Meet Me At The Getaway Pub

Akron, Ohio -- If you are looking for a quaint little watering hole that serves burgers, fries, and a tall cold one, stop by The Getaway Pub. You can find this little gem in the heart of Merriman Valley.

If you are into sports, some of the bar's TV sets are set to sports stations. If you are into controversy, you can watch the news on the other side of the bar. Do you like to throw darts or play pool? There is a dart board and pool tables to hone your skills. But the biggest draw at The Getaway Pub is the music. Live bands weekly, with a Musicians Open Jam every Wednesday Night.

Musicians Night Out 


This is a small taste of what Wednesday nights are like at The Getaway Pub. Musicians and vocalists are invited to come down to the pub, and play with Charlie's Poor Mans Band.

Getaway Pub Calender - Beta Feed 

This is my MSN Live Feed from The Getaway Pub Calender -- This is currently in beta format, but I thought fans and friends of The Getaway Pub may find this interesting. Now, the beta part is that the RSS feed to the calender picks up the most recent updates instead of the actual calender dates. As soon as an 'iCal' module is developed, the update will show up here. If you would like a view of the actual calender, try this link and get back to me in the guest book. If you are looking for something to do over the weekend, bands are scheduled through December.

Get Your Grub At The Getaway Pub 


Who would know that a little place like this would have some of the best little burgers in town. No cereal or fillers in this burger. The chef knows the local butcher, and goes farm direct whenever possible. There's a board by the kitchen door with the special of the day. Always affordable, and always home made.

The plate above was mine, The Dinky Burgers are fine.
The fries are seasoned, and that's a good reason,
The Getaway Pub's where to dine.

Musicians Play At The Getaway 

Wednesday Night is the Muscians' Jam Night with Charlie's Poor Man Band. This is the time when local musicians can bring their instrument and sing, play, make music, and have a good time. No. This is not karaoke. This is live music. Below are some of the musicians and a bit about the pub.

The Getaway Pub Musicians' Open Jam 

Craigs List Getaway Notes

It began when four musicians decided to get together on Wednesday nights for a free open jam session with other musicians. Within five weeks more than twenty musicians were in the house, each taking turns on vocals and instruments. Learning new songs, playing old songs, working with new songs, and rocking down the house. The Getaway Pub lights up. Charlie's Poor Man Band and the Wednesday Night Jam is all about good music and good times. How many musicians will show up next week? Who will sing? Who will play? Will your favorite be there? Will they be playing your favorite song? In case you missed it, below are a few Craig's List Notes From The Poor Boy himself.
