Not gonna sugarcoat it: The Glens is okay but far from spectacular. With a 3.8 out of 5 from 117 reviews, it’s got its fans but also some noticeable flaws.
Game Day Specials
The Glens does try to capitalize on NFL season. Expect drink specials that include discounted pints during games and some half-hearted attempts at wing deals. It’s the usual mix of cold beer and greasy bites, but nothing groundbreaking. If you’re looking for gourmet food, well, you’re in the wrong place. The heart of this joint is really about gathering with pals and shouting at the TV — so, in that respect, it partially delivers.
Location & Access
Located at 358 E Glenwood Ave, The Glens isn’t exactly in the middle of the action but it’s accessible enough. Parking is a bit of a gamble, especially on game days. The layout inside isn’t cramped, which is a plus when people start piling in to catch the game. If you’re not a local, this might feel a bit out of the way, but for Akron folks, it’s part of the routine.
