Spend an evening enjoying entertainment while you dine on some of the finest food in Akron at the Tangier Restaurant and Cabaret. Watch a play or listen to a concert series at this intimate, Moroccan-design restaurant and nightlife venue. For three generations, the Tangier has brought jazz, comedy, rock and R&B to the cabaret stage of their 11-room facility.
The Matinee was started in Akron’s Highland Square historic area in the fall of 2006. It was opened by Mario Nemr (and pals), the long time resident DJ at Akron’s infamous alternative nightclub, Thursday's Lounge. The Matinee became an instant hit within the local Akron music scene. Local and national bands are attracted to its warm atmosphere, small stage, and a great sound system. In addition, an excellent beer and wine list made it a welcoming spot for just about any person who enjoys the nightlife.
You don’t have to wait until Thursday to visit the popular Thursday’s Lounge. Join in the festivities all week–and weekend–long! Known as Akron’s dance institution, this nightlife venue is one of the best places to party in the city. Get your groove on as you sip on a wide variety of beers and cocktails from the full bar.
