Racist Place in Kent!!! I am an international doctoral student at Kent State University. I have been to this place multiple times with my friends. For my last two visits here, they came to our table to bring checks (while we were still drinking) 30 minutes after we sat. Also, we did not ask check. It happened while hanging out with my other international friends. However, whenever I came here with my White American friends, nobody came to us to bring checks before we asked to. There is a waitress (Name is Emma) who performs systematic oppression towards international people there. Also, she was talking to some people about us, and she pointed to my table. When she point of my table with fingers, her friends looked at my table. Right after that, she brought checks without us asking. It happened twice with my international friends, but never with my White American friends. I will never go again, and I do not suggest going for any non-White people. Sadly, racism is still a huge problem here.
EDIT AFTER THE COMPANY REPLIED: It appears that you have no idea what systematic oppression means in your hand. I want to explain and educate you on something other than that topic. Instead, I encourage you to do a Google search or talk to some people and get out of your bubble. 1. You are not a judge, as far as I know. You are a company serving the people. So, I suggest you not talk from a judgment or court voice. As you did not see what happened, you (as a court judge) cannot claim such a thing. 2. You said, "my doctoral program," thought about how to read minds. It looks like you have a better education in this better than I have. I only explained my experiences, but you made a lot of assumptions about what happened. If you want to hear what happened, ask, before playing passive defense. 3. I made an explicit comparison of different behaviors at different times. I do not experience the same behavior with my White American friends, but I am encountered that while hanging out with my international friends (These two scenarios happened more than one time each). In that case, I am eligible to conclude that IT IS NOT OKAY AND FAIR. 4. You talked about some scenarios, "pay to go" and "changing shifts". Yes, there might be some people wanting to do that. NO ONE asked me this, NO ONE talked to me about this, I HAVE never explained that I want "pay and go". Basically, the waitress brought checks without asking, "Do you want to get checks". 5. Regarding your JUDGMENT about "dangerous, unfounded, unsubstantiated, damaging and hateful accusations", actually, the behaviors I saw were dangerous, unfounded, unsubstantiated, damaging, and hateful. So, I also recommend you consider what happened before blaming...

Read moreAn amazing place that has a selection of alcohol that is local and from parts of the world.
They are always changing what is on tap so you get something new every few weeks it seems like. The staff have always been courteous and relaxed, serving guests and making sure the table has been cleaned off especially when it's a busy night with a popular food truck outside.
On another note, there is no food here, but you are certainly welcomed to bring in food from other places and dine in with a drink in hand from the bar.
It is "dangerously" close to Lucci's, Penn Station, Chipotle, etc - so it is VERY easy to find food with your drink if you don't like the food truck they have situated outside during any of their events.
All in all, one of my favorite places in Kent and I keep going back - please do keep up the great work and...
