8 Best Brewpubs near Akron

“I come to Hoppin Frog once a month because of the beer and the people. Real talk, I meet a new person here every Friday Happy Hour that rocks. Bartenders rock, give great recommendations and always room to take beers home. Shout out to Tatianna!“

“Food was good. I had the chicken chili which was tasty and it wasn't spicy at all, which I liked. Two people in my party had brisket tacos and liked them. Service was a little slow but they were packed - Saturday night before a show at the nearby Akron Civic Theater. Parking lot is really rough dirt surface - and it was packed so had to park in another nearby makeshift lot. Overall ambiance fun but loud and crowded. Still I'd go back again. Convenient to the theater. Therefore be sure to make reservations.“

“Craft brews at their finest. Stopped here with friends and could not wait to start trying the great selection of different style beers they have. All I tried were excellent. They offer food as well with a number of handheld, burgers, and pizza. I had the brat sandwich. Comes with onions and peppers and a side of chips. Brat had a good snap and was tasty. Went well with the German style beers they offer.“

“Brighten is our go-to place for a fantastic lunch and quality beer. The space is open and airy giving plenty of room for a meeting or big group to gather comfortably. The staff is probably the highlight of the experience. Brian, Brian, and Kristen (she makes the best food) always take fantastic care of their customers whether it’s first time visitors or a regular. The atmosphere is perfect for literally any group. It’s quiet enough- but not boring, the vibe is fun, the food is FABULOUS, the service is personal, and the beer is cold and tasty! This is a gem of a place in Copley you can count on for a good time!“

“This is an awesome little brewery. I just love the decor. I had a really great tasting orange wheat beer, plus, if not the best - one of the best all beef hot dogs I have ever had in my life to date, called, "The Heater", OMG!! I will certainly be a patron.“

“10 star salads ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4/26/24:Our 2nd time back, and we had a fabulous time. I rambled on about the delicious salad and never mentioned their tasty brews in my first review. This was because I was the DD and I was so happy to not only be able to responsibly take my family and friends out but also get a delicious salad as well ? I got the Greek salad this time, was a little nervous it wouldn't hold up to the first salad reviewed, and I am glad I did try it! So, 5 stars for the pizza, drinks, and salads ?4/19/24:It's been a while since we found a place where we all agree or where we all have a great dinner! We ordered a few of their pizzas that were really good and their salads -wow! I am trying to eat healthier, and to find a tasty salad is a lot harder to find, I have come to find out. HiHo did not disappoint!!! Chicken was actually chicken and was so good!This is a nice place for just about everyone. It's even an awesome place for families with small children as the place is noisy but a good noisy with talk and laughter, so unless they really start screaming, they will have a good time as well. We arrived around 5 p.m. and it soon was filling up on Friday night. I will definitely want to go again soon ?“

“Love this spot! The beer wall has a very good selection for all kinds of beer drinkers. The food is really good as well. Love the atmosphere and the patio. Highly recommend stopping here for a drink and some food! First time here but we will be back for sure!“

“Music Trivia on Fridays with Nox are so much fun! Pretzels (especially with chive butter) and Keg tots are great appetizers to go with the trivia.Also - all the beers and drinks we've had have been great. The Strawberry Magic from Ciderboys is the guest tap currently and a delicious cider.Great service, very attentive.We'll definitely be back!“
