Food is decent and reasonably priced, very convenient that it is in the arena. Hours are horribly inconsistent to the point it is useless to check the hours or look at their schedule. It can be posted they'll be open till 12am or 1am but they'll be closed by 9:45pm. If they're open the fries are worth it but it is entirely a guessing game.

Lowkey place with good prices and surprisingly good pub food, but don’t expect restaurant quality service - it’s a sports bar. At an arena. If you want a cold drink and a bite between games, this is the spot for you.

Went at RIM many times and haven’t visited this places due to bad reviews, but last night I thought to give it a try and the experience was great. The food especially the Pepperoni pizza and Thursday Quesadilla was so delicious.

One of the best experience ever in a sports bar where the staff is so dedicated in making our experience rememberable!

Great spot for a bite to eat and beer.

I would love to talk about the food here, but I never got a chance to find out if it's any good. The prices are low and the service matches. We went in and sat down and weren't acknowledged after ten minutes. We stood up to leave and as we did the waitress walked by, completely ignoring us. It's as if they didn't care that they were losing business. If you aren't going to even acknowledge the existence of your patrons maybe you could just keep the doors closed. While we waited another table walked out and a third table had to walk to the bar to order food, which was clearly not the intention (the bartender did not seem happy about this at all!)

I've been to many hockey arenas and this by far has been the worst customer service experience ever nobody's in the restaurant helping tables forks weren't filled I had to ask him then been ignored had to somebody else. McDonald's would have been a better choice

Love the Into The Wild pizza. Recommend the chili olive oil drizzling for a kick.

The owners went out of their way to correct an issue and I cant wait to go back again. Delish pizza

Very courteous staff, wings were good and actually cooked. They accommodated our limited time frame between games.
