What Viviane Kuphal doesn't like about R Bar Arena:
Cool place but after ordering a small pitcher of beer and giving the bartender a $20 bill and him coming back asking for more cuz it was $25. $25 for DRAFT beer. I don't care to hear the inflation excuse. That's ridiculous. I'll not be going back to that place. There's no excuse to charge that much. View all feedback. What Garrett Danielson likes about R Bar Arena:
The place to be before hockey games. Just don't come in with other teams hockey gear on because this Columbus baybay!! Great selection of brews and liquor. Free popcorn. Ask for John, the best bartender! View all feedback.

Good dive. Drinks are reasonable. Came for the wings on the menu and was disappointed, there were NO food available.

Located in a nice area with outdoor seating, this restaurant disappointed one reviewer with overcooked burgers, missing sauce, and a salad that was not substituted but still charged for. However, prompt replies from the owner and a nice patio earned a rating of 3 stars. Another visitor found the place to be a good spot for a fast meal and drinks before a hockey game, with above-average food at affordable prices. The bar was also praised for its selection of brews, liquor, and friendly service. Despite a limited late-night menu, a patron enjoyed a tasty pizza after a concert. Overall, the restaurant is portrayed as a popular spot for hockey fans and event-goers with a lively atmosphere and excellent service.
