Best sports bar to watch anything and they will put it on for you. Awesome bartenders who are super helpful. Not a regular but I go there for championship games and it's a big party. The food has its moments, but for good times this place is perfect and in the heart of Walnut Creek. read more

If you're craving a Chicago dog, this is the spot! Always delicious, poppyseed steamed buns and the best dogs around! In need of a spot to watch every game, no matter the sport, this is the place! Great staff, great sports food! Thank you! read more

Absolutely terrible experience. I've been to plenty of local spots in Walnut Creek, but this was by far the worst service I've ever had. The staff was dismissive from the moment I walked in, and it only got worse. They were attentive to other tables but repeatedly ignored mine, even when I tried to get basic things like water or placing an order. What pushed it over the line was the blatantly discriminatory behavior. The way certain customers were treated compared to others was impossible to ignore. It wasn't subtle -- it was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. read more

I had a disappointing experience here. There was an empty seat at the bar, and when I sat down, a man approached me and loudly told me to move. Instead of handling the situation respectfully, he immediately raised his voice. What made the experience even worse was that the bartender also spoke to me in an aggressive and confrontational manner. At no point was I trying to cause an issue, and the situation could have been resolved with a simple, polite explanation. Being spoken to so aggressively over a seat was unnecessary and made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Customer service should focus on treating people with respect, and unfortunately that was not my experience here. read more

Food was fine. Vibe and tvs are fantastic. Service was abysmal. Took over 30 minutes to get service.

Have not been to the Pub in over a year and it's great that it remains constant. Good local crowd for Sunday afternoon lunch and lots of tv's to multi watch sports. The Original Hot Dog is the default, also get the fries. The fries appear to be cut on premise, they are thick, not greasy, filling. The staff is minimal however very friendly and attentive. Love the soda refills which is hard to come by these days. I need to try more menu items to complete the full five stars. Go. Great place to chill out downtown with friends. read more

Stadium Pub - Original Hot Dog - Sports Bars Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

This is the best bar I have ever been too. I have traveled the globe and had pints everywhere I go. I'll always come back to Stadium Pub.

The staff are horrible. The bartender was very indifferent with us. Avoid this place at all cost!! Go somewhere else.

Unfortunately, the service at the bar was terrible. The woman working behind the bar was dismissive, unfriendly, and seemed extremely annoyed whenever women approached her. Throughout the night, it felt like she was much more attentive and welcoming toward male customers while treating female customers with noticeably less respect and rudeness. The difference was hard to ignore and made the experience uncomfortable. Hopefully management takes customer service concerns seriously and works to ensure all guests are treated equally read more

The best place to watch sports! Many TV's and they will put anything on you ask. The menu is bar food with an hot dogs taking center staff. The staff is fantastic even when the place is packed. read more

I've just recently been coming here and I absolutely love it! Im slowly becoming a regular. The food is great but the atmosphere and the staff are amazing! Santiago is always smiling and knows exactly what I'm drinking all the time! Maria and Jake are also amazing! Please if you haven't come here, please do you won't regret it! read more

Our Bartender was great! Just a chill bar. Good vibes! Food is average, simple bar food.

Been coming to the pub weekend nights for a few months now and I can say, Santi is one of the best bartenders I've seen in a while. I need to come try the food but coming here makes me feel like a complete regular! read more

Bad service we ordered a Coors light. It was warm he returned. We got two more Coors lights during the course of our stay there and they charge us for 2805 swearing if you ordered an 805 and it was not an 805. Then they did not charge us happy hour prices. And he ordered frosted glasses. No such thing he drank them anyway, but then we were charged so pretty not nice people. read more

I got severely ill after eating here - 24hrs after eating part of the terrible burger they served (I couldn't even eat a full half it was so bad) I had explosive diarrhea and 102 degree fever for 3 straight days. My diarrhea was so severe I had to go every 15 minutes. I became incredibly dehydrated I needed to drink a liter of Pedialyte for 2 days to restore electrolyte imbalance. I was out of commission for a full week and couldn't even care for my 13 month old daughter. I ended up getting tested at the hospital and came back positive for Campylobacter coli. Note, Campylobacter is typically present in raw/undercooked chicken - I didn't even order chicken here, which points to bad cross-contamination in the kitchen. I'm 8+ days since first getting sick, and I still have diarrhea as my gut is recovering. Management team - please take food safety seriously as negligence has a major impact on the health of your customers. read more

Their only redeeming quality is they do have a ton of large TVs for watching sports. The downfalls are: no a/c so it is blazing hot in there. Everyone around us was complaining about the heat and the cheapness of the owners to not cool the packed place down. The food is awful. I got a blt and most of the bacon was barely cooked. My friend's salad came with no dressing and by the time it came (after asking twice), the chicken in the salad was cold and gross, the lettuce came limp and wilty. There were multiple errors on drink orders, not just at our table. It's a bummer, the place is fun but could be great with a tiny bit of an effort from owners and staff. read more

You want sports? You want bar food? You want great pours and ice old beer? Look no further than Stadium Pub. The lively staff will get to know you and keep you coming back. This is a great little spot and a nice escape from the traditional bar scene in Walnut Creek. There's a bar stool for everyone. Highly recommend. Grab your friends, catch the next big sporting event, and join the stadium pub family. All are welcome! read more

Needs to be deep cleaned. Musty smell inside. Service is hit or miss. Food isn't bad for a bar.

Good Food, Great service and a ton of TV's to watch your sports team. Will definitely go back.

This rating is really for the food.... I used to come here years ago when I was going out a lot in Walnut Creek (but I'm too old to stay out late now ). I am a fan of bar food.... Unfortunately, I thought the food at stadium pub was just so so. The hot dogs are good, that is definitely what I would recommend trying if you come here! The fries weren't great in my opinion. And the chicken wing were a letdown; we ordered traditional Buffalo, and they were anything but traditional (the sauce was really sweet). I wouldn't order the wings or the fries again. The staff here is really nice. The kitchen was a little slow, considering what we ordered. There are ample amounts of TVs here; it seemed like pretty much every sport under the sun was on at least one tv! read more

Went here for the Friday Fish & Chips. The fish was a 10 - fresh, piping hot cod with a fabulous beer batter crust. The "World Famous Fries" were nothing special - maybe a 7 at best. The coleslaw was really good - a 10. The cornmeal hushpuppy was a no for us, but you might like them. The waitress was a 10 - friendly, prompt & attentive. She said she had worked there 8 years - a definite keeper. We will be going back and trying the Philly Cheese Steak next time. read more

A bar to chill and watch games! Jake is the bartender, usually he's there every time Ive been here, he remembers what you drink! Love that! Hot dogs are good... Busy a lot when games are played read more

honestly I thought chipping a tooth on a rock in French fries would warrant a compensation on the overall bill. The server talked to the manager and they decided they would only give us a credit for the fries. They could've fixed this by crediting a pitcher of beer and the manager decided not to. Why was there a rock in the French fries you ask? Perhaps a closer review of their kitchen is needed. So we won't be back to the stadium pub, sadly read more

came here after work, long 14 hour day. just wanted to watch the giants game and recharge from a stressful day, before i go home to 2 toddlers. definitely got way more than i expected. everyone from the staff to customers were such a joy, and the food portions for the price we're unbelievable. i definitely find myself coming in, after work more often since that one happy hour afternoon. the ambiance, the beer and quality is what makes this hidden gem so special! you guys, especially you gil are amazing human beings ! read more

I'm not a fan of sports bars in general so would have never patronized this place had I not heard it is one of the rare places around here that offer natural casing hot dogs that give a genuine "snap" and burst of juice with the first bite. Came here late Saturday afternoon. It was mostly empty except for a small group of very loud men watching some game. I suppose this goes without saying, given it's a sports bar, but expect it be to LOUD. Even with so few customers, my husband and I had to speak pretty loudly to hear each other and we sat all the way in the corner away from everyone else. Had it not been 100 degrees, I think we would have really enjoyed sitting in their outdoor seating area. Regardless, we were there on a mission. Hot dogs! I got the Polish Dog and DH got the Original. I came here with high expectations, which are rarely ever met, but lo and behold, it was everything I was hoping for and more. Not only did I get that elusive "snap", but the hot dogs were prepared perfectly. We're big ketchup people (don't hate us) but we found ketchup wasn't necessary at all. We never associated cucumbers with hot dogs but they really did add a great element of freshness. The hot dogs were so good that we each ordered a second one! Tip: forget all the sides. Just do what we did and go for double hot dogs. The fries were pretty mediocre anyway. Fresh cut maybe but very very limp with no crisp at all. Our waitress was attentive, which we very much appreciated. The price of the hot dogs were surprisingly low -- more than reasonable for something so delicious. Overall, a hidden gem if you're a hot dog lover! read more

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

If you're looking to watch a game (any sport, take your pick), this is a solid place to go to. They have A TON of TVs. The audio was a little funky when I went because they had the central speakers playing the audio for a football game but I could also hear the audio coming from one of the other TVs in the front. Just made for some echoing. Luckily they were playing the same audio. I can see this being a problem if different things were playing. The drinks were strong. I liked that they had alcoholic versions of a shirley temple and arnold palmer. They both could have been balanced a little better because I mostly tasted vodka. I also tried the garlic fries. They had a healthy portion of garlic on them. I wish they were mixed a little better because a majority of the garlic was on the top. read more

Love this place! The vibes are here. The drinks are amazing and so are the wings! Always have a great experience whether it is for futbol or football! read more

Stadium Pub - Personalize mimosas!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Local sports bars were packed everywhere to cheer for hometown heroes, the San Francisco 49'ers playing in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Arriving 4 hours early at Stadium Pub, we were lucky enough to snag the last table. The place was already packed with enthusiastic fans supporting their teams. The atmosphere was electrified with excitement, laughter, cheers and loud music! Stadium Pub is full of pictures, posters and memorabilia covering almost every square inch of the walls with the Bay Area's football, baseball, and basketball teams featuring past and present player favorites. The bar is brightly lit with neon signs and so many items that screams, "This is a local sports bar that love their teams." The entire pub has many large TV screens positioned so fans can watch the games from any location in the bar. It was so crowded, Jake the bartender, was mingling among the fans taking orders, serving the ordered drinks and food. This man is a walking computer who flawlessly remembers everyone's orders! How does he do that? Since we were there so early and we were situated by the side door on Lincoln Avenue I watched the Security Guard, Jidlamy aka "Johnny", skillfully manage and deal with guests, some of whom were a little miffed with having to show their identification before they were allowed in. I saw he used a lot of psychology and charm to elicit cooperation without having to get "tough" with the customer. I was impressed how he took care of business. They serve typical bar food.. You must try the hot dogs!! So good. The deep fried green beans were wonderful, too!! I have to go back to try other menu items. This is the first time I've been to a sports bar since moving to Walnut Creek in 2005 and it was so much fun I plan to be a regular. Oh yeah, our team lost, but it almost didn't matter because I had such a good time. If you're looking for a neighborhood gathering place, look no further than Stadium Pub for a good time with their attentive staff, good food, Patti, the welcoming owner and friendly patrons. read more

Santiago and Jake are dope, always fun at Stadium. Always taken care of when we go there

I've been here a couple of times with friends this past month to watch the Warriors in the playoffs. It gets super duper crowded inside but it's really exciting to be there especially when the Warriors win since everyone cheers loudly and it brings up everyone's energy! They have multiple tvs located around the bar so pretty much wherever you stand you'll be able to get a good view of the game. The only annoying part was one night when we went this lady sitting near the front door asked for my I.D. and asked for $10 for cover charge. I pulled out my I.D. to show her, and this man comes up and says that it's not true that we need to show I.D. and give cover charge. I don't know why this lady was posing as a security guard? I'm not sure if she was trying to be funny but I didn't like how I showed her my I.D. with my info on it if she's not even of authority to ask. ** Updating my review in response to Patty's message. Thanks for the reply! I had no idea she wasn't part of the staff! haha thank you for clarifying! I'll be sure to return with friends for the upcoming games! See you soon! read more

The pretty girl with dark hair and thick accent didn't know what Octoberfest beer was available, turned our chicken and cheese order into a plain chicken sandwich and our buffalo wings into plain wings with ketchup. Plus she was rude. And it wasn't even busy. Lame! read more

The Stadium Pub is one of those places that's great for a "burger and beer" while watching your favorite team on one of the many sports screens placed throughout the restaurant. For me and Gayle, this is definitely not a "date night" spot, although we do know of one couple who met here, and later married. I came in for dinner a couple of weeks ago, while Gayle was off to her book group Christmas event. I ended up watching an NFL game (Chargers vs. Chiefs), while sitting a reasonably distanced high table. Masks were enforced and I passed the mandatory vaccination card check. My selections were a couple pints of the Sierra Nevada Celebration ale, and a tuna melt. I love tuna melts, but this one was just OK due to too much mayo in their blend. The fries were good though. In hindsight, I should have declined the 2nd pint due to the fullness factor. Service was prompt and friendly and it was easy to hang around a bit longer, especially with the next glass of beer. read more

I've lived 10 minutes from Stadium Pub for 25 years. Native Chicago north-sider, I grew up on Chicago Vienna Beef hot dogs. I worked in a suburban hot dog stand, family business was distributing Vienna and other meat to restaurants throughout Chicago, etc. I worked in a hot dog stand in my Southern Illinois college town. Am I revealing my Red Hot obsession? I haven't had a good hot dog in decades! Imagine my surprise that, despite shopping and dining in Walnut Creek, driving past, seeing the sign, I didn't know this place served Vienna Hot Dogs until vety recently. Tried it today. Great sports bar vibe. Several TVs as you'd expect, lots of room, I can imagine packed and fun on game days. Service was excellent. Very friendly bartender; made me want to return, and I will. Excellent hot dog - really hit the spot, satisfied a longstanding craving - I almost ordered a Vienna polish sausage, too. Good fries: to nitpick, some of them could have benefited from another 30 seconds in the fryer. Experience was so good that it even triggered a fleeting desire to go work in the kitchen; that didn't last. Will return soon. read more

4th time... Tried some more dogs Fire Dog $5.95: 4 Stars. The dog was very good, must be Vienna. It has some heat, but no over powering, not like a hotlink or red hot. They service it on a poppy seed bun, with tomatoes, sweet relish, onion and deli mustard. I added some yellow mustard (maybe sub yellow next time) and gave it a bite. The dog had a good snap, great flavor. Awesome dog! The Giant Chilli Dog ($6.95): I added cheese for $2, it was preshreeded mild cheddar on the side, nothing special. The chili was mild, not much flavor, but I do like they didn't add beans. Hotdog chili should be chill l like in Texas, no beans. Who really need the extra punch.. All meat is the way to go. I tried to kick up the heat, but again thier hot sauce selection failed, they really need Frank's. The dog and bun were nothing special, so overall 2 Stars Maybe the way to go is a Fire Dog with chili and cheese. Next time Onion rings (beer battered) or Deep Fried Mushrooms I'll be back read more

Came here last night for the Warriors play off game. It was pretty crowded and loud, but we expected that. The server was very friendly and polite and greeted us quickly given the crowd. Unfortunately they were out of the three white wine's by the glass I requested or they just didnt want to open a bottle.. so I had to settle on a red wine which was just ok.. I ordered a cobb salad and I will say it was very good. The grilled chicken was excellent! Its a great casual place to catch a game, so many TVs.. it is a bit loud, I would recommend you turn down the TV volumes during half time if you are going to play music on top of it.. but all in all I would go back to enjoy a game and that salad!! read more

Visiting family in Alamo and stopped on our way home from Giants @ As game. Looking forward a quick place with sports on to catch up on other MLB & NFL pre-season. We ordered mozzarella sticks & poppers to start along with beers & a Jameson Mule fir me. The drinks came out quick. The appetizers were your typical food service fare. All our sandwiches were good & I the fries. The server said they'll peel them fresh every day. Two Patty Melts, a Ruben and pastrami No complaints. Oh and live music on the patio outside. Overall a great visit for pub food and drinks! read more
