Cullinan’s Stadium Club

stopped in here for lunch and a few drinks with our friend paul. it was two for one burgers on saturday so paul and chris ordered their burgers. i had my favorite, blt sandwich with onion rings. chris enjoyed a bowl of chili too. everything was well made, fresh and i liked that my blt was prepared just the way i would, fresh crispy bacon, enough mayo and just the right amount of lettuce of tomato. look forward to coming back again when we’re back in these neck of the woods.

Took forever to get our food, literally an hour just for a cheeseburger, which was just ok, the staff was nice and apologetic, but they really need to get their act together and be ready on a saturday night

Came here on a recommendation for Friday Fish. Gotta say, it was a real surprise. Expecting the usual fried whitefish in a styro box, this was a meal to rival any bar in the southside. There was a plate! And actual silverware! A good cup of soup to start with a bread basket!
Lake Perch is the specialty here, I got 5 small filets lightly breaded and fried. Tasty, fresh, and served with a good housemade sauce. The real shock was actual vegetables on the plate. Not from a can, from a farmer. The roasted green beans and potatoes were tasty, well seasoned, and made for a filling meal.
Not really expecting the quality of the food, I came in by myself and sat at the bar. The place was filled up with an older crowd from the neighborhood. TVs above the bar and on the walls kept my attention, I didn’t feel too out of place. Beer options run the southside usual — everyone else sitting at the bar was drinking Miller Lite. Buckets of MillerBudCoors seemed really popular. There’s Guinness and Stella on tap if you want an upgrade.
Not really my scene for beers — but that’s A-​OK, the world would be dull if everything was the same. I’d definitely go back for food!

Great food, great people! Love enjoying a Saturday afternoon at Stadium Club, never a dull moment and no complaints :)

This was a stop on a Western pub crawl back in January.
Stadium Club has the feel of an oversized basement bar. There is a football field painted on the ceiling of the bar, hence the name. Friendly bartenders are fast on the taps. And when someone puts in an order for food, the entire bar is overtaken with the aroma that only a deep fryer can produce.
On Cribs*, all of the rappers’ houses feature «boom boom rooms». This is where their respective entourages seem to be permanently stationed, playing pool, drinking, and discussing how to build and sustain relationships. If you are a white middle-​aged Irish guy from Morgan Park, Stadium Club may well be your boom boom room.
*According to the Internet, Cribs** premiered in 2000. And yet somehow, the show has had 17 seasons. In a similar vein, The Real World, which first broadcast in 1992, has had 25 seasons. WTF. You get one season per calendar year. This bothers me a hell of a lot more than it should.
**An even better show would be, «Cribs Repossessed,» in which washed up celebrities are evicted from homes they can no longer afford. This show probably already exists, but I can’t monitor everything on TV.

I have come to this bar for a few retirement/​work parties and always have fun. The dj plays a variety of music, the staff is friendly (and occassionally give u a round on them) and it brings a nice crowd. The age range is usually around 30’s-40’s so it’s a nice bar without any problems. Prices are not steep and the bathrooms are always clean.

A gem in the rough down there. The bartenders are always nice and i seem to always get a table even though they do get a good crowd. Karaōke is one of the draws with an assortment of regulars doing their versions of «Secret Agent man» or «Summer Lovin». Darts are also available at this SouthSide oasis.
