R Bar Arena

Decent hockey themed sports bar. Free Pop Corn (which ran out at some point the evening I was there) is the stand out feature. Nothing special in terms of beer selection and the food menu was a little lacking. Standard bar far but nothing that jumps out at you. Pizza/Burgers/Wraps and that's about it.

I had their wings which were average tasting but larger than normal. (The drumettes were practically the size of an actual drum stick).

I went there for a Hockey game though, and not the food, and in the case they delivered. Most of the TVs will play Blue Jackets games if one is on but they were happy to switch a TV for me to play a game from my home team. They have one large projection screen in a corner, TVs behind the bar and miscellaneous TVs scattered about. There were definitely some blind spots and a few seating areas with no TV close by, but there are definitely site lines from every seat.

All in all, a decent place to catch a game.

Great bar. Lots to offer! Although nothing really stands out besides it being a hockey bar. Well, that and their huge, shareable beer tubes.

Beer selection was OK. No crafts, which is expected from a sports bar in the Arena District. I wasn't that surprised.

Food was standard for sports bar as well. I happily scarfed down a 12 inch peperoni while sucking down a Blue Moon.

The Blue Jackets game was on; we were drinking cold beer; the pizza was hot and came out quickly. There wasn't much to be unhappy with at all.

Hockey fans rejoice! This is your place! But - I'm sure you already knew that.

I never actually intend to go to this bar, but it's nice, nonetheless.  It's large, particularly in the summer, when the outside space is available.  The bar is nicely situated in the middle so you can approach from all angles.  TV screens are plentiful, and there's usually one or two good beers on tap.  

Generally, however, it's indistinguishable from any other generic bar.  It's a nice jumping off point for a night, but there's just nothing special to draw you in.
