50 Best Bars in Akron

Corner Provisions Bar • $$
1070 Ghent Rd, Akron

“Really nice stop for lunch today. To tell you the truth, we were taken back by the small menu selections. The atmosphere is very nice...a wine bar feel. We sat out on the balcony. Again... very nice. The food came out quickly and fresh. It was..... very nice. Get it? It's a very nice place. Nothing outstanding or over and beyond what you'll get elsewhere, but they do things well and the food is good. The prices are maybe a bit high, but you can say that everywhere right now. I had the fish and chips ($25). Lake Erie Walleye with an herbal aoli. It was great, honestly. That walleye dish is an example of why lake erie walleye has such a great reputation. J got the corner smash burger ($19). A double patty cheeseburger with aged cheddar. It was very juicy. The cheese was great. Sauce was very good. A really, good burger. Fries were also pretty good. Coleslaw.... very, very light. The perfect coleslaw for a fish dinner. I'll be honest with you here. I don't like coleslaw. I've never eaten more than a small bite at one time in my life. This was the first coleslaw in my 50+ years that I actually ate and enjoyed the whole thing. Finished every bite. So there's that! Would I go back. Absolutely! We enjoyed it! Would I suggest it to an out of town friend looking for something great and different? Maybe not.“

“I recently had the pleasure of hanging out at Mercedes Tavern, and I can confidently say that it has become my new favorite spot in Akron! Under its new ownership, this tavern has transformed into a welcoming gem that truly captures the essence of community and great food. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The new owners are incredibly accommodating, ensuring that every guest feels valued and well taken care of. It's evident that they are passionate about creating a fantastic dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food! I tried the turkey melt with Dijon mustard, and it was absolutely delicious. The combination of flavors was spot on, and the sandwich was perfectly grilled to perfection. Paired with their crispy waffle fries, it made for a satisfying meal that I can't wait to have again. If you're looking for a place that offers great food and a welcoming vibe, Mercedes Tavern is a must-visit. I can't recommend it enough! Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite or a leisurely meal with friends, you're sure to leave with a smile on your face. Cheers to the new owners for creating such a delightful experience!“

“I came for early dinner and missed the Saturday night rush. The atmosphere was nice with decor and soft music. There was a full bar separate from the dining room and more than one dining room. They had a nice offering of wine on the menu. I started with a salad with house dressing. Fresh shredded cheese topped it off. It was good. There was also a basket of Italian bread that comes fresh every morning from local Massoli bakery. It was really good. I ordered the ravioli combo which is house made every morning. The combo had 9 large ravioli, 3 meat, 3 spinach and 3 cheese. They were very good. I got a side of house made hot Italian sausage with marinara. I really liked it. I finished with a house made cannoli which was excellent. Service was great and I enjoyed the meal. They have many house made items on the menu so I would like to come back and try some more. I read that the lasagna is popular and they have daily specials. I highly recommend.“

If you enjoy watching a miserable person treat customers poorly and get joy out of it, rosie is your girl. Also don't bother coming here for food when she's here. She said she avoids making food hoping you get drunk and forget about the food. You're better off coming later when one of the nicer bartenders are here.“
