About

In the beginning, Michael worked day and night, often catching sleep between daytime food orders while building his vision from the ground up. Through hard work, dedication, and a passion for hospitality, Odis 12 quickly became a local gathering place.

As the years passed, the bar continued to grow, but even more impressive was its reputation for exceptional food, award-winning wings, and memorable experiences. What started as a neighborhood sports bar evolved into one of Erie's favorite destinations for great food, cold drinks, and good times.

For Odis, the dream was always bigger than opening a bar. It was about creating a place where great food, unforgettable experiences, and a passion for sports could bring people together.

Through hard work and dedication, he was able to turn that vision into reality—building a destination where family, friends, teammates, and fans could gather in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

Just as important was the opportunity to give back to the community that helped shape him. Supporting local sports and young athletes has always been close to Odis' heart, reflecting the values and life lessons he believes sports can teach.

Today, Odis 12 stands as more than a sports bar. It is the realization of a lifelong dream—a place built on community, family, friendship, and a love of the game, where memories are made every day.
