You can't go wrong spending a night at the Nightlight. You go to see a movie, something usually a bit more indie, a classic, or arthouse, and as soon as you step through the doors you're transported to a different world or a different time. (At least I am). And yet, it feels like a timeless place. Like this is a place that has always existed and will always exist. If I'm wandering through the post-apocalyptic wasteland and don't stumble upon the Nightlight I would be woefully surprised. It's mystical, know what I mean? They've just completed their ambitious second screen project. In the process, they've completely renovated their other spaces. You can now pick up a themed cocktail (or mocktail), a Norka or a Cheerwine at their extensive and sizable bar. There's plenty of seating at the counter if you'd care to take one and chat it up as if you're at a cocktail lounge. On the left side of the bar is a nice snack collection to choose from. Pick up all kinds of candy before you make your order for drinks and popcorn at the counter. They even have some vintage options that'll bring tears to your grandparents' eyes. The popcorn is everything you'd want from a movie theater, so don't miss out. They've also added a brand new movie library behind the bar. Here, you can take a plush chair by the fireplace and discuss whatever great movie you just got out of. It's the kind of place that makes you want to puff on pipe tobacco. Their bathrooms also got an overhaul! If you're a fan of The Shining, it'll feel like you stepped into the bathroom where Jack chats with Delbert Grady. I won't spoil the library. The second screen is a great addition. Now they can play more movies and host more showings. It's a beautiful theater as well. You'll have to see it and experience it for yourself. I'm obsessed with the red carpet. The whole place, not just the theaters, is dripping with style. They've captured and mastered an aesthetic. Not only do they create this space, they also partner with all kinds of other local venues for unique showings. Like Pulp Fiction at the Civic, The Shining at CVNP's lodge, and other classics at Lock 3 in the summer. You'll also get the chance to meet directors and producers who come to town with their films. As a writer, this is a special and encouraging experience for me. The executive director of the Nightlight, Jenn Kidd, is one of the kindest people you will meet. She makes everyone feel like a valued human being, not just a patron or customer. People are important to her, that's why she's helped create and foster this welcoming community space. And it does feel like that, a community. One that is safe and inclusive. All of the staff are lovely people. I don't tire of seeing them and hearing their thoughts about the movies. You'll meet all kinds of cool strangers as well. One of the best parts about the Nightlight is their membership program. They have varying levels, but honestly the gold tier is the way to go. For $20 a month, you can go to every showing. That's right, $20 a month gets you a ticket to every showing! On Mondays you can also bring a guest for free, along with several extra tickets to use at your discretion throughout the year. You also get free popcorn with every showing. It's a great deal, honestly, if you ask me it's a steal. Jenn, if you're reading this, make physical membership cards! It would be very very cool. I would pay extra for one, I'm so serious! I'm just imaging that bad boy in my wallet and it gives me a sweet feeling. Perhaps I'm just a mawkish sap. I moved back to Akron after living out of state for about 6 years. A lot of my old friends had moved away. Before I found a new group of great people, I didn't have all that much to do besides work, take care of my grandma (Mimi), and hangout around Angel Falls with my childhood bestie. How many times can you go to the Bomb Shelter without going a little crazy? And then the Nightlight showed me its face! I had somewhere to go, that changed a lot for me. Now I go to the Nightlight with so many different friends! I always take my out-of-towners as well. Full circle for me. I still love going alone too, that won't change. I also always meet great strangers there. Thanks for being that place for me for over a year now. It is truly a gem. Thanks for providing it!

As the mother of the bride, I wanted to wait before writing this review so I could gather my…read morethoughts and speak only about what I personally experienced. I had hoped to simply remember my daughter's wedding with joy, but unfortunately there were too many things that I witnessed that deserve to be shared. I was actually the one who encouraged my daughter to choose Posh Events. As a Black-owned business, I truly believe in supporting businesses within our community whenever possible. I was proud to recommend them, which makes writing this review especially difficult. One thing that disappointed me before the wedding even began was that our rehearsal was held on Tuesday while the wedding wasn't until Friday. I understand another wedding was scheduled on Thursday, but it would have made much more sense for our rehearsal to be held closer to our wedding day so everything would have been fresh in everyone's minds. My daughter spent countless hours creating a seating chart and even sent it to Posh Events to confirm everything was correct. That seating chart was never followed, and afterward she was blamed for there being "one too many tables." From my perspective, if there was confusion between the venue and the day-of coordinator, that should never have become the bride's responsibility. One of the most upsetting moments for me was seeing my son-in-law, who is sober, served champagne after staff had been been told multiple times that he does not drink alcohol. That request should have been respected without question. As dinner began, several guests came to me asking why they couldn't get drinks. I also noticed that the water glasses on the tables were never filled, leaving guests without water during their meal. Later, we learned they had run out of beer for guests who wanted it. The wedding party's meals had already been plated for quite some time before they were finally able to eat, and by then their food was cold. While talking with guests in the designated smoking area, I personally witnessed staff carrying take-out containers of food to their vehicles while our reception was still taking place. Seeing that while our guests were still being served and enjoying the celebration was disappointing. I also watched staff begin removing plates and napkins before many guests had finished eating. As the evening continued, garbage cans were brought into the reception area and cleanup had already started while guests were still dancing and others were enjoying the beautiful desserts that had been lovingly prepared by friends of the bride. When I asked why cleanup had begun so early, I was told they needed to get ready for another wedding the following day. While I understand venues have busy schedules, our reception was still in progress, and it left many of us feeling as though our celebration was being rushed so preparations could begin for the next event. I also witnessed the confrontation between Char and the bride. Watching a disagreement escalate on what should have been one of the happiest days of my daughter's life was heartbreaking. Situations like that should be handled calmly, professionally, and away from the bride whenever possible. Because everything moved so quickly at the end of the evening, we were rushed out of the bridal suite and the venue. We weren't given the opportunity to properly pack our belongings, change out of our formal clothes, or retrieve what remained of the desserts that had been generously made by my daughter's friends. It felt as though, once the reception ended, our family's celebration no longer mattered. I was also disappointed to read the owner's public responses afterward. Rather than simply acknowledging concerns, comments were made referencing "Black folks." As someone who intentionally chose to support a Black-owned business, I found those remarks disappointing and unnecessary. Professional businesses can disagree with a customer's experience without resorting to comments that reference race. Finally, I want to address the statements suggesting our guests were intoxicated or that someone was going to "jump" members of the staff. I was present throughout the wedding and reception, and that is simply not what I witnessed. No one was so intoxicated that they were unaware of what was happening. Those statements do not reflect the event that I experienced and only distracted from the legitimate concerns our family had. I do want to recognize LaCiana. Throughout the day, she treated our family with kindness and respect. She remained professional in every interaction I had with her, and I truly appreciated the way she communicated with us during a very stressful day. I believe it's important to acknowledge the people who do their jobs well, and I sincerely thank her for the care she showed our family. This review isn't written out of anger or resentment. It's written from the heart of a mother who watched her daughter spend months planning one of the most important da

We were overcharged for our wine by a $1, but we let that go. The thing that annoyed me most was that they weren't even serving wine in the right glasses. There are red wine glasses and there are white wine glasses; You're a wine bar - serve it in the proper glass. So maybe it's just that one night when there was a crowd. Sadly, no. Went after work last week and only four other patrons. The three guys hanging out with owner all had red wine in red wine glasses, but the guy next to me got red wine in a white wine glass. So apparently they're just clueless. Or perhaps they were saving all the red wine glasses for friends of the owner. As far as wine selection, thumbs down. Maybe 20 whites, total. There are many, many restaurants with better selections, such as Papa Joe's, the Bistro in Kent, that will even serve your wine in the right wine glass -- imagine that! To be honest, I don't get the sense that they're taking their business seriously, more like, "Hey, let's open a wine bar! We don't know jack about wine or the service industry, but it couldn't possibly be THAT hard, right? We'll print up the wine lists on the home computer and put them in these 3 prong cardboard folders left over from when the kids were in middle school. Piece of cake."
