For the best of Cleveland’s nightlife, dining, and entertainment, stay in its Downtown neighbourhood, located on the shore of Lake Erie. The neighbourhood is not only home to the city’s legendary Progressive Field and FirstEnergy Stadium, and Playhouse Square theatre district, it’s home to its best bars and clubs.
Although Playhouse Square is a renowned theatre destination, Detroit-Shoreway is one to watch when it comes to theatre and the arts. It’s home to the Gordon Square Arts District which features indie theatres and art galleries that will excite creative minds.
Tremont, located across the river from Downtown, is another neighbourhood emerging with an artsy influence. As one of the oldest parts of Cleveland, it is also known for its quaint Victorian tree-lined streets, making it ideal for families and hipsters alike.
Those more interested in the historic and cultural side of the city will feel more at home in University Circle where its museums are all within walking distance of one another. As a student area, it also has a wealth of casual bars and global eateries.
With everything from farm-to-table restaurants and vegan cafes to cocktail bars and pubs, as well as a wealth of breweries and street murals, Ohio City is ideal for the hip and trendy. Located across from Downtown on the opposite bank of the Cuyahoga River, it is within minutes of the city centre action.
If you stay within central Cleveland, you will benefit from its free trolley buses run by the Regional Transit Authority (RTA).
