“Oh my Wednesday special dish was off the hook delish! Thank you to all who put this together! Moist tender full of flavor pork chop, creamy cheesy Mac n cheese and garlicky broccoli ! You are missing out if you don’t try these specials! Always amazing service from Courtney and Charlie too!“

“A BIG BIG shout out to the Blind Squirrel Pub, who presented us with an unbelievably mind boggling amount of food at the end of the night at Kent Stage - an array of assorted fruits, nuts, cheeses, meats and crackers, all lovingly and artistically arranged, along with some wrap deli sandwiches and an overflowing olive tray as well. You could tell a lot of thought and heart was put into it, by the way they incorporated our logo and created a beautiful peace sign as the centerpiece. It was hard to walk away from it, wanting to sample everything, but you can believe that I made sure that none of it went to waste. What wasn't eaten there I brought home with me - so much goodness! Thank you guys so much! That was above and beyond!“

“The food is good and the people are nice. Staff and customers included. Try a few things. Trust.“

“I love this place and visit regularly. The food could use some attention because they don't have consistent hours where the menu is available. Stopped in at 7 and was not able to order once-- what?! But outside of that, all the bartenders are amazing! I do miss Kim and Krista. Morgan, Jake, and the others great still. I really love the patio and the laid back atmosphere. They have a good pour and good vibes!! Great little spot in Kent! <3 <3 <3“

“Stopped in on a whim for a burger and fries. OH MAN....am I glad we did - this was by far, one of the best, if not the best burger I have had in a very long time. My husband agreed. There was nothing at all to complain about. The bartender was our server, and he was super as well.“

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. Logan was our server and he made the experience even better. He was super knowledgeable, attentive and fun! My fiance and I really enjoyed ourselves! We live out towards Pittsburgh but this will most definitely be a stop every single time we're out this way. 😄“

“My favorite place in Akron to hang out.“

“Under new ownership and completely renovated, there’s a feeling of electricity in the atmosphere pumping good vibes into the night flowing thru the dense crowds drawn into the modern and sleek establishment. Service is quick and on point with beautiful bar maids serving drinks and a new menu of delicious choices served quick and hot. Stevos Tavern is a focal point of excellence and is enhanced by the great patrons that make this local spot a favorite.“

“🎶🍻🥃nice neighborhood. Close enough to walk to.“

“Back in 1975 when I was just a kid hitchhiking in Tallmadge Ohio. A Zulu patch holder was getting off the expressway ramp and saw me hitchhiking. He pulled over and said hop on and proceeded to take me home. That was almost 50 years ago and I still remember my brother on the big red bike. Thanks again.“

“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!“

“Great Service, Knowledgeable Staff, and Tons of Fun!

I recently visited Bottles 101, and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. Craig and the crew are exceptionally knowledgeable about the wide range of beers and cocktails they offer. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or a cocktail connoisseur, they know their stuff and can recommend something perfect based on your preferences. The service is top-notch, friendly, and efficient, making the whole experience enjoyable. And don't forget the free popcorn—Craig has been working for years to perfect it, and it's the perfect snack to pair with your drinks! Plus, they now offer shuffleboard, which is a ton of fun and adds a great extra element to the experience. If you're looking for a great place to unwind with excellent drinks, fantastic service, and a bit of friendly competition, this spot is definitely worth checking out!“

“Gonna go Ck. It out for the 1st time. Throw some darts“

“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.“

“Local neighborhood bar. Nothing fancy, always good people to talk to. Also, they have a ping pong table in a netted area. There are a few serious players that frequent the place. So, if you play, bring your paddle. Many spirited matches to be had!“

“bonfire out back and good prices good people always fin!!!“

“great food especially the fried green tomatoes!“

“A great place to be. The people you meet are real. I have met many a friend and love them all.“

“I went here, after having such a nice day in Akron. I thought before I walked in, what a "dive bar"...will I end up pregnant, married or both...lol...I was pleasantly surprised. This place was like the Cheers bar in Boston... everyone will know your name before you leave. They had very attentive bartenders. As a woman alone, I felt very comfortable and very welcomed. And no, not pregnant nor married.“

“Fun and exciting. Went there when I needed a friend... Always found one there. Best bartenders around!!!“

“Great group of people! Always a good time. Love the owner Sam!“

“We love Kep’s. Great atmosphere, good food and awesome selection of drinks.“

“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.“
