If you're in the northwest suburbs and need a local watering hole, the Stanchion is a solid choice…read more Just west of Maple Grove it is a place that is full of both regulars and non regulars on any weekend night. We venture here at least a few times a year and have a blast every time we go! Every Friday the whole bar plays BANKO at 9 and then moves on into karaoke which is always fun to watch. It seems like every evening has something fun, like bingo, meat raffles or karaoke, going on at the Stanchion and there's always pull tabs to play. Drinks are cheap compared to what you'll see at almost any other nearby location. Food is limited to Heggies pizza but Heggies pizza is really the only kind of food you need at a bar! Inside has plenty of space and tables. It appears they've done multiple DIY additions over the years that include a space for darts, party space and patio. Parking is plentiful in the dirt lot with overflow readily available if the main lot is full. It isn't anything fancy but if you're looking for a cheap, unpretentious night out with friends that includes beer, pizza and maybe some bar bingo or karaoke, look no further than the Stanchion!

Every time we give it a chance the music is boring, it's empty (even on Friday/Saturday nights), the staff are grouchy, and the drinks are meh. Simply put, there's nothing special about this bar.

There's a bar, some other table to sit at as well as a couple of pool tables. They make a little pizza in-house which is freaking amazing. Especially when it's 1 o'clock in the morning and you've got the munchies. I did not drive us there and I'm not from the area so I literally have no clue where it is but everyone around the racetrack seem to know of this joint. 100% will be visiting here again

Plenty of bar seating and private tables.

Our bartender was a complete sweetheart. Great service and company.
