The day before Thanksgiving is the biggest bar night of the year, but this year there’s one thing that is sure to set the UpTown district apart from the rest—on Wednesday, November 27th The Attic on Adams will celebrate five years of serving an eclectic and ever-growing crowd of young bar-goers. An integral part of the revitalization of the Adams Street corridor that took place over the past half-decade, The Attic continues to exude many signs of continuing growth.
The story of The Attic goes back to the early 90’s, when Mano’s Greek Restaurant built an upstairs bar to accommodate lunch and dinner patrons. It first came on the nightlife scene in the 90’s as Mano’s Back Porch, and then in the 2000’s as Pub St. George.
On November 27th, 2008 The Attic was born. “Our mission is to be a gathering place for all minds. Our goal was to provide a place where people could meet and converse and enjoy spirits they could not get anywhere else,” says bar manager Amelia Jarret. Mission accomplished; The Attic has one of the biggest selections of craft beers in the Toledo area, including selections from Maumee Bay Brewing Company, Stone, Dogfish Head and other micro-breweries. The three main rooms of the bar create a comfortable atmosphere that plays host to one of the biggest and most diverse crowds in the city. The music is never too loud and the couches are comfortable.
Inventive cuisine
All food served is made from scratch in-house. The mac and cheese is made by Amelia herself and is a favorite of many of the regulars. Having Mano’s Restaurant just below the bar allows The Attic to provide more than just typical bar items, with hummus plates and falafel wraps available. Unlike most bars, several healthy alternatives exist, and a number of items are vegetarian or have a vegan option available—the vegan chill mac in particular feels indulgent but healthier than the meat-borne variety. The Attic staff’s dedication to supporting locally-sourced foods wherever possible is one more reason why many locals support The Attic in return.
The festivities for the five year anniversary of The Attic will include showing holiday favorites on the patio big screen, along with savory seasonal offerings and canned beer specials. The bar will also feature cocktails from their liquor infusion program—The Attic was the first in Toledo to have such a program, and some of their concoctions, like the pepper-infused vodka, have become fan-favorite selections.
Open daily from 2pm-2:30am. 1701 Adams St.
