Happy Pride Month from the Kent State University Hotel and Conference Center.

Pride Month is almost here, and we’re ready to raise a glass! 🌈🍹

Our June drink special, The Village Punch, is inspired by the spirit of Greenwich Village in 1969 — the New York City neighborhood where the historic Stonewall Inn became an international symbol of the fight for LGBTQ+ equality.

Bright, colorful, and full of flavor, this vodka punch features pineapple, orange, lemon, and a splash of grenadine for a vibrant layered glow.

Enjoy The Village Punch for just $8 all Pride Month long — and with every drink sold, $1 will be donated back to Kent Pride Fest.

Stop in, celebrate with us, and support love, community, and inclusion right here in Kent.
