What Clients Say

I stopped by for Christmas it was the only bar open, I got a Long Island and it was the best one I’ve had in a long time, the people were really friendly and nice, it was a fun atmosphere. And the bartender was out of this world with customer service, and even here dress was on point. Thanks guys!!! I’ll have to stop in another time and bring some friends.

Best paneer tikka I ever had in my life. Beautiful ambience with a lot of options to chose from. A good-to-go bar for music lovers. Located in an healthy place and just a couple miles from University of Akron. Do give a visit.
