The restaurant, located at 4073 Medina Road, closed in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the property was slated for redevelopment. However, the developers reached out to Hyde Park, and the company decided to move forward with the renovations, which include doubling the size of the bar, adding a full banquet room, and incorporating live music.

The $1.8 million investment in the renovation also demonstrates the company's commitment to the Akron market and its belief in the area's potential for growth.
The details
