in Orlando.

Three years later, I am leaving a new review. This place is STILL fantastic. There is nowhere else in town you can get a martini for $8 that is straight vodka and worth the price! The bartenders are friendly, you can play your own music, ant the vibe is cool. 10 out of 10.

We had drinks here and loved the retro vibes. The bartender was so friendly. The drinks were strong and the crowd was really fun. Plus they have a jukebox!

Wally's is a nice neighborhood bar. I was walking around dropping into random places and this place was a welcome hideout away from the Florida sun.

Wally's has been a good to spot for me for many years! The service is always on point! The ambiance has changed over the years.. I love when they do food truck nights!

Great to see the new Wally's. The new owners kept the Vargas wallpaper and enhanced the overall design of the bar. Well done!

This place is absolutely amazing Bartender is beautiful and make strong drinks will definitely come back more often.

Wally's is a great local spot, the place is consistently packed and if you want a chill vibe type of place, Wally's it is. I love that they always have good music in the background. Also you have the option to sit outside in the patio area. If you are in the mood to play darts, you can do that as well. Yay to awesome drinks and a good time.

I am always down to have a good time and grab a drink with friends, and this bar was so great. it was inexpensive, clean and the bartenders are the coolest people! Shout out to Terri for being my bartender last night. She was so helpful and I will be back at this bar again!!

As I was attending the one year anniversary of Orlando parking lot party, I walked in here to use the bathroom. I've seen this place only driving by buy but have never been inside. I will say although the food outside was great, this bar was busy and for me it looks like a hidden gem. If it wasn't that I had my kids with me I probably would of taken my food inside and probably closed this bar. I definitely need to go for another occasion. Thank you for letting me use the bathroom!

4 Stars for an updated Wally's that may not have the same divey-vibe, but you won't have to burn your clothing afterwards from the cigarette smoke. It's been a minute since Wally's closed, was bought up, and renovated, and I've yet to visit the newly-updated bar. I'm a sucker for nostalgia and was kind of bummed that it was changing, but once I got over my internal little hissy-fit, I was glad I'd given it a shot. Right when you walk in you'll notice three things: 1- The signature wallpaper has been preserved. 2- It doesn't smell like an ashtray anymore (PRAISE) 3- Wally's is still intentionally dimly lit, but everything looks clean and new. Part of me was bummed about the last two, but then I realized the smell and grime would sometimes keep me away from Wally's because it would take days and 5 showers for me to smell like myself after a night out there. Our bartender, Lee, was a pleasure. Super friendly and efficient. Now, I'll reveal the other big change. They measure out the liquor... the old Wally's pour of days past are just that- past. To clarify- you get a fair pour. Quick anecdote now that there's new ownership: Back in the day, some friends and I closed the bar and the bartender gave us water bottles filled with White Russians TO-GO. Lol ahhh, those days are gone. (Probably a good thing... damnit) Two final notes: - The bathrooms have also been upgraded. My previous visits (pre-update) always left me squatting precariously over a very unattractive toilet, with one hand on the door holding it closed because the latch was broken... So I'm a big fan of this change. - It's still a bottle store, but be aware that it's priced by demand in some cases. I saw a bottle of Blanton's and asked if it was for sale. Lee looked it up and it was selling for $250 a bottle. Um. It should retail at ~$60, so this was definitely priced based on what bottles are selling for on the secondary market. Same with a few other more rare bottles they've got. Overall, a great experience and a really enjoyable time chatting with the bartender. I wanted to stay bummed about the changes, but it's actually a much more enjoyable experience.

This bar is a lot of fun! They have an outside area and inside with darts as well. Bartenders were fast!

Great place for a Parrothead (Jimmy Buffett would love this bar). If you're ever there and Pat is bartending, do him a solid and put on "Cheeseburger in Paradise", it's his favorite. Sometimes it gets him so excited he'll buy the bar a round of shots.

I love dive bars and this is one of the best I've seen. First of all, it's also a liquor store so they've got that going for them. The patrons seem to be local, friendly, and unique. And the staff, well Cindy, is amazing! She is the biggest sweetheart and makes everyone feel like the king of Mills Ave. She's like the den mother that also helps you get hammered and makes sure everyone is having a great time. Speaking of the drinks, they're cheap as all get out and stiff as a board... dare I even say too much booze? No, I don't dare. In the two nights, I was there I never saw an empty drink or a full ashtray. Cindy even took a special drink request and made it just for me! I asked for her hand in marriage but she sadly declined. I hope our group pic ended up on the wall so she can remember out magical time at Wally's forever. I have a new friend in Orlando and I'll be back the moment I find myself in town again.

Stopped in for some drinks and what a great orlando gem. The remodel is fantastic and the servers are fun and fast. Definitely a great local vibe to bring friends too as well as just stop in for a drink. Great that MX Taco was there as well!

Quintessential dive bar without the sordid divey crowd. One of O-town's oldest if not "the" oldest bar here. Service is always friendly and the tight space around the bar lends itself to a more communicative experience. You'll meet all sorts of interesting or uninteresting people depending how you see it. Unpredictable, very varied crowd. Hijack the jukebox for some really good fun! Solid four for having lots of character and really good strong drinks. $4.00 Captain and Cokes. I like to pop in and out whenever we're nearby though I wouldn't make it my whole night. They do package store business so if you're needing a bottle for whatever reason on the fly, you can get it fast and for just a few dollars over retail (like when you used to be able to byob over at Tako Cheena). Bring money. Cash only.

TLDR: It's closed now...but I had one pretty magical/weird night there. ____ Wally's was the quintessential dive bar. Dirty. Cheap. Friendly staff. My friends I went with loved it. But I have a major distain for smoke and the fact you can smoke cigs in here, is the mean reason I didn't love it. I did enjoy a cold beer while chatting with my friends I only see a handful of times per year. There were a ton of beers in the coolers next door. You could actually just go and pick a beer out. When I heard of it's closing our group chat was on fire. Some were in tears. We actually passed by just last weekend as I was in town, and remembered the one magical night where my friends got hammered by stiff cocktails, and we stumbled home, smelling like a Vegas casino in the 70s. RIP WALLY'S

Unglamorous, kitschy and smoky...Super strong drinks and crazy hours. They open at 7:30 a.m. but hey it's 5 o' clock somewhere, right? I feel like Wally's doesn't get enough love. This is an Orlando landmark. It's a low-key, fun ambiance. All age groups visit this classic bar. Music is provided by the ITunes jukebox, and patrons play music non-stop. This small bar keeps it old school. It is cash only, and their naked ladies wallpaper is from the 1970's. So, just go and visit this unique and historic bar.

So been a while to make it back and wondered what they would do. They managed to keep all the charm of the decades gone by but a more open feel. Still authentic Wally's just less the smoker crowd. The crowd was the best part. Gay/straight/young/old(3 lovely ladies looked every bit of 80years old),,,literally a melting pot and exactly representative of our amazing diverse community.

Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name, and sometimes you just want drinks that are hella strong and hella cheap. Wally's checks off the latter boxes and I promise you may forget your own name by the time you leave. Stopped by for celebratory drinks after Andi P's Yelper Party and two hours later stumbled out. This place is a dive bar. There is smoking allowed inside, the bar is decorated with wallpaper of naked ladies, the beers are served ice cold wrapped in wet paper towel to preserve the icey-ness and the cocktails....the cocktails are more liquor with a splash of mixer (light on the mixer). Wally's has absolutely no frills which is perfect for a dive bar. You can come as you are, enjoy time with friends and maybe work up enough liquid courage to request $10 worth of reggeaton music in the juke box (not the vibe of the bar, just FYI). Shout out to Cindy for being a fabulous bartender! You took care of our rowdy group all evening flawlessly. Fair warning: you will smell like an ash tray when you leave but it's worth It.

After many recommendations, I decided to try Wallys out. I've never been to any of the bars on Mills, but I will definitely go back. We were able to find great parking right across the street. We walked in and the ambiance and decor was right up my alley. The bartenders were all super friendly and the drinks were strong. We went on a Thursday night around 11 and they had late night happy hour with $5 mules and $3.50 wells. I will definitely do back soon

Not same original Wally's. I'm going with John Morgan's review: meh depending on mood. The environment went from dive bar to less formal kind of speakeasy. They offer some good cocktails but not on that kind of sticks out. I do blame on my timing. It's one of those places where you might be semi up for it depending on your vibe. It's more of 70's or 80's nice bar. I would definitely visit again. I am glad that they have food trucks around in the parking. Nice add. Especially when we arrived at 6pm, it wasn't dark enough to get food on Mills but the truck are good for snack.

Wally's is always a good time , no matter your flavor or scene, opens early closes late, anytime I have friends come in from out of time it's one spot I always show them, and they always ask to go back.

Bartender on Sunday Am decided to take my credit card receipt and add a $20.00 tip when a cash tip of $5.00 was given on a $23.00 tab. So dishonest!

Strong drinks,solid music,good service and bay watch on the TV 24/7. If you can make it up there when the Pizza slut is doing her pop up, go then! Damn good pizza and garlic knots!

Whoooie what a drink! Guy at the door was super cool, but definitely had an eye on things. Found seats immediately at the bar. We're greeted promptly and ordered cocktails. So here's the thing; they make them stronger here than you do at home and the prices are reasonable. Yes there is some naked lady wallpaper, being an artist myself I'm gonna make a call and say it's Art.

We went in for a couple drinks but the service was terrible! We were completely ignored by the bartender. We had to flag him down in order to get a second drink. Also, the price was very high. 4 draft beers cost over $28. How does that happen?

It's baaaaaack..... Wow. Where has the time gone? Wally's with the old bartender gals and the stinky-smoky environment and the package store and the stacks of boxes and the cigarette machine and the condoms in the closet-sized bathroom and the eclectic group of various miscreants all getting their drunk on. 'Bout time.

Oh, Wally's. You gotta love this place. It's cash only, but you get a heck of a pour. If you order a whiskey ginger, expect to get a whole lot of whiskey and very little ginger. If you like fancy drinks, this place isn't for you. If you're looking for a good way to start your night with some stiff drinks, Wally's is perfect. The bar is in the back and there's normally two bartenders who call you "sweetie", no matter who you are. Or if you just need to pick up a few bottles of something, there is a full liquor store in the front. The whole place smells like cigarettes so if you might want to avoid Wally's if you're opposed to that. But the smell and the buzz you get will leave you feeling great. I am pretty sure this is where I am going to take my little siblings on their 21st birthdays to show them what a real drink tastes like!

This is the legit definition of a dive bar and I think it fits in well in Orlando as being a playground for adults. You enter, mostly, through a small liquor store and around the corner there's a huge center bar with my new favorite waitress, Cindy. If you are thinking about entering this bar for just one drink, think again. Drinks here are so strong, you will not be able to stand on one leg (yes, this is a Timmism) What I think makes this a legit dive bar is the fact that they have 50-year old condom machines in the toilet. This is a warning for y'all not to try them. The staff and the locals are all in for a chat and there will be no moment you feel alone... or sober

Wally's reminds me of the Park Inn, a since long gone bar in Schodack Landing, NY. In other words, it's your standard, delightful neighborhood toilet where the boozers are regulars and anyone and everyone fits in so long as they can hang. The bartender Jena is no joke and she knows how to pour a solid drink and boot a pain in the arse out of the bar when need be. Old geezers, hospital workers, crack whores, neighborhood townies and the like all come here. And yeah, people smoke here. Get over it. Don't come in...or plan on a shower as soon as you get home. Sip slow because you don't want to end up puking in the bathroom. Be careful not talk to the drunks but beware it might be hard, given how randomly entertaining they can be. Most importantly, get over yourself. PS: The wall paper consists of naked hippies. It's not porn (unless you are one of those people hung up on nudity--in that case don't come here) and it's not really all that seventies. It's just awesome.

Greatest bar in Orlando. I've been obsessed with the quirky allure of Wally's since my first visit 10 years ago. And it hasn't lost its charm. From the ridiculously strong drinks to the naked-lady wallpaper to the hilarious, snarky bar staff to the wildly diverse clientele, Wally's is the most divine dive around. Bring cash. They don't accept cards. But you won't need much. The drinks are the strongest in town. Come here as your first stop of the night. Or morning. They open early. But one beverage from here is strong enough to fuel your shenanigans for a bit. So it's a very good choice if you're on a budget. And you want to get this party started right... and quickly. This gets about 4.8 stars due to one big negative... the smoke. If you have friends who are sensitive to cigarette smoke, take a raincheck and skip this place. But if you love a good dive, Wally's is heaven.

One of my favorite bars in Orlando ! Smells of smoke, they play 80s classic rock, serve cheap alcohol and the server is great! What more can you ask for?! It's also a liquor store, so you can take the party home with you!

ORLANDO!!! BINGO!!! WAllys hosted Orlando bungalowers last night for their first bingo night. It was a night of fun and shenanigans. I highly recommend Wally's and I am not a bar girl. It is a great little local gem. I am glad they rejuvenated this little local bar. They had an amazing food truck called smoke and doughnuts, pretty epic doughnuts topped with burnt ends, heath bar pieces and maple glaze... what? Amazing. You gotta go on Monday to play bingo. COWA-BUNGALOWER!!! (you had to be there to get this) Drinks are strong, staff is great what more do you need? Maybe some epic wallpaper. ;-)

Preserving the old charm while "ringing in" the new. Great dive bar on Mills. Friendly staff and a fantastic selection of liquors. Fancy enough for high balls.

So, some friends of mine suggested we check this place out on a recent night out. This place is super divey. I was like, what have I gotten myself into and where have they brought me? But, the drinks were so good! The wallpaper is like weird 70's porn. It looks like a brown paper bag with naked ladies on it. It was a great conversation piece though. The drinks were great. The bartender was super friendly and super heavy on the pours. This place isn't fancy, but I will definitely be back.

This place is awesome. Very nice inside now and the whiskey bar is sweet. Bartenders are very nice and make a good drink. This place is going to make a huge comeback!

I have grown to love this place. There is a very divey dive bar feel to it. Dark inside and usually pretty smokey too. The jukebox is always going. They sell packaged bottled beer, wine and liquor in the front and there is a bar in the back room. The bartenders pour the strongest drinks in town. Although this place doesn't have the most inviting look, the crowd and the bartenders here are friendly. Please be aware that the bar only takes cash. There is an ATM but then you are stuck paying a fee so do bring cash with you.

Wally's is awesome... When I heard that they open the store and bar at 7:30AM, I knew I had to make a stop and check it out. I work the third shift, so if I ever wanted to go to a bar after work, I was out of luck. I was out of luck until I heard about Wally's! I'm so glad I found out about this place. It was my first time going but I felt like I was going there for years. I had conversations with random people at the bar, which most of them were nice. It was mainly older folk in the morning. They have several flat panel TVs above and they have this cool touch screen juke box so you can listen to your tunes. The lady who served me the drinks made my gin & ginger's and whiskey & coke's so strong..... just like the way I make them at my house. haha. After four of the drinks, I was pretty hammered. So be careful about the drinks if you are a light drinker. The only negative part is that it is a cash bar.... but if you have a credit card you can just go to the sales part of the place and they will give you cash there.

It just reopened and I'm def not a fan of the changes. It's going to drive a lot of the local patrons out.

Wally's has unfortunately and officially closed this morning, first place I had a date with my wife, 64 Years in business

Wally's closes at midnight. But they are open again at 7:30AM for your drinking pleasure. Very much a dive bar. Used to live across the street, yet I rarely took advantage of being within stumbling distance of this place. My friends were an eclectic bunch, and the crowd can be a little conservative at times. Despite the neighborhood, my friends who enjoy an 'alternative lifestyle' didn't feel comfortable. But the pinup girl wallpaper and Wally the standard poodle made this place special. Wally's is also a packaged goods store, so we could stop in for some booze to take home

I had never heard of Wally's before this year's first annual Yelp Drinks Week. It totally reminded me of so many bars that I went to in college. The locals are chilling, everyone knows who you are, the bartenders are tons of fun, and they pour a nice, strong drink. The Wally's Lemonade featuring GT Vodka was delicious. Also, what a great outdoor location to block off and have an outdoor party. They were wonderful hosts and had everything taken care of. And outdoor beer cart, Yum Yum Cupcake truck and The Crooked Spoon was invited. All delicious items. Thank you for bringing me to this location. I will surely be back to start off a friday night :-) Ohh, and make sure you bring cash...and if you don't like dark., smokey, dive bars...go away. not for you.

Strongest pour in Orlando. You will see everyone from business men and their wives or side pieces to bums stopping in to grab a natty light. Bottom line this place is an Orlando landmark.

Oh man oh man! These are the first words that come to mind when describing Wally's. As one of the more well known dives in Orlando, Wally's never disappoints their fans need of a stiff drink. When i first was introduced to this fine establishment, I was overwhelmed by the smell of smoke. But that was quickly eclipsed when I took a sip of my vodka and orange juice. It was at this point that my friends introduced me to the infamous "Wally's Pour"! For those that haven't been there, they serve drinks in tiny glasses. But when they mix it is like 3 parts booze and a splash of your mixer. I would've given Wally's 4 stars but couldn't because of their cash only policy and the overpowering smoke smell. WeatherMan Predicts: 100% chance of blacking out if you spend more than 3 hours here. High probability of having some good stories to tell about your adventures in Wally World!

An Orlando institution. Cheap drinks, cash only, smoke-filled. Nothing fancy, and doesn't pretend to be.
