In the dim-lit halls of Lord Stanley's, where the mead flows freer than a bard's tongue and the night itself seems to lose its way, four companions and I embarked upon a quest not soon forgotten... though, truth be told, much of it was lost to the mists of drink and glory. The tavern stood as a stronghold of revelry--its keepers (whom lesser folk call "bartenders") were masters of their craft, pouring potions of courage and chaos with a generosity befitting kings. Each cup granted us new strength... and steadily stripped away what little sense we had left. Before long, we found ourselves summoned to the stage--a sacred ground where warriors become singers, and dignity is but a distant memory. Songs were bellowed with the fury of a dragon's roar. Notes were missed. Spirits were not. Though our memories falter like a torch in the wind, one truth remains carved in stone: the fellowship was strong, the laughter louder than thunder, and the hospitality unmatched in all the lands. To the noble stewards of Lord Stanley's--we salute you. You guided us through chaos with patience and cheer, and for that, your names shall be sung (loudly, and somewhat off-key) for many moons to come read more

Totally wrong fries for poutine. You need thicker fries and more cheese and gravy. This was a miss. The cook should have a real poutine prepared form them so they can understand the dish. Thin cut fries are NOT a poutine base. read more

We walked to Lord Stanley's from Davenport Grand while in town for an event at the convention center. It is a sports bar so there were many TV's and a bar setting and seating. We posted up at a table near the windows. Service was fantastic, the poutine was great. The place wasn't very full, so we were greeted and served by the bar tender. Very friendly and just what we needed after a full day at the convention center. read more

Atmosphere: it's what you'd expect from a sports bar. It open, welcoming, plenty TVs, and a good location. They also have some games like a pool table and music. Service: Our server was really great and there when we needed her. She did take awhile to get our check (or even see if we wanted it) but other than that she was really on top of it. Plus we weren't in a hurry so it all worked out. Food: my chicken burger and fries were great. Plenty of flavor on the burger and not too greasy. It was really yummy! Great time here - we would visit again! read more

They have poutine!! A rare find. But you have to order everything yourself at the bar apparently. Which is much less than awesome. And they still expect a tip! read more

As a hockey player who has traveled all over the US and Canada with his beer league buddies I'm impressed with this bar. Walked in here unknowing it was a hockey bar at first. Instantly was hit with some amazing hockey decor that brought back memories. We got to sit at the bar with a welcoming bartender and was able point out all my favorite teams with a custom made bar top with pucks in it. Great drinks! Great food! And flippin bubble hockey for free! The games are always on and great specials during. Great place for your friends to hangout and even a better spot to get your partner stoked on hockey! Would recommend! read more

Came here many times during my 3 week stay for work (easy walk from Davenport Grand). $5 Mac and Cheese, great fries and good drink specials and prices. Friendly staff and great theme. read more

Lord Stanley's - a sign in the window of a restaurant - Sports Bars Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Pro: - One of the best bars in all of Spokane to watch big games, from Seattle Kraken to Gonzaga basketball. Even if it's crowded, you can usually get one of the staff to put whichever baseball, football, or basketball game you're interested in up on one of more than 20 screens. - The staff are really nice but they can get slammed - especially on big game nights - and it may take a while to get served. - The poutine is amazing. I think I've had poutine at like 2 or three other places but this is my favorite. Con: There's a regular at Stanley's who looks like a taller version of Gary Coleman (TGC). TGC adores insulting men and then sneaking up from behind and smacking their butts as hard he can with his chubby his little hands -- without warning or consent. The owners of Stanley's, Jesse Koester and Eowen Rosentrator, adore TGC's irreverent, edgy sense of humor, and think his butt smacking hijinks are endearing and hilarious so if you complain, they'll tell you that your complaint is "bullshit" and that you should stop "shitting in their nest". If you tell them you want to see a copy of the security camera footage, they'll cite a policy they made up 8 seconds before which tautologically says they can only share it with the police. Then, if you ask the police to ask the owners for the security footage, the owners will lie to the police and say the footage deleted itself before they could take the three seconds it would have taken them to preserve it. Anyways, this would totally be a 5 star review if I enjoyed having my butt smacked by angry, stupid little dudes, or if I was an angry, stupid little dude who enjoyed butt smacking, or if I appreciated being flat out lied to by cuckoos and cuckolds. read more

Three stars with a bump for bubble hockey, which is a welcome addition anywhere. Review is otherwise based on a late Friday night here, where it was so goddamn loud my eardrums bled and exactly one person seemed to be having a great time and that was the DJ. Hang the DJ. Not making a Morrissey joke. The DJ's name was Hang the DJ. Sorry, actually joking, but it is a great DJ name. Feel free to use under license for 20% of a White Claw and all your french fries. read more

We went on a Saturday in the early afternoon. Wasn't busy, so we got a table right away. Our Server was very attentive and nice. We ordered beer, Poutine, and dessert, and it was all yummy. The atmosphere was good and enjoyable. Would highly recommend you try them out. read more

Great sports bar friendly staff. Watched the playoff football game here. Good group of people. Definitely a hockey bar but lots of fun. Had a good chicken sandwich as well. read more

Love love love the concept of Lord Stanley's and their creative menu! We went here to watch Game 3 of the Avs/Oilers series but, surprisingly, it was only showing on a few of the smaller screens in addition to the big projector which was behind me. I would have thought that during the playoffs, most, or at least many of the screens would have been showing the hockey game, but I found myself craning to see it, which was a little disappointing. I ordered the Quebec 76 (a playful take on a French 75), and it was so delicious, I'm definitely going to try to duplicate it at home since I don't live nearby. We didn't get a chance to try any of their vast food menu (including a whole column dedicated to poutines!), which just means I'll have to come back. The service was a little slow - our waitress brought someone in our party their drink after quite some time and admitted to having forgotten about it. I appreciated the honesty, but wish it would have been faster after that. We ended up having to go up to the bar to cash out because we hadn't seen her for a while. Overall, good vibes, great drinks, service could be better but hopefully will be with time. Check it out! read more

Showed up for lunch and it was empty. Lots of variety on the tvs. Watched a Fastpitch game and ate some pretty good poutine. I ordered the original and while The gravy wasn't a traditional brown like I was expecting (it had a bit more garlic in it), it was good. Fries were well done and a good amount of cheese curds, can't complain. read more

Lord Stanley's - Traditional poutine - Sports Bars Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Night life bar. Relaxed atmosphere. We stopped in for our first time, music was popping, and relatively busy. We ordered mules to start and poutine, gotta love fries, cheese and gravy. Lighting dimmed and crowd increased. It's definitely got the sports bar vibe, with multiple TVs playing various sports. Round 2 of drinks we ventured out getting the Quebec, twas delicious, very lemon limey. This was a great stop after-dinner, recommend trying and coming in for sports and a bite to eat. read more

Nice little sports bar with good food and nice folks running it. Bar keeps are top notch and on spot with good suggestions for beer and drinks. read more

A great place to go once a game you want to see is on. Skip the American style poutine though.

Typical sports bar, plenty of TVs, service is good. The food is okay at best, wings were good but super small, I mean tiny like pigeon wings. The poutine is horrible and the pretzel bun for the hotdog was stale and overall just kind of gross. The beer is cold and it's a good sports bar but I just wouldn't bother with the food. read more

Awesome new Hockey Bar in downtown Spokane. Super yummy bites, great service, and super fun vibes! Definitely worth stopping in. Will be back for sure! read more

Been here several times, and all was good. Tonight, it was a different story - left because of a rude server (Kathryn?) that wanted to have the outside door open with a dude blowing his pot smoke inside. read more

Not sure what the hype is about. I was expecting something more than just a college type bar with basic tables and hockey/beer neon signs. Service was mediocre and the menu needs something other than poutine. I was hoping for an amazing hockey bar, where we could enjoy other sports too with a great atmosphere. read more

What can I say about this amazing bar? Me and my girlfriend go every time we are in Spokane. The bar is amazing, calm and relaxing. The people are so nice and they make you feel welcome. From food to drinks, everything is amazing. Been a customer since they opened and will always go back when I am in town. Hands down best bar in Spokane. read more

The atmosphere is amazing!! But their menu stinks. The gravy on their fries tastes like canned gravy. The cheese curds are decent. The flatbread lacked flavor. Wasn't impressed. We decided we'll eat elsewhere and then go watch hockey there. We really wanted to like it!!! read more

The blonde woman who owns this bar is homophobic. I've been coming here for over a year and really enjoyed this place. On 8/13/22 she asked a friend to come up and call me a pussy, I was confused and he said the owner told him to say that so he could get a rise out of me and cause a scene. Her employee was so upset he asked me to write down exactly what happened. Not to mention her and her bartenders are always hammered. read more

Love this place!!! Was walking by, and the multiple TVs with different sporting events caught my eye. Walked in and was immediately impressed. Great facility! I'm a fan of mules, and Lord Stanley's is definitely one of the best! Their maple mule was AMAZING! Highly recommend! read more

We were looking for poutine for Canadian Thanksgiving. The options here were fancy and fun. The brisket poutine was my son's favorite. We enjoyed celebrating here and will return in the future. read more

I have never actually tried the food at Lord Stanley's but their iced tea is IMMACULATE. I do think that the food is probably good because of people I know have tried the food and recommend it. HOWEVERRRRRRRRR the bathroom is so far away. LIKE DUDE IT TAKES ME LIKE 5 MINUTES TO WALK THERE. Not to mention there's a code. People like me can not remember the code. But ok. Anyways I like it. - from the yelp accounts daughter read more

Great! The food was amazing, great atmosphere. We really enjoyed it. Poutine was amazing!

This place is so live. Y'all need to pull up. Fun bartenders, fun owner, and fun music. Even Lord Stanley himself was there. It was unreal. Come through and do NOT miss out. ‍‍‍‍‍‍ read more

If you're gonna call yourself a poutinery, than I expect Canadian style poutine. Canada has a distinct flavor in it's gravy and doesn't use coated frozen fries. if you call yourself a fries and gravy place, than you can serve it however you want and it was tasty. The space and food was nice for a sports bar, just not real poutine. read more

Cool hockey bar, fun drinks and good food. Everyone tried different poutine and they even have options available at the Seattle kracken hockey games. Recommend to all... especially hockey fans read more

A group of 8 of us from Kelowna were there last week for the Avalanche / Lightning game. We were treated like royalty and met some really great hockey fans. The lady (Katrina) that took care of us went over the top with service; in fact 2 of us wanted a good Cheeseburger and while it was not on their menu she ordered us great Cheeseburgers from a restaurant across the street. We were pleasantly surprised for this great gesture. Everybody in our group was really impressed and we shall return next time we find ourselves in Spokane - Thank You. read more

This place was a great hockey/sports bar when they first opened, and they've only gotten better since. Great service, reasonably-priced drinks, and very good sports bar food. Honestly there's not a better locally-owned sports bar in town. read more

This place got two vibes... early in it's a sports bar and later it's more nightlife but the staff never fails to make your experience incredible. They take TV and Song requests at any given time and the drinks and food are absolutely amazing! read more

This place has a great vibe! I'm not a huge sports fan but you don't need to be one to have a good time here. Great staff, awesome music and affordable drinks. Haven't tried the food but will definitely be back. read more

Only 1 server for the entire place, but she was great!! Food was ok. Menu needs more options. Probably won't return.
