Hell's Kitchen, Arena Bar, Brick City Bar and Grill, Scully's, Spot Lounge. I believe they all have websites and have good food / drinks. Brick City is the closest to the arena - it's accross the street from the box office.

I received email yesterday from the Prudential Center that included
confirmation that still cameras "of all sizes" are allowed. I called
security to seek clarification to try to further increase the chances
that I wouldn't risk having my DSLR and lens confiscated.

If anyone else knows anything further I'd be grateful for a PM.
All the security shift supervisor with whom I spoke was able
to tell me was thAt he hadn't heard about any change in the usual
"no cameras with removable lenses" rule

I'm parked across the street and guess I'll be able to dash over to
stow my gear if necessary. But I'm going to take a shot and
bring my main body and real glass (f/2.8 70-200mm).

Trying to be positive here . . .

I called Bellos, and it's okay to bring my boys -- "They just can't sit at the bar." So we will try to come by later and meet some people, etc.
