Super friendly staff. Tour is in the works for you of you ask and if there is no concert going on. Phenomenal history and incredible detail. So cool band history.

What a great place. The set up is awesome. Upper and lower deck. 4 bars. Quality food and drinks. Friendly staff. Couturious security. I seen 5 live bands back to back. Place is very stylish and has amazing art and lighting. Great view from the stage no matter where you chose to sit or stand. My first visit here and am looking forward to seeing more live music. A gem in the heart of downtown Cleveland. Thanks for having me.

Great venue for smaller shows. Overpriced drinks. Friendly staff

Nice place! Nice set up (up and down stairs)! Host great events!

This venue is very nice and clean. The staff is friendly and the drinks are great. One of my favorite places to see a concert.

Hot food, cold beverages, and live music......makes a fun night. Place was busy as soccer and the baseball game ended about same time however friendly staff were able to seat us. Had the Cadillac margarita.....delicious! Food and drinks were on point all night. Definitely a good stop especially when live music is in the restaurant.

Great place to see a show!! Plenty to do nearby while you wait for your show, or head upstairs for some good food and friendly times. The only reason for a 4 star and not a 5 was the price of the drinks. 11$ for a beer and 15$+ for a mixed... A bit steep, but somewhat understandable. Still knocks that 1 star off for me though.

Ordered a screwdriver at first and tipped well, but it literally tasted like drinking rubbing alcohol. Not the biggest fan of the way the venue is set up with the stage. Ive been here a few times. But this review is specifically for when i went to see The Word Alive. They sounded great. Amazing band.Also ate at the restaurant and that on its own was 5 star other than a little slow(but its in the heart of Cleveland so thats okay)

My family and I had a wonderful time because of a couple of great employees last night. It was my eight year old sons first real concert, Hanson. My son loves music and plays the drums. We happened to be standing next to some pretty, I guess you could say aggressive fans. He was overwhelmed and I almost thought I was going to have to leave with him. A security guard name Jason was like a knight in shining armor to him. Adam was another security guard that made us feel safe and comfortable.there was also a lady that worked there also, I just didnt get her name. The night ended up being fantastic and memories that he will cherish forever. He loved the show and is going to be rocking out even harder now. Thank you guys again

Went there to see Hobo Johnson. One of the best nights and shows of my life. So happy I got to go. The only reason I am giving it a 4 is because the bars refused to serve us until the rest of the crowd was allowed in. We had early entry and there are no seats so if we left after everyone else came in, we would have lost our place by stage. I wasnt risking my good position for a drink. So the bar missed out on a lot of money by refusing my friends and I. Also one of my friends ordered food and they never actually made it. She paid for it and checked on it twice and they kept telling her it wasnt ready.

Great location for a concert! We did the dinner package with our show. Our server Autumn was great! The VIP hostess brought us to our table and our cocktail waitress took care of us all night! Our show was amazing! It was so nice to be so close to the stage!

My son displayed his photography work tonight. All kinds of art work people dress in costume. They had a fashion show and some rapping. It was a good night. I didnt want it to end. Very pleasant. I left feeling good happy.

Awesome place for live music. The opera box is a must. Perfect view of the band and you have a dedicated cocktail waitress whos attentive. Plenty of room to walk around and sit on swivel chairs.

There are many of these scattered around the US. This is about the Gospel Brunch only. Different than the one in New Orleans, mimosas are extra $, as is all alcohol. You get a pitcher of OJ and coffee at your table, but you have to walk to the bar for everything else - yes, even water! Odd choice, but thats the deal. Chicken/waffles and ham/biscuits were good by buffet standards. Omelettes might be a better choice, as they are made to order, then put on your plate. The gospel band on our Sunday was on the way but not stellar. Sincere and energetic, they had difficulty warming up the house. They could have used a real bass player, instead of the keyboardist trying to make do. Pitch confidence was high from the vocalists. These ears would have appreciated more female vocalist feature. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves, and would probably go back.

Multiple levels of great displays. The variety of artifacts are amazing. My personal favorite was the Jimi Hendrix exhibit. They displayed many of his most well known & iconic outfits, his hand written lyric sheets & even drawings he did as a child!Great attractions for all ages & those who love rock & roll!

Restaurant & Bar. Food was really good. Mushroom tacos were phenomenal! Great live music. My only dislike was the waitress coming over ever 5 minutes asking if were doing ok which was getting really annoying.

I always enjoy myself at this venue. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and helpful. Theres a VIP area of you want to pay for a table. Its just the right size for you to be able to get close to the bands.

The House of Blues is perfect for an intimate feeling during a concert. You feel so close to the performance. Its amazing!! Its definitely legendary.

We went to do dinner and a show afterwards, a work friend was in one of the bands. Basically you have a restaurant with a somewhat intimate performance area for live music acts. They execute the concept very well and its one of the best places in the city to get up close and personal with the artists in a way that you just cant get in the larger venues. The food was a mix of staples; burgers, brisket and ribs and such. Portions were generous and the many staff and servers were polite and professional. Shout out to Mike who really made my darling Bride and I feel special by escorting us the back way thru the restaurant to the stage area, VERY cool! If youve ever seen the good fellas scene where Henry and his date enter the night club you get the idea. Great Friday night date night destination. Highly recommend.

Loved my experience here so much! The atmosphere and the people here are awesome and the concert was amazing!! I highly recommend you attend a good choiced concert at this location, youll certainly enjoy it, hopefully as much as I did!

This place is a great location for concert viewing. The only downside is that it isnt as open as I would prefer, so you have to get right into it to see the performance. Although the balcony seats are fantastic for the right show!

Good venue but high drink prices and strict security checks even between smoke breaks are a bit trying at times! Regardless of small tifts this venue hosts some phenomenal talent and is one of the most beautiful venues Ive come across in Cleveland! The foundation room they added is also a stunning venue!

Small venue for sure. Great place to see the band up close. Can be a bit tight. The food is very good, but dont be in a hurry, service is SLOW. Took a long time just to get drinks. Waiter was apologetic about the wait. Were never in that big a hurry so I didnt mind the wait. The food was worth the wait.

Awesome venue for live music. It’s small but cozy. I was there for Dark Star Orchestra and it was amazing. My first time there. The bathroom was very clean thanks to the woman who was cleaning and handing everyone towels, that was so sweet. Drink prices were steep but I still had a great time!

The dinner package is so reasonable. Once you pay for the dinner package you get $35 in food and drinks(alcohol too) at the restaurant. You eat dinner before & they send a host to take you to your own table at the show. Great service. We definitely want to do it again.

Great bar food, fresh and fast. Bartenders are all very friendly! Great small venue for music!

I came here for two shows recently: one in the small room and one in the big room. Quite honestly, the small room was much more enjoyable. The sound was great in both rooms, but there was actually room to move around in the small room. The show I went to in the big room was sold out and you couldn’t even move an inch.

Taking my daughter to her first I guess you could say to her first metal concert. The House of blues was the ideal place. Seeing MIW at the House of blues was perfect, the staff the atmosphere was amazing. No matter where you were standing you could see everything. Im not sure if its the way the place was designed, but it wasnt so loud that you couldnt hear yourself when the concert was over. And even though there was a lot of people it was not over crowded. I look forward to taking my daughter and my wife to future events there.

This was my first time at this venue. While most tickets are general admission standing, I opted for the reserved balcony seating. It was well worth the additional money just to be sitting down. However, my first row balcony seat has a really good view and excellent leg room. The sound was at a great level too.

Marsha Ambrosius was totally Amazing. Most seductive songstress to grace the stage House of Blues. Thank you for your time and beautiful energy.

I went to the R&B only event. It was a decent crowd, great music but fans or some sort of HVAC unit should be required in this establishment. It was scorching hot!

This is such a great location especially for visitors to Cleveland that have never been here before. It is a nice size venue for watching a band perform but yet not too big to make it overly large. The decoration is extremely cool and if you make your way to the bar upstairs that is absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this to anyone in the area looking for a fun place to go and see.

This venue is more intimate as opposed to the giant stadiums that larger bands play at. I seen Lord Huron here and loved it. Being that close to any band and seeing them is definitely an experience that should never be passed up.

Nice, cozy atmosphere for a concert. Very good acoustics. Drink prices are very high. Located downtown Cleveland so parking is also costly unless you take public transportation or dont mind walking a bit.

The HOB staff were very interested in my experience, given it was my first time. The interest garnered from purchasing the Dinner Package was accommodating, and allowed me to appreciate Good food, Fine Liquor, VIP access, and engage with popular names in local and national entertainment. Excellent.

Great concert venue - really like the balcony seating.

I love this smaller venue. I had balcony seats that put us right over top of the stage. Most of the viewing is standing room on two levels. Not bad either if youre legs can manage.

The house of blues is cool to watch a concert at. I love sitting up top away from everyone who standing up. Even though people can stand up in front of you but I rather deal with that then standing all day until the end of the show.

When my husband, my sister and I went out to lunch, our server mentioned a tour. We had never realized how much was in that building. I believe they said it is the largest gallery of folk art in America. The art is amazing, the rooms are beautiful, the service was professional and of course the food, the food was delicious! I highly recommend the flat breads.

We had a Great time and the Show was a Sellout. Natalie Stovall was Awesome and My Cousins Band, Jamey Johnson, brought the House Down with Their single, In Color

I like this venue for a more personal experience. Prefer to sit in balcony if possible but floor is good too. I suppose as always shorter people may not be able to see well on floor. Drinks are expensive as with most venues now.

Cool vibe but drinks were NYC-level prices. We had gen admission tickets, which we learned on arrival were standing only. Upstairs, that meant standing behind a row of tall chairs that circled the railing. The floor isnt raised, so youre left looking at the backs of peoples heads. I dont think downstairs was any better.

Great acoustics. Cozy atmosphere. 2 levels of seating. Bars are close to seating but prices are very high. Located downtown Cleveland so parking is expensive unless you take public transportation or dont mind walking.

The food was flavorful and tasty overall. Drinks were a bit pricy compared to what you can get right down the street for less, which we ended up doing.

Nice vibrant location. Great live entertainment. The staff was friendly but the service was not up to par. I wouldn’t recommend this place late in the evening maybe they have better service in the afternoon the appetizers were great but the dinner was disappointing.

I wish I had 3 days to read everything and take it all in! They just added the items for the 2019 inductees so that was great to see. The BEST part was the video in the theater. It was as if you were live and in concert! Never enough space to do justice for all the inductees.

Lots of fun!First time here. Great experience.Convenient parking, more than a dozen places to eat and drink on the same block (8 min walk), well organized.Would go again.

AMAZING!!! The staff was so nice and friendly. They were constantly on the move taking care of people. And the band they selected was AWESOME!!! My first time going and I really want to go back!

Recent visit to see Belle and Sebastian with openers Men I Trust (who were AMAZING). Stopped in to the restaurant for dinner first - pleasantly surprised to have a really good meal. Nachos (suggested by server) were quite good, as was the fried chicken sandwich. Service was efficient and friendly, and out drinks were empty for only moments before another cold beer was brought to us. We asked for a specific table which I know screws up the server rotation - at no point did we feel that we inconvenienced anyone and this request was happily accommodated. Server asked if we were there to see the concert, and when he found out we had VIP tickets he quickly brought the individual responsible for coordinating this to our table. We were provided our passes and given information about how to get to the venue from the restaurant. The concert venue was intimate, with good-not-great acoustics. VIP section comfortable with outstanding service. Restroom facilities were clean enough, but why the creepy attendant? (Personal pet peeve - I cant stand someone handing me a towel or shilling candy or cologne) I am someone who looks askance at chain restaurants or places like this, preferring independent clubs and restaurants, but the professional manner of all staff, the quality of the food, and the fair prices will likely cause me to strongly considering another evening at House of Blues. Excellent experience!

My friends and I just went to House of Blues for the first time last night to see Conan Gray and it was amazing! We got general audience floor tickets, but we were able to move pretty close to the stage. It was so much more personal being able to see the band up close vs in an arena where you’re super far away.

House of Blues Cleveland is a great venue. Small enough to be close to your favorite bands but still have that big city feel. I took my son and daughter, who are 16 and 14. Because it is indoors, it was nice not to have to worry about subjecting them to any unwanted smoke. I dont mind when its just me, but not them. The venue has a good vibe to it. Great view from wherever you stand. We went to see Bowling for Soup and Less than Jake. The show was amazing! Food is available, but I didnt want to pay $10 for a gourmet grilled cheese. But hey, youre in Cleveland, theres food everywhere. Id go back for sure.

Great venue! Many bars including the general admission area, upstairs balcony that also has assigned seating for better views, and another bar connected to the concert venue where the restaurant is ! Ive visited here for concerts, beer tastings, and even a company party. Every time the venue doesnt disappoint. Clean bathrooms, efficient staff, and great history and environment!

One of the best small venues in Cleveland. Not a bad view in the house, and staff handles the rush very well.

Love this venue for shows! They also have improved the food tremendously so its a great option for a pre-show bite too. Definitely check out their Sounds of Summer Happy Hour that features a DJ in addition to deals on food and drinks. You must get the spicy fried popcorn shrimp if you do - its only on their Happy Hour menu and its so so good!

A great, small venue. Always love going there. However, the drink prices have jumped, paying $20 for a cocktail two weeks ago. Thats a bit extreme...

Food was good. And saw a great show

One of the best HoB locations! In the heart of Clevelands East 4th district. There is something for everyone on 4th Street. The vibe of Cleveland is amazing and will shift and adapt to the genre of of show at HoB or Quicken Loans Arena (renamed recently).

Small but awesome! Clean and good service. Up close and personal view of whose on stage.

Its one of my favourite venues. The latest show had the sound a bit too loud, but no complaints other than that. balcony area is good for general admission. friendly staff as well. picture is oliver tree in a wheel chair :)

This was an amazing experience. There were seats in the balcony. The standing room only section was true right size to hold a lot of people without feeling overcrowded.

It was very entertaining, glad they had seating instead of having to stand all night

The lamb ribs... oh just melted off the bone.. so good! The smell of the food pulled us in but, the people were so nice. It was such a good experience

Cool event last night at HOB, lots of great local breweries. The food was delicious and the venue was set up perfect

One of my favorite locations for the house of blues. The staff really make your experience a fun one. Concerts are incredible and ambiance is one huge party. Live this place.

Good service and food! The cajun pasta was way too oily. Didnt get a chance to hear live band, maybe next time.

Very enjoyable! Good food!! Great music!! The staff gave us a private tour! The decor is amazing!!

This is a great place for any foodie that also wants a great cocktail and groovy environment to consume it. The nacho appetizer was amazing and the yardbird chicken sandwich was juicy and delicious. There was also great souvenir is the attached store. Perfect place to eat before the Indians game. Quick, friendly service earned our server a great tip! We will be back!

Dont Take Your Anger of the Staff Out on the Artist!1. There are two VIPS for HOB. One is from the artist through VIPNation and the second is through HOB on their website. The HOB only gets you in before GA, but doesnt include meet & greet, so those people still get the front! Make sure to double-check this!2. Have your VIPNation email ready. Our email said VIP entry at 5:30 pm. The security guy was told VIP entry at 6 pm (which is the same time as the HOB VIP entry!). We showed him our email and he talked to the check-in people. They let us in at 5:40 pm... we were almost screwed out of our $150 VIP experience!3. If you thought other VIP m&g are fast, there were 50 people who had the artist VIP. Ive been to other concerts and Chris knows me, so we were able to have an actual conversation, but if this is your first VIP, consider bringing items to have signed to try and lengthen your m&g. Dont bring a sharpie though... the security guy took my friends sharpie.... but Chris had his own so it was no problem.Hope this review helps!

Attended a Beer fest here. Was great. Amazing music and atmosphere. The. Bathrooms were great too!!

We had a large party that reserved the Foundation Room. Due to remodeling, the sections with the most comfortable seats were denied to our guests. So if you have a large party here, expect comfortable seating for about 10; instead of 30+.

We always have a great time at this venue. Excellent house P.A./and lighting. Weve been here for several shows over the last 4 years. Staff has always been professional in our experience. Resteraunt, bars, security staff have all been awesome.The menu has something for just about any palette. The baby backs, burgers, steaks, and the yard bird are all great choices.Excellent choice of top shelf liquors at the bar in the resteraunt.If youre going to this venue for a show, and the skip the line promo is offered, its worth it. Check out the details... You wont be disappointed.

Nice venue, kind of expensive on the alcohol. Great location with bars and restaurants right there. Although the floor seemed small, there is a nice balcony. Coat check in the lobby with merch available.

Went for Fat Tuesday. Great service and atmosphere, lots of unique artwork. But the food was mediocre and they serve the worlds nastiest bread pudding. The bread and the sauces on top are horrible.

Delicious food and quality cocktails! Servers are busy, but always helpful.

It was allot of fun. Dinner was great. The concert was great. The friends were great too.

Drinks were pricey. People were nice. Help was lacking collective bargaining?

Great venue. Have seen many shows here. Always look forward to it.

This place is a great location for concert viewing. The only downside is that it isnt as open as I would prefer, so you have to get right into it to see the performance. Although the balcony seats are fantastic for the right show!

The 5-star is for Leah, our tour guide and all the fantastic folk artwork. Can’t say enough about that. There were no concerts scheduled so when we asked if we could see the venue — WOW! Backstage, green rooms, on stage, artwork, stories, private rooms, balcony over the street. That was an hour well spent. As a restaurant - everyone has an opinion and your dining experience is going to be influenced by the company you keep and the fun you make. If you’ve got an open evening and you’re hanging out - give this one a try

Nice atmosphere & good live music & beer

Nice intimate place for a concert. Great sound and vibe.

Great venue without really a bad view in it. Staff was very helpful as well. Overall a great time.

Ive been going to the #HOB for Rock Shows Since 2003 & Every Single Time was a 5 Star Experience! The Staff Is & Has Always Been My Favorite of the Cleveland Venues & A.F.I. The Blood Tour Cemented That Feeling!

Great place. Cannot wait to come back!

Nice venue for a concert. Its not that big so you have a good view of the stage from about anywhere, downstairs or up. Drink prices are on par with other concert venues, so dont expect any good deals there.

Awesome venue, great place to see some big bands up close!

I havent eaten there yet, but I hear that the food is excellent! The reason why I like this place is because I work next door at Mables B.B.Q. so I am frequently associating with their staff and they are the greatest people that you could meet. Plus they have some great concerts there as well!

You definitely want to check out the House of Blues in Cleveland Ohio the last time I went here it was absolutely fabulous the first time I went to the House of Blues was in New Orleans and I also attended one in Myrtle Beach they simply do a fantastic job if you ever want to get together and have a good time this is certainly one of the places to do it.

Love the venue! Great size and awesome service.

Probably one of the best shows Ive been to in a long time. I absolutely love that some big name EDM artists like Excision play here! Cant wait to see the next show!

It was clean and pretty big. I got to see Oliver Tree too

Honestly, 5 dollars for a coat check (only one per hanger) is so ridiculous. Also the ticket fees. Big sigh. But Ill return for what I think is a worthy band (in this case JJ Gray and Mofro).

Cool venue. They allow a LOT of people on the floor. That makes it hard to see the show and it is impossible to move. A can of beer is $11. Otherwise, it was very nice.

Great venue. Cleanest restrooms Ive ever been to at a concert. The food and drinks were a bit pricey, but the food was totally worth it. (Please try the BBQ sliders people!) Great sound quality even in the balcony. Parking nearby was expensive.

One of my favorite small venues to see live rock concerts

The sound and show were both great. I just wish the upgraded seats werent insanely priced. Just a thought: I would have upgraded to a box if it came with bottle service, comp snacks or something other than just the soft chairs. I had a blast with GA Floor tickets though.

Loved this venue! They had a great selection of liquor and I love the set up! This is definitely a great venue to experience a concert at

The Bathroom need much updated. Could not even wash my hands with warm water. Water ice cold. Not what you want to expect in winter. Can smell sewer in bathroom. Concert 5 stars.

Ok so Im giving the concert venue 5 stars. Seeing Rob Zombie was AMAZING!!!! Great show!! Its a very intimate venue that gets you very up close with the artist. Loved it!!!******Now for the restaurant*****The service was a little slow. Once our server showed up she was very pleasant and bubbly. I think no one told her we were there. She gets 5 stars.Our appetizer was the margherita style flatbread. It was light and fresh. My wife had the Cajun chicken pasta which was flavorful and tasty. I had the jambalaya. Unfortunately it was a let down. Not much flavor or spice. The rice was slightly undercooked. As someone who has traveled to Louisiana extensively, I know my jambalaya. Dont waste your time. The bourbon bread pudding desert was fantastic!!All in all, go for the music shows. Eat some where else though. Your wallet and you taste buds will thank you.

Restaurant was fun - cool surroundings and great food. Loved the happy hour specials!
