I wish they had more canned beverage options but they do have drink specials and a good beer list. Just not what I drink in particular. I don't care for the current food menu as it's mostly fried food. Before they had the best fresh cut thick fries but are currently different. Staff is generally friendlyish.

We came in early enough to get in without cover, but the space is really nice and has pinball machines. I'll have to come back when they have a band on because I bet this place gets packed.

It takes a lot to turn me off. A lot. I've danced and partied at bars and clubs a plenty. The group…read moreI hang with takes partying very seriously and we do it well with a lot of energy. I don't get hung up on dirty bathrooms. Bartenders with attitude are overlooked. We'll party in small bars, even, if the band is good. We all work hard and are willing to spend good money to line up wild times. Hotels, designated-drivers, lots of booze and rock-n roll. But, there is one thing you can do as a club owner that will guarantee me and my group won't blow a large of wad of cash in your establishment. Turn your bouncers into oppressive pricks. The award for the worst experience in all my years of rocking at clubs and venues goes to The Omni in Toledo, Ohio. The place should be a sitdown dinner theater NOT a club hosting metal tribute bands. We'll NEVER be back and not only that, every single person I know that rocks WILL be encouraged to never visit this garbage club. If you like to rock hard, dance hard, and drink hard look elsewhere.

This is a HORRIBLE place! DO NOT GO HERE!! We spent $60 on Robin Trower tickets, and we didn't even…read moreget more than 15 feet in the door when the owner got in my husband's and my face. My husband and I were *literally* pushed around by the owner and two of his lackies. I didn't know who I was supposed to give the tickets to when we entered (as there were no signs, directions, lines, identifiable t-shirts on the staff, etc.), so I asked the first guy sitting at the door. He just said he needed my ID, so I gave that to him and walked a few feet forward. I asked another guy standing up if I was supposed to give him our tickets. He said in a completely dick-ish tone, "What are you--will call??" I said, "No," and started to take a step forward to the next meathead. He and two other guys LITERALLY jumped in front of me, put their hands in my face as if I were going to storm the place or something! (I am a 5'2", professional-looking, young female; in fact, I had just gotten off of work, which is in an office, and was still in my business casual attire. In short, I am the furthest thing from a trouble maker.) So when my husband, who was behind me, saw that I was getting hassled, he said, "All you had to do was ask us for the tickets." He didn't yell or act like a jerk; he just stated that. The owner got in my face and yelled that he was "the owner of this place," and meanwhile, the two meathead bouncers backed my husband almost to the wall and started yelling at him. The owner jumped over to him, as did I, and that's when I put my hand on the owner's chest to try to back him off. We were just like, "Okay, we're leaving. This is complete BS." I am still in shock. Never in my life (or my husband's, for that matter), have we ever been treated so poorly. We go to a lot of shows, but we will never visit this hole EVER again. We wholeheartedly believe in supporting local businesses, but this guy deserves to have the place shut down. Currently, there are several complaints against this place, and I read online that the city is trying to revoke their liquor license. BEWARE, and BOYCOTT!

Yes, it is a Bar and Grill but they also have a sizable outdoor patio area, a large area with pool…read moretables, darts and arcade games. There is also an entire section dedicated to live performances. I visited for the Pop Evil concert and was floored by all of the talent they had lined up before the main event. The drinks are good and the service we received from Kelly (loved her Mohawk) was spot on. They seem to maintain a great line up of live music from the area as well as bands from out state and country. The performance venue is standing room only with a few exceptions near the bar. It feels intimate but it is big enough that you do not feel crowded. The reason I am giving them 4 and not 5 stars is for making us wait in 0 degree weather with a hella cold wind cutting at us as they had to process everyone in. It was very inconsiderate to keep people standing in the elements while one or two guys checked Id's and tickets. Maybe this seems like no big deal but seriously it was f*&^$ing cold out people! My buck 25 ass is not use to it and I dare say even the locals had a difficult time handling the wait and check in process. The place also looked a tad tired and dare I say dingy. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable eating here. That being said I did NOT see their kitchen so this can be an over reach on my part but generally speaking if things are not well maintained up front they are not well maintained in the back. The bartenders and concert line up is the reason I believe most people come here and is why I will be back next time I am in the area. Until then, Rock on with your bad self!

However, if with the clique style douche metal they play there, the biggest threat is the head of security [Hispanic, late 40's, heavy set, short black hair] that is always impersonating a cop. My friend was allowed to leave with two highly intoxicated people while the supposed impersonator cop that was head of security told me to shove off or he'd have me arrested. Right after I asked to see this guy's bad, asked for his name and badge number he only said 242 [Gee, give the name of a band right don't you]. The head of security left in a late model orange colored pickup truck. moments later after he left, actual police arrived claiming that I had a gun in the night club. The entire building was closed at the time when the actual police arrived. The one of the DJ's happened to be standing outside next to when the police arrived and vouched for me. What a total joke of an encounter. Do not go here. You couldn't pay me money to even perform at this place as DJ or music project. Oh, and after talking with both Toledo police and the police in my own neighborhood, it turned out the head of security mentioned in this review is not a cop. This head of security should be careful of the person who is sober and is not afraid of some wanna-be.

My daughter's wedding was this past weekend. It was fantastic! The Summit Event Center was the…read morefirst place we toured a year ago. Right from the first meeting with Becky, we knew this was the right fit for the wedding reception. Our goal was to have all events for the weekend in Downtown Toledo and The Summit Event Center was perfect! The Hotel was a block away and all other events were close by within walking distance which made it easier for the guests. Becky is so informative and professional, always returning calls or emails within a day. Becky and her staff took so much stress out of the wedding reception planning. The free monthly tasting were so helpful. This gave us a chance to bring various people to the tastings to help choose the right food and see the venue. It also gave us an opportunity to get to know the staff. They exceeded our expectations! We wanted to customize our food and make it a fall theme. Chef Keith was so helpful and willing to figure out the right combinations of foods. The late night snack of chicken chunks and mac and cheese was a huge hit! Hannah, the Bar Manager, made a fall specialty drink with warm apple cider that was also a favorite with the guests. All of the waitstaff were attentive and polite making sure everything was as we had requested. The house DJ was an awesome choice! Having the use of the inventory of event decorations was a big money saver. We loved going thru the items to get ideas. The package pricing made it so much easier to plan the budget for the reception. Becky was so helpful in making changes to the package that fit our needs. Our families and friends had an excellent time from the delicious food and drinks to the fun dance music to the wonderful decorations, we highly recommend having an event at The Summit Event Center! Thanks to Becky, Hannah, Chef Keith and the rest of the staff! We made some awesome memories!

Very nice beautiful bar with quality comfy furniture, an outdoor patio and and upstairs balcony area. Most of the staff are friendly and service is good. Sunday and Mondays are mostly live rnb or jazz with local musicians and free entry. Other days are live rock, metal, or pop bands with entry fee. Not open everyday so check their FB page or website. Food trucks from time to time. No food kitchen, just drinks. Halfway decent beer cans and bottles. The drafts have not worked since they opened and that's been a few years now. Prices about $6-10 for drinks. Kind of cheap wine but full bar available. Plenty of free parking in the front and back. Toledo needs more of this. I have met a few of the managers and they are receptive to suggestions. Come out and support.
