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 love this place. Great food, great friends, great prices. But they have a bartender named rosie who is absolutely rude to the point where you just feel sad for her. She's off at 5 mon-fri. 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.“

Lord of the Rings inspired, medieval decor, amazing food, unique and fun cocktails and mocktails and over 850 board games! This is everything I want in a place and more. Plus the service is AWESOME.
