Take your evening up an octave by going to the Circle of 5ths, the new craft cocktail bar above Blu Jazz+ in Akron. Named after a music theory term, the spot serves eye-catching cocktails and small plates that strike the right chord between fine dining and elevated street food Thursdays through Saturdays. Hit a perfect note with a salted kumquat Americano ($13) featuring house vanilla vodka, Campari, sweet vermouth, lemon, maple and salted citrus Campari meringue that’s torched for a night-cap that warms you right up.
