I come from a very conservative state, and being that California is ""in the middle"" with a ""Red"" governor and all, I felt somewhat welcome. That being said, the Arena is a nice, casual, relaxed place to ""kick-it"" with a colleague or friend after a long day of work. I found the ambience very loose, and the service staff to be helpful and eager to take my order. Overall, I would say this place is well worth a visit if you are into a more relaxed atmosphere. This is definitely NOT the type of place you would want to ""pick-up"" someone; rather it is a place to ""hang-out"" and relax with a beer and nachos/burger while watching the Lakers play!
Pros: Price, Atmosphere, Parking
Cons: Food, Size, Selection of Hotties
