22 Best Cocktail Bars in 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.“

“Wonderful atmosphere! Excellent food choices! But the service and attention are what sets this restaurant apart from many we have been patrons of. Our waiter and bar attendant were amazing! We absolutely enjoyed everything! Big shout out to Brian our fantastic waiter and Shaun our bartender for the evening! Well done fellas!“

“Wow! The atmosphere is on point! Great jazz and blu’s experience. We will definitely be back.“

“Thrilled to have a restaurant of this caliber in our neighborhood, it’s been a long time coming. The elevated ambiance envelopes you immediately upon entering but the attention to detail is what takes this restaurant to the next level- the service, the music, the handmade sugar scrub for hands in the elegant bathroom, the meticulously hand crafted and unique cocktails, and last but not least, the delicious cuisine, with each dish presented like a work of fine art. We enjoyed an incredible birthday dinner for two, each dish we tasted was sublime. The cocktails were absolutely top notch, even the mocktail was mind-blowingly good. The wine list is top notch. We cannot recommend Stirling more highly if you are looking for a fine dining experience on every level!“

“Everything we ordered was delicious. Our salads and dinners were scrumptious. Recommend the Alfredo sauce on anything. Chicken cutlets were cooked to perfection. The wait staff was very nice and attentive. Enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely be back.“

“I remember my mother working here when I was younger“

“Hands down the BEST calamari I’ve had in Ohio. Mixologists were top notch, as were the cocktails. Reasonably priced with an opulent atmosphere. Cannot wait to return 💕“

“😀 Tony Desiree & Patience (misspelled) made the meal…professional, but relaxed… quick, but not rushed. Thank you! Long day of traveling & the hotel let me down…so grateful El Patron stayed open to get me in! Great tequila too.“

“Fantastic chefs table experience for our anniversary!!! 7 courses with wine pairings! Amazing service and food!!“

“This was a neat place to grab a bite to eat. It serves light breakfast items, lunch, and dinner. It has a full bar as well. After you are seated, you have to go to the register to place your order. There is coffee at the entrance when you enter. Service was pleasant, and the food came out quickly. It is a little pricy for lunch. For 2 people, we paid $82 for a specialty burger, shrimp and grits, devil eggs, and non-alcoholic drinks.“

“The BEST aound!!!!“

“We were visiting Akron from the Youngstown area. The wedding soup was awesome and so was the baked ziti. Wish it was closer.“
