31 Best Bars near Norton

“Updating this to a 5 star after our visit last night. Under new ownership you can tell everyone enjoys working there. Food & drinks were great, and the owner gave us a tour of the Speakeasy, which is open on the weekends. I highly recommend stopping by. We ate at the bar, cheers!“

“We enjoyed working with Nikki for catering the grad party for our twins. The food was amazing! From the initial tasting he provided to the delivery of the food in containers that fit right into warming trays, everything was delicious. And his portion for 150 people was spot on. We hope he'll send the food truck to Holmes County soon!“

“We like coming here. It’s a chill atmosphere with great food! We also like that it’s what we call a fun dive bar and miss these type of places since our old dive bar we hung out at closed a few years ago. Definitely a place to check out and hang out at!“

“Franks is the typical hole in the wall and those of you that have read my reviews know I love these places. The service is good at Franks and the bartenders are friendly and can carry a conversation. Atmosphere is very eclectic - see my pictures. The food specials are a deal so make sure to check those out. I had the cowboy burger on this visit but have also had the NY strip which is good. The cowboy burger is sautéd onions, cheddar, bacon and candied jalapeños. Handmade burger and very tasty. Only complaint is the burger was thick but not wide enough to cover the bun. Give Franks a try“

“Absolutely love this place. Great food and a great list of different beers. Highest recommendations!Kid-friendliness: I have taken my kids many times. We don't stay late, but I have never seen any negativity there or ridiculously idiot people. Against, highest recommendations!“

“Located inside the new Beautiful Court Yard Marriot North Side, The Speak East lounge is beautifully decorated with a great atmosphere, they make some amazing drinks, the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend it.Parking: Not a problem parking, multiple optionsWheelchair accessibility: Easy parking at North Side, area is very well lit, very busy location with a lot of pedestrian traffic, nearby you have Gearstar Perfromance Transmissions which is lit up like a UFO“

“We went on a Sunday afternoon. Place got pretty crowded pretty fast!! When we saw the prices in the menu and then got our food, we realized why. I had a burger and my wife had the buffalo chicken wrap and fries and pretzels with cheese dip. We will go back and try some more stuff. Great job!!“

“I can’t recommend Baxter’s Speakeasy enough. It’s the best spot in Akron for a uniquely boutique vibe and the most wonderfully crafted cocktails created by mixology magicians. The vibe is just *right* and it’s exactly what you would want from a speakeasy. The private parties are a charcuterie paradise of sheer meat and cheese wizardry so I definitely recommend inquiring within for your next party.“

“Stopped in last night for the first time while waiting for a pizza next door. Had a great time. Curt or Kurt (SP) made some great recommendations and we had a nice chat about the place. I look forward to bringing my wife back for some pizza from next door and a cocktail or 2!“

“Small inside but has a very nice atmosphere. You mostly see regulars there who stop for a drink after work or are there for the live music on the weekends. The musician's I've seen there have all been very good and the owner Sam is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet .“

“You have to stop in and try the most amazing burgers, and of course bourbon drinks around! They really know what they are doing here! And make sure to ask for Kristin. She is amazing and made killer drinks! Can’t wait to try more amazing menu items. Thanks for a terrific first experience.“

“Now I can’t remember the smash burger I had but I know it had the house specialty sauce. In the first bite, the flavors of each item combined create the taste of fresh ingredients. The beef is fresh and local, as in a few miles away local. Everything that makes up that burger was local. I wish I had a picture to show but I smashed it with the quickness. The taste of that juicy burger left me separated from reality until there was nothing left. At that point I zapped back into reality so I didn’t get a pic. I’ll for sure be back again and hopefully get a picture for you all. Also, in the back, the kitchen is impressively clean. It looked as if they had just moved in that day. I arrived just before closing hours and a manager showed me the operations in the back while my burger was being made. Retro Burger has an excellent standard and that is why I’m recommending it. Give it a try and post the picture for me hahaha.Side note and off subject and NOT related to Retro Burger at all, I will always write reviews only if I feel that it is worthy of a 5 star. A negative experience with any business should always be addressed with the business owner first. An owner should always be made aware of any potential issues. Help each other out and lift each other up.“

“My friends and I met up here Sunday also with my kids and loved the atmosphere the bartender is super nice. Games everyone will loveFor a family of 4 I only spent $50 on food and drinksTotal I spent on games I would say $100 and we were there from 2-5Definitely will come again“

“This is THE SPOT!Small grub spot in the Portage Lakes area with outstanding service and food! Clean and cool atmosphere. Hand breaded Cod is better than places I have had on the CA coast. Fresh cut fries and fresh Broasted chicken is absolutely delicious and the portions leave you full and satisfied.This is a must if your are in the area. Its actually worth a half day drive through Ohio to visit. ?“

“I had the fish and it didn't taste that great. Everyone else liked there meal especially the lasagna. This house salad dressing was the bomb and the apps where great to. Menu said the onion rings where beer batter but the where breaded. We prefer beer batter. Over all I would say it was almost a 5 star. Staff was friendly and attentive.Wheelchair accessibility: The do have handicapped parking and once in the restaurant it all on one floor.“

“Great little bar exciting place to be on a Friday night for the queen of hearts. Great service friendly people I'd recommend to anyoneParking: There's plenty of parking but it does get crowded and sometimes parking becomes scarce!“

“Right in the heart of my hometown, Kenmore in Akron, Ohio. I try & visit every time I visit back home. Always a great atmosphere, crazy mixes of music, really nice outside deck, my fav bartender... Jeff knows how to keep a good vibe going.Ok, I shouldn't even put this out there but I have these super sexy pictures that have been unreleased to the public until now... Lol. For real though, it's a good time.“

“BEST MIXOLOGIST IN THE AREA. As someone who is pretty picky in what type of alcohol they like, I have liked everything made for me here. I’m shocked at how few people know about the place, but I guess that’s the point of a speakeasy. They also did a great job setting up an environment that accentuates the great drinks.“

“Great 1st experience..Was recommended by friend,didnt disappoint.. Get the chips with their homemade dip,awesome. The pizza was sooo good. They bring you a 'shaker' of their special spicy seasoning to put on pizza...defibetly try it. We bought some to bring home,it's that good. Hubby enjoyed the beers,great selection. This place is a hidden gem... but folks find it,they do a great business“

“We took a day trip to Akron for a festival and stopped into this bar while exploring the town. This bar was huge, clean, and beautiful! Our bartender was so sweet and answered all our questions! You can't beat their happy hour prices as well! I got the house cab and it was phenomenal! If I lived in the area, I would come all the time!“

“This is a great little neighborhood bar and grille. The food here is surprisingly great. Our party was of 12 people and we all ordered different dishes. Everyone was well pleased with their order. The servers at the canal boat lounge are very attentive and cordial to their guests, nice little family vibe.“

“Cool little place, everyone loved the burgers they ordered, I thought my Reuben could have been more moist, I'm just used to melt in your mouth corn beef. The service was spectacular, loved the fries and drinks were very good. I will go back and try the Swiss Burger, everyone raved about it!“

“Called and ordered wings and fries for the game Sunday. Thus was our first time gettfood from there and they did not disappoint,the wings were awesome,they were big and meaty and perfectly cooked and sauced and the fries were a little crispy just like I requested. The staff were polite and friendly as well. We will definitely be going here many times in the future. Give em a shot you won't be disappointed. Well done guys????“

“If there are any problems with Bartenders or an employee get ahold of Chuck Korver owner. Any concerns you have, safety and or liabilities talk to Chuck and give him a chance to handle it. Any problems with other customers call Chuck about it. He will deal with it. Read reviews where someone was using Laundromat next door. Then went to leave. But Couldnt bc blocked in. Again call Chuck so he can take care of it and the customers violating fire code. Customers that bring there drinks out the bar outside Call Chuck. He will make sure customers are compliant. Chuck doesn't put up with bologna.“

“WOW!!! First time here…did NOT disappoint!!! Had the orange pork chop, fried brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes special…all I can say is OMG!!! I don’t usually leave reviews, good or bad, and I am very critical of pretty much EVERYWHERE I eat! I recommend this place to everyone!!!! Staff is AWESOME as well!!!!“

“We were so impressed with the Star Inn. From first foot in the door everyone was so friendly! Staff were great, food was amazing and our room was top notch. Just what a local pub should be like! Top marks all round, we will be back! Oh and breakfast was cooked to perfection!“

“So we stopped in this place on the way home and meant this really cool gentleman who tends the bar named Steve. This is a local bar that has been around for quite some time. I hope you all take a minute to stop in and give this place a visit.“

“Me and my girlfriend stumbled on this place on a Friday evening, loved the vibe and setting and decided to stay for the music. It was an absolute treat!!! The drinks were amazing!!!! The band was amazing!!! This will be a place we will definitely be coming back to!!!“

“I ordered barbequed ribs and chicken for pickup. I got two sides with each dinner .The ribs and chicken were grilled outside and were delicious as were the sides . You get a choice of sides . They serve other great food also . Their crew are friendly ! I will be ordering again !!“

“A great little neighborhood bar. The regulars welcome new comers and the owner of the bar always has a hello for you. Not a pick up bar but it’s not impossible lol. They have an electronic dart board, juke box with a great sound system, karaoke, and musicians. It’s a good place to stop for a beer or drink and of course to get drunk. Lol.“
