“Fun sports bar. Wide range of beers and liquor. Multiple pool tables, shuffle board, darts, hoops and corn hole. A good range of typical bar food: wings, burgers, salads etc. There's usually free tables. The car park is small and fills up early but there is plenty of free on street parking nearby.“
“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.“
“I held 2 functions here using the smaller meeting room (Birdie Room) during the day for a business meeting with 22 people & an evening function in the Eagle Room for 68. Every aspect was known and discussed by a team of people . Even invited to come in before my business meeting to check connectivity of multiple screens in the meeting room. Had it all figured out and set ( no worries like usual the night before) Continental breakfast & lunch were great . The evening function was a buffet of Italian food, all delicious and plentiful. Special attention paid to 2 Vegan eaters. Again attentive staff and well corfunated. I will use them again for future functions and very highly recommend them for yours. Thank you to all the staff.“
“We were out downtown and saw they had an 80’s cover band. Thought we would give the bar a go. First time to Dan’s. The band was AMAZING. These guys were the real deal. Spazmatics was the name of the band.Bar staff couldn’t have been nicer. We hung at the bar most of the night. It was PACKED. Bar tender made sure we were taken care and checked in on us often.Vibe of the bar was definitely party. Super diverse crowd. Tons of energy. Looks like the bar does a great job of booking live entertainment.Overall- had a blast! We will absolutely be back!! Thanks for a great night !!“
“Got the mac n cheese fully loaded, and yeah definitely worth $33 it was ??? Super filling even with the munchies. They need to fix the atmosphere tho, the a/c was set to like 55 and it was cold and raining outside, the lighting was harsh, and the table of drunk women overwhelmed the acoustics. All this is easy to fix and I'll still be going back because the drinks, food, and staff made up for it.“
“This is a great bang for your buck. The food & margaritas are really good (I've only gone around dinner time / in the early evening, not late night so I can't vouch for the late night vibe). The service is a bit slow but the people who work there are usually really nice and accommodating. The prices are really good and reasonable - definitely doesn't break the bank which is refreshing around downtown. My friend and I both agree that we want to come here more! Fun spot.“

“OH MY GOSH!!! I left my phone in the bathroom here before I went home, and the sweet bouncer found it and kept it safe for me. Also I LOVED the mystery shots and Pineapple Express drink!!! They also had nice heaters outside so you could be comfy while playing darts. It was wonderful.“
“I love everything about this place. The food was great, our server was very nice. It is a bit noisy inside. That is my only complaint.Wheelchair accessibility: Placard parking is in the back of the building. And there are only 2 spaces. Not the best.“
“Best all around restaurant in the area. Our store is close and we eat here all the time. Don't underestimate the food because you assume it's a bar atmosphere that wants to serve cheaper items to passify patrons. The food such as the seared ahi, chicken pot pie, the chicken meal, the shrimp and grits and multiple kids items are really well put together and that is what honestly would surprise most people about Norm's. The sliding door opens up for events next door and there is always sports on. The staff and the owner alike make you feel comfortable and at home. The best part is they always keep up with us as customers and they remember what we eat. It's the little stuff that makes norm's special.“
“We mainly come here for their $1 Taco Tuesdays, which are excellent and better than a lot of the restaurant tacos which cost a lot more. The staff is always pleasant and helpful, and if you're not a beer drinker soft drink or coffee refills are plentiful. One semi-negative is that I don't think their Thursday special "Big Max" is as good as the Mickey D's variety. Haven't tried their weekend breakfast yet but on the menu it looks good.“
“The atmosphere of this place might leave someone to under assume the quality of the food, but don't be fooled. The food here is delicious. My sister and I love golfing here for a lot of reasons and one of those reasons is the food we can grab before or after the meal. Burgers are good. Every salad I have had is great. My sister and I split the tacos with chips, salsa and guacamole a lot. The drinks are always tasty and hit the spot. I've come here once to watch football on a Sunday and it's packed but a lot of fun. There are a lot of tv's and tables to watch from. The people who work here are all very nice and helpful.“
“Went there with a bunch of people for a celebration and we had a great time. We only had drinks, not sure if there’s actually food here. It seems like a great neighborhood dive bar.Especially loved the bartender and the jukebox. I will survive!!!!“
“We went on a Saturday and it wasn't as busy as we thought it would be. It's conveniently located next to Walmart which has everything. The beer was good. The pool tables were nicely spaced out with good vibes all around. The lower level area is very chill and relaxed. I liked everything about this place and enjoyed playing my game. Security was friendly.“
“A local neighborhood dive bar and a hidden gem! We came here on a Tuesday for an afternoon drink and to our surprise the bartender was super nice and offered to buy us a shot after we asked for the check/we're heading out! Had it not been for an appt we had coming up soon after, we absolutely would have stayed longer! The neat thing about this place is that they have an outside patio with misters and cats that come to hang out as well. It's a super cool little bar and looks are deceiving from the outside until you enter in and through to the patio. Definitely would recommend this place!“
“A great place to sit outside right off of the Iron horse Trail. We bike very often along the trail and this is perfect stop to make in the shade and sit outside and enjoy one of their many beers on tap or a glass of wine. We ordered their Yard Sale individual pizza and it was simply delicious! We had to take some home because we couldn’t finish the whole pie! Next time, we will try the large slice if we just want to sample and have a cold brew! Great fast stop if you just want to have a quick rest and enjoy a warm day!“
“I definitely love coming to this location as it has many memories for me. I love all their salads they have to offer and many items they have in the menu. The service is always fast and friendly when we come here and love how their outdoor patio is dog friendly! Great place to enjoy some good food and a nice beverage.“

“Owner Michael Karp and his awesome staff have created a tap room style bar & grill that really feels like a home away from home (think 'Cheers' - where everybody knows your name...). Staff and customers are friendly, drinks are stiff, beer list is 2nd to none in this area, and believe it or not, they've got a killer little wine list too. Doren Cab and Josie Rosé by the glass -- Get after it! The food is solid too. It's not super fancy but comfort food that hits the mark for simplicity and quality. If the weather is nice, they've got a killer patio with firepit and TVs showing the top games. If you find yourself in Orinda looking for a great restaurant and fun watering hole, look no further than Fourth Bore!“
“Pizza is fantastic here. They also serve a large variety of food (wings, burgers, pasta, soup, salads), something for everyone. Plenty of space to accommodate large parties. Has long tables on the inside and bench seats on the outside with heat lamps. Food came out pretty quickly and the wait staff was excellent. Checked on our party multiple times to make sure everything was okay.“
“First timer impression- cozy. Came on a Saturday night to hear live rock and roll music from Jokers Wild. Love the atmosphere, seating, friendly staff, and best drink prices around. There’s a section with two pool tables and shuffleboard arranged with a dozen recliners along the wall in front of the big screen. Parking is well lit and right in front.Check it out.“
“First time stopping by here after work. I started at the bar to order some happy hour drinks and appetizers and then moved on to a table with friends. The bartender and server at the table were great. The atmosphere inside was very chill, not too crowded, and had people from every walk of life. I would definitely be coming back. My only thing was the chicken wings I ordered were supposed to be salt and pepper but came out with little to no seasoning. I did try the fries, and they were decent.“
“This past Saturday, November 18th, we spent the day at Rotator Taproom enjoying a beer and pizza, knowing Arf was going to be there with dogs for adoption. Fast forward, we adopted the sweetest little senior chihuahua and named her Amanda Marie. She's adjusted beautifully and our chihuahua Kobe that we rescued 7 years ago is being the best big brother.We are a family of 4 now.The beers were yummy too!!Great day, thank you Rotator Taproom“
