My family and I came in at 3pm with roughly 8 people at the bar. We walked in not knowing but to seat ourself since there are no other postings saying not to. Sat at the table watching the bartender gamble and drink shots with her friends! Not once acknowledged us. I hear this place has good food but unfortunately after waiting 20 minutes we walked out. never step my foot in that door and I'm sure word of mouth goes far.... Get some Real Bartenders that strive on customer service instead of getting tanked on the owners dime!

The bartender told me I…read morelooked 12 years old (not a compliment in your 20s), inspected my ID for a good 45 seconds, and then reluctantly gave it back. I ordered a Moscow Mule, and her reaction was confused, as if she didn't know what it was, despite it being the saturday special. She asked me what kind I wanted and I said whatever house liquor they have or whatever she recommended. She gestured to the whole bar and then suggested blueberry... in a Moscow Mule. And then suggested raspberry. It took several minutes to just convince her to make me a normal Moscow with just lime. My boyfriend wanted whiskey with something else, and asked the bartender what she would recommend to mix in it. After a very difficult and confusing conversation with her while he repeated wanted whiskey mixed with something, she made him what we could only guess was 7up and vodka, though she was very unclear what she put in. Regardless, it was not whiskey. We wanted to pay out right away because we were only having the two drinks. and it was like pulling teeth to let us close our tab. Overall, the whole experience was strange and uncomfortable, and I would not recommend going here.

My experience did not match that of the first reviewer, whose rating and review feel biased and unfair. This place is definitely a dive bar, no disputing that, but it is one of the cleanest, most homey feeling dive bars out there. Stadium is absolutely spotless inside, and it feels much more inviting than most other bars of its caliber. It was neatly decorated for the holiday, has a couple of nice TVs, a pool table (3 games for $1, best price in town), dart boards, and lotto machines. The bar also had some free food and snacks for their regulars. To address some of the concerns listed in the first review, there is no mistaking that this is a military/veteran-friendly establishment. There is military memorabilia and decor on every table and wall, as well as in the bathrooms, and a giant POW flag hanging right by the door when you walk in. The first review also mentioned that the bar was full of locals, and that is correct -- nearly every seat at the bar was taken by folks who looked like they were regulars, but that's also kind of the point of a dive bar, isn't it? Despite not being regulars ourselves, we did not feel out of place or unwelcome. The bartender was also very friendly to us, and even came out to our table to serve us despite being busy at the bar. If you're looking for a clean and classy dive bar experience in Oshkosh, this place has got to be up there. Don't let the first review dissuade you!

Frustrated by Lack of Notice on 21+ Policy…read more We drove down from Appleton to hear a friend perform with the Jazz Orgy and were excited for a night of live music. After paying for parking and walking in, we were told we had to leave because we're under 21. Legally, we've since learned that Wisconsin doesn't allow anyone under 21 in bars without a food license -- so the venue was within its rights. But there were no signs, no online notice, and no mention in the event info about this policy. We weren't there to drink -- just to enjoy the music and support a friend. I understand the legal restriction, but the lack of communication made the experience frustrating and disappointing. A simple heads-up on the website or social media would have gone a long way.

I spent my time in the bar area for a party. The menu looked like it was just pizza. And not a large variation. Small or massive in size. Most of my friends ordered the massive one because it was only a few bucks more. So be prepared to share it take home some leftovers. The bar was stocked with the normals. And happy hour was from 4-6. Double bubble. I live two for the price of one, but I did not want them both at the same time. I found I drank my beers way faster than usual just so it didn't get hot. Next time I will share with a friend. And take turns ordering. When it got later in the night a fella started Karaoke. He was terribly outgoing and even got a little aggressive singing to my friend when he found out why we were there. He was chasing her into the bathroom and didn't take the hint very well that she asked him to stop. Later he explained he has to play the part. Many of us didn't see it was necessary. Also instead of playing non karaoke songs when no was signed up we were stuck listening to him sing song after song from the same era. Some were fun. But this was the reason we ultimately left to go somewhere else. I would only go back if there was a party that I wanted to attend. I know they have other entertainment and will probably steer clear of going on a Friday night. Or I'd try the tiki area next time.
