We are from Grove City, OH, and stopped in Cambridge to hit Kennedys Bakery and decided to eat lunch first. We saw the sign for Downtown Arena and walked over. We walked into a neighborhood bar and grill. Great atmosphere. They have an extensive menu covering Pizza, burgers, sandwiches, pasta and more. We each ordered a personal pizza with fair frenchfries. The fries were as good as any fries I've had. The pizza was great, 4 good size pieces, medium crust and a great sweet sauce. The server was excellent, she explained that they make their dough every morning, and slice their sandwich meats fresh daily. They get their buns and bread from Kennedys Bakery. Next time we are in Cambridge, we will definitely go back. PS our dinner with 2 large colas only came to $38. Highly recommend. read more

Our server Kristen was very personable and friendly. We small talked and she gave us good advice all around. Nice place to watch football, big bar and outside seating. Lots of tvs. I had the Philly cheese my hubby has the club. They were both awesome (and I'm picky about my beef). The bread was to die for and made down the street. They have gluten free bread and beer!! We will definitely be back. read more

Haley(sp?) was a wonderful bartender. That's where my GOOD comments end. Katy Perry was obnoxious. I overheard her yelling at one customer because he tipped her "only" 11%. The food was sub-par. The noise coming from the jukebox was horrendous. Yes, we're not in our thirties anymore, but I can't believe even people in their 40's were enjoying this assault on their ears. Oh, and did I mention there was enough foul language in there to make a sailor blush? And much of this was coming from "ladies". No, not my kind of place. read more

Hours of kitchen operation are not posted anywhere. For non locals this is confusing and derailed our dinner plans.

My wife loves the Homerun pizza for her birthday! Had to do take out- ate it on the deck at home with family!

Great food, good atmosphere, fair to poor service. The Bobs Balzy wing sauce is outstanding. Wings are great. Pizza is outstanding. Sandwiches are awesome. 1 out of every 5 visits, we have a server that actually knows how to take care of customers and has a clue what is on the menu. They usually don't know the menu... That said we go back for the best sports bar atmosphere in the area and some of the best food. read more

Downtown Arena - Ice cold beer! - Sports Bars Near Me - Cambridge, Ohio

Your basic bar and grille foods. Sandwiches, salads, wings and pizza. A couple of specialty items like calzones or some seafood but nothing crazy. It's mostly a sports bar with over 20 something TV's and two pool tables. I think that's a little excess but hey no matter where you look you'll have something to watch. We only went here because it was a Sunday and the town was basically closed. We tried a museum and a pool hall but they were both closed. So we came in here just looking to play a few games of pool but stayed for the Bronco's-Patriots game, GO BRONCS!! We played 4 games of pool which cost $1 a game and I'm sad to say that I lost each game but only by one ball. While we played pool we ate a small salad, greek and a southwestern chicken salad. Both were good with enough dressing for an extra salad. I really enjoyed them. After the 4th pool game ended the Bronco game was starting so we ordered some beers and relaxed. The place wasn't packed at all, only 20 people in a place that holds 100+. We had two giant TV's to look at, one 55in and a 60in. They had the average beers were on tap Bud, Coors, Blue Moon, yuengling, etc. I ordered something I've never had before. The 312 beer which is like a light beer maybe belgium but i'm not sure. It was very easy to drink with a crisp finish which for me is a very enjoyable beer to just throw back. After a few cold ones and the game ending we headed out. I did happen to meet a very friendly white man who was very intrigued with the fact that we were an interracial couple. He had a lot of questions about our life but in a very nice and curious way. Plus he has a nephew that's mixed in a town with 98% caucasian population. It didn't bother me cause in the end he was nice enough to buy me a beer. I believe he was flirting with me even though my hubby was sitting right there. He didn't mind though because he drank half of it! I would return here if I ever got back to Salesville, Oh. Hopefully it will be on a weekday when the city isn't dead and also they don't have a liquor license for Sundays. This means that on Sunday they cant sell liquor but they can M-Sa. It was my bday and I was in the mood for a drink but i guess only beer for me. read more

Very clean and nice. Friendly staff. The burgers were completely flavorless, though, and the buns were terrible.

Love this place ! Great Pizza and fresh cut fries! More TV's than BW3 ! Service is great! Beer is cold! What else can you ask for !

We had the prim rib wedge and the fresh cut fries both were great! Relaxed atmosphere very friendly waitresses and bartender. Clean eating area we did not visit the bathrooms over all we enjoyed our dinner and will be back read more

Stopped in for the first time the other day. Very clean and spacious place. Large center bar, all the walls are covered in TV's like you would expect at a sports bar. The wait staff were friendly and prompt. I'm on a diet so I ordered the keto burger salad, burger medium. My wife ordered a cajun chicken sandwich. Her sandwich was OK according to her, she didn't need the top of the bun, it was pretty thick and extra crunchy. I think it was $6 for a 6", not terrible but didn't include a side of fries or anything. As for my salad, meh. It was just a salad with some spinach and romaine, couple cherry tomato slices and a speck of avocado bits. One slice of grilled red onion that was likely grilled a couple days ago, very dry. The burger which I was looking forward to was nothing more than a hockey puck patty. For sure frozen and heated in a microwave, doubt it was heated on the flat top. I was beyond disappointed. Burger was dry, well past medium, more like well done plus a little extra. Just plain boring and I think I paid like $10.00 for this turd. I'm giving 3 stars solely based on how good their pizza looked, amazing. Wish I would have just gotten one of those. The menu is very large, too large for a bar in my opinion. I think they should narrow it way down and specialize in a few things done well! read more

The pool tables were the only good thing about this place. If you're looking for a place to get good drinks, this isn't it. I ordered screwdrivers and even with a double shot I couldn't taste any alcohol, all watered down. We ordered food and after waiting a half hour, found out they had been sitting on the counter as a take out order. Plus none of the bartenders were friendly at all and the music was terrible. Would I recommend this place to someone? No. read more

I ordered bone in wings with dry rub. They were still frozen in the middle when I tried to eat one. Yikes

Food is great and the waitresses are polite. Nice atmosphere and decent pricing. Looks much better after they remodeled.

VERY good food, but make sure you have time to wait. Ticket times take very long. Go for dinner unless your boss is ok with extra long lunches read more

Nothing really special. They were able to make a decent drink and even when I didn't know what kind of drink I wanted the waitress brought one that was pretty good that she recommended. The food is bar food. Took awhile to get there, especially on a night that wasn't busy. And it was nothing to write home about. But here was the problem. We were there with another couple and my husband asked for one check so we could pay for all 4 of us. He went to pay the tab and we left shortly after. The next time our friends went in they were asked to leave for not paying the tab the time we all went together. Of course they just paid it, but they should have had the billing taken care of the way we told them to so our friends didn't have to go through that. It's bad business. We haven't gone back since. read more

Visited twice this week and have to say I enjoyed the wings with bob's balzy sauce, the hog wings and a good burger. Since those were so good we will venture into the entrees to test the waters! read more

Worst marketing skills I've ever witnessed. I'm from out of state and was up in Cambridge to visit family and wanted to catch my Redskins on Sunday and was told the only place in town that would have the NFL Sunday Ticket would be Downtown Arena. Upon arrival, I confirmed with the hostess that they had the Sunday Ticket, but she didn't even know! After going and asking a co worker, we sat down and waited for the game. This restaurant has a lot of TV's, yet they show the same channel on just about every TV, even if they're SIDE BY SIDE. I even asked the waitress if she could change the channel on the TV right above our table to the Redskins game, which by the way nobody was looking or even remotely facing, and she pointed to another TV and told me I could watch it there. REALLY!?!?! And I cannot make this up, at one point, more than 75% of the TVs on one wall were all on the SAME EXACT CHANNEL. As an NFL fan, I was really disappointed with the lack of service. More than 7 NFL games were on yet only a handful were shown. Not to mention the fact they don't serve liquor on Sundays, of all days. You would think the only restaurant in town with that many TVs would have better marketing skills. If I were the owner, I would be advertising that I have the Sunday TIcket with all those TVs, and serve liquor on Sundays and keep that place packed all year long! I heard they're putting in a new Buffalo Wild Wings in town, guarantee they will shut Downtown Arena down. In summary, food is average, service is poor, and their lack of sense and marketing is just embarrassing. One star. Good luck when the new BDubs opens. read more
