About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
Bernie and Mickey Hanula founded the institution known as the Players Retreat. Less of a bar and restaurant, and more of a family, the PR remains a popular respite for the young and the old, the rich and the poor. It is a place where people from all walks of life rub elbows, share toasts, good times, and laughs. At 74 years old, very little has changed since its humble beginnings. In 1994 Pete Jarrell took over the PR and continued the tradition. Our friends Bernie and Mickey passed away several years ago. In their honor, our staff and our guests strive to keep the PR the way that it has always been and as it should always be. Thank you for your patronage and support over the years, and may the PR continue for another 74 years.

    This was our first time to Player's Retreat. It was a seat yourself place so we picked a spot away from the bar. We got our drink and looked over the menu. We decided on cheese fries for our appetizer, OH MY GOODNESS, there was enough on the plate for 4 people and they were good too. My wife ordered the chicken sandwich and I got the cajun bratwurst. again, tons of food. We were so full from the fries we could only take a couple of bites from our entree. But everything was hot and delicious. Player's is a hidden treat and off the beaten path on Oberlin but well worth the visit. They also don't break the bank, even with all the food they serve you. Give it a try.
