Pish Posh

Posh Bistro Restaurant, 1 West Exchange Street, 330.253.7777

It was a Thursday night, I was thoroughly sloshed and I was in line to get into Posh. Not my normal scene, but hey, I’m sacrificing for the good of all of our loyal RubberBuzz readers. Luckily, Fuel is just across the street, and had been primed with 5 martinis.

After a relatively short wait to get into Posh, I made my way upstairs to the dance floor (editor’s note: stairs really suck when you’re drunk). My ears were filled with the sounds of 6-month-old R&B accompanied by videos taped directly from BET and MTV2, but at least it was good outdated music.

The scenery was covered with 19 year old girls getting hit on by 26 year old guys. My two favorite of these girls were wearing matching outfits: bellbottom sweatpants with a tube top. One was in a peachy color, the other was in teal. They looked like J.Lo. clones.

As the night progressed and the martinis hit me, I knew it was time to go home. When you’re a little tipsy, going down the stairs can be some trouble, but luckily I didn’t fall. Finally, my evening at Posh had ended, but no night is complete without a ride home in one of Akron’s great taxis. This night, the driver was a crazy racist who made multiple racial comments and jokes.

Overall, I guess Posh wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. If you go in there expecting to be impressed by your surroundings or to be able to have a conversation, you’re going to be disappointed. But if you’re going in there to dance to old music and watch girls who wish they were J.Lo., then you’re going to have a good time. All in all, Posh is two blimps full of debauchery with a blimp and a half for outdated music.
