D'Agnese's at White Pond Akron

★★★★☆ 4 (205) • $$

"We were able to get in without a reservation. I might suggest making one as they were fairly busy on Saturday night. We sat in the lounge area which was very comfortable and we had sports on the TV's! I started with a roasted beet salad which was truly amazing. In my world anything with beets is worthy. My entree was gluten free pasta with marinara and sausage. Excellent sauce. I accompanied this with a Peach Basil Sangria. I loved the fresh fruit in the drink which of course included peaches."

Mahall's Twenty Lanes

★★★★☆ 4.2 (136) • $$

"Went to brunch with friends and we all loved what we ordered. The chicken breakfast sandwich was delish as well (not pictured). We were SCARFING down the home fries and after much debate, think they are broken up hash brown patties. Very decadent for straightforward food."

The Winchester Music Tavern

★★★★☆ 4 (81) • $

"Y'all, I love this place! I've been here for Drag Shows, Plant Bingo, Vinyl Sales, and just for dinner and drinks and I've had such a splendid time on each visit! The Winchester is located in a prime area of Lakewood with plenty of stereo parking within a block. The front half of the building is a bar and restaurant and the back is the venue, where you can also order drinks and food. The venue space is decent sized and the stage is huge, which was great for drag. I always find that The Winchester is always pretty organized, even on days when they are understaff, they make it work and make sure everyone gets taken care of. It's such a fun spot! There's honestly nothing special about the way that it's decorated and the bathroom situation isn't great but overall the vibes are good and they host a bunch of great events. Love this place!"

Hooley House Sports Pub & Grille

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (69) • $$

"Popped in for a quick pub lunch on the road. An unassuming building but boy is it a divey sports bar inside. Lots of screens for watching games and lots of darkness for losing track of time. We sat at the bar an ordered off the lunch menu. I opted for a patty melt and my husband for boneless wings. The patty melt was perfectly cooked. I opted for no swiss and to add American instead and it was so ooey gooey melty. It was exactly the comfort food needed. The fries were crispy. I didn't hear a word from my husband hwile he was eating so I will take that as a sign that the chicken was good. Great dive you should check out!"

The Foundry Concert Club

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32) • $

"Two words: emo night. It was an absolute blast from angsty high school dancing with a ton of emo strangers from across the area. The bartender was super nice and made me a no sugar added margarita as well and it was only 5 bucks!-"

Sportsterz Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (32) • $

"Cool place to grab some cold drinks and bar food. Clean and good service. Good selection of beers and full bar. Pizza was good. Mushroom burger was awesome. Great flavor with fresh toppings. Chicken tenders were ok but I regret not getting the wings. They have an outside area with live music and picnic tables. Keno as well."

Whiskey Island Still & Eatery

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (46) • $$

"I can't say enough good things about the service. Our server, Rose, was a sweetheart. Efficient, friendly and attentive. There were several other people who ran food or helped with other things and they were all great as well. The band playing was a lot of fun and really involved the crowd- some of the employees were having with it too. It was a really casual, fun atmosphere and we enjoyed ourselves. There was plenty of seating, the restrooms were clean and everything was stocked appropriately. Our food was mediocre. A little pricey for what we received. I don't think any of us finished our meal because it was just lackluster. I do wish I had tried a pineapple drink or another cocktail I watched go by. They looked delicious and everyone said the drinks were wonderful. I missed out. :-(If there was a band playing there I wanted to see, I would definitely go back. I might just eat ahead of time and get drinks/ appetizer instead."

Time Warp Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (34) • $

"This place is completely deceiving. I was a little intimidated at first glance. Tinted windows, drink specials plastered on the exterior glass, a cheesy bar name. But what the hell. We were out here anyways waiting on a pizza at Sweet Basil and decided to wait out the completion of our order at this adjacent bar. Inside, it's a complete time warp as the name appropriately suggests. '80's kitsch everywhere. Movie paraphernalia, framed gold records, lava lamps, mini-football helmets like every little boy collected in their youth and more. Seating includes plenty of high-tops, a bar with apx. 10+ stools and a few comfy couches. The space is extremely clean and tidy. Not skeevy at all. My Mom would totally approve. It almost looked brand new. The bartender is very accommodating and told us about some of the weekly entertainment that included beer pong! She went on to say that if we ever order at Sweet Basil again, they would offer to call over there so they could let us know when our order was ready. How accommodating! I can see this place being great for a reunion or a trivia night. If nothing more, the cheese factor alone would be plenty entertaining."

The Quarry

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (16) • $

"Love the quarry! Cheap drinks! Bands every weekend! The bartenders are Fabulous!!! and the fried bologna is to die for!!!"

Tricky Tortoise Brewing

★★★★☆ 3.7 (12)

"The first time I went to tricky tortoise was when they first opened and it wasn't the best, but they really turned around some of the food to make it more high quality and delicious. The second time I went there was live music and a magician that was going around to different tables which was a lot of fun. Servers are very attentive and nice. I am happy I gave this place a second chance"

Welcome To The Farm

★★★☆☆ 3 (13)

"WTF is an awesome bar found in the Flats in Cleveland. If you like country music, this is your place. During the day there's plenty of seating and they serve food. I've never had their food but it looked fair. During the night, they take the tables away on the inside and open the floor up for dancing and watching the live band if there is one set for that night. Typically the bands play country music but I have heard them go into different genres. The women's bathroom has multiple stalls so there rarely any waiting! Service has always been good. Drinks are pricey. But that's just the area, this bar is in the heart of the flats so you can bar hop. There's most likely a cover charge after a certain time- I typically day drink so I don't know that the cost is but I could assume $10. Best to ride share to these places but they do have a lot you can pay to park. I've never had a bad time here and I definitely recommend checking this place out!"
