Arena Club Restaurant Looking Brand New from All Facets

The Arena Club Restaurant underwent renovations this summer and it will re-open its doors to help celebrate Carolina Hurricanes Opening Night.

The Arena Club Restaurant will re-open its doors on Friday, October 10th at 5pm to help celebrate Carolina Hurricanes Opening Night. This area has been designed to compliment the Ledge Lounge, a space that was renovated during the 2005 summer. Arena Club improvements include new wall coverings, window treatments, carpet, and a 21 foot full service bar. Above the new draft beer taps rest two 50 inch flat screen, LCD televisions. Smaller flat screen, LCD televisions have also been placed throughout the Arena Club so no one will miss a minute of action on the ice or basketball court.

With the upgrades that were made to the Arena Club, VAB Catering, the exclusive food service provider to the RBC Center, has also made upgrades and improvements to both of its dining room menus—Buffet and A La Carte—offered during Hurricanes games. By popular demand a few features have been added to the buffet menu. Fruit and cheese have been added to the salad bar and a sauté station has been added to the offering of entrées. The A La Carte menu has been redesigned, featuring 9 dishes that are sure to entice every pallet, including the signature item—prime rib. This menu will remain the same all season long—try every dish over the course of the season or enjoy your favorite dish every game! An upgraded salad bar as well as appetizer features and dessert will also be offered. To make a reservation, please call 919.861.6100 or email Reservations@RBCcenter.com.

Once the game starts, dining room service ceases, but the bar will remain open. Premium and club level ticket holders are invited to join us inside the Arena Club at the new bar. Guests can enjoy a private place to sit down while having a beverage or dessert.

The Varsity Club, adjacent to the Arena Club, was also renovated and features many of the same improvements. This private space is available for pre-game hospitality or business meetings. Based on room setup the Varsity Club can accommodate groups of 25 to 100 people. Availability fills ups quickly, so book your date today! Please call the catering & restaurant manager at 919.861.6102 for more information.

During times when there is not a hockey game, basketball game, concert, or family show the Arena Club Restaurant functions as meeting space. Additional upgrades to the Arena Club that will greatly benefit banquets, meetings, and special events include new lighting with dimming capability, upgraded sound system with an increased amount of speakers, drop down screens for presentations, and LCD projectors that hang from the ceiling. To book meeting space, please contact the catering & restaurant manager at 919.861.6102 or email Catering@RBCcenter.com.
