Saturday night The Mr & I went out on the town with some friends. We had dinner at 6:30 – had a great time – dinner ended about 9:00. It was definitely too early to go home so as we drove by Pilgrim Square (super cute plaza in West Akron) – as we were driving by we saw the OPEN sign for this wine shop, 750 ML Wines, we stopped in.
750 ML was FABULOUS! The atmosphere was sexy, trendy, and had clean lines. There were clusters of couches set up around the shop, as well as a bar area with stools. 750 ML had a huge variety of wines to buy/ taste – at every price point – as well as Champagnes/ Sparkling Wines. December 26th & 27th they featured flights of wine for $5.00! (5 wines to taste for $5.00!) In the coming year – 750 ML plans to feature different wines and wine tasting. If you are not a wine lover – there is beer to mix and match to create your own 6 pack! (They are waiting for their license to serve beer for beer tasting - coming shortly!)
The shop owners are Jim & Karla Walters. They are young, recently married, and energetic about their business! They were fun to spend time with and were very knowledgeable about about the wines. 750 ml is the perfect place to go for the final night cap for the evening, a pre- dinner drink, somewhere to go and kill time, as well as a great alternative to West Point Market for buying different and interesting wines.
Here is the basic 411 on the store:
Hours: Monday – Thurs: 10am – 9pm
Sat & Sunday: 10am – 10 pm
Closed Sunday
2287 W Market Street, Akron Ohio 44313 – Phone: 330-794-5754 – www.750mlwines.com
SO – As we walked in, the fireplace was going, there were fun people, and the wine and napa baguettes were flowing!! I give it two thumbs up!
UPDATE: They do have their beer tasting license – Beer taste away!!!!
UPDATE II: 750 has their full license now and their patio is open as well!

Wow, I thought it was just going to be a retail shop, so it is nice to see I can do some tasting at 750 ml as well. Market Avenue Wine Bar in Ohio City has been my "place" and I am so happy there is something closer to home now. Thanks for the report.
WOO HOO!!! You will love it!
Hi Tia!
I am really glad you wrote about this place! I also thought it was going to be a retail store.
Keep up the good work!
Just an update 750ml has a full license now. Not only can you get wine tastes there, now you can buy glasses of wine or a bottle and enjoy it on premise! Jim and Karla are good friends of mine, and i just love 750ml. Check it out if you have not yet.
Great review Tia.
Thank you for reading! Post updated
