    What a hidden gem. They can make anything but ask Baxter to make you something. 3 business share the building so be sure to walk around.

    Popped in by chance. Visitors to Akron, and we were getting pizza to eat, a bartender next door recommended the live music downstairs. Incredibly impressed. Low key, solid music venue.

    To start, my only complaint is that the are hours away from me - we ventured here for a cosplay…read morecontest with Rubber Ciry Cosplay and we're not disappointed. The ambiance was perfect. Everyone on the staff was friendly, the prices were great, and they actually knew how to handle my Celiac Disease - and had some great options. 100% would go back. One caveat is that it is not friendly for mobility impaired, so if steps are not your jam, I'm sorry

    It breaks my heart how this place has devolved into middle school drama, where a mountain was made…read moreout of a mole hill. I used to game here for DnD but had to temporarily quit game, I recently found out a year ago I guess I made people uncomfortable during a game and I am not welcome at a table. None of this was brought to my attention when it happened, all I remember is one silly thing I would do that someone thought was excessive and I quit doing it (i.e., fart jokes). I followed all the game rules and was a courteous player. The DM never explained that I made someone/people uncomfortable nor anything was discussed with me, no clear communication. I was looking for a table months ago to come back to in discord, nothing was mentioned. I messaged multiple DMs over the year and once again, nothing mentioned. Yesterday I ask to join a one-shot game and I received a private message from someone at my old table a year ago saying they don't want to game with me but no actual explaination of why. I messaged the owner and that's how I found out about all this clique, childish, petty behavior with terrible communication. A bunch of full grown adults with control issues, clutching their man-pearls and being avoidant, he-motional, testerical men. The owner cannot even tell me why I was banned from DnD, he doesn't remember what I did! This place is a joke, I can't believe this is happening to me and I am never going back, even if they say I can come back and game. It's obvious someone wants me out and if I come back then I will be walking on egg shells until I finally get banned; very much high school drama from grown adults. Play Dungeons and Dragons somewhere else, if you can, it's not worth the risk. You could be playing a great game and spending money, thinking everything is ok but then if a DM doesn't like you then you will be treated the same way I was. It happened to me then it can happen to you. I was told I play DnD different, not wrong, not in an uncomfortable way, and that lead to me being banned without being told. Play at your own risk. Also this place has always had issues with getting waited on in a timely manner, overpriced food coming out late and sometimes orders getting messed up. I used to look past it but moving forward I won't be so forgiving of places anymore. I have no time and money for overpriced petty.

    Unique gift for those who enjoy experiences over "stuff". My sister and I took my mom here for…read moreMother's Day this year and I cannot say enough good things about this place! My mom is impossible to shop for, so I was super excited when I came across this Mother's Day special on the Akron Glass Works Facebook page. It is a beautiful old church converted into and art space right off of the University of Akron campus. There were about 12 people total with two instructors for the group. They gave a demonstration and then thoroughly went over all the steps with an emphasis on safety. I was a little nervous working with molten hot glass, but the professionalism of the instructors set me at ease. They're by your side the whole time... but you're actually creating the piece yourself. I have been to other glass blowing studios where the instructors are so hands-on, that you feel like you took no part in the entire process. Not this place. I definitely felt like I was making something and they were just there to make sure I didn't burn my hand off. The whole process took less than an hour and our pieces were available for pickup the next day. We each got to make two glass flowers which all turned out beautifully. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something different to do! We had such a great time!
