The restaurant was founded by Owner/Operator Ben Myers, drawing on years of experience in the industry. The vision emerged when Myers and his longtime friends Steve and Madelyn Whitt connected with business partner Kyle Oberlin, who had identified the old East Liberty School building as a potential space. After nearly two years of planning and renovation, the team transformed the historic building into a dining destination, aiming to bring a trendy, urban-style experience to the local area.

The restaurant sits on South Arlington Road, about a mile from East Turkeyfoot Lake Road and a short drive from East Liberty Park. It is located near the Springhill Sports Complex, approximately 0.6 miles away, and Chenowith Road, about 0.9 miles distant. The nearby UPS Store is within 67 meters, and South Arlington Road runs just 128 meters away.

The Industry Kitchen & Bar stands as a locally rooted destination that blends urban dining concepts with community presence, offering a distinctive atmosphere in Akron’s South Arlington neighborhood. Its focus on quality food, craft cocktails, and a unique venue reflects a commitment to delivering a memorable local experience.
