Old 97

Awesome Martinis and great service! Coming back in the summer to check out the outside bar. This is a hidden gem! Especially on Kenmore Blvd. of all places. Ive been there several times now , and each time Ive had a better experience than the previous one. Fantastic drinks, fun activities (ping pong, darts, bocce ball) live music on two of the nights Ive been there, amazing patio. The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgable about what theyre doing. The décor is fantastic as well. I cant even think of a bad thing to say about this place. if you happen to live in 20 minutes of this place, I highly recommend to come out and check it out. Its close to highway access too! Well be appearing at our favorite nightclub in Akron this evening, the Old 97 Cafe. Lets face it, though- Akron has a lot of really nice places for live music…but the hippest, and quite possibly the best joint in town is Old 97 Cafe at the far west end of Kenmore Blvd. Yep, Kenmore…one of the older communities in Akron…is home to a nightclub that evokes an elegant, 1930s speakeasy sensibility and features live music…it doesnt get any cooler than that…well, yes it does, because the drinks and wine selection are out of this world. If youre familiar with the legendary Blonde Martini & Wine Bar in Cleveland, The Violet Hour or the The Green Mill in Chicago, then you should feel right at home at Old 97 Cafe.
