Happy hour here is a good deal 2 dollar wells and domestics and 4 dollar pizza or wings. Great thing about this place is that they have standard 7-4 happy hour and 10-12 on week days. My friends and I love the pizza here, the wings are good but the so called "buffalo" is nothing like it should be, so I usually get mine with sauce on the side. Complementary kettle chips are always awesome, and the 4 dollar margarita and corona called the snookie is a must.
Review Source:The service here is very slow even if it is not busy. Personally I come her because I really enjoy the food and the atmosphere CAN be a good time. If you get the chance ask for Misty. She is a great waitress, always makes you feel welcome and won't steer you wrong. Overall if you find yourself in Commerce, come check this place out.
Review Source:I've come here for Monday night football and for UFC. Love the different seating options as well as the tiered seating. The pizza was delicious and half priced during happy hour. Drinks weren't weak, but it took forever to get my next round. They scored extra points for the free kettle chips and dipping sauce, but lose some for their slow service. My advice is to order drinks two at a time.
Review Source:If you want to watch a game, I would recommend you go elsewhere. This place is a joke. I called ahead of time to confirm that the Michigan vs Perdue game was on. They lady on the phone assured me that the game was on. So off we went to Arena Sport. Once we got there we walked around the whole bar to check what tv had the game on. To our surprise they did not have the game playing on any if their TVs. Okay, no biggie we'll just ask one of the workers to change the channel. Easy, right?? Well, not so much. My boyfriend kindly asked the lady if she can change the channel to the Michigan game. The lady acknowledge his request. 15 mins goes by and the game is still not on. By this time my boyfriend and I are little irritated. How long does it take to change the freaking channel? My boyfriend walked up to the same lady and asked, "what's taking so long?" The lady said, my boss had to go down to the security room to put in the request. Really?? Fine. So we waited another 5 mins and finally the game was on. Having to wait 20 mins for someone to change the channel is ridiculous! The only good thing about this place is "Eduardo" (the bartender) very very nice gentleman. Too bad he didn't start his shift until after the fiasco.
Review Source:So glad i found this place, i mean I was gambling my money away, so finding a cheap eatery in the casino was the best. Â 4-7 pm great happy hour, Â WIngs are huge are huge and plentiful for 4 bucks. Â They use a bit too much sauce for my liking, but O well. Â Lots of TV's up, even an lcd projector, cheap beer(n happy hour) whats not to like.
Review Source:They have good happy hour deals from 4-7pm. $2 domestic draft beers, $4 wings and $4 personal pizzas!
Plenty of TVs to watch the game..but you have to read subtitles and listen to music in the background while doing so. It was slightly unsatisfying but good thing the game was good. :)
Came here for a sunday night game and ordered up some good food and cold beer.
Service was quick,food was good, free chips and hot dipping sauce is the shit!
Cute girls come in after 10 and its nice eye candy. Friendly and chill,but the best part about them they know whats going on in sports...shocking but damn sexy lol.
Cant wait for playoffs,that will be my spot for games.
Super cheap happy hour! 4-7 p.m.
Unfortunately I got there after 7, but my Shock Tops were still $4.50. Not bad. But from what I heard, the drinks were super cheap during the 4-7 slot. Especially the well drinks. & $4 for a pizza? Thank you happy hour Gods!
They do have $1 Taco Tuesdays in addition to their happy hour & Karaoke nights.
I'd be willing to make the drive just for that!
Oh & it's a sports bar, perfect for...wait for it...watching sports! Woo! Oh & you can get your gambling on after. Sweet!
Beware of the noisy tables who take shots like it's freakin' water! For once, there was a table louder than us!
Came down here during the summer on a Friday. Great Happy Hour prices! They coincided with an afternoon simulcast of thoroughbred racing at Del Mar. with me being able to wager on the races in the room next door, this was a perfect fit.
My cousin me me there after the first race. We had food, drinks and wagers all through the 7 race card. And when you come out ahead $100 each after the tab is paid, that is even better. Remember, you cannot win if you do not play....
Will be back here again whe Hollywood Park has their Friday night Card.
Cheers!!!
Some good junk food and some not so much..we got this huge platter that had a lil of everything; suggested by the waiter..
Pizza was too hard.. Burrito, wings & quesadilla were good.margaritas sucked.
Btw a security guy checked my purse to go into the restaurant lol wtf..& waiter asked me if my eyes were real & if I was dating? Wtf
Anyways big bar area, booths & lots of tv. Â Looks decent for a sports bar but needs better drinks
Arena Restaurant has lots of potential when it comes to watching games on big screen TVs. Food has its own tastes and lots of variety, opens at 11am but they'll accommodate you with seats if ever you get there early. Served with warm and delicious food but chips/ dip was served at the same time as my meal (was it supposed to be like that?) . They're quite slow on drink refills, hand was raised to get attention from waiter/s gossiping. Left without given a receipt. Who knows. Touch of class was given at the end with a doggie bag container which says "how to's" stickers for left overs.
Review Source:The nice thing about the Arena is that they're always running promotions and carrying the latest fights. Though I've found better places to watch football, boxing, or UFC it's nice to know that I have more than a few options.
Check out Taco Tuesdays for a nice little happy hour snack.
Located inside the commerce casino.  I've been coming here for years, and every time I come here I see more people than before.  I'm mostly here when the Lakers play at home, because I don't have cable so I can't watch those games at my crib.  It's a cool atmosphere when the game is on, there are plenty of regulars wearing their laker gear, cheering.  There's this one dude that starts with the, "Let's go Lakers Let's go! 'clap clap'" and others follow along, i laugh, but i too follow along... sometimes.  The drinks are cheap(or should i say cheaper), they have happy hour from 4-7pm i think and on Tuesdays they have 2 dollar coronas.  The food is cheap (cheaper) and decent, not the best, but decent.  The people there are the older crowd and the gambling crowd (especially during the poker tournaments).  They got lots of tv's, and pretty much anywhere you sit you'll  be able to watch the game.  Friday nights they bring out a DJ, bumps some old school music, and some of the "veteranos" get their groove on with their "jainas".  Some of the people might look ghetto but they're cool, plus there's always sheriff patrols stationed outside in case something goes down.
Review Source:Well I was recently invited by a friend of mine to join him at the Commerce Casino where he is considered a regular. He loves playing Texas Hold'em while I hang out and watch free pay per view or any local sporting event. When sports aren't available I enjoy betting on the horses and just watching the races come in. The Casino is pretty well kept and has a Vegas feel to it compared to most California local casinos but of course it's never Vegas.
But now for the Arena Sports Bar and Grill we ended up there after a bad day at the tables but always a good time. The hostess was very nice and the restaurant was pretty open so she let us sit where ever we like. My friend was more thirsty than hungry so he orders these homemade potato chips and dipping sauce which was really good. I ordered the half rack of BBQ ribs and the sauce was great and the ribs were really moist and flavorful. The meat was falling off the bone and it came with really good sweet potato fries and vinegar based Cole slaw.
So all and all they have free parking and $3 valet parking and the price of the food and drinks are made to keep your money on the tables so it is very affordable. They have happy hour and karaoke nights and other events on their calendar that makes coming to this spot an up and coming hot spot for the locals that don't want to break the bank parting in LA. So I consider it a great spot for some food and drinks for a night away from the kids.
I come here a couple of times a month. The place is clean, has tiered seating, and alot of TVs above the bar, behind the bar and around the walls playing a good variety of sports, even soccer (yeah!)
You must have the original style classic chicken wings -- these are some of the best around, with huge pieces and very flavorful. I usually have the paninis (cuban style and prime rib philly) that taste fresh and seem like alot of care is put into the food even though it is a bar. And don't forget the complimentary home-made (?) kettle chips to start off with. Service has been very good and friendly.
Truly, hands down, THE BEST WINGS Â in town! Delicious fries as well. Next time I'll bring extra napkins in my purse since things got messy when I was grubbing on the hot wings. Â This was my first time coming to The Arena Sports Bar and Grill and The Commerce Casino, and I liked it right away! What can I say, I love the whole casino/Vegas ambiance :). It's thrilling!
I went on a Friday night and it was incredibly busy! We were wondering if we should sit ourselves since the hostess was nowhere to be found. After about 5 minutes, however, one of the managers sat us at a comfy booth.What is this free basket of potato chips and dipping sauce at the table that everyone is speaking of? I guess we did not get them this time around awww. Those sound really good! That means we will have to come back for some :)
Awesome!
I used to go to Hooters primarily for the wings. Now I'll only go their for "the wings." NUDGE NUDGE WINK WINK KNOW WHAT I MEAN? KNOW WHAT I MEAN??? (Kidding!)
The Arena has hands down the best buffalo wings I have ever tasted in my life. They also have Asian-style wings, my boyfriend's favorite, which look like sweet and sour chicken coated with sesame seed, and Cajun-style, which I haven't tried. The service is pretty attentive and friendly.
I'm subtracting a star because a waitress got my order wrong on my second visit and for the mediocre-tasting sliders. That won't stop me coming back for the wings though. Repeatedly.
I've never been to Commerce before, and with good reason. It's ghetto. Man, am I reminded that Chinese people love to gamble. Anyway, I came here for HH which is from 5-7pm... $2 beers on draft (Millers, Coors, Bud) as well as cocktails, but sadly no wine. The only HH food item is a giant pepperoni pizza for $4, YES, I said $4. It was delicious too. After HH ended (it took both of us an hour to get here - she came from Irvine and I came from LA, you do the math) we ordered more drinks and food, which really didn't cost that much more. Total price for good food and drinks... $21.
The vibe is nice too, quite unexpected given the supermarket bright fluorescent lighting when you first walk in to the casino. Thank God the bar area doesn't share any of the casino ambiance. The staff was very nice, food came out quickly, it wasn't crowded, and the bathroom wasn't far. Oh yeah, and if you like watching sports, there are TV's everywhere.
Would I venture back here? Yes!
Okay so we went to this place on a Thursday with a couple of co-workers. The first thing I should say is that it is the cheapest bar I have ever been to!!! We went for happy hour 4-7pm. The drinks are delicious (at least the ones I had). Okay so I had 2 drinks and I ordered Pizza and Wings. Guess what I payed? $15 dollars including tip!!! It was crazy cheap. It was like 8-9 of us and we all had drinks non stop we ordered lots of food and it all came out to be $155. Plus they have karaoke which is always fun. Â We did not join in on the karaoke but I will next time because it was sooo funny to watch for a bit. Â The waitress was also funny and good!! Â I would go back any day!!!
Review Source:This is a cool place to go hang out! It is located in the Commerce casino so you can get the full "Vegas" feel. Waitress was pleasant. There were baskets of potato chips and dipping sauce at the table, MMM. Talk about "you can't have just one"! LOL anyway I ordered the meatloaf, it was a cheddar cheese meatloaf on sourdough bread with mushrooms, mashed potatoes and gravy... lots of steamed vegetables. What a feast. I love meatloaf! It was honestly the BEST meatloaf I have had in years! Perfectly seasoned and simply mouthwatering! A must go out and try...right now! A++++
There is also a bar in the middle of the place so if you are inclined to have that experience... by all means!
Who knew you can find an awesome hangout at the Commerce Casino. It's called The Arena Sports Bar and Grill. Feed your hungry eyes with large tv screens everywhere! Look to your left, BAM! Big Screen. Look to your right, BAM BAM! Big screen. There isn't a bad seat in the house.
Once seated, you're immediately given some delicious kettle chips with a tangy dip. Oh....my...I could eat that stuff all day long. Their menu is loaded all sorts of stuff. Burgers, sandwiches, Chinese food, and a ton of other dishes. I've only had a their burgers and beef brisket sandwiches here and they are amazing. The portions are huge and the prices are cheap.
The servers are super friendly and I'm sure they have to be all the time. Especially if they have to cater to the high rollers.....me NOT being one of them. So if you're ever in the area, want to catch a game, or play a game take the opportunity and check this place out!
This place is pretty good. Â Cant go wrong with a casino diner. Â Their chibatta baja shrimp sandwiches are really good. Â They serve fresh fried potato chips when you sit, which are all you can eat and they'll even pack you a box free if you ask. Â Prices are what you would expect to pay at a diner around $8-$10. Â They have a very eclectic menu and have daily specials.
