    One of my favorite places to watch a sporting event. On the pricier side of food but above average quality. Beer towers and a great crowd for big events make this place a go-to for myself

    You want the wings! Crispy yumminess! Great atmosphere, wonderful service. We go here when we're visiting the Bay Area for the Stanford game against the Ducks. Been twice, we'll see you again!

    I've been here many, many times and I'm always impressed with how good the food is for a sports bar. The space is huge and there are TVs everywhere.

    Come from a foreign country that plays hockey and want to watch playoff hockey? This is one of the few places in the Bay that has all the games. Only thing missing are Canadian beers.

    The new wings are god awful. Just fry them and mix them in Frank's red hot and they'd be 1000% better! The sugar in the buffalo sauce is just KILLING ME!

    When you have fans from the Midwest and east coast watching games, your wings need to be legit. Sweet sauce wings should be called something else.

    The Old Pro is a great place to meet up with friends and watch sports. Old Pro is a very lively place in Downtown Palo Alto.

    The Mango/habanero chicken wings are really really spicy......the ghost chilli is insane...but it's fun for people who can handle it :)

    Funny: The $7 1lb of wings special is pricier per lb than just getting the 2 lb order on the regular menu ($13).

    Make sure to be nice to the guy/girl running the mechanical bull. It makes all the difference.

    Standard sports bar. They make you pay a cover charge at the door but then you can use the receipt as credit for drinks and food

    The OP moniker in the buffalo wings stands for overpoweringly sweet 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

    Decent food for a sports bar. The pulled pork sandwich is a bit light on meat but tasty

    Hate the new buffalo wings, buffalo wings are supposed to be hot not sweet and what's up with the coating. #saynotofrufruwings

    If you really like tater tots-order real ones and don't waste your time with sweet potato tots.

    Good for large groups but otherwise it kinda sucks. Pub food and beer. Mechanical bull is interesting.

    I'm just shocked. The wings used to be good until someone apparently became too clever for their job
