The Town Tavern Copley sits at 125 Montrose W Ave and runs 11am to 2:30am on weekdays and 9am to 2:30am at weekends, so almost any kick-off is covered. Reserve through the Montrose Toast page and call (234) 466-0227 to confirm the game and the sound.
This is the long-form version for people who are choosing a room rather than confirming one. It covers the hours, the food, the group logistics and the one thing you should never take from a website.
Montrose is a corridor of chain signage and parking lots, and the thing that makes a tavern worth the turn-off is that it behaves like somewhere people are from. The Town Tavern Copley is at 125 Montrose W Ave, it is open seven days, and it does not stop serving at the hour most of that corridor does. Those are unglamorous facts, and on a game day they are the ones that matter.
Start with availability, because it is where most plans fail. Monday to Friday the doors open at 11am. Saturday and Sunday they open at 9am. Every single night the room runs to 2:30am. That covers an early Premier League kick-off, a noon college start, a four o'clock, a Sunday night game, and whatever happens afterwards.
Then the thing this page will not do: promise you a specific broadcast. Rights and packages change week to week and no static page in the world is a trustworthy source on them. The right move is one phone call to (234) 466-0227 before you drive over, naming the game and asking two questions — will it be on, and will the sound be up. The answer comes from someone standing in the room.
Where the tavern does make a promise is the kitchen, and it is a bigger one than the category usually gets. This is not a room that treats food as ballast between rounds. The same menu that sends out Jumbo Tavern Wings in more than a dozen house sauces also sends out an 8 oz filet with steak butter, a hand-cut 12 oz strip, chargrilled walleye and a cedar plank salmon. You can watch a game here and eat properly, which is rarer than it should be.
For a game specifically, the shareables section is the one to read. Game Time Nachos with grilled chicken, three cheeses, jalapeños, pico, cilantro and lime. A giant Bavarian pretzel with stadium mustard, honey mustard and spicy aioli. Candied bacon and onion dip with four cheeses and chipotle. Truffle fries under shaved parmesan, roasted garlic and rosemary. Crispy calamari with Peppadew peppers and homemade marinara. None of it requires you to look down for long.
Copley is one of two Town Tavern rooms, and the other one is south of Akron in Uniontown. They keep the same hours and print the same menu, so the choice between them is a driving decision rather than a quality one. If half your group is coming up the 77, send them to Town Park Blvd instead and meet in the middle another week.
The last piece is the room's temperament. It is a tavern with a long bar, wood on the walls and a neon sign that ends up in everybody's photos. It fills and empties over the course of a long day rather than turning over in two-hour blocks, which is exactly what you want when a game goes long.
Think about who you are bringing, because that is usually what decides whether a game-day room works. A group of four that wants wings, a shared pretzel and a long afternoon is served very well here. So is the couple who want the game on and a proper dinner in front of them — the Fresh Catch board and the entrées mean nobody has to pretend nachos are a meal.
The other thing Montrose rooms are usually short of is time. Most kitchens on this corridor stop serving food while the evening is still going, which turns the back half of a late game into a drinks-only proposition. Copley's kitchen is attached to a room that runs to 2:30am, seven days, and that changes what a long Sunday actually feels like.
Book the table through Copley's own Toast reservations page, filed under the Montrose name. Order takeout through the matching Toast storefront if the game is being watched at home. Both links belong to this address and show this kitchen's current list.
Then make the call. (234) 466-0227 rings inside the building, and it is the only reliable way to settle a question about tonight — the game, the sound, a table for eight, a sauce on the side for someone who cannot do heat.
If your group is arriving in waves, say so when you call. A table that fills up over an hour is a different problem for the floor than a table that lands all at once, and the room would far rather know in advance than discover it at kick-off.
For a noon start, arrive by half eleven on a weekday or take advantage of the 9am weekend opening and settle in early. For an evening game, the room has been running since the morning and has found its rhythm by the time you get there.
Nothing on the timetable forces you out afterwards. The 2:30am close is seven nights a week, so the post-game half hour that most kitchens cut short is still open here.
Weekend mornings deserve a mention of their own. Doors at 9am means an early European kick-off is genuinely watchable here rather than theoretically watchable, and the room at that hour is calm enough that you can actually follow the commentary.
