Treat Yourself to a Night Out at an NBA Theme Restaurant

If you are in the Orlando area and are a basketball enthusiast, or have kids who love the game, then you should visit NBA City for one of your evening meals. NBA City is a basketball theme restaurant that has won heaps of praise from visitors and the news media alike.

It was set up in 1999 and has been a hit with sports lovers ever since. What’s the secret of its appeal? It’s the sports atmosphere that permeates every corner of the place.

You will be dining in an environment filled with all kinds of sports memorabilia and while you are enjoying your dinner you can watch large flat-panel TV screens showing live sports or highlights of past NBA exploits.

In the highlight videos the basketball greats from all the eras are shown. Old timers will thrill to see Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain again and your kids will enjoy watching Kobe Bryant rack up the points.

There’s more to do than just eat at this theme restaurant. It has an interactive section where you or your kids can test your basketball skills. It is not just video games; you really will get a chance to shoot some baskets.

What about the food? It is contains the favorites of typical American cuisine. That includes hamburgers, pasta, pizza, salads, sandwiches and grilled steaks. The desserts are “home made” and the prices are quite reasonable. The average price for a meal is under $15.

The menu sounds quite plain but the food items are well prepared and that’s why this restaurant has won a lot of good comments not only from ordinary diners but from food critics as well. In particular, Fodor’s Review said that “the food is actually the real draw here.”

It’s a huge place. The restaurant exceeds 15,000 square feet and can seat more than 350 people on its two levels. It also has space for private parties ranging from small intimate rooms to areas that can hold cocktail receptions for several hundred people.

Serious sports fans may want to try out their SkyBox Lounge. This is the luxury area of the restaurant and it not only has a good view of Universal’s CityWalk area, but gives you the possibility to watch non-stop sports on 20 different TV screens.

Before you leave the restaurant you may want to pick up some NBA souvenirs, jerseys and memorabilia. They have a well-stocked shop and you can pick out something with the emblem of your favorite team.

If you are “sold” on this restaurant and want to visit it here is the basic information that you need to know: It is conveniently located in Universal’s CityWalk area. CityWalk is a special entertainment, dining and shopping area of the Universal theme park. Beside NBA City, it is also home to many theme restaurants, night clubs and other restaurants.

The restaurant is open daily from 11:00 AM and the closing hours are not fixed; they vary according to the amount of customers.

That’s about it. If you are a sports enthusiast and want to have a tasty, yet inexpensive, dinner in a basketball environment then be sure to visit NBA City in Orlando.
