The Venice Cafe, located in Kent, Ohio, has been a beloved establishment since 1941, offering an authentic ambiance, delicious food, and great drinks to generations of residents, students, and visitors. With its noir-ish mahogany atmosphere and Italian murals, this iconic bar provides a unique backdrop for memorable nights out with friends and family.

Introducing the new Erie Street Kitchen, now open within the Venice Cafe, where farm-fresh local produce from artisan suppliers and farmers is showcased in a menu featuring hot chicken, unique sides, seafood delights, and a creative sharable toast section with accouterments. This chef-driven and clean, food-focused eatery is not only a favorite for the whole family but also the hottest spot in downtown Kent to impress guests.
