Drag queens and twinks. The lowdown: some straight bar owners learned of the closing of Cleveland's largest gay dance club- The Grid- and decided to seize the opportunity to cash in by offering gay people a new place. Reality: these owners rely on gay stereotypes to tell them what gay people want. So the new bar offers drag shows, twink strippers, etc. Located on a busy street and a convenient location, but parking is a big problem. Not located in Cleveland, but in Lakewood, and Lakewood cops are notorious for busting drivers for DUI on weekends. Also, strangely, located across the street from a punk rock bar. I've never heard of any trouble, but it does not seem like a hospitable site for a bar full of flamers. As for former Grid employees supervising the bar, there are many reasons why the Grid closed, some of which are the fault of the employees, so putting these same folks in charge of a new gay venue does not bode well for Bottoms Up.
Dump
This place is a dump!! The Grid (Cleveland's largest gay dance club)closed and this straight place turns gay overnight with no remodeling. The parking is terrible and the scene is not any better!
