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.

You wanna go somewhere to watch the game with your mates? Then this is the spot. This place has a TV in any direction you look with sound pumped high into the ceiling and a rowdy energetic bunch of fans cheering on the game! The food isn't fine dining but perfectly on par to what you'd expect if you were to go to watch a game! Don't overlook their sandwiches and hot dogs they're pretty good!

Great sports bar - plenty of screens to catch your various games. Solid selection of on tap and decent enough cocktail options. Friday fish and chips were a little disappointing as the batter separated from the fish but flavor was solid. Wait staff were attentive to without hovering and very efficient.

Very good sports bar in the middle of Walnut Creek, good vibe, good crowd, good food, Great bar with multiple beer selection and good cocktails. The only negative, is not the bar itself, it's the parking in Walnut Creek. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and had to park 20 minutes away. But, that wasn't bad since you will leave with a belly full of food and alcohol. If you like a sports bar or pub atmosphere, this is the place.

Prompt and friendly service, large selection of beers, video screens everywhere. The seared ahi tuna salad was delicious.
Recently came in to watch the chefs game and I absolutely loved it! Food, service, ambience; all was great! Our server Santiago was so friendly and well known with all drinks and food. Had the wings with hot fries (santiago recommended) and it did not disappoint! We will be coming back again!

I love coming to the pub, I appreciate all the workers especially Santi and Maria. They're truly amazing and I love the ambiance of the games! They always get my food order correct and they know how to properly and efficiently work together behind the bar!

Food was just ok, and it was really loud and there were a lot of drunk people, I mean I get it, it was a Friday night and the warriors were playing so it actually didn't bother me that much, the service was amazing though, they were really attentive and very kind, making sure things were ok. I would return just for the good service, and to watch sports.

We always enjoy our time at stadium pub, I can't speak to the food, but the drinks are good, and we've always been served quickly. The staff is pleasant and always brings a water bowl for our pup.

So I've been here several times in the past, only to watch Thursday Night football. The food is sub par, mixed drinks the same. On this occasion I had asked the waitress what sweet drinks do you have, she promptly said "none" with an attitude. Then she looks at my arm and wrinkles her face, showing her disgust because I suffer from psoriasis. She then asked me for ID, I'm on my late 40's and had already been there earlier. A tiny little corner piece was chipped off on my id and she said that she could not accept it and I was refused service. I've never had issues with that in the past and even if it was their policy it was the way she said it, very antagonistic and totally made me feel like crap. All the other waitresses had always been really nice and I don't know whether this one was having a bad day or if she just had it out for me but I'm never going back there.
