Good beer and very friendly service. Definitely should not be called 69 taps because at least 30 of them were down. But still a decent selection. Fun pool and things to do. Great atmosphere. read more

Had a great time! Drinks are cheap and bartenders were great service. And place was very clean. read more

69 Taps - Pubs Near Me - Akron, Ohio

This place is a definite dive, but also just plain nasty. I mean dirty, and the food options are a joke. No way I'd return here. Yuck!

Bartenders are new... Willing to learn so if you're willing to explain your drink every time..

Amazing service from Mads, always coming over when I need a refill. Best bartender here for sure, unlike some of the other bartenders who seem to lack experience.. wish they would provide extra training for those who need the help. Mads is always very friendly and a busy bee! :) read more

What can I say about 69 Taps! This place is a great time. Not the rowdiest but isn't a dull atmosphere. Complete mix of college kids and college moms trying to relive the glory days. You'll have kids stopping by after their night class and adults stopping by on their way home from the office. If you want a truly unpredictable experience. Come down the steps of old taperoons and you'll become addicted to this fine establishment read more

Very chill atmosphere, good music, lots of cool games to play and enjoy some drinks. Reasonable price with a lot of various choices. Definitely will go back. read more

This bar is amazing I love to go there Monday steak night is fantastic I love all the appetizer and drink specials during happy hours Thursday Night Long Island are the shizznit and all the staff are awesome sauce!!! read more

69 Taps - Taps is awesome - Pubs Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Great beer selection Super Happy Hour on Friday, 4-9. $2 and $3 drafts. Enough for me! read more

Food was terrible didn't have hardly a selection to choose from. Ordered cheese burger but they didn't have onions,tomatoes, or pickles. The server smelled and asked the other server to smell the mayo didn't trust it after seeing that. Service was okay. read more

This has been one of my favorite spots since college and, since moving away, I am only able to stop in a few times a year. The beer selection is clutch and, since the opening of Barley House, it is never overly crowded and uncomfortable. I have noticed that the bar service has been much slower lately since the last time I was there (about a year ago) when there were different bartenders. The bathrooms were a bit nastier than I remembered, too, and I don't appreciate my jeans getting wet at the bottom from floors. Also, some of the prices for "premium" beers were a little higher than I'd expect for Ohio costs - they were more like the current prices I pay in Chicago. The outdoor patio is amazing when it's warm out and it provides some fresh air when you're a bit boozy. One warning - be careful of the 20+ stairs from the street into the bar - my friend Kelly had a St. Patrick's Day drunken misfortune of falling down all of them. It wasn't pretty. read more

This place has the worst service, they have 4-5 bartenders, half of them hide out in the back. I waited for a drink one night while 2 of the bartenders poured themselves a couple of pints, started drinking and talking about their days, ignoring us the customers. There were 5 other people waiting for beers and we all couldn't believe this was happening. If you go here, order 2 or 3 drinks at a time. read more

This is the worst beer bar in Akron. They have 69 Taps and their bartenders know nothing about any of them. The bartender didn't even know what an IPA was and could not describe any of the beers. Was thrown the tap menu when asked what brown ales they had. Plus service was slow. There was only thee other people at the bar!!! Horrible food choices and even worse attitude from the staff. Way better bars to spend your money at in Akron. Will not give this place anymore of my hard earned money. read more

PROS: -Great beer selection -Super Happy Hour on Friday, 4-9. $2 and $3 drafts. -Great location. If you want to do dinner before or more bars everything is easy to walk to. -Nice patio for the summer months. -Usually it's not too crowded and we usually are able to find a seat at the bar on a Friday night. -We've never had a problem with service and typically my bar isn't even gone before they're asking what's next. CONS: -The bar needs a serious scrubbing. Sticky floors and very sticky bar area. Bathroom also never really gets cleaned it seems. -Food is gross. Everytime we try to order the fryer doesn't work or something so they microwave. SO nasty. Learned to just eat before/after. Overall, a bar we love to visit and will keep visiting especially if they keep happy hour just as is :) read more

Probably my favorite place to get a drink, it's a hole in the wall, smells like piss, the floors are sticky, lately the bartenders kind of suck, but they have a lot of beer and it's a pretty good deal at happy hour. Has a nice patio in the summer and on Friday nights you can get a good view of the Aeros fireworks. On Monday nights they have $4 steak night with the purchase of two beers, which isn't bad. Other than the steak I would stay far away from their food! read more

69 Taps - a man with a horse mask on his head - Pubs Near Me - Akron, Ohio

For you beer lovers out there (69 taps!!)...this is the place to be. Especially for happy hour till 9:00 for $2 pints on Fridays. It's low key..a good place to just hang out and relax with friends without all the hype of a 'club' bar. Good selection of booths, tables, bar area... and good weather brings a small patio option. Minus one star for smokiness. read more

Great bar , awesome environment. The area is pretty big plus a patio! Have multiple pool tables , darts , fuseball table, connect 4, cornhole . Multiple bottle and draft beers to choose from. Great deals everyday. Happy hour 4-9 ! Sunday brunch 10-3 starting in June ! Come stop by! read more

"meh". Great selection of beer; terrible service and music too loud. Did I mention they have 69 types of beer on tap?

Great selection of beers. Pool tables and a patio. The restrooms are dicey.

I've been a long time customer coming to 69 taps at times once a week. Wanted to get a more current review up. For people that are looking for solid IPAs, this is the place in Akron to come. There has definitely been an improvement in the quality of beer in the last 6 months. There is less of the macro beers and more of the micros. Its still a college bar after 11pm but its now a serious beer bar before that time. As to the previous reviewer, they do not carry Roo Brew and would not expect to see it on tap. read more

Good beer selection, but nothing that you couldn't find elsewhere. Tends to draw the wrong crowd for the beers that it has, so the truly good beers (Dogfish Head, Bells) are usually sold out or spoiled, but the draft specials (coors, bud light, etc) are always around. Draws a mixed crowd, and is sure to please everyone in a group. Nobody will hate it, but nobody will love it, either. read more

I'm an avid beer drinker and whenever I order beers here they tend to taste worse than what I'm accustomed to. It's like they don't clean the tubes that the beer flows through or something. $4 dollar steak night on Monday's from 6-9 is the way to go! read more

Bar is dead on a Saturday night and I'm watching a different game on the tv at the bar, but the two bartenders choose to put OSU on instead. Your bar is dead and you have numerous tvs. Way to cater to your customers. "If you'd rather watch that than Ohio State." Does it look like we're in Columbus or I'm wearing OSU attire? read more

I like this place because I can walk here along the Tow Path, (nothing like a beer after exercising) and they serve Roo Brew! The beer slingers are quick and friendly. read more

Ok Akronite's. When it comes to a great selection of IPAs Akron pubs come up short. No you say, ? well to be fair I'm native San Diegan so I'm tainted. But for me It was tough to find a GOOD hoppy/ citrusy non malty IPA. Then I was referred to "69 Taps". Hated their (not open till 4 pm) deal. But i'm sure THEY know the local market & cost to staff this place so. Any way, excellent selection & the gal who was serving me knew far more about good IPAs than any place I when to in town. ( On Tap, Winking Lizard, , (Baxters came in second place for brews & knowledge). Place next door to Baxters, & a 1/2 doz. other places not worth mentioning. I went there on a Monday & their special was a steak dinner for $4 bucks ! Crazy deal. 69 Taps has a cool patio out back as well. If you are a " IPA" Nazi then do yourself a favor & hit this place up. read more

This place is just awful now. It's been on the decline for a while but it has definitely hit rock bottom. The only two servers working decided to go on a 10 min. break together and smoke weed on the patio while leaving the bar unattended. Upon returning to the bar, they didn't even wash there hands. This was the last time that I will ever go here. They need to properly train there staff. Just avoid this place at all costs. The cheap prices aren't worth the awful service/environment. read more

Typical college area bar with lots of seating, good bartenders and a big patio.

Great beer selection. Had the Turkey wrap, which was pretty good. Prices are reasonable. However, service was slow and you pretty much had to raise your hand and wait for them to notice. read more

This place is rough, dirty and dark, very uneasy atmosphere the later it gets, can be empty most times as there are much better spots in the area. 69 taps don't really get you anywhere if you don't keep the lines clean or know anything about what you are serving. I know you shouldn't expect much from a collage bar, but this falls below that even. read more

They have a great selection of craft breweries. Their prices are really good especially during Happy Hour. The service is great they're friendly, talkative and smiling. It's got a divey feel but the beer selection and the service really make up for it. read more

Summer happy hours- the place to be. I cannot tell you how many times I have strolled out to the back patio alone on a hot day after work (delicious draft beer and cigarettes in hand) to find friends down there. The bartenders are all very friendly and sweet, and the selection of beer is awesome. I would never go to taps on a busy Thursday night (the Lounge upstairs is the place to be on a Thursday, so expect a packed bar of undergrads at Taps pre-gaming) but Monday night is super chill, and it's steak night! $3 for a Steak, Salad and Bread roll. While it may seem too cheap to be good, it's fresh meat, cooked and seasoned well, and truly the best decision you will ever make. I lived across the street last year and made it to Steak night nearly every Monday (great if you're a student) read more

Nice patio! But very high on the douchbag radar. Bring your white baseball cap and sandals.

Terrible service, everything is sticky, and the drinks are really weak. However, if you stick to the specials it is the perfect place to start your buzz. read more

Came to this bar for the first time with a friend. We sat there for half an hour and never got any service, none of the girls even stopped to check on us. Needless to say, we left without buying anything and will NOT be coming back. read more

This was the best beer bar in Akron with the hottest bartenders. Now the girls are bitchy and there was some old crusty lady working. They need to fire her and get hot girls with personality like they used to have. read more

Worst service I have ever received. I was completely ignored on a number of occasions in the 69 Taps Akron location on 7/11/11. Honestly, I was left wondering what I might have done to be so blatantly disrespected. At one point I had received a beer in a glass with lipstick on it and not only did I not receive an apology but had the server turn and walk away without saying a thing. At another point this server acknowledged me then turned her back and walked away as if intentionally ignoring my order. I learned as I was cashing out that the server in question was the manager. Her behavior was actually childish. I am from Akron and will never go there again. read more
