For the size of the city, there's a large number of clubs and, for music lovers, that's a great thing. There’s live music every night of the week. Here are a handful of your options:
Brother's Lounge 11609 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, OH 44102 216.226.2767 www.brotherslounge.com
Brothers Lounge is a vintage establishment with a rejuvenated spirit that offers something for everyone: a neighborhood pub, a wine bar with its own stage and piano and a music hall. Enjoy a burger and frosty beer with a friend, share a bottle of wine with that special someone or watch a seven-piece band bring down the house.
The Beachland Ballroom was built in 1950 as the Croatian Liberty Home. The Liberty Home was active on many social and political fronts and was a true Cleveland landmark before becoming Cleveland's most eclectic live music club in the year 2000. Its owners, Cindy Barber and Mark Leddy, really know and care about the music scene and it shows in their diverse lineup. The nationally-acclaimed concert club also includes This Way Out, a basement vintage store and is located near the record store Music Saves and the always fun Shoparooni, all which keep late hours to accommodate the music crowds.
Fat Fish Blue 21 Prospect Ave. E.,, Cleveland, OH 44115 216.875.6000 www.fatfishblue.com
Fat Fish Blue is about food, fun and friends. FFB's stage hosts LIVE entertainment 5 nights a week, including local and national touring artists. Creative Louisiana-Creole cooking and a relaxed atmosphere create the perfect setting for a business lunch, dinner with friends or an evening of late-nite libations, dancing and debauchery. Parties from 10 to 400 are welcome (no kidding, but please call ahead!).
House of Blues 308 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44113 216.523.blue www.hob.com/cleveland
The House of Blues Cleveland has it all . . . southern cuisine, walls lined with colorful American folk art, an energized vibe and some of the biggest live music acts touring the country. Located on East Fourth Street, the club and restaurant are surrounded by an Irish pub, Iron Chef Michael Symon’s upscale American bistro (Lola), a martini bowling alley, a comedy club and so much more. The House of Blues Cleveland is built in a former Woolworth five and dime store, adding to its character and charm.
From the outside Nighttown looks like a small neighborhood place but, in this case, looks are deceiving. The only club in Ohio on Down Beat magazine's list of "100 Best Jazz Clubs in the World," with live music nearly every night of the week, great food, a clubby atmosphere inside, a fabulous patio outside and a very cool vibe.
