Crust & Cocktails at 1256 Weathervane Lane in Akron’s Merriman Valley has screens above the bar. For a specific game, call 234-272-3090 first and name it. Sunday hours are 11am–9pm. The room seats 55 and reservations are limited.
Crust & Cocktails is a 55-seat pizza and cocktail room, and the screens hang above its bar. It suits a game watched over a pizza and a drink with a few friends. Because the room is small, the reliable plan is to call, name the game, and arrive early for a stool.
The bar runs along one wall with a row of stools, and the screens are mounted above it, so a bar stool puts you closest to the game.
What is on the screens depends on the day. When you call, tell the bar which game you want and whether sound matters to you; this page makes no promise about a particular game or about sound.
Game food here means pizza. The Classic Pepperoni with hot honey is $17, and the 6-inch personal pan at $10 suits one person watching alone. Classic Meatballs at $9 and Rustic Bread & Spread at $10 go down the table while the pizza is made.
Bottled beer suits a long game: Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Lite at $4, Modelo and Corona at $5, and Columbus Bodhi Double IPA or the Great Lakes seasonal at $6. Wine by the glass and craft cocktails are there too, and there is an alcohol-free Elvis Juice for the driver.
During the NFL season, football is on the screens at Crust every Sunday. Sunday hours are 11am–9pm, which covers the afternoon games.
Crust also hosts NFL Sunday watch parties on dated days, with pizza and drink specials during the party.
Order at the bar or your table from the printed menu. For a group coming for a game, the private events page explains how a table fits into a 55-seat room.
