    Buffalo wings and celery

    Staff took a while to take our food order, wasn't sure if the kitchen was open but would be nice to know if the kitchen has a delayed opening. Wings are smaller than average but priced more expensive than market. Almost 11 dollars for 6 (half size) and tasted cheap like little Caesar's wingsand skimped on the hot buffalo sauce. But the barbecue wings sauce was good. Added ketchup container for perspective.

    This was a close walk to my hotel. First impression was a cool sports bar with all of the hockey decor when I walked in. Quickly greeted by friendly bar staff. Opted for chips and queso which the queso was perfect!! Extremely friendly staff to chat with! If you like sweet, make sure you get the #stingerbomb

    R Bar is my bar. Well, I don't own it, but I am kind enough to make a small monetary contribution to their bottom line about once a week. It's a hockey themed sports bar with plenty of TVs. There's a pretty nice sized patio too where I like to chill with friends - when it's slow. Something going on at the arena? Consider yourself forewarned that they get crushed with obnoxious bros and screechy drunk girls. Their brew selection is alright, nothing much to note and their prices are typical for downtown. The main thing that brings me and my friends there are their food specials. The menu is bar food decent and it's priced right too but go there for the specials. I'm a fan. Addendum: Their Food and Drink specials (Doesn't apply when there's an Arena event): Sunday: A pitcher of any draft beer and a one topping medium sized pizza for $14.00 Monday: 1/2 price burgers Tuesday: $2.50 Corona and Corona Lights Wednesday: $3.75 tall boys and $5.00 wraps with kettle chips Thursday: 1/2 price pizzas Friday: 1/2 price quesadillas Saturday: You're shit out of luck on Saturdays.- No specials

    Great atmosphere around Blue Jackets games, but it just gets too crowded. No flow to move around and everybody just runs into each other like broken video game characters. On off nights, it is easier to move around but there is still a stench of beer from the last game. A lot fried bar foods, but they are really good!

    We didn't go inside the bar, just made a quick stop after dinner to check out the hockey game, so I cannot comment on the entire experience. Packed outdoor seating area with the hockey game projecting on a huge inflatable screen. There were other televisions screens to watch, as well. I will update my review when we come back again

    Came here before the Blue Jackets/Blackhawks game bartenders were FANTASTIC

    Decent dive bar. Drinks are reasonable. Came for the wings on the menu and was disappointed there was NO food available.

    So as the décor indicates, this is a hockey bar, so it's great for pregame and postgame hangouts.

As of this date it is my understanding that Columbus allows drinks "to go" within this local entertainment district.

Also, even though it was busy it didn't take long to be seated. Got wings, pizza and the pepperoni stuffed twist bread. Only two complaints... Not sure if the waitress we had was new (would have been nice to know if that was the case) or just didn't care. Polite enough but I was asking questions about the menu that she didn't have the answer for and didn't want to go find out i.e. I asked was the Sicilian pizza listed as spicy because of the sauce since the deluxe also had spicy sausage but no symbol next to it and her response was I'm not sure I've never ordered it. Also, we're the look at the menu ahead of time folks and when you place an online order it does have prices listed. Online it says a half order of bone-in wings is $15.99 for 8 wings. We receive 7 and when I mentioned I thought we were shorted a wing I was told that the order was 7. I guess the extra wing is only for take out or delivery.

At some point her food was set at the end of the bar, she had to get it herself. No one even noticed she took it. My sister ordered the apple brie grilled cheese. It was good while it was hot, but as it cooled down it became inedible. The onions became soggy and congealed together. I ordered the Cuban sandwich. Overall, I thought it was good but nothing fancy. The fries were cold and hard. This was a disappointing experience overall but I was sorely disappointed in how poor the service was and how annoyed the bartenders seemed to be.
