R T Arena Incorporated - Rock Island

I recently relocated to the area and the Arena has quickly become my preferred bar. The main reason for this is the fantastic people who frequent the establishment. A few nights ago, I decided to try a PBR and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly atmosphere and excellent service.

I used to attend their bacon night events, and on one occasion, I had fresh breast milk squirted on me. I believe this may be a violation of health codes.

It used to be a great place, but now it is terrible.

Apart from the usual problems with every quarter on Saturday morning, the arena was always a correspondingly cheap bar with good drinks specialties. Medium selection of bottle and canned beers, about four beers on tap. It remains pretty and quiet when you are the guy who likes something from a hole in the wall. Decor is made very concentric on Pabst Blue Ribbon, including art pieces of cartridges. Pool table, electronic dart board, casino video games, a n64 on a large screen with a decent selection of games, and a Nintendo on a smaller screen with almost any NES game you want.

Great shotgun. Younger scene. The music that comes across the jukebox is usually much better here than in other places in downtown. The available old school video games (Super Nintendo, N64, etc.) can be fun. Also a good place to watch Friday night fighting or other sporting events.
