    Chicken burger and fries
    Katie H.

    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!

    Brought 6 friends in to watch football and baseball on Sunday and to enjoy their advertised Sunday, all day happy hour, only to be told no dice.. obvious bait and switch! See photo of their website.

    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.

    Trying to decide if you might like to try out Lord Stanley's? I hope this flow chart helps!

    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.

    Regular Poutine

    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.

    Traditional poutine
    Kati S.

    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.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Lord Stanley's

    Do you have easy access and handicap parking for the disabled? And do you have regular height chairs and tables?

    Unfortunately we don’t have our own parking lot. We have street parking and Diamond pay lots across the street. All the crosswalks have wheelchair access, along with our bar. We also have plenty of regular height tables.

    Is this place kid friendly?

    Yep. Minors are allowed until 9PM (or the end of the last hockey game).

The whole atmosphere is dark, cozy, moody, and feels more like a hidden lounge than a typical downtown bar. Between the lighting, music, books, and dramatic cocktail menus, the vibe alone makes the place worth visiting. We tried the espresso martini, Painkiller, and Bloody Verde. The espresso martini was smooth and easy to drink without being overly sweet, and the Painkiller had that creamy tropical flavor that somehow still worked with the darker speakeasy atmosphere. Keeping it honest though, the Bloody Verde just wasn't for me personally. I can still appreciate the creativity behind it, but the flavor combo just didn't match my taste buds. That being said, if you like savory spicy cocktails, you'd probably feel very differently about it. Service was friendly, drinks came out looking great, and the music really tied the whole experience together. Definitely feels like one of Spokane's more unique cocktail spots if you want something moodier and more relaxed.

The atmosphere was really enjoyable -- the space has a great vibe, the drinks were well made, and overall it feels like somewhere that could become a favorite spot downtown. The food was decent as well, though not especially memorable. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the positives. From the moment we walked in, we felt more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests. The host greeted us while remaining seated at the bar and simply told us to "sit anywhere," which immediately set an odd tone. When I asked for paper menus, I was told they only use QR codes. Normally that wouldn't be a huge issue, but the menu was around 15 pages long with tiny font, making it frustrating to navigate on a phone. Once our food arrived, we essentially never saw our server again. No check-ins, no refill offers, no asking if we wanted another round of drinks -- nothing. Meanwhile, staff members were gathered at the bar loudly talking among themselves and openly complaining about being there, which was uncomfortable to listen to as customers trying to enjoy a night out. Eventually, we had to walk up to the front bar ourselves just to pay our bill. That was the most disappointing part because the restaurant truly has the foundation to be excellent. The ambiance and drinks are already there, but hospitality matters just as much as the food. A little attentiveness and genuine customer service would have completely changed the experience. We absolutely would have ordered more drinks and likely stayed longer if anyone had checked on us. Hopefully management takes service more seriously, because this place could be great with the right staff culture and attention to guests.

Most recently, on a Friday evening around 7 PM, my party was seated near the end of the bar by the restroom area. A server approached me in a confrontational manner and told me to move my chair because it was blocking the walkway. I immediately complied and moved it where he directed. Despite that, he repeatedly pushed and squeezed past the chair in an aggressive way several times afterward and then returned to confront me about it again. The interaction felt hostile, unnecessary, and unprofessional. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated incident. On a previous visit, a female server was rude and controlling toward our table, and on another occasion when we were unhappy with a menu item, the response was essentially, "You ordered it, you pay for it," with no attempt to address the concern professionally. The atmosphere is great, which is why we've continued to come back. However, after several visits involving rude and confrontational interactions with staff, it feels more like an ongoing culture issue than a one-time bad experience. I don't expect special treatment, but I do expect basic courtesy and respect. Hopefully management takes these concerns seriously and works to improve the customer experience.

It came with some fries and a dipping sauce that always was a good adjunct to the burger.
