The soda maker was very informative and I really wanted to try one of everything. I got something to go which was tasty and a few selections to try at home.

Solid 5 stars for this one!!

The cocktail we ordered was not only super fun but also absolutely delicious. The bartender was so kind, fun, and really added to the experience. This spot is perfect for a date or a night out with friends. Bonus: I found out there's going to be a DJ every Saturday night for the foreseeable future. If you're looking for a cool, unique place to hang out, Baxter's is definitely worth checking out! There's some pretty cool stuff goin on in Akron

Yelp led me to this establishment and I'm glad it did! My meal was perfect. I started off with a bowl of the Lobster Bisque. It was served with nice bread and butter. The Bisque was very good! It was just right in my opinion and was a large serving. For my main I decided on the Guinness Beer Battered Icelandic Cod that others here recommend and it did not disappoint! Rarely in the USA does the fish and chips remind me of what I had in Dublin but this did. The fish itself was flaky and the batter was fried to perfection. It really was some of the better fried fish I have ever had. The chips were big English style and were a perfect accompaniment to the fish. It also came with a large serving of very nice coleslaw. I will definitely be back through the race season to try more items.

The fire places were going and looked really neat at the location. Inside it's very nice, and staff were very friendly.

She ordered the chicken Alfredo which she really liked. I tried the ribeye with onions and mushroom's, Yukon mashed potatoes and veggies. The steak was good but not great. The mashed potatoes were really tasty. The veggies were way over seasoned. Everything was filling and I'd like to come back and try some other items. Although it can get pretty pricey at this restaurant.

They have an extensive menu a very interesting and fun drinks that I haven't seen elsewhere. Many of the drinks reminded me of something that I may find at a tiki bar. Although we did not try any of these drinks this time, I would definitely come back to explore the menu further if I was looking to have drinks with a friend. The real reason we came here was because my friend had heard that a woman comes on Monday nights and serves homemade Thai dumplings. This was in fact, true, and we split two orders of dumplings. We tried the traditional dumplings with meat, and the vegetarian dumplings. We received.Five dumplings per order, that were served quickly. The price was fairly reasonable. We both agreed that these dumplings were very good,. My friend enjoyed The traditional dumplings the best, whereas I loved the vegetarian ones even though I typically don't enjoy vegetarian options. The servers checked on us frequently and left us with a small picture of water so that we did not need to keep asking for refills. The interior of this bar has a great ambience that I would recommend for a meet up with a friend or a date. They do not serve many food options, in the night we were here the only food that they had was the dumplings. I would be more inclined to come back if they offered other snacks or appetizers. I would however definitely try this place again.

I think cocktail bars like this are better enjoyed with quieter tones and less cackling. The service is very friendly. Not fast, but that's understandable since it was busy on a Saturday night. Old fashioned was very well-made and decently strong. Parking is ridiculous and we had to circle a bit before finding the entrance. I do love the secret newsstand entrance.
