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.

The Getaway Pub Musicians Open Jam Night

SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL WHO VOTED THE GETAWAY PUB AS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE MUSIC SPOTS IN THE AREA.
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.

How To Get To The Getaway Pub
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 & The Poor Boys Wednesday Night Musicians' Open 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.

- I love lenses related to travel, and you make me want to travel to Akron (a thought that may never have crossed my mind were it not for your introduction to the Getaway.) I love to throw darts in a pub....but the photo I saw was of an electronic 'soft tip' board.....my least favorite.

Remembering Chef Tray

Remembering Chef Tray
Monday evening, January 9, 2012, friends of The Getaway Pub received the call no one ever wants to get. Chef Tray passed away suddenly, and unexpectedly. Our deepest sympathy for family and all who were touched by this remarkable person.
Here is the link to Chef Tray's tribute page, where you will hear him singing with Charlie & The Poor Boys. Chef Tray will always be loved, and with us at home, heart, and in spirit.
