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!

The owner Austin is an amazing teacher and gave me great tips and tricks on how to axe throw. The space is large with high ceilings and several axe throwing lanes and places to sit and eat.

They taught our staff principals of throwing, fitter us for axes and ran competitions for 90 minutes. They are partnered with a local pizzeria so you can get drinks, apps and food all while throwing in a killer venue. They reclaimed the old rainbow foods cold storage and knocked it out of the park. I highly recommend for fun, for leagues or for private parties as our team had a blast.

Highly recommend Grackle!!

The dry rub wasn't as tasty as I had hoped. We paired with spicy honey mustard (good) and blue cheese (great). I had a pink pony club cocktail which was tasty and I got a nice buzz from. The creme brûlée wasn't the best but it was good. Service was great. I think our waiter was Steve/Stephen? and he was very attentive and friendly. I always judge service on how well they refill my water and he was on it. The restaurant is nice. We were kind of in a back corner which was fine but I maybe would have liked to be closer to the "action".

It was delicious and I wish it would still be available. We also got the Spicy burrata pizza and the spinach dip cheese bread. My dad got a beer flight and I enjoyed the raspberry lemonade seltzer and the apricot mango peach smoothie sour. We went on a weekend so we were also there when you could get coffee and breakfast til 2 so I also got a coffee to enjoy that was also delicious. It was an iced cookie butter latte with vanilla cold foam. It was quite busy inside but we got our food pretty fast and didn't have to wait very long. We did get the last table also available for 4 people and it was nice to be able to have room to sit and enjoy our pizza and drinks. They also have outdoor seating and it's heated in the winter.

The staff are always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I finally had a pizza today, the Cluckin Chicken. I didnt want to make extra work for the kitchen so i picked off the onions. With all the ranch dressing it made it ideal to break off the crust & dab it in it, nice. A few standard tables & high tops. Parking is easy around all sides of the building. I like Omni a little more than i thought i could, is that a thing?

I was a regular at The Lookout before this, and have easily spent thousands of dollars at this establishment, but I will literally NEVER go back. The bartender wouldn't allow us to sign our own tab, so she signed it herself right In front of us, which as far as I know is illegal. Maple Grove has so many options, and this is easily the worst customer experience that I have ever had. GO ANYHERE other than this place. The waitress will yell at you, call your entire group liars, and then kick you out for being upset about it. If you want to be treated for trash, even if you are a regular and tip over 30% every time, the this is the place for you.

Apps were on happy hour and good thing cause they wouldn't have been worth full price. Potato skins were dry. Pretzels and boneless wings were ok. Sloppy Joe's sliders had a BBQ sauce taste to them which we didnt care for. Pulled pork sandwich was ok. There were some fatty bits of meat and the tater tots were over-fried and not worth the $3 upcharge. Mushroom Swiss burger was basic as well with hardly any mushrooms. There was absolutely no vibe inside. The floor was littered with used napkins. It was all a shame too cause it's a good sized space with plenty of parking in a good location but it just didn't work out.
