I was in on a night that a band was not present. The bar has a good vibe to it. Its very personalized with writing everywhere, from walls to the bathroom. Thats also a great way to advertise. The bartender was out of a few of the micro brews. No fault of her own, i just imagine it was a busy weekend. Overall, I had a good relaxed time, and would revisit.

If you like to see a gritty show in a gritty place, then this is the place. Really really run down and exactly what we were looking for.

Definitely one of my most favorite places to go. My boyfriend introduced me when we first started dating. Hes been going for years! Great people to talk to and great shows

Tonight, I went to a friendly Halloween concert/party, complete with politeness all around that could potentially be more friendly with others, could I have gone to them then. However, as a result of having been there, about what we conversed may carry to others in our respective friend groups! The value at this $0 cover show still increases, just by attending! The bartenders were hospitable, the performers were exuberant, and even informal disputes were dissolved in an air of equality (I whiffed some to others, myself). Since I left, I feel better knowing I can choose my mode of communication; I prefer appropriately.

The name is ironic. The place is anything but classy, in the best possible way. Super cool bar and concert venue. Punk, rock, metal, and extreme, this is the place!

Nice little punk club. Nothing fancy--just a neighborhood joint with a friendly staff, cheap beers, a great jukebox, and a small room for seeing bands up close. Free parking lot in back that no one seems to know about.

I’m fine with it being a dive bar and even okay with the bathrooms but the bartenders are awful, you will stand at the bar for 20 minutes and get no service, bar was sticky and gross and needed to be wiped down. Get friendly attentive bartenders that aren’t hipsters that think they’re above you.

A solid rock club with good prices on drinks and cover.

Reminds us of our old local dive bar. Cheap booze and loud music and lots of corners too get lost in. We came back the next day for the amateur wrestling... All in all a real good time.

Really cool place with great sound. Enjoying live music here is great. Used to be a skateboard ramp in the show area which is sadly (though understandably) no longer present, but the bar maintains a good punk-rock vibe while still being inviting.

Review №20

Actually really dig this venue. I like how personal it is and the overall vibe. It is a small venue. But you get to pretty much hang out with the artists which makes for an overall enjoyable experience.There is seating if you wish to sit. The only drawback is its attached/in the next room of a bar. That LOUDLY played their music with the connecting doors open. Which is disrespectful to the artists and the patrons.

Ive been here many times. Its an awesome place to see underground music and its a pretty wide spectrum. In Lakewood so parking is a pain. The earlier you get to the show the more likely you will find a parking spot quite possibly next to the front door. If you arrive late. Be prepared to search for a parking spot.

The venue is pretty dirty and poorly maintained but they usually have decent shows. I would recommend going to the bathroom before you go, though, since their bathrooms are gross.

I went here for a Spooky Flea. The tables were not laid out very well in relation to one another and the basement was so terribly hot. At least I could leave and go up for air. The poor artists stuck in the basement. And I dont recall seeing even one fan. :-/

Best dive in Cleveland. During any visit you can grab an inexpensive drink and sit back and people watch. Regardless of the bartender you will get good service.

Good place to see a show. Crowds vary, as does the talent of the acts that pop in. There is a good variety of alcoholic beverages to choose from and usually a good special or two. Service usually great, occasionally average or below.

Four stars for the cheap booze. Minus two stars for the terrible sound mixing. Im a 36 year old man who values his hearing, so I dont value 130db blasted in my face. I just cant go and expect to keep hearing above 15k.

Review №76

This bar has tons of character. Theres two sides; bar side and the performance side. The bar side has a long bar on the east, some tables on the west. The door to the performance space is on the west wall as well.Theres lots of adult beverage options from 24oz cans of Old English 800 to craft beers in bottles and on tap. Plus, theres a 40oz of the month!The ambience is definitely reminiscent of a dingy hard-core, punk bar. Dingy but not gross. The bathrooms were to my happy surprise really good for this type of bar.Food options are pretty lame. The have bags of chips, Pleather which is a vegan jerky product, and 3 varieties of Aladdins pies that the bar tender will nuke for you to make it warm.NOTE: They do not have Mexican food.In the performance space theres a low stage at the south of the room. Tucked away in the Nw corner is the sound station.I saw Conan and I thought sound was really good, I was definitely impressed.Um, did I mention that theres a 5 tall quarter pipe and a long semi-bowl for skating in there too? The ramps are in great condition. The semi-bowl has actual concrete coping on it. I was disappointed that I didnt bring my wood to shred on them.I recommend the place if you have a similar sense of good character as I do.
