Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Cleveland right now.
In Cleveland, nightlife is concentrated in the fashionable Warehouse District and on both banks of the Flats. The best spots are not limited to those areas, however, and intrepid revelers can find quirky clubs through the downtown area and in a range of neighborhoods. In Ohio City, across the river, Market Avenue bustles with sidewalk cafés in the summertime.
What began in 1923 with the Cleveland Air Races is still one of the premier air shows in the country, drawing more than 40 military and civilian aircraft to the Burke Lakefront Airport in downtown Cleveland for Labor Day weekend.
Seating is cabaret-style at the comfortable Improv Comedy Club & Restaurant. Attentive servers bustle throughout the club to deliver drinks, but they cause little distraction. The Improv's familiar brick wall on stage and white-hot spotlight emphasizes the entertainment but also reminds the audience that the comedy business can be lonely at times. Dinner is served before the first show every night. For shows featuring nationally known comedians, buy tickets online in advance. Even if performers are regional acts, you should arrive early or be prepared to sit extreme stage right or stage left.
