A new sports bar is lining up for Glendora’s Arrow Highway, with owners already handling alcohol paperwork and a recent sale of the snug storefront that will house it. The concept, called Arrow Sport Bar, is slated for the compact single-story unit at 129 East Arrow Highway. Owner Gameel Gris told local reporters that a firm opening date is still to be determined.
Where it will land
The planned home of Arrow Sport Bar is the one-story storefront at 129 East Arrow Highway, a 1,260-square-foot building that property records show changed hands in May 2025. According to PropertyShark, the parcel is listed as a restaurant and cocktail lounge. The address has long been occupied by neighborhood fixture Cheers Sports Bar, and local listings and reviews still pin Cheers to that spot. TripAdvisor shows the bar at the same address.
Licensing and timeline
According to What Now Los Angeles, the operator behind Arrow Sport Bar has applied for a liquor license with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Gris told the outlet that “the opening timeline has not been set yet.” The report also notes that details about the interior and menu are still under wraps while the application moves forward.
Neighborhood context
The storefront sits on a short commercial stretch of Arrow Highway, surrounded mostly by service businesses. Nearby neighbors include Tony’s Upholstery & Canvas at 123 E. Arrow Hwy and Jack Ashmore Auto Repair at 111 E. Arrow Hwy, with an ARCO station a short walk away. Directory listings and maps confirm those neighbors. The incoming bar would join a small wave of openings in Glendora this summer, as Chase’s plans a second location at 216 N. Glendora Ave., while Hoodline detailed Tex-Mex newcomer Tex-Mex takeover for Glendora Village.
What to watch next
Before Arrow Sport Bar can open its doors, ABC rules require applicants to post a conspicuous notice of intent at the proposed premises for a set period and allow time for public review. The California Code of Regulations spells out that posting requirement and gives the department authority to deny a license if issuing it would be detrimental to the neighborhood. We will update this story when the owners lock in an opening date or file additional public documents.
