One of the secret pleasures of living in a college town is when the students head home for summer break and your hometown becomes yours once again, even if just for a few short months. But that doesn’t mean the campus is empty. In fact, the Oberlin College campus remains the center of activity all summer long.

1833 Restaurant at The Hotel at Oberlin right on Tappan Square offers a cool atmosphere, unique beverage selections, and a friendly staff. With 10 beers on tap, including Ohio favorites Columbus IPA and Burning River Pale Ale, and over 20 bottled varieties there’s no wonder 1833 Restaurant is the place to be after work. Drink and menu specials are offered at weekday Hours of Happiness from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. You can’t go wrong at a place that has a Bee’s Knees on their signature cocktail menu. Grab a bar stool and settle in while the town’s quiet.
