The magic of Poler’s Pub is the horseshoe bar, it keeps the good conversation flowing. The new owner of this 1902 tavern is undoubtedly a straight shooter & as honest as they come. I arrive at this conclusion for one reason: he proudly displays a large sign on an inside wall that reads [Poler’s, Established 2021]. For marketing purposes, this proprietor could have easily leveraged the century-plus operating history of this popular local bar spot, as well as the branding strength of its former name, but he chose to plant an acorn instead. I salute you for the courage of that conviction, sir, & for your military service as well.
For a lot of us born before 2021 though, Poler’s Pub will always be O’Brien’s. Many a memorable night at O’Brien’s! But O’Brien’s never had a different delicious burger each week & Poler’s does, along with almost a full alphabet of great beer choices, a decent wine inventory & live music. While it can get crowded, lively & loud at times, a three-season outdoor space can handle the overflow nicely. The place got a thorough refresh under the new owner, but it still feels distinctly familiar & comfortable. Poler’s is also open more hours & later than any other public gathering place in Medina. It’s definitely your friendly neighborhood gin joint.

This is a pretty nice place. Seems to be recently renovated and refreshed. Pretty good atmosphere but nothing fancy. Typical offerings for Medina. Jack, Bean, and blue collar beers. All you need for a good time. Didn't order any food. Bar keep was good though.
I'd recommend it for a casual stop if you want a drink.

When we went today on a Tuesday afternoon, it was pretty empty except for maybe 5 people at the bar. We had stopped in for lunch because I saw burgers on their menu, and they did not disappoint! The fried baloney sandwich was affordable and very filling, and tasty. My blue cheese and bacon burger was amazing, and they added grilled onions for me. Great service, and I met a frequent flyer’s dog, goosie, that made my day.
We love this place! It feels like home. we drive 30 miles every couple weeks just to relax and play a little quick draw. We just love goose!

The Pub Chub
Stopped by Monday night at 7:45 pm with a friend from out of town. The bartender told us they close at 8 pm on Mondays. The website, Google maps hours and the sign on the front door all say they are open until 2 am. We went to Mark's Pizza across the street and had a great time (delicious food and a fun atmosphere). While sitting outside having a drink, we saw 3 or 4 cars pull up to Poler's, try the handle and then drive away. Lots of lost business for them. 🤷♂️

They call it the "Pub Chub" on the menu and it the best burger I've ever had. Believe me in my 73 years on the planet traveling in my RV I've had a lot of burgers all over the US. And the bartender was absolutely fantastic and the sweetest, friendliest person you could ever meet. Thank You so much for a great meal and afternoon on your deck Jim & Ce out of Florida

This is hands down the BEST place to eat in Medina!!!! The chicken pot pie soup is well the most AMAZING DELICIOUS OUT OF THIS WORLD BEST TASTING SOUP I have EVER EVER put in my mouth! I would love to compare it to something euphoric but I’m not sure if google would let me speak that kind of language!!!!
THIS WEEK STOP AT POLARS FOR THE BEST SERVICE AND FOOD IN TOWN!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!
I have always appreciated that they are open 7 days a week. No bars/restaurants in the area are. But now they have food. The burgers did not disappoint.
