Adams Street Bar, now closed, was located at 77 N. Adams Street in Akron, Ohio. The location had a rich history and was Akron’s longest running bar in the LGBTQ+ community when it closed in 2018. The venue got its start in the late 1960’s when Helen Jenkins opened it as the Robin’s Nest, a lesbian bar. In 1974 she re-branded Robin’s Nest as the Hayloft, a gay man’s bar. Don Brown took over ownership on June 5th, 1979 and shortly after renamed the bar Adams Street Bar.
