I wish they had more canned beverage options but they do have drink specials and a good beer list. Just not what I drink in particular.

Maaaaaan I wanted to love this place!!!!…read more First visit ever for me. It's a Monday and I had high hopes. Jazz Night!! We were 2 of 3 people there. I hated to leave but they didn't open until 7, and we had not eaten yet. The food variety is just typical bar food. I wasn't enticed enough to risk it. Service - they really need someone that appreciates jazz to bring the right crowd in. This particular bartender seemed less than thrilled to be there. Ambiance - If they work on that, this place would be a gold mine on Mondays!!! Needs a loungy intimate setting. Small tables in front of the stage along with thick deep read curtains surrounding. We walked into a dead cold bar and odds are we will not be back.

My daughter's wedding was this past weekend. It was fantastic! The Summit Event Center was the…read morefirst place we toured a year ago. Right from the first meeting with Becky, we knew this was the right fit for the wedding reception. Our goal was to have all events for the weekend in Downtown Toledo and The Summit Event Center was perfect! The Hotel was a block away and all other events were close by within walking distance which made it easier for the guests. Becky is so informative and professional, always returning calls or emails within a day. Becky and her staff took so much stress out of the wedding reception planning. The free monthly tasting were so helpful. This gave us a chance to bring various people to the tastings to help choose the right food and see the venue. It also gave us an opportunity to get to know the staff. They exceeded our expectations! We wanted to customize our food and make it a fall theme. Chef Keith was so helpful and willing to figure out the right combinations of foods. The late night snack of chicken chunks and mac and cheese was a huge hit! Hannah, the Bar Manager, made a fall specialty drink with warm apple cider that was also a favorite with the guests. All of the waitstaff were attentive and polite making sure everything was as we had requested. The house DJ was an awesome choice! Having the use of the inventory of event decorations was a big money saver. We loved going thru the items to get ideas. The package pricing made it so much easier to plan the budget for the reception. Becky was so helpful in making changes to the package that fit our needs. Our families and friends had an excellent time from the delicious food and drinks to the fun dance music to the wonderful decorations, we highly recommend having an event at The Summit Event Center! Thanks to Becky, Hannah, Chef Keith and the rest of the staff! We made some awesome memories!

About 45 minutes later we were finally called up to the buffet just to find out that pretty much all the food was gone anyway. And the food that was left was cold and not at all flavorful.

So if you're looking for cheap go somewhere else. Here the price matches the quality. Service is above average. I judge this by if I must ask for a drink refill of if the server is attentive enough to notice. They are perfect here. Checking in with you about needs without being a pain in the ass. Atmosphere is subdued light in a bar Atmosphere. Yet you can talk in a normal voice to who you're with. All in all you might be tempted to pass by "bar food" in a strip mall. But at dinner time you will often see a waiting line for a table, this should be a clue that locals will wait. The OWNER is always here and will stop by to make sure your expectations are met. He doesn't want your experience to be "just" ok.

Many bars and restaurants nearby if you want a drink or snack before or after your show. Entry was easy as I had tickets on my phone. I purchased general admission tickets. They do have reserved seats available at a higher price point. How GA works is you get there and the attendants tell you to sit anywhere that isn't reserved. The earlier you get there, the better seat selection you'll have. We sat at the stage for one of my favorite bands. You have a little table and chairs (either two or four). It was so intimate and cozy. I loved it. The temperature was perfect. Not freezing from AC, but not muggy. Very comfortable. Sound was excellent and electrical worked perfectly for this show. They do have drinks for sale, but I didn't have anything. Other reviews mention paying low membership dues and then you can buy alcoholic drinks. They have water and cups available too. Really great experience and can't wait to go back!

Yes, it is a Bar and Grill but they also have a sizable outdoor patio area, a large area with pool…read moretables, darts and arcade games. There is also an entire section dedicated to live performances. I visited for the Pop Evil concert and was floored by all of the talent they had lined up before the main event. The drinks are good and the service we received from Kelly (loved her Mohawk) was spot on. They seem to maintain a great line up of live music from the area as well as bands from out state and country. The performance venue is standing room only with a few exceptions near the bar. It feels intimate but it is big enough that you do not feel crowded. The reason I am giving them 4 and not 5 stars is for making us wait in 0 degree weather with a hella cold wind cutting at us as they had to process everyone in. It was very inconsiderate to keep people standing in the elements while one or two guys checked Id's and tickets. Maybe this seems like no big deal but seriously it was f*&^$ing cold out people! My buck 25 ass is not use to it and I dare say even the locals had a difficult time handling the wait and check in process. The place also looked a tad tired and dare I say dingy. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable eating here. That being said I did NOT see their kitchen so this can be an over reach on my part but generally speaking if things are not well maintained up front they are not well maintained in the back. The bartenders and concert line up is the reason I believe most people come here and is why I will be back next time I am in the area. Until then, Rock on with your bad self!

However, if with the clique style douche metal they play there, the biggest threat is the head of security [Hispanic, late 40's, heavy set, short black hair] that is always impersonating a cop. My friend was allowed to leave with two highly intoxicated people while the supposed impersonator cop that was head of security told me to shove off or he'd have me arrested. Right after I asked to see this guy's bad, asked for his name and badge number he only said 242 [Gee, give the name of a band right don't you]. The head of security left in a late model orange colored pickup truck. moments later after he left, actual police arrived claiming that I had a gun in the night club. The entire building was closed at the time when the actual police arrived. The one of the DJ's happened to be standing outside next to when the police arrived and vouched for me. What a total joke of an encounter. Do not go here. You couldn't pay me money to even perform at this place as DJ or music project. Oh, and after talking with both Toledo police and the police in my own neighborhood, it turned out the head of security mentioned in this review is not a cop. This head of security should be careful of the person who is sober and is not afraid of some wanna-be.

However, the last time I went we were cold shouldered by the bartenders. It was a week day night about 7 people on one side of the bar other than ourselves and 2 bartenders... I am a bartender myself so I know how it feels to be behind the bar. My dad had come down to hangout with me and my boyfriend and we sat there for 23 minutes with no service. When my dad finally called out to the male bartender who was serving somebody who had walked in quite a while after us the bartender rolled his eyes and still didn't come to check on us in the 5 minutes we waited before just leaving. Not a great experience and also not sure why we were treated that way as we didn't cause any issues that night prior to being shunned. But now after reading some other reviews I realize we are not the only people that have experienced service like this...

Bells rep supposed to be in house, live band. Almost fell asleep on the band and I didn't see a rep there from 5 to 7:30 when I was there. I was one of the few that purchased the Hopslam in the glass for $15. Again overpriced. Got some $9 pretzel bites which if you look at the Heights spot about half a mile from there are $4.50 n look exactly the same. Check the pics Staff was marginally friendly both visits. No happy hour on anything and I asked for specials. I took myself on over to the Distillery. Same specialty beer (hop slam) in a 16 oz glass $5.50. Darn near half the price.
