Finding Variety and Common Ground
For your next road trip, you should start at Common Ground, 220 N. State Road, Medina, OH, a unique multi-use merchant and craft-maker space in a historic warehouse. More than 50 small businesses call Common Ground home. With over 120,000sq.ft. of space, it also features venue space, places to eat (pop-up food vendors) and drink, indoor recreation, and more. The idea is to create a new community hub within the city of Medina. From a beer garden to crafts workshops to places to try delicious food and drink concoctions, The Common Ground is worth a look (and taste!).
One place you can’t miss when you’re in Common Ground is Pickleback’s, 220 N State Rd, Medina, OH, a new bar and lounge located in the Common Ground market. Named after a shot and chaser concoction featuring whisky and pickle brine, Pickleback’s is the place to go for the latest and greatest cocktails, from traditional favorites like an Old Fashioned but with a twist to the Espresso Tini featuring coffee liqueur, vodka, Aperol, and espresso. Guaranteed to please!
Sweets and Sophistication
Touted as one of Ohio’s first true gourmet donut shops, Circles on the Square, 28 S Court St, Medina, OH, makes its donuts fresh throughout the day. Expert bakers handcraft them to order while you watch. They are highly popular, with customer reviews that rave about the quality, taste, and innovation on display.
Make time to sample the culinary feast that is Thyme², 113 West Smith Road, Medina, OH. Designed as a “multi-concept” restaurant with a pub on the ground floor and a fine dining space above it, Thyme² caters to your taste and temperament.
