Its a review that's years and years overdue! How did I not review the spot where I met my wife over 25 years ago? Oh my, I'm horrible! But popped in on a toasty Saturday and sat outside to enjoy a few beers and fries with a friend. The inside is 110% awesome sports bar with TVs everywhere you can see. The fries were cooked to perfection - and havent missed a beat or lost quality in those 25+ years! Servers were efficient, friendly, and on top of their game. Having outside seating with umbrellas by the tables is such a nice addition if you want to meet up and talk more than watch sports. This spot continues to be high on my list of places to frequent! Next time, I'm taking pictures :) read more

They serve every beer out of disposable plastic cups. I find this very difficult to understand in 2022. The food was disappointing: soggy wings. Same deal with the nachos and chili cheese fries, unappetizing. We did not finish them. Atmosphere and tvs are good hence the star. read more

Went to stadium pub for just some drinks while in walnut creek. After standing around the entry way for a while, was approached by a server who stated it was open seating. Great. Grabbed a table thankfully in the shade of their normal patio. After a while server came back to get our drink order. Basic selection of draft beers; No local craft unfortunately. Service was slow and unfortunately many people would stand around the entrance waiting service for seating. With one server on for the majority of time we were there covering both patio tables and street tables, there really should be a sign telling patrons to seat themselves. We didnt order any food so cant comment on the quality but there seemed to be a nice variety of snacks as well as your typical bar food. read more

Actually one of my favorite watering holes in Walnut Creek. The staff is super nice and this place is really low key and down-to-earth! They have a full bar, a small selection of the usual draft beers (not craft beers), and a full list of bar/stadium foods. Somehow we always end up taking a shot or two here... Just the vibes I guess! Foods: Hot fries - Basically just fries with chili powder, but because the fries are freshly cut daily, these fries taste super fresh. Like In N Out fries, but thicker, crispier and spicier. Calamari - Pretty good, a mixed basket of calamari and fries. Nothing crazy or unexpected. Would order again. The Fire Dog - Your average hot dog that's been lightly marinated in spices. Nothing special and not that spicy. For only about $5, honestly this was expected. read more

My bf and I had a fun time! It was super busy, but we still had great service. Their wings and garlic cheese fries were good. My bf got 2 beers and I got a green tea shooter and root beer which was so good! Shout out to our bartender, Santi, who was so great to us! :-) read more

So I've been here several times in the past, only to watch Thursday Night football. The food is sub par, mixed drinks the same. On this occasion I had asked the waitress what sweet drinks do you have, she promptly said "none" with an attitude. Then she looks at my arm and wrinkles her face, showing her disgust because I suffer from psoriasis. She then asked me for ID, I'm on my late 40's and had already been there earlier. A tiny little corner piece was chipped off on my id and she said that she could not accept it and I was refused service. I've never had issues with that in the past and even if it was their policy it was the way she said it, very antagonistic and totally made me feel like crap. All the other waitresses had always been really nice and I don't know whether this one was having a bad day or if she just had it out for me but I'm never going back there. read more

Just moved into the area and this is quickly becoming our favorite spot for sports, good food, and awesome service. Maria is amazing and we've never seen anyone consistently work so hard and always with a smile on her face. The rest of the crew follows her lead and always a great experience all the way around. read more

Stadium Pub - Sports pub - Sports Bars Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This place is a rare piece of authenticity in downtown Walnut Creek. Not for the Hip Palette although all are welcome. No pretentiousness. The vibe here is authentic neighborhood sports bar. Many TVs featuring all the games on tv. It is a little gritty. It is SUPPOSED to be gritty. Beers and drinks. They have a number of beers on tap. Classics and Micros. There is also a full bar. Food: Classic pub fair is a solid B. My advice is keep it simple. The Stadium dog is well executed. Poppy seed bun, nice dog serves Chicago style with tomato, onion... and a dill pickle. read more

Great sports bar - plenty of screens to catch your various games. Solid selection of on tap and decent enough cocktail options. Friday fish and chips were a little disappointing as the batter separated from the fish but flavor was solid. Wait staff were attentive to without hovering and very efficient. read more

My Dad used to take me here as a kid, to get an awesome hotdog when he used to work in City Hall next door. Amazing sports bar, right in downtown Walnut Creek. I love taking my boy there for a hotdog and garlic fries and sitting on the patio with a cold beer. Great staff, food, and beers with more TVs than sports content available! read more

Food was just ok, and it was really loud and there were a lot of drunk people, I mean I get it, it was a Friday night and the warriors were playing so it actually didn't bother me that much, the service was amazing though, they were really attentive and very kind, making sure things were ok. I would return just for the good service, and to watch sports. read more

Stadium Pub - Good vibes - Sports Bars Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I called trying to find a corned beef sandwich to celebrate my 7% Irishheritage. First I had to listen to a recording for a minute or so before anyone answered. Admittedly it is St Patrick's day and it is a sports bar and the NCAA tournament started the day before so for it to be loud and busy wasn't surprising. A guy answered the phone and I asked if the rye bread had caraway seeds (which is actually what I wanted but is hard to find). He didn't know what I was talking about and changed phones to hear me better but it didn't help so I spelled caraway a few times and he got the spelling but still didn't know what it is. I heard him call out the question and no one seemed to know what he was talking about and the consensus was there are no caraway seeds in the rye. At that moment, a woman started yelling at him to go wait tables and asked hurriedly what I wanted and before I responded she asked again and again. I asked her if she could slow down to wait for my response she said that I keep cutting out and hung up. I called back and got the same lady and she was much calmer and I placed my order to go. She said it would be about 10 or 15 minutes. I go there and the address is on Lincoln on the corner of N Main St so I entered on Lincoln since that's the street address but I walked into an area of high tops and chairs so I go to the N Main St side and there is an outdoor eating area before you enter the main building. I kept looking for a sign or a hostess stand and there was nothing. I see several employees along the way and they see me and not one asked if I needed assistance. I continued on until I saw a side stand and there were three employees, one white male and two white females. I walked up right next to the side stand and no one even looked my way, let alone at me directly to acknowledge my existence. One female then started casually showing the male something on the POS and I waited a couple of minutes and then the female waked right past.me without even looking at me or saying a word and then the male told me while he walked passed me that I should go to the end of the bar before me to place an order and then left. The second female was still there and she finally looked at me and I told her that I was there for a to go order which was right there beside the POS the entire time. She rang me up and gave me the ticket to sign and I left a zero tip and wrote "Horrible service" and left. I am almost 68 years old and have worked in the hospitality industry and have a great respect, appreciation and admiration for what they do but the employees there were anything but hospitable. I usually tip more than required and this is probably the 2nd or third time in my life I left no tip. There are tremendous training issues that need to be addressed as well as a lack of signage and a defined area where customers should go to be seated or to order. Perhaps there is but it wasn't obvious to me. It seemed like the inmates were running the asylum. Their behavior was callous and apathetic at the least and rude at the most. Perhaps management doesn't care as they were very busy and raking in the bucks. I rarely go online to voice displeasure but I couldn't believe how badly the employees need training, to understand the menu and the meaning of hospitality. If I could give a rating less than zero I would. That's how bad was my experience. This review is mostly for management, if they care at ail, and I sincerely hope they take notice. Btw, I got home with the sandwich and guess what? The rye bread has caraway seeds! read more

Great screens / place to watch multiple games (Ex March Madness). Large amount of table/chairs. Typical bar food (fried everything) but kitchen is a bit slow, nice servers/staff and take ApplePay, decent beer selections, limited cider options, meh wine, spike seltzers, full bar and ability to make non-complex cocktails. Decent bathroom for a pub/bar. Chairs could use repairs on cushions. read more

The second you walk in all you can smell is mildew. The employees should call the authorities. They must have it growing in the walls or under the floors. It's so bad. I'm sensitive to smell and I know there is a ton of mildew in that place. It's a health danger being in that place. The employees will have permanent damage working there. It's so bad. Nothing but mildew smell the second you walk in this place. The health department needs to investigate. I see people eating food here also. It's super bad. I walked out just now and will not even get a beer. Straight danger!!!! Holy crap. Just walk in this place and smell the mildew. read more

How do you mess up Pub Food? Came here with a friend to catch up and sat outside. I ordered the chicken nacho's-it was very basic with low qualify (possible velveeta cheese) pored over, no guacamole. Just chips, cheese, chicken and it felt like I was lucky to get sour cream. We both ordered margarita's however it felt like it was just Kirkland pour into a glass with ice. Extra sweet and just ordinary. We also ordered a side of french fries, so why did they come towards the middle of our dinner, cold and soggy? Next time my friends says "lets go to Stadium" I will have his head examined. read more

Service is excellent from the bar. We walked in , took our regular table, and the sweet bartender already had our Pacifico and White Claw in hand. Good job! Fun had by all! read more

I love coming to the pub, I appreciate all the workers especially Santi and Maria. They're truly amazing and I love the ambiance of the games! They always get my food order correct and they know how to properly and efficiently work together behind the bar! read more

Do yourself a favor and don't order any cocktails. They put little to no alcohol in their cocktails. They just want to rip you off by charging for a cocktail when all you get is soda or juice. If you're looking for a drink, expect to have mostly juice with a splash of alcohol (if any). If you just want beer, you'll be fine. Food is just okay. I've come here now several times with some coworkers, and every time it's severely disappointing. I tried politely stating to the waitress that maybe the bartender forgot to add in vodka and just gave me tonic. The waitress didn't get my hint. The next time she came around to take our order, I asked for a shot of vodka and a cup of iced tonic instead. She looked at me like I was stupid, but at least now I had an actual drink. I can't imagine these bartenders don't know how to make a proper drink... maybe the owner is cheap and asked them to purposely make weak drinks. read more

One could say that I frequent Stadium Pub a little too often! During game nights, while leading a group of friends indoors, I inconspicuously search for an accommodating table. Game nights' means large crowds so I use my peripherals for the best seating. In search of an ailment, I usually make my order into the first or second quarter. As it's game night, the trustworthy ciders and beers are requested, with an occasional shot(s) to go along. Once the appetite starts grumbling, I make my food order. Trying to live spontaneously, I tend to pick a new menu item during every visit. Some notable light bites are their sandwiches, hotdogs and fries! For those ritual bar crawls or a date night out, the Stadium Pub is great fun with nice hospitality. Sports fans rejoice, the Pub has an awesome feeling of a sports bar with delicious stadium food to match. Come for sports and their food, leave with a full belly and field goal from your experience! read more

I certainly would never come to this establishment on busy nights -- . They do not have enough staff to handle a full house. Our waitress had a hard time remembering orders, probably because her mask prevents her from getting enough oxygen., which is why most people write orders down. . While waiting for a football game to start, I decided to play chess with a friend and was summarily warned that I must stop the game because the pub does not allow gaming. This was from the owner who seemed to think that we needed to be vaccinated to be on the patio portion of the property. Two stars only go to the waitress who was tipped the customary 15% in situations like this --and she comped a drink for her errors. read more

Wouldn't let us stay because they insisted my Arizona ID was fake in accordance with their outdated reference book. (I'd had the "new" version of the ID for years at this point) We even googled it to prove they updated the look of their IDs but the staff wouldn't budge, which was just weird. It's okay to admit you're wrong. It was mostly just annoying because they caused a huge scene for no reason. No harm done though as there are plenty of other good options in DTWC. Hope this helps for any non Californians. read more

Visited the stadium pub to watch a Cal game with friends over the holidays. Very disappointed. The place is run down and in desperate need of repairs . The restrooms were not maintained and were filthy, lacking paper towels to wash hands. The bar seats are all destroyed and covered in duct tape to avoid the necessary replacement cost. After the game was over I went home with tape gum all over the back of my jeans which were ruined from sitting on poorly applied duct tape. This was not just my seat but rather almost all the seats in the bar. The biggest tv had poor image quality. The nachos were good. Obviously the owners don't care about the business, neither should you. Stay away. read more

This place is great if you have a seat and are watching a free fight or a game on their several TVs. Don't EAT the food here. The Beef was NOT FRESH. The drinks were fine - nothing special. The wine selection was slim, but it is a pub. The staff was friendly. Even though it was early and the main room was filled 3/4s full, it took a long time to get our server's attention. So much so that we were able to flag down another server to get our bill. I might return if I didn't want to buy a fight to watch at home. Most likely, I'll get the fight at home and eat good food instead of coming back here. read more

I usually have their fries and some ranch to dip them in. I adore their fries. The wait service is usually pretty good and sometimes they have free buffet's of food. I'm not a sports bar type so the games are lost on me, but it's a cute little hole in the wall place. The back room used to be the entire restaurant but apparently the old skate shop the front is made up of went under and they expanded. read more

Used to come here after rugby practice and matches. Nice beer selection and a great hot dog. Nice folks. I might journey out to Walnut Creek for a beer again. They should show the Six Nations rugby matches and plenty of beer drinking, but polite rugby fans would show up. read more

Great sports bar in Walnut Creek, actually I forgot, it's the ONLY sports bar in the DubC. Good ice cold beers on tap & decent pours on your cocktail too. Don't expect to enjoy a glass of wine here (best to go across the street for some vino) Friday and Saturdays nights will be very busy by the bar so don't be surprised! They are open during lunch time though I'm pretty sure every day and it's usually got a couple white-hairs shooting the $hit with the bartender. Pretty funny to see I like coming here every now and then for sports (Baseball / Basketball / Football) as they have plenty of TVs to seen almost any game on! Nothing fancy, no lipstick on a pig here, simply just what you expect from an old school bar! read more

Stadium Pub - Watching Tiger make a comeback! - Sports Bars Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I've heard quite a bit about their taco Tuesday special so I had to give it a try. They have $2 tacos (fish, shrimp, and ground beef), $2 margaritas, and $2 Modelos... I don't think you can go wrong with anything for $2. We came here as a large group after run club and we were able to find a couple tables that we pushed together to make one large table. I ordered a fish taco and shrimp taco- note that both these tacos are fried- and you are able to put all the toppings on yourself. I actually really like that idea because you can put as much or as little of a specific topping as you like. My favorite toppings were the shredded cabbage, pickled jalapeños, and this dill tarter sauce. I wouldn't say the food is amazing but for $2 it's much better than some of the other taco nights out in downtown Walnut Creek. Would I come back here? For taco Tuesday %, to watch games for sure, for a nice dinner probably not. read more
