We loved that they have hammerschlagen and we often play that! We tried the food for the first time this past Friday and it was really great- we were surprised with how much they have on their menu. The staff there is always friendly and if you aren't sure what to get, they'll help you. One thing I do want to know is if you're playing games it's really hard to get points for winning something in their shop... I played the ball drop game and the mystery amount of points was either 1 or 11? so just ensure you and your kids are looking at that before playing. We also did ax throwing and I really enjoy this because of their digital screen you're able to play a variety of games and really make it into something fun for yourself! The person helping us there was really kind and showed us how to throw the best way so we could have the most fun. Overall really enjoy this place and all that it has to offer! (Especially their beer menu!)

What a fun spot for a full night of entertainment! We came here to celebrate a birthday and it was…read morethe perfect spot to entertain both adults and kids. There are plenty of arcade games as well as axe throwing, mini put and even some free games like bag toss. There are also different food options and a bar for adults to enjoy some good drinks. Be prepared to spend quite a bit of money as the food and drinks are relatively expensive and the cost for the activities also adds up fast but it feels well worth it to be able to hang out for a few hours without getting bored.

This place was absolutely packed when we visited since it was right before a Wild game, but…read morehonestly that just added to the energy. If you're looking for a place to grab food or drinks before heading to the game, this is a great option. The space is huge and so much fun. I loved that it's completely decked out in hockey memorabilia, which gives it a ton of character. There's also a great outdoor patio and the back bar can open up, creating an indoor/outdoor space, which is great for nicer days! Even with how unbelievably busy it was, our server did a fantastic job. They stayed friendly, attentive, and checked in often enough that we never felt forgotten. The one letdown was the North Star nachos. They were decent, but definitely not something I'd order again. All of the chicken ended up piled on one side while most of the lukewarm nacho cheese was on the other, so every bite felt inconsistent. I was also hoping for shredded cheese instead of nacho cheese, and the jalapeños clearly weren't fresh. They still had a nice kick, though, which helped. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. The atmosphere alone makes this place worth visiting, and I'd love to give some of the other menu items a try next time. Just skip the nachos.

Worth noting: We came in as part of a kids sports team playing a tournament in the area…read more All-in-all, this would not be my go-to with a group of kids. If I were still a drinker (which I am not), this is the kind of neighborhood bar I would seek out for an evening of drinks. The good: service was excellent. Our waitress ended up getting blindsided with a very large group just before 11:00 a.m. Were talking 25-30 people, half of whom were young kids. She had every reason to be cranky or frustrated, but she managed our large group with grace and class. Bloody Mary Bar: The place has a Bloody Mary bar, full of fixings. As a former drinker, this would have been a treat. Large space: there is a large game-room area with dart boards and two pool tables. The mediocre: the food was hit or miss. The breakfast was a bit high priced for the portion size. The burger was average. The fries were excellent. Atmosphere: This is a bar that serves food. The regulars are laid back - they were a welcoming group who kindly put up with a large group of kids running around the place. This is not the type of place that I would seek out for an evening with the family. However, it is the kind of place I'd seek out - during my former drinking years - as a go-to neighborhood bar to watch the game and drink copious amounts of alcohol around a relatively friendly group of people.

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!

On my latest visit we sat at the bar in hopes of getting better service. There was only one server on duty (along with the bartender) who showed up just about when the bingo started. The staff and bingo crew were all very friendly. We ordered beers and food. They don't have a huge variety of beers, but they do have a couple IPA's on tap to choose from. The food is fine with some interesting appetizers, but it's not why we go there. It was our lucky day and we won a small amount on a bingo and $$$ on the pull tabs.

The Coney pizza ..for those who are curious...is a pizza with a Coney sauce base, cut up Ambassador dogs (the best kind), plenty of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, and then topped with chopped onions and mustard. It literally tasted like a hotdog...only it was pizza. Just terrific! It was a good day and we'll be back again and again. Again, it's not a fancy place...it's a comfortable and friendly place where you enjoy an afternoon or evening with your fellow humans. The best kind of place :)

Oh man. Where to begin... I've been going to tappers since 2010, before I was even 21. It was the…read morespot for the neighborhood usuals and it was a great atmosphere. But as the new owners have taken over, things shifted. Generally it was fine but in the last couple months things have gone downhill. The last straw was when I went in for a single drink with a friend, early in the evening and when we got our tabs, we filled out our receipts and left our tips and went on with our evening. The next morning, I was called by my bank about a suspicious tip amount that I had recently left (aka the evening before). These cheapskate cheaters and thieves working at the bar had changed my tip amount egregiously. On one single pint, I think I paid $7/$8? And my tip amount was over $30 making my one beer almost $40. If that is what tappers has become, it is no longer that quaint and unique neighborhood dive bar that Chris and Steve had bought back in the early 2010s. The icing on the top was that one of the owners was actually our bar tender that evening. Slimey and shady and when we called to inquire, we were hung up on. Let this place go back to the dogs. At least the drunks and townies that used to call Tappers their neighborhood pub weren't stiffing the customers.
