BarFly's Review of City Sports Bar

Sports-a-palooza has at least 50 screens (including two ginormous projectors and a slew of HD big screens), showing everything from the day's main event(s) to the Outer Mongolia Hula Hoop Championships on ESPN 14. Get a little uncomfortably closer to four of your best buds by sharing a "Shotski" (5 shot glasses mounted on a ski, duh). Nice staff. $1.95-$3.95 menu 4-7pm & 10pm-close M-F.

Reader Reviews of City Sports Bar
Not a bad place.
notoriouskellyI went for an Andre' Paradise comedy show a while back and it was groovy; I like the selection of different seating.

I believe the UFC (cage fighting) shows have a $5 cover here (as opposed to Free at Belmont Inn) but, it looks like at City Sports you can also participate in the fights.

It's worth checking out.

The heroe
There is an answer to your complaints about "the guy with the remote" changing your channel with a minute left in your game, for the stupid servants, for the bad poor on the Guinness, or being pissed-off for whatever reason;
let the Asian fellow sittin at the bar know your issues and he'll make sure you're a happy sports fan, unless your team loses.

a waste of time & money
We went here after reading some good reviews, well, what
a mistake.

The service was so-so, the food so-so, and my wife's drink
was horrible.

The real problem was with what we came there for, the
game. The "guy with the remote" changed the channel with
a minute left in the game that was on, totally pissing
off the people at the next table who had been there for
4 hours watching that game.

The main screen was changed to the bar guy's favorite
team, NOT the local team. After a number of people
complained, he reluctantly changed it, but for about 10
minutes we continued to get the sound from the other
channel. After more complaining, we got the sound of the
game we were watching.

Then we got intermittent blasts of extremely loud rap
music, silence, and other channels. Finally the mix
settled on the sound for the game on the main screen
coming form another TV in the back of the bar, and the
TV over the bar, showing the bar guy's game, having it's
sound up so high it drowned everything else out.

Almost everyone in the place, except the guy's buddies
at the bar, was furious. We left and went home, after
having deiven 20 minutes and paid parking to get there,
and $40 in food. We will never go there again, and will
tell everyone else not to as well.

One great bartender
The staff here is cool. I've alway received the service I ask for. Suggestion: Talk to the bartender with the extra short hair, he's so cute.

THE BEST SPOT TO WATCH SPORTS!
I love The City Sports Bar! The service is great and the food isnt bad for bar food. The Mac & Cheese is to die for! If you want to go to a place where you feel at home with 200 of your closest friends...head to The City!

Super Sports Place
We (The Ohio State Buckeye Alumni) are at The City every saturday with a group of a hundred or more. The food and service has been great. The staff of the city goes above any other sports bar that the alumni has ever use in the passed. They play our fight song after every score and keep the crowd hoppin. It is by far one of the best places to watch sports, eat and drink. Family Friendly. Thank you City John

Finally a cold one
The beer here is sooo good. Maybe because I was out at the gym a little too long. The pint glass(actully it's plastic) is really 2 ounces more than other places. Even if your glass has the extra head, you still get just as much beer as anywhere else. The manager there explained to me about the safety of plastic vs glass... like I really cared, as long as the beer comes out cold, that's all that matters. Cheers.

What happened???
When The City first opened it was a great place to hang out at night, and get a good beer and watch game during the day. I had not been there in a few months, I went back recently and it is terrible. The Servers and especially bartenders look like they want to be anywhere else than work, and they seem to have no idea what their doing. The drinks are terrible, and the service is slow. What happened???

The Happy Hour will keep me coming back to this place, but the servers suck ASS! Drinks were good, prices were good, location is good, servers suck.

Stupid Servants
Plenty of TVs, and it's nice that it's (mostly) non-smoking. But we have had problems more than once with the idiot sorority skanks waiting tables. It either takes forever to get served, or they don't know what a beer costs or if it's even happy hour!

Enjoy all the sports but remember to speak slowly when Missy or Traci eventually come to take your order.

Friendly bartenders
Didn't even know this place exist and I've worked downtown over a year. First thing the bartender asked me when I sat down at the bar was "what game do you want to watch?" I'm a baseball fan, so that was the first thing on my mind. Those Lucifer hot wings were spicy and way better than Hooters

March Madness
I came down to watch the NCAA tournament because some friends asked me out. The service was suprisingly good considering they had a full house. Had a great Mojito also.

Good sports scene
I haven't seen anything like this other than an ESPN Zone(in Las Vegas). I'm a big sports fan, so they have a lot of things I enjoy. Happy hour food is a bargain to other places downtown.

Snappy
It's the closest bar to my office. I hate sports. And yet, I find the bar staff really friendly and the drinks stiff enough. The 'tenders usually remember your drink, too. Also, the happy hour food is really delicious.
