Looking for a good burger this is the place to get it. The BCB Burger is my favorite it's a bacon cheese burger with really good french fries. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves a good o'l burger.
Today, I had the opportunity to hold a charity event at the Arena. The staff was on point from the minute I presented my idea, to the setup, during and even helping to load my car at the end of the night. The evening was amazing from the food to the quick service! Thanks you to all the staff and Nicole for making the Party with a Purpose Event a huge success! I can't say enough about the night. I will continue my events in the future! Thanks to the bartenders, wait staff, and kitchen what an awesome job today!
Ashley was a great server for the entire night. She definitely made our night much better and it was a great experience. Overall, this bar is a way better place to go than Lucky's.
Amazing appetizers, killer burgers, and a fairly good selection of beer. A nice 2 hour Happy Hour where drinks are cheap enough to try a few without having to risk spending a lot of money only to hate it and not want to finish. Service is amazing with suggestions on beer choice and recommended appetizers. Hands down my favorite place to go for a few hours with friends.
Even if it is busy we never wait for food or drinks. The entire staff knows how to hustle.
Both the food and the drinks are *amazing*
Great food, I love getting the texts for a free meal. A wide variety of drinks to try every time . I love the sweet potato fries! Waiters and waitresses work very hard. Chelsea is the best 😬
Food and staff were great. Loved $2.00 apps and wines for happy hour. Prices were good too. Buffalo chicken sandwich was so delicious
Arena has great food and amazing customer service. The prices are great and the food is even better. Glass night during happy hour makes it even better!
Food is fantastic. Best bappy hour specials in the area and one of the most extensive draft lists. Added 18% gratuity to my bill once for a party of 6, but otherwise a great place for dinner or a night out.
This place was way better than Luckeys! Ashley rocked as a waitress!!
Came because I heard the happy hour specials were good but there's a sign at the door saying they no longer do them. 🥺
Good selection of craft beer on tap. Lots of mix drinks to choose from.
Non existent website. Food was good and a pretty chill crowd of locals. Best beer selection I've seen in the area as well as a bunch of mixed drink 'punch bowls'.
Was recommended Arena Bar & Grill by the hotel we were staying at, and they did not disappoint. Many different beers available both in bottle & on tap. Menu had a good amount of choices. We had Maryland Crab Cakes & Steak and Shrimp Skewers. Both were nice sized portions. The sides (green beans & rice) and salads were fresh and crisp. Our server Mollie checked on us the perfect amount of times and was friendly. When we're back in the area again we'll definitely come back to Arena!
Great visit! Love their burgers! Middlesworth chip chicken fingers were crispy and moist but lacked flavor. The chocolate cake was AHHHMAZING. The peanut butter and jelly martini was also really good. I am a huge fan of Skrewball whiskey so this was totally my thing. Service was great, that server was working her butt off!
The best waffle fries in the area, hands down. Burgers are always consistently good and there's something for everyone.
Great place to have dinner and a beer. I went when it was less busy. Food was delicious and I liked the beer selections. Tesla charging for customers is a plus too!
I would say that this is probably the place to hang out at in Wilkes-Barre. Tons of people, but we still received good service! Good atmosphere and food. Very large selection of beer.
Great food, and server was so friendly. I loved that the woman at the next table wanted her drink changed a little, so the bartender actually came out to her table to make sure she was going to make it just the way she wanted it! She was also extremely friendly! Beautiful atmosphere, we sat outside and the breeze was beautiful, the lights were beautiful, it was just a great experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this place!
As an out of towner, I'm always a skeptic when someone says they have an award winning burger. But gosh-dang, that was a very good burger. Excellent selection on tap as well. I'll definitely be back here when work travels bring me through this town again.

My opinion of Arena has fluctuated over the years, I'm glad it's on the upswing again. I had not ordered a cheesesteak in YEARS because I had so many that had let me down. For some reason I went off the rails last Th and went with it. I got a rodeo chicken cheesesteak(BBQ sauce, cheddar, and crispy onions), but I felt it needed more! I added lettuce, tomato, and jalapeño! It was GREAT! I'd definitely get it exactly the same again! I tried the cajun garlic parm and blue cheese honey hot as dippers for the fries, pretty damn good! The menu is pretty basic. (Not just fried stuff and burgers by all means though.) Unless you're looking for lobster, crab, and the like, you should be able to make a good choice. I wasn't sure the specialty drink I ordered really went the distance, they tend to be a little inconsistent, not really hitting the nail on the head here. But the cheesesteak, service, and the well placed and spaced seating arrangement make up for it many times over! Pleasant patrons also! Definitely want to go back soon.
A great place to go with friends for drinks. They have a huge beer selection both draft and bottle. They are punch bowls are all so fun to get once in a while if you are not the driver. Their food is also very good. They have many flavors of wing sauce.Their french fries are very fresh. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and have not been disappointed. Their patio is also nice for Outdoor dining.
For the last almost 10 years I have been a steady monthly customer.
This place has become my number one, go to place.
I am extremely picky yet find nothing on their menu that I have disliked.
The workers are all amazing. The managers have been as well. Always quick to solve an issue, although I only ever had ONE.
I have recommended this place to anyone and everyone I know.
I will continue to go there for as long as I can, and enjoy their amazing atmosphere and outdoor patio which is equally relaxing.
I'd say arena bar and grill really brings something unique and special, that I absolutely love to an area like Wilkes-Barre lol
We sat outside and their patio area was very enjoyable. I had the pot stickers as an appetizer and the shrimp & corn salad for dinner. Both were very good! Oh and I had some great mixed drink - very refreshing and delicious! Good service too!
The staff here is fantastic! They're all so lively and are very quick on their feet. Seriously we had a group of twenty people and not only did they get everything one hundred percent correct, but they never missed a beat in checking on us or getting our items out on time. The first food item for one of us was out by the time some people even got their drinks. Seriously fast service and a great group to be around. Not to mention the food itself was all top notch as well as the drinks. A great place to go for a nice meal or drinks out with a group of friends.
