Oh Ohio!
First timer. Just a few cars in a large lot, no attendant. Drove through a sketchy part of Akron to get here. This area is decent. No cover before 5. I thought I was the…

Friendly but slow on a Friday Afternoon
Around 1 on a Friday afternoon and it was very slow. Only a couple other guys at the bar. But the bartender and two dancers were friendly and the domestic longnecks were 2…

Cover $10
Simple ID Check
Club is big and spacious. Bar is…

Uneventful Side Quest
Overview: Today's side quest on the Sunday, mid-afternoon, before Christmas was extremely uneventful. I wanted to jokingly put "The Hippo: Dive Bar Edition" as the title lol.
Layout: No change to previous reviews.
Dancers: 0... :(…

Afternoon stop after a long time absance
Parking/Valet:
The parking lot is rather large. No valet parking and there are currently a couple of places around the lot that have some rather large potholes so be careful if you visit…

The only Akron club worth visiting these days
A good visit on a Friday evening. Peppermint Hippo seems to be the only club in the Greater Akron area worth visiting these days. The club is large, clean, professionally run and for…

A Dayshift Visit That Was Worth While
Overview: Your experience and YMMV. But today, I would say the odds were in my favor. A low-key visit that was enjoyable.
I arrived a little after 3 PM and saw a handful of cars parked…

Two very different experiences
Been here twice with two different groups of friends. Both trips were early evening, around 9-10PM'ish. Took advantage of the free transportation provided by the club which was clean, efficient and reliable. Also was able…

Doesn’t fit in the area
This is a very unique place for the area, and I’m not sure that is meant in a good way. It is definitely an upscale environment. The general area of Akron Ohio is…

Saturday night, treated right.
Had a very pleasant visit in a Saturday night. There were a ton of girls working and an average amount of customers.
There was a pat down and $20 cover when I went in but…

Lunch special at the Hippo. Cheaper than McDonalds with a better view.
Went there first at lunch, then again at night on a Monday. This review combines both visits.
Large for an Akron club, but only a few customers on a Monday. The stage is small,…

A low key return
Overall: A successful trip. Would go back for a retry at day-shift.
Overview: Had some time to kill after work meetings so I figure I would stop by and see how the rebrand to Hippo was…

Can’t Justify It for Akron Area
So this place was purchased - and is now called Peppermint Hippo. (Sounds strangely similar to Spearmint Rhino). Anyways - the layout is you walk in to a foyer where you pay your…

Unique set-up with oustanding talent.
My tour of Akron SCs continues. Have never visited Hush before and was impressed with both its size and class. Sat at the bar and got a $3.50 Modelo since it was Happy…
