Good prices and staff. Good entertainment. And Kareoke. Been a customer long time. Good food too.

The food was great! The ambiance was good. The bartender was TERRIBLE!! Beth cares more about talking than taking care of her customers. She literally had our food in both of her hands and stood in FRONT of us talking to another customer, waiving our food around and continuing to talk before I said "can we please have our food". She was more concerned with doing shots and Jell-O shots with the customers than filling drinks. Then when it came to paging apparently she decided what was her own tip because she kept $10 for a $29 bill. Will never go back if she's working. Otherwise the wings were excellent. read more

A bit of a dive bar to go get some drinks. My father-in-law likes to perform at various clubs and bars so we went to go support. The lady behind the bar graciously let my kids sit to watch and even got them set up with two Shirley Temples right away - nice. I ordered some cider, but when the keg kicked, and it was less than half filled, she just gave me the drink and I ended up purchasing some local hard tea. They have a few beers on tap, some Ohio brews, but mostly big names. A lot of bottled domestics available as well as a bit selection of low to mid-shelf liquors. For entertainment, there's whoever's playing that night, as well as some TVs showing sporting events and then there are some pool tables and other games in the back. If you want any of that with some affordable drinks, this is the place for you. read more

Getaway - Outside - Pubs Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Great food and service. Terrific bands as well. I recommend the Akron burger and onion rings. Outstanding.

We walked in looking for a atm. Proceeded to walk by the pool table and had an employee walk out of the bathroom with a drink. She proceeded to tell us that we can't play pool at that table. We told her we weren't playing. She proceeded to tell us multiple times that we can play at the other table but not that one because her quarters were there and it's theirs. There wasn't a single person in the pool area. We told her again that we aren't playing pool and it hurt her ego I guess. She proceeded to pull the age old "I work here shpeel". We walked away without even getting a drink. She proceeded to tell us to "go fuck off somewhere else if we don't like it". Keep in mind we told her multiple times we weren't playing pool. That lady is obnoxious and the definition of someone that isn't liked. An over weight blonde white lady wearing a flannel shouldn't be talking to people like that if she works there. Lousy person, even lousier interaction when she can't control herself drinking.. read more

Had some awesome times here darts pool etc., Beautiful handsome mixologist and nice at the same time. SAVORY FOOD by talented cooks at a reasonable price 2 hot dogs for less than 4$,. daily specials burgers are so tasty. I attended karaoke and live band East of Seattle and had a very memorable time. More of a mature crowd. read more

The service is lousy the drinks are water down and the overall atmosphere is crappy.

Gives new meaning to the term dive bar or should read dive bar is an understatement. It was gross. Bad service. Band was good.

If you're over 35 and in the Valley, this is the place for you simply because you'll feel young instead of old in the other bars. Avg age on a weekend night is 45+... but the music is good and the drinks are reasonable. Good regular/dive bar. read more

Getaway - a motorcycle parked in front of a gas station - Pubs Near Me - Akron, Ohio

I enjoy just how awful this place is, especially Wednesdays. The bartender is a poor miserable soul. Can't blame him as he must suffer open jam night where several very kind yet musically-challenged gentlemen in their 60s butcher their favorite 70s hits. I think this place is a warning - you can see the result of a lifetime of poor decisions. This wisdom will be unsolicited yet imparted by the drunk soul that takes you under his wing (followed by a treatise on American rock music and how you can better play your instrument. I'll go back. It's painful. Funny. Annoying. But I'll go back. read more

Awesome local bar in Akron (In Merriman Valley). Live music, Open Mic, and Karaoke. Call 330-867-8700 for details. Bring your friends to the best live entertainment in the valley!!! read more

See all

I don't go there often, when I do I go to see a great local and called the Coverband. They are awesome which makes the place tolerable. The service is by far the worst I have ever encountered! The supposed manager/bartender( Dave I believe is his name) is oblivious anyone who is not either a friend or a regular. It took over 15 minutes for me to get acknowledge to get 1 beer, with only 8 people in the place before the band even started. Every time I go there the I have received the same crappy level of service. I guess he doesn't like tips , care for customer service, or making money for ownership. read more

Awesome bar! We are here quite often. Andy makes fantastic foodstuffs! Autumn is a rad barkeep! We have a great time here!

Met some friends and had a great time. Friendly people - but dance floor very small.
