Best WLM Reviews

This place great to hang with your friends or family. Great bartenders! Stop into eat or have a drink or two.
All handicapped accessible!
I work downtown and love to experience different places for lunch. I enjoyed a delicious Checker Burger and fries, great price, especially for downtown.
A friend and I came in for the Rotten Route Event. Upon arrival, it was unique in its decor. Upstairs has an arcade. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try these burgers, I've heard so much about them. We only came in for a drink before leaving on the bus. Service was fast, prices were fair, and drinks were just right! I will be back to try a burger for sure!
Checker Bar was an amazing surprise today. This place is really cute, clean, and fun. The checker burger was hot and tasty with a great roll and fresh toppings. The fries come hot and crisp and (thank you) not over salted. The onion rings are the best I have ever had and the pizza....yummy! The service was warm, friendly and efficient. The general manager chatted with us several times to make sure we had what we needed and she was very attentive and friendly. She mentioned more than once that she appreciated our business and she meant it. Great experience overall. We will be back.....soon!
This place is so awesome! There are two floors that you can go back and forth. Bars are on both floors. The top floor has TONS of vintage arcade games and tables to eat at as well. There are even little tables set up throughout the floor, so you have a place to set your food and drink while you play! This place probably has every game you can think of! The staff were friendly, attentive, and kind. The food was 10/10. Ordered pizza, chicken parm sandwich, and the garlic knots. Will most definitely be back!
I went for lunch. I ordered a personal (small) BBQ chicken pizza. It was SO good! It was thin crust, extra cheesy, and the bread was sweet. It was big enough for two people. It's a little spot, but it's super cute inside. The lunch rush came in right around 1230pm. There's a full bar. It's definitely worth stopping in!
We had the best evening when we randomly chose to spend our time at Checker Bar! The service was fantastic! The server was informative when we inquired regarding unique beer selections the bar offers & helpful with our questions regarding menu items. We ordered a variety of food for our table to share. The quality & taste of everything from drinks to appetizers to entrees was outstanding! The establishment was clean, warm, & very inviting. Perfect relaxed environment! We for sure will be planing to return soon & will be highly recommending Checker Bar to friends!
Checker Bar used to be a great dive bar, but they are currently transforming into a bar that's not so "divey".
Still a great atmosphere. Great location. And the staff is friendly. Depending on which bartender you get they also have a detailed knowledge of the drinks available. Still a great place to grab a pizza or go upstairs to grab some slices and have some fun.
