Negroni
This Negroni is BETTER, if not THE BEST, Negroni I have ever had! Even better than Italy's finest!

Always a great time and amazing drinks!!! 💯
The Ginger Murphy
This was absolutely delicious. If you don't love ginger though, I'd shy away because the flavor is ABUNDANT. It definitely was a unique drink that I can firmly say I've never seen anywhere else.

Such a refreshing drink to enjoy with your friends.
Old Fashioned
I live in Orlando, FL and visited Akron where I grew up. Found Northside Speakeasy online. I go to many bars here in Florida and California. This is one of my favorite cocktail bars of all of them. The ambiance was upscale and the bartenders were very hospitable and shared a lot of insight and tips about making cocktails. Easy to park and located in nice Courtyard hotel.

I'm a Hennessy Drinker and this drink here is amazing. Not only is it two cocktails in one but you're definitely feeling its effects immediately. This place has great service and awesome bartenders. If you're looking for an intimate bar setting this is definitely the place for you.
"Joe" Juice
Loved the Joe Juice and other cocktails at the speakeasy. As great as the drinks are, the staff and atmosphere are better!
Mixology 101
Went for a getaway in Akron OH. Found this amazing and cozy bar. They have this incredibles drinks I had 3 Nuts and Butts my boyfriend had The 89. The bartenders were so friendly and knowledgeable.
Old Fashioned
Great atmosphere. Amazing bartenders. Wonderful cocktails! I recommend the Northside Speakeasy every time someone mentions to me they are going out to grab a drink.
Old Fashioned
I am a huge whiskey lover and this drink did not disappoint! I will be visiting again to have a few more.
Sazerac
Delicious classic drink that isn't offered by many cocktail bars in the area, you have the option of getting it with Cognac or Rye and both are tasty options. One of my favorite drinks and they do it justice here!
Sidecar
This is one of the most fun & relaxed places I've been to in a long time. The mixologists are thorough and extremely entertaining! I can't wait to go back simply for the atmosphere.
Aviation
I was pleasantly surprised by this cocktail. It has a balanced blend of flavors and goes down (a little too) easy!
Giggle Water
My family and I came here for my sister's 21st Birthday and we had an absolute blast! The drinks we had were all amazing, the atmosphere was great, and our bartender was wonderful! We talk about our experience all the time with nothing but positivity and we can't wait to go back!
Penicillin
Perfect balance of booze, acid, and sweet. The bartenders are great and friendly!
Painkilla
I highly recommend the Northsode Speakeasy. Not only were we able to social distance but we had an amzing beverage that made you forget, if only for a few minutes, these strange times we're living in. The Painkilla was delicious and refreshing, I've been fraving another since we left. And the private mini booths with the ambience of the good ol days made for a perfect mini date night. 5 out of 5 stars!
Negroni
Amazing spot harkening back to the roaring 20s with group and bar seating. The best drinks in town and the ambiance can't be beat!
Whiskey Sour
Best whiskey sour in ohio by far!!!! Bartenders are great here and very attentive. Best place in Akron to go get a drink. My favorite spot. The vibe is like your in another city. Great place to be. highly recommend going!
Aviation
Light, complex cocktail featuring purple Creme de Violet, an imported liqueur made from macerated violets. Aromatic and citrus smelling; visually azure, harkening to the dawn of aviation and the wonder of the great blue sky.
Northside Manhattan
I tried the almond Manhattan and OH MY was it good. My boyfriend and I found this place and can't get enough of it. Good happy hour prices also!
The Ginger Murphy
Since I am not an Irish whiskey fan, I sub Bulleit Rye and it's delicious. The combination of the shrub and the bitters makes for a wonderfully smooth, layered drink. I'm not even really a cocktail drinker as a rule, but this is super.
Old Fashioned
Perfect Old Fashioned! Can't wait to try it again.
Pear Car
Every time I go to the Northside Speakeasy, I always get the Pear Car cocktail to start the night. The bartender slices the fruit into your martini glass and it gives it such a fresh twist. I recommend this beverage to anybody who likes a sweet but also tart and fruity drink. It's delicious! Not to mention the staff and ambiance of the environment is fabulous! A must see Akron spot!
"Joe" Juice
No other espresso style martini can compare! I compare all to Joe's Juice, it is the best out there.
Giggle Water
One of the best drinks! Love this place!! Cozy and great mixologists.
"Joe" Juice
My best friend and i went there. I loved everything about about it. The bartenders were great and the drinks were delicious. I highly recommend this place!
Aviation
Very smooth, very nice balance of flavors. Not too acidic and not too sweet - one of the best on the menu.
"Joe" Juice
Amazing! We stayed at the Courtyard and hung out with your excellent bartenders. I don't recall the cocktail names but we tried two different bourbon cocktails that were outstanding. We had such a great time figuring out how to enter and once we were inside it was well worth it. The other folks at the bar were ready to have fun so it felt more like Cheers than stopping in at A random bar while traveling. Already planning our next trip to Akron and will definitely stay at the hotel and be back for a (few) drinks.
Mixology 101
They were very loving and helpful especially being my first time and a bit new they let me try it out so I got everything I wanted in a drink
New York Flip
