Blossom Music Center is in Cuyahoga Falls, north of the Merriman Valley. Crust & Cocktails is a 55-seat pizza, wine and cocktail room in Liberty Commons, and the drive between the two is about 15 minutes on free-flowing roads.
This page covers the drive, the hours to plan around and what to order. It makes no claim about Blossom's own schedule, parking or gates; check those with Blossom.
From Weathervane Lane, take Merriman Road, which continues as Riverview Road. Turn right on West Bath Road, left on Akron Peninsula Road, and right on West Steels Corners Road toward Blossom.
The drive is about 6 miles and about 15 minutes. Those are free-flow estimates, not a traffic promise; on a busy night at Blossom, allow extra time.
The menu is short and printed: antipasti, insalata, pizzaiolo, panini and dolce. For a table heading out, the Charcuterie Board at $19 and Classic Meatballs at $9 share well, and the Margherita and the Classic Pepperoni are $17 each. Pizzas are made to order.
Wine comes from a list of 23 wines plus Laluca Prosecco, and craft cocktails are made at the bar. If you are the one driving to Blossom, the bottled list includes an alcohol-free Elvis Juice.
Crust opens at 4pm Monday to Friday and at 11am on Saturday and Sunday. It closes at 11pm Monday to Thursday, at midnight on Friday and Saturday, and at 9pm on Sunday.
Check the start time on your Blossom ticket and plan backwards from it: pizzas are made to order, reservations are limited in a 55-seat room, and the drive is about 15 minutes. On Sunday the room closes at 9pm, so check that a meal after a Sunday event still fits.
Crust & Cocktails, 1256 Weathervane Ln, Akron, OH 44313, in Liberty Commons in the Merriman Valley. Weathervane Lane runs off Merriman Road, the same road that becomes Riverview Road on the way to Blossom.
