Baxters Bar

A nice bar in downtown Akron. When I was there, they had a Fat Heads takeover, roughly 10 Fat Heads taps plus you got a free glass with purchase of any Fat Heads beer! The beer list looked pretty solid. I had a Brew Kettle Chocolate Coconut Stout, and there were a few other beers I had my eyes on. They have a decent bottle list as well. I didn’t get any food, but the menu looked like standard pub fare. Overall it’s a place worth checking out if you’re downtown.

Don’t go by the low score,,, I didn’t rate the food as I didn’t have any. So I can’t judge that. I was there on a Sat night after dinner at another place. I liked the look of the place , altough it was too dark for me,,, maybe I’m getting old. They had a cool theme for the Xmas season. Thye had 12 different christmas ales out of their 20. If you drink one of each (I assume - not the same day) you get a t shirt called the 12 Ales before Xmas ,,, or something like that. The bartenders were friendly. The menu was low key bar food,. They feature spicy peanuts from a store next to them. They need to add deserts so I can have some nice swwet to go with my dark seasonal beers. Place has potential!. Prices arn’t cheap, but they do have a daily happy hour that I need to chec out (3-6).
