Stanley's Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Richmond

Me & my partner eat here every year during her daughter's hockey tournaments & have always had great experiences. Yesterday myself & my partner ate here during her daughter's warm up & I was not impressed at all. In fact I was a little pissed. $14 just for a burger? No sides...you have to pay extra for a side. I did not realize this until we ordered (I got a burger & my partner got a club sandwich) & they brought us our sandwiches without fries. I asked about the fries & was told the menu has changed & now you have to order & pay for the side separately. What the hell kind of pub, grill or even restaurant would serve a burger or sandwich without a side? Especially at the price they charge just for the burger. Even the family at the table next to us who ordered wings was shocked to find out that you have to pay extra for a side. My burger was extremely salty & my partner's club sandwich was bland. This place has gone to shit & the owners are stingy making you pay extra for a side for your burger/sandwich. They also do not accept cash any more. At no point were we told cash was not accepted until we went to pay the bill. We will never eat here again & will not recommend this...

Why isn’t there an option for NO STARS?? Came here 2 weeks ago to eat and watch kids hockey game and one of the servers practically bit my head off for not showing my COVID vaxxed pass at the entrance.

Had menus thrown at us and absolutely no efforts made to answer questions about any other seating or food. Well, unless you want eyes rolled at you. 🙄 Then I called today to try and reserve a table and surprise - all of a sudden they don’t take reservations. I guess you need to be a regular and in the manager’s good books to get that extra special privilege. I would rather sit in the cold rink instead of the unnecessary rudeness and attitude and not to mention the stale smell of grease in your...

I gave this place five stars, which you might think strange for a Bar located above a community ice arena. Just hear me out.

Yeah it's a bar. They mostly have bar food. What do you want seared Waygu? I had the best Butter Chicken I've ever had in North America here and if that doesn't appeal to you the cod sandwich was also excellent.

The staff is as friendly as they come in a nation already famous for friendliness. The service is lightning-fast and the whole place is bright and spotlessly clean. Shayla the bartendress knew the menu inside and out and took my order within seconds of me sitting down.

This place is like the platonic ideal of a rinkside bar. They should make...
