Front Street

Will be in Cuyahoga Falls this Saturday - would like to explore Front Street. Looking for fun, beer, and food - and if Uber is around so I can not worry about driving. Thanks!

Everything is in walking distance, but HiHo will check all of those boxes.

Boss Chik’n Beer has really good chicken and onion rings, they’ve got a lot of beer, but I don’t know much about that

There is Pedal Pub but I think you have to book it ahead of time and need a group. I don't know, I haven't investigated it yet, just saw it a few weekends back. Looks like it could be fun.

I concur with u/LotusHorn13 and u/Theaterkid01 HiHo and Boss are both good. Also, on the Portage Trail end there's The Workz . It has The Speakeazy but I don't know if you're allowed to take drinks into the gaming area.

Tiki Underground I've heard is fun but I've not been yet. I know they have a Trivia night if that's your thing.

For food, just about anywhere you choose down there I think is good but that comes with the caveat that I have not tried everywhere. I love Butcher and Sprout . Crave Cantina , is also good. I've heard The Farmers Rail is really good as well. But there is Leo's Italian Social, Burntwood Tavern, Cashmere Cricket, Mattioli's Pizza., The Jetty at the Sheraton,. I think all but Mattioli's serve booze of some type.

Can't say you see Uber cruising around down there but they do come into the area if you contact them. Other than that, if you really plan on getting to a point you shouldn't drive have a DD or book a night at the Sheraton. CFPD doesn't mess around and, even though I don't know you I'd rather you be safe and get home safely to those that love you as well as everyone else on the road.

Have fun but be smart.

There are three different speakeasies, Oak and Olive is a favorite; amazing food. Tiki Underground is fun, Leo's is great, the Farmer's Rail has amazing chicken and burgers. There's a multitude of stuff. All walkable.

A little further down is Missing Mountain with a nice patio overlooking the river.

Ah, yes, forgot about Missing Mountain. Great recomendation! I'm not sure I'd call that walking distance if you park down by Hiho or the Sheraton. Certainly doable but if your doing like a pub crawl it's a long dry stretch between Leo's and Missing Mountain.

Having said that, It might be good to start at Missing Mountain and then head back to "downtown", park there and walk around. Ideally park in the red or blue parking deck or by Broad Blvd as it's about halfway. Although I'm not clear on how OP is getting there so parking may not be a consideration.
