Old 97 Cafe

Best outdoor venue in Akron! I had my daughter's baby shower here and we were so happy from the ease of working with Debbie the owner, planning the menu and the effort they made to make this a special day for everyone who attended! The food was exceptional, the staff was attentive and made sure everything was just perfect! Plan your special event at Old 97 Cafe!!!

We were there most recently for a wedding. Under all circumstances this place is awesome! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The staff are knowledgeable, fun, and attentive. They have a solid drink selection and reasonable prices. While I have only had a small sample of their food, it too was good. Overall, a really cool place to go when in Akron.

Our daughter and son in law had their wedding here (outside) this past year. The owners were fantastic and bent over backward to see to it that all was in order (and dealing with rain to boot) . They did a fantastic job. The food was excellent and we heard not a single complaint from the many guests who thoroughly enjoyed Old 97 Cafe!

I held a family members surprise 50th birthday party here. It was PERFECT! The surprise went over really well, the Old 97 was extremely helpful and responsive during my planning process, the food and drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere and decor of the back patio area was outstanding. Very classy fun place to come with friends and family. They also had fantastic live music. They even did a signature drink for our guests which really helped personalize the event. All of the guests at my event enjoyed themselves and were very impressed with the decor, setting, food, and employees. I love this place so much and can't wait to come back.
