House Three Thirty

Bar Phoenix & The Phoenix Room is a downtown Akron Partnership lists recurring 2026 Jazz Nights and a January 2026 live rock/pop/R&B/blues band performance.

Before pursuing a date, bands should think about whether their normal set length, equipment footprint, volume, and audience draw suit the way people actually use the space during live events.
