Went for wings, nothing special unless you enjoy vinegar infused hot sauce on them. Heard they was awesome, would not do again. Server never cleaned any of the table off after we were done eating. Everyone’s food came out at different times. Ordered fries they forgot, but that was fine we agreed we didn’t really want them by that time. Place was not busy at time is was between 4 to 6 pm.

The wings are awesome! Great place to just hang out, grab a drink, play a game of pool, or catch a game. The service was also great.

This is a laid-back sports bar that doesn’t feel grimy, with plenty of screens as well as pool tables. I love their Greek salad, and the boss burger is unbelievable. The mozzarella sticks are an excellent choice to bring over to the Valkyrie Wine Tavern across the street, since they don’t have food. Excellent service!

1st time and the staff was great and attentive plus the food was good especially for a salad that was hand cut lettuce not just dumped out of a bag! Onions are in point and the burger was very flavorful. Did I mention the staff?? What a great little place!!

Food:
We both ordered the Portland Timbers Burger. They need to Toast bun more (my bottom bun was soaked in burger grease and pickle juice), the Hamburger patty needs to be seasoned more, as well as the fries. They were verybland.
Cost:
The amount of food you get is not worth the value. I can get this same amount of food for half the price at most other places.
Service:
The staff is nice and friendly but they did not check on us after the food was dropped off. They didnt even look at us to acknowledge we might need something. We had to flag them down to get the check. We could have walked out and not paid and they wouldn’t have noticed.. (we are not that kind of people but thats how ignored we felt)
We told them when we walked in that we just moved to the area and have never been there. We decided we will only go back if invited to go. Would not recommend to friends. Would not be our 1st choice.

Did you know the Arena Sports Bar & Grill was originally a Hardware Store built in 1884 during the prohibition period? When the prohibition ended, it became a tavern called, The Palace Pool Hall. When it opened over three hundred people lined up for a cold beer. Later, it became Schooners- and today, it is known as The Arena Sports Bar & Grill. The Arena has 12 HDTVs to view your favorite sports, TV shows, etc. Lottery tickets and KENO games are available. Arena is known for its delicious burgers and over 20 buffalo wings flavors. Everything on their menu is so tasty. During Halloween, they have a costume contest and great drink specials. So come by and enjoy a night of fun, leisure, and games. I love a place where you can relax and be yourself.

I had an amazing experience thanks to Caitlin and Tanner They were not only quick and efficient behind the bar but also super friendly and made everyone feel welcome. Their knowledge of cocktails is impressive—I tried a custom drink they recommended, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Even on a busy Wednesday night, they stayed calm, professional, and upbeat. If you’re at Arena, definitely sit at the bar and ask for Caitlin and Tanner —you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again for the great service!

Yesterday was our first time stopping by for lunch. We both had boneless chicken wing salads, which were very good and fresh. We enjoyed our time, and the server was attentive and did a great job. But it’s our first and last because of their prices. $19 for a regular-size salad is overpriced. If it’s a huge portion or reduced to a reasonable price, I might give 5 stars.

Service is friendly. Wings are OK.
Edit: My wings came mostly naked. The two guys I was with both had sauce on theirs. It was a busy Halloween night so I can’t fault the kitchen there.
My main reason for reviewing the wings as just OK is that the Chrenobl is just the Nuclear with more spice. I’m not a huge fan of Buffalo flavor and that’s what the base of both of them are.
Make a jerk Chernobyl, and I’ll be back!

Had a fun time here. Did not know about their Wednesday night Trivia. Arrived just past halfway point, and listened to the players and game. The level of questions was closer to mid, which for me, makes it more fun.
I ordered an Arena cheeseburger. It was very juicy, full of toppings. Did drip water/grease heavily though, so needed to eat it quickly. Price was a little higher than I thought warranted though.
They have pool available, comfortable seeting, couches. There is even a hot wings challange!
I did not try out any drinks, but they have daily specials available.
Will definately go bsck for the full trivia experiance. At the end of the night, the trivia host let me participate in the final round, for fun.
