| - I was very hesitant to even consider giving this place a try based on posted reviews and from other people's encounters I have heard about.
I wanted to watch the hockey game so my thoughts were that this place will probably be less crowded which would guarantee a place to sit . Turns out, not so. We did manage to get a seat but once the game started the area surrounding the bar became 2 fold with people milling around behind us. This place was alive and well on a Pens Friday game night. The other option was to sit in the dining area to watch the game but it definitely lacked the excitement the bar area was offering.
The other thing I wasn't expecting about Arena Sports is their extensive menu. 15 appetizers, including hand-cut and breaded onion rings, Smoked Pulled Pork Nachos (the menu states smoked daily) French Fry Melt that claims to be better than Kennywood (fries have bacon, melted cheese, green onions and a zesty ranch dipping sauce!) They also have a large selection of soups and salads, burgers, wings, chicken, steak, and seafood entrees, pizza, wraps, subs, grand slam-wiches, Build Your Own Pasta dishes, and their smoked in-house ribs and pulled pork. The grand slam-wiches feature The "Maz"eroski, Cutches' Open Face Steak , The Clemente and many more fun options.
The service was quite good and fast paced. The barmaids proved to be quite skilled with such a large demanding crowd.
Turns out Arena Sports has just added a new member to their fan base. My first experience here turned out to be a hit!
