Cleveland East
Flats Bars &
Restaurants
There
is always a party going on in The Flats. Right on the water
at the East end of Front St, Old River Rd, it is loaded with bars
that are always hopping after a game at
Jacob's Field or Quicken Loans Arena. More
than likely you will see some of the players from whatever game
you came to Cleveland to see.

Basement
American/Dance
1078
Old River Rd.
There
is usually a line, but it is worth the wait. Balcony's
that overlook the streets and a deck-bar are the
highlights. Techno and New Wave music rule the dance
floor, but not the entire bar.

Dick's
Last Resort
American
1096
Old River Road
 Always
a fun place to go, even though its a chain restaurant.
Great burgers and other sandwiches, buckets of seafood and
32oz bottles of beer. If you haven't been to one,
don't be offended by the employees when they come off as a
little rude. They also feature live music
occasionally.

Fado
Irish/Live

 Irish architecture and a good draft beer
selection highlight Fado. There is plenty of room, but
the place still finds a way to get a little crowded.
The weekends usually feature live Irish bands.

Cleveland West

that cater to dining rather than the clubbing that is prevalent on
the East side.

Downtown
Cleveland Bars & Restaurants
There
are lots of great bars right around Jacob's Field and

the game.
