Stadium Bar & Grille

My boyfriend and myself were invited here by a work colleague. We were much impressed with the food! We ordered Beef Nachos and a cheesesteak. both were excellent and presentation was also very good. The food we had here was infinitely tastier and fresher than what we had experienced recently in Old City. The bartender was a younger girl. She was very quick and attentive. My boyfriend usually orders Vodka Gimlets, and often gets a blank stare when he requests this. This girl knew exactly what he wanted and made his drink to icy, limey perfection. We went on a Monday and it wasn’t too crowded. Just a nice relaxing evening.

Came in after work. The kitchen was open but only order fried foods. The bartender was busier playing darts instead of keeping up with partons at the bar. Ordered mild boneless wings but the order I got was extremely spicy. It was hard to get a second beer. I have been to a few of stadium bars and this one seemed to be loosely run by management.

I am from NJ but have been here a few times because my boyfriend and friends often perform here. The venue is large and modern, which is a plus. The food is amazing and very affordable. Those are the positives. The negatives are as follows. Patrons are allowed to smoke inside and I just can’t believe any establishment is still doing this. Is it that hard to go outside? It definitely makes me dread going back to this place. And with that being said, so does the service by a certain bartender I’ve encountered on more than one occasion. I do not drink, but each time here I’ve always ordered food. When I asked for water at the bar, I was scoffed at by the bartender (dark hair with blonde highlights, glasses). This happened with this particular girl each time
I came here. Then, when I was outside with friends and she was also outside taking a smoke break, I heard her telling someone «if I have to serve one more water or soda tonight I’m going to scream!» Wow. Way to make people who always spend money at this place feel uncomfortable just for asking for water. I’d be able to pass this off as this girl having a bad night if it hasn’t been the same scenario each time I’ve been here. This one girl is enough to make me not come back because I refuse to be made to feel uncomfortable and unappreciated as a paying customer, just because I don’t drink. I had every intention of tipping her, just for my water, until she slammed it on the bar and walked away.
