WELCOME TO CLEVELAND!
Cleveland has several museums, popular shopping malls, and distinctive cultural options for theater, music and dance. Browns football and Guardians baseball have cult followings and draw thousands of travelers each year to see a home game. Some of the city’s best nightlife and entertainment options are found in the historic Warehouse District and on Cleveland’s E. 4th Street. In each area there are numerous bars, pubs, and clubs, and a wide selection of dining options.
Award winning restaurants can be found in both districts, including Chef Jonathan Sawyer’s The Greenhouse tavern and Noodle Cat. The Flats of Cleveland was once a thriving entertainment district but is currently under redevelopment. You can find a few popular bars around the Flats and attractions like the Greater Cleveland Aquarium. Watersport rentals are offered in this district during the summer for access along the Cuyahoga River, and there are river and lake cruises that begin here.
