So my wife and I were out last night enjoying the weather. We wanted to get a drink on a patio when we found this place. We walked in and I immediately went to the rest room to wash my hands. Bathroom is spotless. Almost as if it was your own home clean. I walk out and my wife has a huge grin on her face and starts giggling. She said that they have live music. A women was up on stage singer. Absolutely stunning. She is that good. She looks at my wife and I and stops singing and says “ hey everyone, we got another straight couple”. My wife and I bust out laughing because we had no idea it was a gay bar. I looked around the bar and sure enough, mostly good looking clean cut guys with a couple ladies. The singer says “ you guys go sit with the other straight couple, and I’m buying you all a shot for being here”. My wife and I laughed harder than ever. We had a blast and stayed till they closed. To the point we were asked to leave they were really closed. We were the last people there talking with staff. No matter what your sexual preference is, this place is a must see. We are in town for awhile on business and I can assure you we will be back. Some of the nicest people we ever have met. Nobody was in appropriate with either one of us. So if you’re reading this please understand we don’t typically write reviews ever. But if you want some live entertainment, have some strong inexpensive drinks, this place is a must see. Thank you to all that we’re working last night. We will definitely be back.

It's always great to go and relax with a drink. Some of the older customers had attitudes. Just ignore them.

No doubt, this is hands down my absolute favorite bar in Akron. The staff there? They're super chill, friendly, and know how to mix up some seriously good drinks. Plus, they always have cool events going on, and it's right smack in the heart of downtown Akron where you've got tons of food options nearby. And here's the best part: the crowd is crazy diverse! I'm talking folks in their early 20s all the way up to their 80s hanging out together. The atmosphere here truly embodies the essence of a thriving community.

My boyfriend loves this place! Not only that but it's very discreet! I would have never found out he was cheating on me if I didn't have an apple air tag :)

Dirty Racist Dive Bar!I’ve been here three time and will never go back again. Every time I’ve been here the staff is very rude and seemingly go out of their way to make sure BLACK LGBT know that they are not welcome. The main crowd is a group of white older racist coke-heads. The first time I went there was a nat(a small fly) in my drink and the bar tender was extremely nasty and reluctant to make me another, so I asked for a beer and I don’t even regularly drink beer. The second time I went with a group of friends and asked if they could play HipHop. I was told, “It’s not that kind of bar and if that’s what you’re looking for you should probably go somewhere else.” This third time it was made pretty clear that I wasn’t welcomed, as I never received service. If you’re BLACK and looking for a gay bar to go to I would suggest Square Bar or maybe even Matinee which has a pretty alternative crowd. I’m giving this place 1 STAR, I wish I could give it 0.

I was walking later in the evening with my friend and we passed this bar, the door was open so we decided to stop in for a drink.Kota the bar tender was friendly and attentive. The drinks were good and prices fair.Music played the whole time and they were all good songs.The other patrons were respectful.Will definitely return.

Been coming here for longer than I care to mention but it’s always been a great local bar
They say apps like Grndr ruined gay bars. Actually, gay bars like Tear EZ ruined gay bars. I've been going to Tear EZ for nearly 20 years and to say it's gone down hill would be an understatement. The bar is dingy and smells funky, the clients are geriatric zombies, and the wait staff are less interested in being there than anyone who happens to wander in. Rick, who nearly died 6 times, should retire - he's worthless. They have a inconveniently located pool table that's not worth the 4 quarters it takes to play it. READ THE OTHER REVIEWS! People hate this place and so do I. As a cross dresser, they go out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable. To hell with Tear EZ.

Boring too small. I prefer bars and clubs with hype and fun. I set my expectations too high thinking it would be a fun club but realizing it's a chill bar rather than a hype on.

If your underage they never card. Best place to buy crack. Most bartenders deal and they have the akron police paid off. If your a troll, twink, or a****** you will fit right in. They killed a friend of mine at the bar. Fell off the bar stool and nobody did anything. Owner/bartenders should have been charged with manslaughter at the least. They have city paid off so if you want to kill somebody this is the place to do it.
