Local Eats Spotlight: Bridge Level

Golden 1 Center has some of the most diverse food options in sports. Located on the Bridge Level of the arena—just a short trip up the escalator—fans can find a whole new world of flavors.

There are some of Sacramento’s favorite establishments, as well as offerings unique to Golden 1 Center to provide a wide variety of food to choose from. Golden 1 Center Executive Chef Michael Tuohy and his team have been hard at work creating new menus that bring different cultures, tastes and fresh options all together to the arena for each event, night in and night out.

At Golden 1 Center we refer to our food stands as “Local Eats” because each showcases a different selection from around the city. These aren’t your ordinary concessions because they redefine what arena food can be, showing that fast food simultaneously can be healthy and delicious!

Each “Local Eats” stand offers tasty creations and numerous options. Ninety percent of the food featured at the arena comes from within 150 miles of the building— part of our unprecedented commitment to sourcing food and beverage from our region.

Here’s what you can find throughout the Bridge Level at Golden 1 Center on your next trip.
