Arena Bar & Grill: Reviews & Ratings
Great food, variety of drinks, and prices.
We love their stromboli, the waiter was amazing and we always have a blast seeing Big Daddy Bangers.
Went to a drag show here and they not only had amazing entertainment but also good food. Would definitely recommend for food and drinks!
Recently went with my husband for dinner. We got a pretzel, he got wings and I got the buffalo tenders. Everything was wonderful! Especially the pretzel it was clearly homemade but we both really enjoyed our meals as well. We'll be back soon!
Went early to a paint party fundraiser to grab a bite to eat. Haven't been to thr arena for over 20 years! The food was wonderful! I had a California cheesesteak. The roll was phenomenal! My friends had a rodeo cheesesteak and the chicken alfredo (it smelled SO good and the portion was HUGE!) Then we went to paint. The wait staff kept up with everyone (86 people!). It truly was a great night out for food and fun!
Went out for food and drinks. Was karaoke night. So much fun. Food is good and atmosphere a blast.
I moved to State College over a year ago & have been on the hunt for amazing wings and bleu cheese dressing. A coworker suggested this place. I not-so-subtly told the barkeep that I loved bleu cheese when I ordered my to-go food. He did not disappoint with a bevy of creamy ramekins of the sauce. It was killer. The wings (habanero peach somethingorother) were just crispy enough, spicy & set my mouth on fire, in the best way. They’ve easily won me with the service (over-sauce me & i’m in) and the food was just what I wanted & enjoyed.
Due to last minute, unforeseen circumstances, we were stuck for a venue for our company Christmas party. The people at The Arena were so wonderful and accommodated us with no problem! The food and service was fantastic! Our whole party had such a good time! Thanks Karyn & Kim for making this happen for us!
