Walter's On Washington has the distinct honor of being one of H-Town's last true rock clubs. They aren't a corporate operation, no one is sweeping up beer bottles during a show, and no security guards lord over the outside smoking area like so many babysitters. And booze is dirt-cheap, unlike some places around here that put a dent in your merch money just to buy a Pabst. It's dark and cave-like, but the air conditioner is always blasting away like a mofo, so it doesn't get too hot during a show for all you old-timers. This is also an all-ages venue, which is good or bad depending on whom you ask, and the sound quality is amazingly clear for a venue its size. One of the best parts about Walter's location is watching the party girls ogle the indie-rockers from Pearl Bar just across the street, and Lord help them when there is a death-metal show in town.

  • 2010 | Best Bar Atmosphere/Decor

    "Decor?" you may well be thinking. "At Walter's? What decor?" Normally, you might have a point — usually the decor at Walter's is limited to the sign above the stage bearing the club's name. But this award is for atmosphere and decor, and the... More >

    Walter's owner Pam Robinson had been through this before — new neighbors buy in near her previously existing nightspot and start phoning in noise complaints to the police. In fact, she had even been run off a previous location on Durham. This... More >

  • 2002 | Best New Club

    The jewel in Pam Robinson's Washington Avenue crown -- and the nerve center in the three-club cluster she calls Pamland Central -- Walter's is less a nightclub than a neighborhood bar with a stage. On that stage, the music comes from both near... More >

    Walter's owner Pam Robinson had been through this before — new neighbors buy in near her previously existing nightspot and start phoning in noise complaints to the police. In fact, she had even been run off a previous location on Durham. This time around, at her nightspot on Washington, she would take the gloves off and fight back. After some 200 noise complaints coming from one house behind her club, Robinson filed suit against her antagonists, citing tortious interference with contract, private nuisance, harassment, business disparagement, abuse of process and actionable civil conspiracy. Additionally, Robinson promised that if she was forced to close her club, she would open a 24-hour methadone clinic in its stead. All parties, we hear, are playing nice now.
