Calling the BetMGM Sports Lounge a bar doesn’t quite do it justice.

It has all the elements of a killer sports bar, sure — huge TVs lining every wall (21 of them, in fact), local beer, craft cocktails, and a loaded menu — but it’s taken the sports bar formula and gone a step further, bringing in date-night dining options and an elevated atmosphere to help make every meal that much more memorable.

🏒 Need-to-knows

Sitting on the second floor of Bridgestone Arena, steps from Broadway nightlife, the new BetMGM Sports Lounge is the perfect place to catch a game or pit stop before a night out.

Pull up a seat at their stylish 52-foot bar and enjoy a hand-crafted cocktail, or choose from their vast craft beer collection. Either way, arena tickets are never necessary. Just roll up and start enjoying yourself.

🍸 Happy (early) Hour

The Lounge is open year-round, seven days a week, and Happy Hour starts early, kicking off at 2 p.m. every day and running till 5:30 p.m. It also acts as a dedicated security checkpoint on gamedays, allowing you to skip the long lines and head straight into the arena.

🍽️ Mix-and-match bar staples + elevated eats

We’re betting that BetMGM Sports Lounge’s extensive menu will keep you coming back. Some of our recs:

  • Go classic with pub favorites like the signature Hot Honey Chicken Sliders on fluffy buttermilk biscuits or Loaded Buffalo Chicken Fries.
  • Chow down on a juicy Smashville Burger drizzled with their signature sauce (because everything’s better with a signature sauce).
  • Feeling fancy? Take your date night to the next level with pan-seared Crispy Salmon or a hearty Double Bone-In Pork Chop.
  • What’s a bar without some winning sips? The drink menu features creative cocktails, wine, mocktails, beer, and spirits. (We’re eyeing that Nashville Hot Margarita).

Peep the menu for yourself — it’ll be easy to match the meal to the occasion.
