Arena Sports Bar & Grill

A Downtown Independence Landmark

 

​

​​

Located across from Riverview Park in the heart of downtown Independence, Arena Sports Bar & Grill is more than just a place to catch the game — it's a piece of local history. The building dates back to 1884 when it first opened as a hardware store. It became a tavern the day after Prohibition ended, when, according to local legend, over 300 people lined up around the block for nickel beers.

​

From 1933 to 1983, it was known as The Palace Pool Hall, then Schooners from 1983 to 2009, before becoming the Arena Sports Bar & Grill you know today. Locally owned and operated, Arena has remained a staple of the community for generations.

​

Inside, you’ll find 12 HDTVs broadcasting all your favorite teams, three pool tables, foosball, local and national sports memorabilia, Oregon Lottery machines and Keno, and free Wi-Fi. Whether you're here for the big game or just a casual night out, our welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff make Arena the go-to destination for sports fans and locals alike.

​

Our menu features mouthwatering burgers, over 20 bold buffalo wing flavors, and the legendary Chernobyl Challenge. Pair it all with a cold beer, and it’s easy to see why Arena is where Independence comes to play.
