Wally's Wisconsin Tavern — Restaurant in Denver

Leaving WI for CA as we travel the country for work, we had a craving for some fresh water fish. Yup, we're originally from WI, and while driving thru Denver, we found this establishment on google! We were beyond excited! We are also tournament fishermen & and self-proclaimed fish connisuers! 🐟 Upon entering, We were a bit confused as the Wally's I'd connected to a German restaurant, so there's two different doors outside, but access to both inside. I'm not sure the German restaurant and Wallys did both because there are definitely a lot of Germans in WI as well as Irish. 😅 Sat down on Wally's bar side first. Wonderfully decorated as any back woods WI bar. Deer 🦌 mounted on the wall n all. As any normal wisconite, I sat down prior to eating and asked if he (the bartender) made a good bloody Mary. He and his friend stayed at the bar, giggling, and said I mean, it's pretty easy." " You can't mess it up! Wrong bar keep you certainly can I informed him. The western United States 🇺🇸 does every day! 😅🤭 and he most certainly lived up to my words. It's a bit dark on that side & since we were driving across the country, we needed to stay awake, so we went to the connected bar, which was much bigger and well lit. The German style restaurant (forgive me as I can't remember the name) was extremely clean, as were the restrooms. Our bartender, who I unfortunately forgot to get his name, was amazing. No matter how many people were seated at this large bar area, He not only kept up but also provided great customer service skills to each and every customer. Of course, we ordered the walleye! My husband did the AUCE & while I ordered the reg meal. I'm not sure if the owner is from WI, but I'm guessing they are. While I lived in CO years ago, there seemed to be a lot of people from WI & even more Packer fans! Anyway, if the owner is from WI, they need a quick visit there to remind them of the traditional fish fry experience. 🤭 When the fish arrived at our table, we immediately noticed the heavy breading and way overcooked. I mean, really overcooked! We tried a bit but it was just thick, dry & burnt breading. We couldn't do it. We talked to the bartender who also said he noticed, so he went to the kitchen requesting more fish, preferably not burnt. Not long after he brought out another plate of fish, and again burnt. He even said sorry this one is dark as well. He placed the plate down and returned to the kitchen for yet another plate of fish. The 3rd plate was more appealing as to not being burnt, so we appreciated that but as soon as we each bit into our fish I about gagged. Both of our fish had the blood line still in tact. Nope, I can't do it. Between the thick breading, I couldn't taste wallye even if it was decent, bones galore and the bloodline we couldn't do it. May want to check into a new distributor with new recipe, please. C'mon WI needs to represent 👏 🙌 we will take the owner fishing on Lake of Green Bay & Lake Erie and then make them real WI walleye and bloody marys! They won't ever look back. 🤫🫣🤭 I will say that the coleslaw was phenomenal 👏 great job! I over did it on that since I couldn't eat the fish. Oh BTW what kind of malarkey is this toasted rye shenanigans 😜 🤔 I tried figuring out where the toasted came from, I know the Danish do it. Germans may toast for breakfast sandwiches 🥪 but nope, I never had toasted toasted rye with fresh water fish. *Fun fact- rye bread was originally served with fish (not toasted) as a way or place to keep bones. Again, thanks to the amazing bar tender who did everything to make the...

I visited Wallys before an avalanche game last week before and after the game. Obviously since I returned after the game our first experience was fine, we just had a few drinks and apps. We returned after the game, sat up at the bar. First off the bat tender, which I found out later was the bar manager, totally ignored all 4 of us, so we grabbed some popcorn from the machine next to the bar. Let it be known, there were only 2 other people besides us at the bar and it took her upwards of 10 minutes to acknowledge us. She finally took our orders and that was the last time she looked in our direction for 30 minutes. Talking with her staff, filling fruits and drink and just being nonexistent. We had empty drinks for 10 minutes so we decided to get the check and move on. Once she dropped the check, I paid promptly. We chilled for a sec and chatted with each other, she grabbed the check without saying a word, no "thanks for coming " or " see you later" NOTHING. I approached and let her know that I was disappointed in the service and she was apologetic. I talked to a few other people in the industry and they had the same experiences with her. I dont know if Denver is short on Manager talent, but she doesn't need to be the face of this establishment, obviously. I...

I recently visited Wally's Wisconsin Tavern in Denver and had an okay experience overall. The food was decent and the atmosphere was cozy, but the service left a bit to be desired.

The menu at Wally's Wisconsin Tavern features classic bar food favorites like burgers, sandwiches, and fried appetizers. While the food was satisfactory, it didn't necessarily stand out in any particular way. That being said, the prices were reasonable and portions were generous.

The atmosphere at Wally's Wisconsin Tavern was cozy and casual, with plenty of seating options and a laid-back vibe. It's the kind of place that's perfect for a low-key night out with friends or a quick bite to eat after work.

Unfortunately, the service at Wally's Wisconsin Tavern was a bit lackluster. We had to wait a while to be seated and for our food to arrive, and the staff didn't seem particularly attentive or friendly. That being said, they did try to rectify the situation by offering us a free round of drinks.

Overall, I would say that Wally's Wisconsin Tavern is an okay spot for a casual meal or drinks with friends. While the food and atmosphere are decent, the service could use some improvement to make it a truly great...
