The Loft

Friday’s are for $3 Fireball shots and FREE peanuts at The Loft!

What else could you ask for? Oh you need a cold one too? We have a wide selection of draft beers, seltzers, and of course your favorite drop shots!

Open at 2:00pm 🍻☀️

You don’t have to wait until it’s dark to head in to The Loft, because we’re open at 2:00pm daily!

If you need an after lunch beer, or a few peanuts before you head home- we have you covered 🍺🥜

No need to go nuts, it’s only Tuesday.

But then again, if you wanna go nuts, we’re here for that too!

Serving up peanuts and cold drinks all night long 🍻

Today we released Episode 19 of Kent In Good Company. Our host Katy Thomas shared, "I sat down with Mike Beder, co-owner of Lake House Kitchen + Bar. Mike is also an owner and partial owner of several different downtown businesses including Water Street Tavern, Kent Sportswear, Cleveland Bagel Kent, The Loft & Venice Cafe. He told me his entrepreneurial story from being a self proclaimed not-so-great KSU student to being a successful business owner in Kent, which was really inspiring for me! I know it will be for you too." Listen in at https://mainstreetkent.org/discover/in-good-company/

If you had to choose, what is your favorite bar in Kent, and why is it The Loft?

Maybe it’s because we let you carve your name in our walls, or maybe it’s because we have free peanuts, or maybe it’s because you can start drinking at 2pm.

Or it could be something else entirely, but we wanna know why YOU keep coming back after all these years!
