Guide to Cleveland
As a public service to all of you folks out there coming to Cleveland
for any event involving Cleveland State (which includes games, concerts,
etc.), I have decided to fill you in on what's going on in Cleveland.
No, I'm not getting a kickback from the Cleveland Visitor's Bureau
on this one, and these are my opinions, unbiased and not sponsored by
any of the establishments on this page.
So with that said.. Here we go!

Where to Eat, Drink and Shop
Tower City Center
|
Tower City is pretty much where you will find most of your regular
fast-food spots, such as McDonald's, Taco Bell,
and KFC. Also, Tower City has countless stores, including
the Champs Sports. Sadly for you HL faithful, you won't find any
of your gear in there.
Plus, there is a multi-plex theater for you to catch a flick
during breaks in the tournament. Here
are the movies playing and showtimes.

The Flats
|
While the Flats has dwindled down to a few bars as of late,
there is still some fun to be had. The better eating establishments
include Dick's Last Resort (if you have no sense of humor,
avoid!) Joe's Crab Shack (for some good seafood and fruity
drinks), BW-3 (the best wings in town and a good sports
bar environment) and Panini's (one of several locations.
Also on E. 9th St. and W. 6th St. in the Warehouse District).
For bars, there are Jimmy's, Beach Club (pretty
good tunes and 19 and over for the underaged conference folks)
and River's Edge. For those of you heading into town on
Friday, River's Edge has their Happy Hour with $2.50 24-oz. drafts.
Plus, on the West Bank, there's the Power House, which
has a huge game room and a T.G.I. Friday's, plus across
the parking lot is Jillian's, for those of you with a pool
jones. |
Warehouse District
|
This has become the party spot. The Velvet Dog is my
personal favorite. Plus, there is Blind Pig, Spy Bar,
and Groovee Little Night Club, to name a few. There is
a Panini's on the street as well. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Sixth
Street Market is open on Saturday for breakfast. |
By the CSU Convocation Center
|
The Rascal House will probably be the first thing you see.
Plenty of food, but I wasn't sure about the drinks, though. That's
reserved for the bar in the back, Peabody's, which, sadly
to say, is usually booked with concerts on Fridays and Saturdays. Best
Steak and Gyro is on Euclid, but it's an acquired taste. About
4-5 block away from the Convo on E. 18th St., there's Becky's.
It's a decent joint, with reasonably-priced drinks and some pretty
good food. Also, as it turns out, I missed a couple of spots.
There's Moe's, a block from the corner of E. 17th St. and
Chester Ave., and Celebrities, which is a sports bar
in the Comfort Inn across the street from the Convocation Center. Finally, if you happen to be in town for a game during the week when school is in session, be sure to stop by the CSU location of Panini's.
