South Water Street runs along the east side of the river, a short walk from the middle of downtown Kent, so the pub is close enough to walk to from most of the center and easy to aim a car at from the edges. The Google directions link on this site opens the map straight to the front door rather than to a general area.

The building is low and sits right on the street, with a patio out front on the Water Street side that is open when the Ohio weather agrees. Inside, the bar takes the long wall with screens above it, and the wordmark is painted on the wall — useful landmarks when you are telling somebody where you are sitting.

Coming in from out of town, Kent is small enough that South Water Street is a complete instruction once you are in the center. The river is the landmark. The pub is on the near side of it as you come down from downtown, and the painted wordmark on the wall confirms you are in the right building.

The patio is the part of the address that changes with the season. Between the last frost and the first one it is the best table in the building; the rest of the year the room does the work.

When to come

Weekdays: 11am to 2:30am. Weekends: 9am to 2:30am, with brunch from nine. That is seven days a week with the same late close, which makes this an unusually easy place to plan around — there is no night of the week when it shuts early on you.

Different hours suit different visits. Lunch and early afternoon are calm and quick. Evenings build. Weekend mornings are the bright, quiet version of the room. And late is genuinely late, well past the point where most of downtown Kent has called it.

Holidays are the exception to the printed hours. There are no holiday overrides recorded for this address, so a quick call on Thanksgiving or New Year's Day is the safe move.

How to order

Walk in and order at the bar or at a table. For pickup, the Toast storefront linked from this site handles it online, so you can collect rather than wait.

Phone (330) 548-9183 for anything that needs arranging — a large group, a specific pickup time, or a question about today.

If you are collecting rather than staying, it is the same door and the same hours — no separate entrance and no earlier cut-off for pickup.
