Stowaway is a great little townie secret. It is not large, and the interior is exactly what you would expect in a small town bar, but the overall atmosphere, service, and food is what keeps people coming back. To start, they serve food LATE, which many bars don't do in the area. And the food is always fresh and consistent! Their stowaway fries consist of either fresh cut or steak fries covered in garlic butter and Parmesan and served on a decent sized pan. They are addictive! Obviously not the healthiest option, but they will keep you coming back for more! Their burgers use good quality ground beef and are large enough to satisfy even the most voracious of appetites. The bartenders are all very nice and love good conversation. Drinks are all reasonably priced, and the pours are fair. Overall it is a great little spot with a very homey feel. Would recommend. read more

Nice server but food is NOT good ! Burger was very poor quality and the bun was clearly stale. The bottom was toasted but top was cold and wet, like it had been defrosted. read more

Ordered take out last night. They said 30-40 minutes. So we went up about 25 minutes after the call. Brought food home it was horrible. The burgers were spongy. Not fresh beef at all, the fries were all overcooked and gross. We have eaten here many times. Hopefully this was just a fluke. Otherwise they should just stick to serving beers read more

Great local low key dive bar. Friendly locals, great quick service, decent food. Clean and comfy

This pub is a great local find! Not to big and not to small. My son and I went for the 1st time on St. Patrick's day. The staff was friendly, the menu was just good, the food was great! It looked to be busy with local residents. If you're looking for somewhere to eat with good food, quaint pub atmosphere , friendly staff, and a menu that won't break the bank... well, then I highly recommend you come to Stowaway Pub in Stow, Ohio. I know we sure will be back! Thank you to all the staff that day for being great and doing great!! We appreciated you all that day! read more

In a world of chain restaurants and bars, this absolute gem stands strong as an independent venue! They have great people - owners, bartenders and cooks truly care about each customer. Every day this fun place offers both drink and food specials. For individuals and smaller groups, the bar is perfect. If your group is mid-sized, pull a couple of high tops together. For those with larger groups, tables and booths work well. It's a pretty fun sports watching location too, with 6 newer TVs, Keno, darts and TouchTunes rounding out the fun. Lastly, you might try their great Saturday/Sunday breakfast - enjoy and we'll likely see you there now and then. A&J read more

Definitely a nice quiet dark dive bar. Table was a little sticky. Waitress was sincerely kind and friendly. They were out of wings the night we came, on a Wednesday. Had a burger instead. The hamburger bun was grilled nicely and everything tasted really good. Good music and friendly patrons. You get the feeling that the bar is a little understaffed. Like everything else these days. But it's not having items on the menu is not acceptable to me. Especially wings. I know they're hard to get and they're expensive. But you are charging more than $15 for a dozen. You should have them. I'm giving four stars because the Lady bartender was very kind and the food was pretty good. Husbands "specialty" fries were a bit on the greasy side. read more

Great little bar in Stow. Very welcoming staff who will go the extra mile to take care of you. Try the wing special on Sunday and the great fresh cut fries. This is one of the few places around that isn't charging $14-$15 for a dozen wings and their sauces are good. Giant mugs of their craft or domestic beer selection really hit the spot when it's blistering hot outside. read more

Our family went here for the fish fry. Food was fantastic. Service was a tad slow though. Only 2 employees serving and managing the bar. Was frustrating trying to get our server attention to get more drinks etc. read more

I think I'm at about a 3.5. They redid the place, not quite as dive bar anymore, but still a little bit. Definitely townie type patrons. The biggest problem I have is it seems like they're always understaffed. The servers have always done fine, but just in over their heads. $1.50 Wed night sliders are high quality meat, with a perfect toasted bun. It's a really good deal. The burgers are also really good. They use meat from Kirbie's. My first visit for the fish fry on Friday was some of the best fish I've ever had. Super flaky white mild cod with tasty light breading. But I went back a couple weeks later and the fish was completely different. It was heavily breaded. I took my parent specifically because I know they don't like a lot of breading and it was like I was at a different restaurant. Kind of a weird inconsistency. It's $9.99 for 3 huge pieces or $12.99 for all you can eat. Comes with fries and coleslaw. The $1 tacos weren't quite as good as their slider special, but still not a bad deal. Just basic tacos like you'd make at home. read more

There was only one waitress. She also had to cook all the food. Once our order did come out it was burnt.

Cute family owned business with great food and great service! Love Diane and Bill. Would definitely recommend.

I happened to stumble across this hidden gem. Everyone was beyond nice, and made me feel welcomed as if I was a regular. The dragonfire wing are awesome and I highly recommend you try them!!! And the homemade stuff pepper soup is by far the best soup I've ever had at a local pub. read more

I have never felt more disrespected in a bar by the owner. Diane is amazing, but her her husband is one of the most condescending people I've ever met. I encourage anyone I know not to visit this establishment. read more

A hidden gem. What really stands out about The Stowaway is the actual venue. Small but not cramped, very spacious, comfortable booths, high-quality televisions viewable from anywhere. (There aren't "too many" TVs. The space-to-screen ratio is perfect). It's perfectly lit, and a very comfortable place to spend some time. I've had several items from the menu, but the grilled cheese is a must. They offer a variety of cheeses and breads, and I have never had one so good. Not even my mother has made a grilled cheese that compares. Their fries are another highlight, and the fresh cut fries are the perfect crispy-greasy-flavorful combo. The service is top-notch. Attentive, accurate, and friendly. The speed with which the food is delivered is frequently staggering, even when expecting it to be quick. I do, however, find their beer selection lacking. Great Lakes, the typical domestics, Stella, and maybe two other microbrews. The beer is very fairly priced, however, so it's a minor quibble. read more

14 people were in the bar when I arrived so I grabbed the table at the end of the bar. Waited a few minutes thinking the bartender would work the room, she did not do so! I got up and stood at the the bar and tried to get her attention. Another customer told me her name was Nicole because I was yelling so I started yelling her name and still her conversation was more important. She made me feel like it was an inconvenience to serve me a beer after she acknowledged me. This was a bar that I used to frequently visit. It's been a couple of years I quit coming in after new ownership I've only had bad service but thought I'd give it another chance. This will be my last time visiting this dive bar read more

Newly remodeled, same lack of service. Should probably stick to being a bar only. Waited over 8 minutes to get a drink - we were the only ones at a table with 5 people at the bar (all had drinks). One lady worrying about folding shirts and talking. Waitress nowhere to be found. Waited 25 minutes to place an order. Meanwhile, 1 more table came in. Ordered 10 min after us, got their burgers 10 min before we got ours. Our burgers w/ bacon were undercooked, sent 1 back. Ordered a 1/4lb instead of the 1/2lb. Took more than 15 minutes to make a new 1/4lb burger. I was the only person waiting on food. Instead of talking, would have been helpful if the tshirt folder could have given the cook some assistance and direction. read more

Keith Creager I have been in this establishment for many years as I have grown up in the Stow area. It always was a good to place for my friends and I to enjoy a night out! It is unfortunate but that is not the case anymore! It is under new ownership and the last time I was in there the food was terrible and the service and treatment was rude!!!! This is the second time it has happened!! I thought that it may have been one of those days? So I have it another chance and got the same result! I will not be visiting this place again and will not tecommend it to anyone! Go spend your hard earned money elsewhere!!! read more

I would like to say that this bar is a good place to eat. the atmosphere is great. The barmaids are on spot with taking care of customers. The food is great I love the fish sandwiches and I have tried more off there menu and no complaints on anything. This bar reminds me of the Cheers bar everyone knows everyone I like that read more

The new owners of stow away Pub have invested a lot of time and money to not make this place a bar but a destination while keeping all of the good items from the original bar Bill and Diane have certainly put their mark on this new facility. Come on down for a burger and a brew and enjoy not only great customer service but camaraderie as well. read more

Not my kind of place at all. I thought it was a restaurant, but it's just a dirty bar that serves a little food. When I got there, there were 6-8 middle-aged men slumped over the bar with the waitress behind the bar talking to them. Everyone stared at me when I walked in. No one offered to seat me. I sat at the first of 5 or 6 booths and quickly discovered it hadn't been cleaned. My hands were sticky from what I hope was just jelly or something. The food was ok, but I'll never go there again. I'm pretty surprised they're open. They must make a lot of money on alcohol. read more

Food is ok for Bar food. Lack of service because bartender is also the cook. I thought things got better after the remodel, I guess not! They also still have a problem with barflies annoying! Drinking anywhere could be a better option unless you're into that dive bar lack of service type place! read more

Just so you know, this place is a filthy bar. If you can handle that and what that entails (dirty drunks at the bar hollering, filthy and dark setting, etc.) then go ahead. The food was actually pretty good, considering. But eating in that type of place always makes my appetite dwindle. read more

The Stowaway fries are excellent. The bartender was friendly and entertaining, the cook was friendly and professional. Really enjoy the remodel the place had. A nice place for a reasonably priced meal and a cold beverage. read more

The food was absolutely disgusting. The burger tasted like boiled meat and the barely existing bun was soaked in butter from the stowaway fries (which were not fully cooked). If wasn't for the cold beer and gift certificate we used...this would have been a complete bust. read more

An alright place with an alright barmaid and really good hand cut fries with vinegar at the table. It took a little while for us to get waited on. All the booths (5 I think) were full and our table was the only table there (party of 6). So our drinks came, then our food. Someone in my party actually asked for another drink and our server said "in a minute, I have 10 other drinks to make." Maybe she shouldn't have said that, maybe they should hire more help, can't blame her for frustration if management doesn't want to hire...but coming from the service industry, I would've never said that to a customer. So, maybe I'll go back, maybe I won't, I'm still deciding because the French fries were REALLY good. read more

Came here for the first time about a week ago and was pleasantly surprised. Great burgers and wings! Definitely a hole in the wall kind of a place (in the best way possible), but the drafts are pretty inexpensive and the shot pours are heavy. Definitely making this a regular place! read more

Stowaway is a great burger pub with a great staff. Hometown feel and friendly smiles. Just had lunch with my son and the bulldog burger was fantastic. The onion rings are great too and I am very particular about my onion rings. Great non commercial place to visit. read more

An excellent pub to visit! Prices are fair, drink selection is good, and the food is phenomenal. Dollar taco night is a must attend, the burgers are great, and the wings are out of this world. Comfortable atmosphere, not too many TV screens staring at you, a nice jukebox, and a friendly attentive staff. Really nothing more you could want from a hometown pub. I recommend the stowaway to all. read more

Love the Stowaway Pub! Cheap beer (OK selection) and great good! Friendly employees as well. We come in here often and have never had a bad experience. read more
