Nelsons Bar & Grill | Our Story

Canton's Home For Wings, Pasta & The Game

Nelson's Bar & Grill is a third-generation family sports bar on Whipple Avenue in Canton, Ohio, just half a mile from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We've built our name on award-worthy wings, cold drinks, and a room where the whole neighborhood shows up to catch the game. Our wings come out hot and messy, the way they should. But regulars know the dish to beat is our Diablo Chicken & Sausage Pasta, a fiery, hearty plate that keeps Canton coming back. Whether you're here for wings on game day, a plate of Diablo pasta, or a round with friends, you'll find a Canton sports bar that feels like home. Pull up a stool and stay a while.
