The Rink Sports Bar & Grill

Very cool hockey theme bar!! Right off Hwy53 and very close to the US Hockey Hall of Fame. Lots of cool hockey memorabilia including some very cool Tiffany style original six lamps. Service was very polite and drink service very quick. Same can’t be said for the food. We were told that there was a large group in the dining area and that food may take a while. Our food took 2 hours to get to the table. The food was very good, but the wait was too long. Luckily, we had time to wait for our food. I would give this place another chance for drinks and appetizers.

Absolutely terrible experience. The rink itself was barely okay, but everything else was a disaster. We hardly saw our server at all, which made even the simplest things frustrating. Service was slow, disorganized, and felt completely neglected.

What truly ruined the experience was the environment. The owner was in the back screaming at employees, loud enough for customers to hear. It was hostile, uncomfortable, and wildly unprofessional. Seeing an employee visibly crying because of how she was being treated was honestly disturbing. No customer should witness that, and no employee should ever be treated that way.

This place is nothing like it was when it first opened. The quality, professionalism, and atmosphere have gone downhill fast. If you’re thinking about coming here, don’t. And if you’re considering working here, don’t get a job there. The way staff are treated alone is enough to stay far away.

Staff is amazing.Food is pretty good family friendly

Quiet atmosphere, in the dining area not the bar. Old school vibe the table and chairs, the walls, game machines and choice of music playing. Old historic photos, and memorabilia put up.

Food was good but not great. The cheese sticks came out way overcooked they had to make a new batch. My favorite was the pizza, very good. Server was nice, food was very slow to be served from time of ordering.

Tables still had used breakfast dishes on them at 12:15 pm. Took an hour for our food to arrive. Only one waitress and she was also helping out in the kitchen. She did her best is a short-handed situation.

We had a group of 6 that ate here the end of July. Seated promptly and were informed that it was going to be 30-45 minute wait for food. Not problem, we all ordered drinks. When the drinks arrived, we ordered apps, and food. The appetizers came quickly, ghost pepper cheese curds highly recommended! Then we waited, and waited, then waited some more. One hour and thirty minutes after ordering, our food arrived. It was good, but if we weren't enjoying talking with friends, it wouldn't have been worth the wait.

Staying in Eveleth for the week and ate here twice. Both times the food took a little while but it was worth the wait. Our server and the bar tender were both very friendly. Laid back vibe. We will be back!

Yikes. An hour wait for breakfast and servers that aren’t empowered to discount the meal in that situation? Definitely not returning.

I went there for breakfast the other day and was surprised to find biscuits and gravy on the breakfast menu. The food was good(I'm from the south so biscuits and gravy are judged hard by me, soory) but the service was excellent and quick. It's a good place to eat.

Jonny honestly made my 4th of July. I didn’t know what to expect when coming here, but this bar made me feel like I’m at home. He spoke with me with genuine interest. As a hotel general manager, I wish my bartender was half as good as Jonny. The way he interacts with people puts me in awe, he’s an asset to this team for sure. I’m going to recommend the rink to my friends and will definitely be back.
