“I can’t recommend Baxter’s Speakeasy enough. It’s the best spot in Akron for a uniquely boutique vibe and the most wonderfully crafted cocktails created by mixology magicians. The vibe is just *right* and it’s exactly what you would want from a speakeasy. The private parties are a charcuterie paradise of sheer meat and cheese wizardry so I definitely recommend inquiring within for your next party.“

Fresh cut fries and fresh Broasted chicken is absolutely delicious and the portions leave you full and satisfied.This is a must if your are in the area. Its actually worth a half day drive through Ohio to visit. ?“

“It is a very enjoyable place. The people there were friendly, food and drinks were good. The bartender was spot on with her job in every aspect of it. The place is bigger than you think when you first walk in and very clean. I will be going back.“

Jeff knows how to keep a good vibe going.Ok, I shouldn't even put this out there but I have these super sexy pictures that have been unreleased to the public until now... Lol. For real though, it's a good time.“

“BEST MIXOLOGIST IN THE AREA. As someone who is pretty picky in what type of alcohol they like, I have liked everything made for me here. I’m shocked at how few people know about the place, but I guess that’s the point of a speakeasy. They also did a great job setting up an environment that accentuates the great drinks.“

“This is a great little neighborhood bar and grille. The food here is surprisingly great. Our party was of 12 people and we all ordered different dishes. Everyone was well pleased with their order. The servers at the canal boat lounge are very attentive and cordial to their guests, nice little family vibe.“

You can't beat their happy hour prices as well! I got the house cab and it was phenomenal! If I lived in the area, I would come all the time!“

“Updating this to a 5 star after our visit last night. Under new ownership you can tell everyone enjoys working there. Food & drinks were great, and the owner gave us a tour of the Speakeasy, which is open on the weekends. I highly recommend stopping by. We ate at the bar, cheers!“

“Cool little place, everyone loved the burgers they ordered, I thought my Reuben could have been more moist, I'm just used to melt in your mouth corn beef. The service was spectacular, loved the fries and drinks were very good. I will go back and try the Swiss Burger, everyone raved about it!“

“Called and ordered wings and fries for the game Sunday. Thus was our first time gettfood from there and they did not disappoint,the wings were awesome,they were big and meaty and perfectly cooked and sauced and the fries were a little crispy just like I requested. The staff were polite and friendly as well. We will definitely be going here many times in the future. Give em a shot you won't be disappointed. Well done guys????“

I don’t usually leave reviews, good or bad, and I am very critical of pretty much EVERYWHERE I eat! I recommend this place to everyone!!!! Staff is AWESOME as well!!!!“

“If there are any problems with Bartenders or an employee get ahold of Chuck Korver owner. Any concerns you have, safety and or liabilities talk to Chuck and give him a chance to handle it. Any problems with other customers call Chuck about it. He will deal with it. Read reviews where someone was using Laundromat next door. Then went to leave. But Couldnt bc blocked in. Again call Chuck so he can take care of it and the customers violating fire code. Customers that bring there drinks out the bar outside Call Chuck. He will make sure customers are compliant. Chuck doesn't put up with bologna.“

“We had a lovely dinner for our 12th anniversary. Fabulous food, drinks, desserts, and atmosphere. Chandler was a phenomenal server, very personable, friendly, good with the banter.It's the second time we've celebrated here and it never fails to make us gustatorially and emotionally happy!“

“I love this place. Great food, great friends, great prices. But they have a bartender named rosie who is absolutely rude to the point where you just feel sad for her. She's off at 5 mon-fri. If you enjoy watching a miserable person treat customers poorly and get joy out of it, rosie is your girl. Also don't bother coming here for food when she's here. She said she avoids making food hoping you get drunk and forget about the food. You're better off coming later when one of the nicer bartenders are here.“

“We were delighted to find this wonderful place while we were visiting Canton. I started with the salad special - "Green Goddess Salad" It had feta, edamame, pistachios and the dressing was reminiscent of my old favorite Green Goddess dressing. I had the special Pizza which was prosciutto and lemon ricotta. I also had a glass of the house Pinot Noire and it was delicious. My husband had the chicken fettuccini and a caesar salad. He said it was delicious. The atmosphere was lovely and the service friendly and quick. It was a little pricey, but it was a special night.“

“A frew things about this place. The Irish Exchange has been around since I moved back 40 years ago. Love it. Worth a go. Chop Stix Chinese restaurant the plaza is one of the best around. We order take out. Pass a few others on the way. My kids fav. Both have very friendly staff and fast service. Food served hot and delicious. You can eat in as well.“

“A great little neighborhood bar. The regulars welcome new comers and the owner of the bar always has a hello for you. Not a pick up bar but it’s not impossible lol. They have an electronic dart board, juke box with a great sound system, karaoke, and musicians. It’s a good place to stop for a beer or drink and of course to get drunk. Lol.“

“Food: ordered three grilled cheese options and they were all delicious and just the right portion, highly recommend the goat cheese with mushroomsService: a little slow and took some time to get food out but very friendlyAtmosphere: very friendly atmosphere, lighting is dark but that’s personal preference. Our table was a bit dirty and so were the booths. Drinking cups tastes like soap.“

“03/28/2024 I had the pleasure of celebrating my son's birthday at Brix 31, and I must say it was a perfect night! From the moment we entered, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The food at Brix 31 was absolutely excellent. Each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, resulting in a burst of flavors that left our taste buds dancing with joy. The service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and more. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, making us feel like valued guests throughout the evening. Overall, I highly recommend Brix 31 for any special occasion or simply for a memorable dining experience. It truly exceeded our expectations and left us with beautiful memories to cherish.“
