Cleveland gay clubs

If you want the biggest LGBTQ+ energy, come in June for Pride, but book early and expect higher prices. The city’s down-home community bars favor craft beer by the pint, and Cleveland has no shortage of upscale joints with international cuisine and bottle service. Architecture enthusiasts will dig the Hall of Fame’s geometric design (by architect I. M. Pei), which reflects rock and roll’s frenetic energy.

Twist Social Club is good for strong music nights and an indoor-outdoor setup when weather cooperates. Now, it’s a central part of the blossoming LGBTQ community that’s growing around the Lakewood neighborhood of Cleveland. Studio West 117 packs in drag brunch, Latin nights, and a rooftop patio. It offers a range of events, including dance nights, drag shows, and themed parties.

Cocktails has Karaoke on Wednesdays and will also have potluck dinners on Sundays! They have trivia nights, drag shows, leather events, live music, and more. That being said, Cocktails has been around for years and many will tell you that it’s the best Gay Bar in Cleveland!

You probably shouldn’t be shocked that a place called Vibe Bar and Patio cares greatly about its vibe.

Take an easy day trip west of Cleveland to an amusement park for more family-friendly—and date-friendly!—thrills. Cleveland has as many attractions as it has nicknames, so come as you are!

In this city by the lake, every moment is an invitation to explore, to celebrate, and to be a part of something truly special. For indoor and outdoor orchestral performances, visit Severance Hall in the University Circle, right near the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

No matter who you are, you’re welcome at Vibe and you’re gonna have a good time. It's a great place to enjoy a night out with friends in a lively and inclusive atmosphere.
