SUMMARY:ROSÉ ALL DAY
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Speak of the Devil for Rosé All Day\, an easygoing wine tasting that leans right into the feeling of summer on the horizon. For the evening\, we’ll be pouring a guided flight of four rosé wines from around the world—one each from Oregon\, California\, Portugal\, and South Africa—each offering its own take on what makes this style of wine so refreshing\, versatile\, and beloved.\n\nOur friend Derek Jones from Vintage Wines will be with us to walk everyone through the tasting\, sharing a bit about the regions\, the producers\, and what makes each of these wines unique. Derek always has a great way of making wine approachable and interesting\, whether you’re a longtime rosé fan or just starting to explore it.\n\nThink bright\, lively wines\, good conversation\, and a relaxed evening at the bar as we toast the season that’s just around the corner. If you’ve been craving a little hint of summer\, this might be exactly the way to find it.

SUMMARY:BOOKS & BREWS: "KENT STATE" BY JOHN BACKDERF
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next gathering of Books & Brews\, our laid-back neighborhood book club where good conversation meets a good drink.\n\nThis month we’ll be discussing Kent State — the powerful and deeply researched graphic novel that revisits the tragic events of May 4\, 1970\, when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University. Backderf\, an Ohio native and award-winning cartoonist\, brings the story to life with remarkable care\, capturing the tension\, confusion\, and humanity of the moment from multiple perspectives.\nBooks & Brews is always a welcoming\, low-pressure conversation—no lectures\, no homework vibes\, just thoughtful discussion around the table with a room full of curious people.\n\nAnd if books aren’t your thing\, that’s alright too. The bar will be open and doing its usual Thursday night thing\, so you can still swing by for a cocktail and the company.\n\nCome grab a drink\, pull up a chair\, and join the conversation.

SUMMARY:BEN GAGE
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Ben Gage\, live at Speak of the Devil.\nBen Gage is a songwriter out of Akron\, Ohio\, blending folk guitar and blues harmonica into a warm\, easygoing Americana sound. A few years ago he traded a corporate career for the road\, and since 2021 he’s been touring across the U.S.\, Canada\, and Europe\, building a life around music\, travel\, and a lot more fresh air.\n\nHis songs pull from the places he’s wandered and the people he’s met along the way—road-earned stories delivered with a sense of humor and a love for the simple things.\n\nOn stage\, Ben has a way of making the room feel smaller in the best possible way. He invites everyone to settle in like neighbors\, listen together\, and maybe remember not to take life quite so seriously for a little while.\n\nIt should be a perfect night of music for the room. Come early\, grab a drink\, and stay awhile.

SUMMARY:BOOKS & BREWS: "REVOLUTIONARY ROAD" - RICHARD YATES
DESCRIPTION:This month at Books & Brews\, we are diving into Richard Yates’ classic novel Revolutionary Road. \nSet in the suburbs of the 1950s\, it is a sharp\, sad\, brutally honest look at marriage\, ambition\, disappointment and the quiet panic of realizing your life may not look the way you once imagined it would. It is funny in places\, heartbreaking in others and still feels remarkably modern all these years later. \nIf you have ever looked around and wondered “is this really it?” this is probably the book for you. \nJoin us for good conversation\, cocktails and another great night with our friends at the Lorain Public Library.

SUMMARY:DJ TEDDY EISENBERG: GLOBAL GROOVE
DESCRIPTION:Lorain’s International Festival weekend deserves a soundtrack that travels a little.\n\nOn Friday night\, DJ Teddy Eisenberg returns to Speak of the Devil with an all vinyl set built for the occasion. Soul\, psych\, funk\, jazz\, garage\, disco\, world grooves and odd little gems from all over the map\, all spun the way they were meant to be spun: on records\, with a little crackle in the speakers and a drink in your hand.\n\nTeddy always knows how to turn the room into something special. One minute it feels like downtown Lorain\, the next minute it feels like you wandered into some hidden basement bar in another city entirely.\n\nIt is International Festival weekend\, after all. Might as well let the music travel too.\n\nMusic starts at 7:30PM. No cover. Just good records\, good cocktails and a Friday night in Lorain that feels a little bigger than usual

SUMMARY:ICE CREAM COCKTAIL SOCIAL
DESCRIPTION:Booze and ice cream? Come on. Of course.\n\nOur annual Ice Cream (Cocktails) Social returns with a menu full of frozen\, creamy\, boozy nonsense in the very best possible way. Ice cream cocktails are one of those glorious old-school bar traditions that deserve way more love than they get\, and once a year we lean all the way in.\n\nRidiculous ice cream cocktail creations that remind you that adulthood does occasionally have its perks.\n\nIt is sweet\, it is cold\, it is probably a little over the top\, and it is always one of the most fun weekends of the summer around here.\n\nSo yes. Booze and ice cream. We are doing this again.
