Old 97 Cafe

We checked out this restaurant while we were in town in Akron, Ohio. When we walked in there weren't really any tables, but the folks moved and said that they were actually the owners. They were very friendly. They have a great cocktail menu. We tried many and enjoyed all of them. Great atmosphere, the inside had a live musician who was really good, they also had a live band outside on the back patio. We ordered nachos which were good. We also ordered the mac and cheese. Good times! Great service. Friendly owners and bartenders/servers.

Great food. Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. Incredible atmosphere, a very unique space - inside and outside. Very eclectic cocktail menu and the food menu changes almost daily. Hidden gem in a neighborhood that's headed in the right direction!

Great atmosphere, our bartender Meghan was friendly and helpful and the serivce was great. The food was good and they have a nice big patio with live music. The inside is a little small but has a lot of unique decor. The only downside is that it's a little high in price with a limited menu, maybe just a few more options would be good.

Local tavern vibes. For my friends who aren't acquainted to the 'hole in the wall' type places, fear not. Ignore the location and parking situation because this is no hole. Fantastic establishment with delicious cocktails that leaves you feeling like you've spent the evening at a pub in London. Can't wait to try out the patio in the warmer months!

First time at Old 97 and I will be back. This place was originally a train stop - stop 97. Inside is nice with lots of wood but the outside deck is awesome. If you like to eat/drink outside this is your kind of place. Service ls good and bartender is friendly. The owner makes rounds checking on the customers. Nice They have a lot of craft cocktails and have been expanding the food menu. We had the BBQ brisket nachos for an appetizer. They are fantastic. Did two filet dinners - both very good and cooked correctly.

It's really unfortunate the way this place has turned since its new ownership. It used to be a hidden gem, now it's exactly what is to be expected from this area. Poor quality, poor service and poor management. Would not recommend.

Very cool vibe in this place. Great food and music on the patio. If you're looking for a fun place for just a drink or something more, stop in Old 97 Cafe

Music and ambience is great. Food varies in quality. Check out what bands are playing when you want to go.

Awesome place! This is a destination restaurant, so if you're from a suburb around Akron, definitely worth the drive. Super safe, super fun, super great people. We will be going back.

Disappointed with the Salmon Tacos. Nothing like the description on the menu. I was served canned salmon tacos. I had the salmon tacos a few months ago and it was not canned salmon then.
