R. Shea Brewing is located at 540 S Main St Suite 214, Akron, OH 44311 it's directly behind Missing Falls Brewery in Akron's Canal Place industrial park. They have plenty of parking for both breweries and the surrounding business.

The food, I have had pizza (pictured), Chicken Sandwiches, and wraps, everything has been good. They tend to run specials through the week and the Monday Lunch Special you cannot beat a burger and beer for $15.00 plus tip.

The Beer I had several beers this trip I had the Hop Getaway Cabin Fever Edition this was a middle of the road IPA but would order again, i finished the night out with a delicious desert beer known as the Dessert List with Chocolate Cheesecake. This was a smooth full body beer with a nice hint of chocolate in a milk stout it did taste like i was having a cheese cake. 

The Loo, being an old factory they have plenty :) R. Shea has some inside all the way at the end next to the party room and if those are full you can exit the brewery and go down the hallway and follow the signs to the shared for the building. Those i recommend you skip interesting yes but skip them if you can. 

The bad news, R. Shea had expanded into the Akron area late 2019 and with COVID had taken a hit like many business. In early 2024 they announced that they were going to have to close both locations (Akron & the Valley location). This is an huge loss for the area as it was a very unique location with over view to the production floor that you could rent for an event to the 2 story graffiti wall that showed the Akron skyline.
