BarFly's Review of On Deck Sports Bar & Grill

Very much the new Pearl - a doggie daycare is downstairs, drinks aren't allowed on most of the sizable deck, The Lumberjax host regular afterparties where professional lacrosse players mingle (and, presumably, bus tables).

If On Deck caters mostly to recent emigres ... well, y'know, who else watches sports 'round here? Rare fun, still, to watch the manlier techies unfurl frat pasts as March Madness progresses, though the bar's non-smoking ferocity troubles.

Simply put, people who smoke and watch sports tend to especially twin the hobbies during close games; if you have the nicotine habit, best bring a patch or you'll end up throttling one of the waitresses.

And they're such attractive waitresses. Bringing such good beers, such tasty appetizers, drifting past the 68'' plasma and more HD consoles than there are in heaven. The old Pearl sucked, really.

bar flyes review

It was a terrible view of the complete of On Deck. It is a great small cozy, family place also. Go there late afternoon, during their quiet time (no trailblazer games) We love it for the above reason. Dont go because you think it is only a giant party, it is great for your quiet family also. A mom should know! The service and food is outstanding

Santa Claus is Coming

Went here for the Hatton/Mayweather fight. Same night the bars were invaded by Santa Claus imposters. They attacked the sports bar in droves. These Red Gowned peeps were cool to party with, rowdy but respectful. Anyway, place was packed with Santa's but loads of fun. Management seemed to be handle correctly, service was good amidst the 3 to 4 deep packed bar.

Worst bar in town

This place is awful in every possible way. Slow, rude servers who have absolutely no clue what they're doing. We asked for the OSU baseball game to be put on and we ended up with European soccer. Their happy hour consists of $3.50 micros...are you kidding me? That's a happy hour? Imagine the school lunch from your elementary school left under a heat lamp for a half hour. That's their food. There a good 30-45 minute gap between when you order and when your drink arrives. This place is a joke. Please boycott so we can get some new ownership up there.

NIce space - someone should put a decent night spot here.

Beautiful location. Could be cool, if there was just a touch of class going on. As it is, the food is strictly Freezer to Fryolator, sub - chain restaurant munchies, and the service is slow and snotty.

They sure do have a lot of Televisions, though.

Down hill

Since the new management has taken over this place has gone down hill, then asked for a shovel. this is evident by all of their waitresses leaving right before March Madness for another bar. Since then the service is horrible, the experience even worse. This used to be a fun place, why did they kill it..
