The Barley House - Akron

This is a HUGE restaurant within walking distance of the Lock 3 and the Akron Civic Theater in Akron. It is a GREAT place to eat before a show or concert. They have a good menu and very reasonable prices. They had a special on Friday of Fish and Chips for only $12 and a Long Island Ice tea for only $4. You can't beat that! The food and drinks were very good and the portion for food was HUGE. The server was friendly, polite and thorough, but the service was a little but slow. They were crowded. We were delighted and we will return.

The Thursday mixed drink menu was worth looking at, and I tried 4 of the list. 2 were repeats. My food was perfect. The choices I had available for food completely exceed my wishes at that moment.

Came out for a lite lunch. Service was quick and we had the place to ourselves for the most part. They have a patio that we sat at. Games and plenty of TV screens are all around the interior. The bar it pretty big and has lots of seats. They also have a stage to host djs or bands I assume.

Slow service...not enough bartenders. Wait staff does service the pool table area. Food is overpriced mediocre bar food.

Actually 4.5 stars ... Service with a smile, food was good and not a long wait. First time there and I'd go back, also recommend it to a friend.
