The Dougout Pub & Grill

Fantastic biker bar. Very divey, just how I like it. I just stopped in here for a quick road pop, but noticed plenty of people chowing down on food. According to most reviews, the food here is great. Will be back again to sample the menu.

Get the burger! Great dive bar, excellent service. Wings great too. Can't wait to go back.

Great burger! Seriously! Decent variety of mixed drinks. But not a ton on tap. Good prices! Neighborhood bar. Nothing fancy but you get the basic bar essentials.

Although the wait and bar staff were so nice, this bar leaves a lot to be desired. They were out of so many items on their menu and the good quality is not that good. The space is odd and interesting and it is definitely a more dive-y bar. Go for a drink or two, skip the food.

Finally went after many said to check it out for Sunday wings and not too shabby! Local dive and good people. Plus it was pre game of the NBA Finals game 7!Seem to have good deals all week, I just live to far away to enjoy. But my post CVNP bike ride stop now!Check it out!

The Doug Out is the kind of place Hunter S. Thompson might go looking for a gang bang and a cheap steak. I don't have anything personal against motorcycles, apart from the fact that they're constantly rolling down Rte. 303 to-and-from the Doug Out, past my house. It's a leather-clad asshole parade down my street every weekend in summer in Richfield.,..the price of living somewhere that qualifies as "scenic" by Ohio standards. Sure.....somewhere deep beneath my layers of education, domestication, and gentrification, I might acknowledge that motorcycles are pretty cool, but I still prefer to exchange hard looks with the grizzled bikers and their disturbingly masculine women from my fuel-efficient foreign car every time I drive past the Doug Out.So hence, I've been boycotting this place ever since moving to Richfield six years ago. My boycott was part indignation, part fear. And yet, there is one thing that will motivate me to overcome these fears and petty objections.....karaoke!I learned that the Doug Out offers karaoke (that noblest of art forms) on Friday nights, so I walked through the snowstorm last night to have my moment with the mic, and put an end to my boycott. I am a terror when it comes to karaoke. Let me introduce you to my set list from last night:Devo - Whip ItRed Hot Chili Peppers - Give it Away ( you need an extra pair of lips)Robert Palmer - Addicted to LovePrince - When Doves CryDoobie Brothers - What A Fool Believes Warren Zevon - Werewolves of London (as performed by Scooby Doo)(all sung with both gusto AND irony.)I know, I know...an awesome selection of tunes, right? In conclusion, the Doug Out is not so scary, and maybe even fun. Sure, some people threw shit at me from across the bar, but that is to be expected when you're publicly mocking a revered vocal talent like Michael McDonald. The good thing is, I'm 6'7" , 230 LBS, and perfectly capable of defending myself. And plus there was some other guy at the bar with immaculate grooming habits and a pricey-looking argyle cashmir sweater, so I figured he would be the first victim if any violence erupted from the mongrels lurking in the bar-room shadows, allowing me sufficient time to retreat to my Toyota and get the hell out of there.

I am not sure why the Dougout gets such poor marks with people-- I can only assume that most people only review a business when they are unhappy with it. We live in town, and though we don't "hang out" here, or any other bar for that matter-- we have gone with lots of friends on many different occasions-- sometimes we use it as a meeting spot before a concert, and sometimes we go to karaoke because some of our friends like to sing. There is a mixed group of husbands and wives, and a few single friends, and no one is ever uncomfortable. We also are not youngsters-- maybe that makes a difference. The food is decent and cheap here---and we have NEVER had to wait a long time for it. Drinks are reasonable and the bartenders pretty good. Also, the customers are all pretty chill--- yes, some of them ride motorcycles, so what?

Best darned burger I have ever had!! I cried it was so good. Wish this place was closer to home.

Great neighborhood pub. Nothing fancy but tasty food at low prices. They have a special every night and I don't know how they can offer such bargains. The pizza? Dare I say it's the best in town? And on Tuesdays a large pizza, enough for two people, is $10. Worth the drive from west Akron.

Terrible food. Even worse service. Servers name was Ninja. 24 beers on tap. No beer menu. Impolite workers
