Leather Stallion Saloon

(113 Ratings)
Oldest Levi/Leather bar in Ohio

Serving the area since 1970, this casual bar has become a jewel of gay Ohio. The Leather Stallion Saloon offers great food, and fun events and welcomes all, in or out of leather. If you're in town during CLAW, be sure to stop in, as they always have something wild planned!

Ghost Town

No one was there. Weather has been nice but not a place I would make a special trip too. Run down and crappy like most of the gay bays in Cleveland.

Good Drinking Bar

This is a true 'local' bar -the place where everybody knows your name. It's the only downtown gay bar left -- E. 22nd and St Clair--and thankfully off the radar of most the obnoxious queens who patronize the other establishments. The night I was there was a good mix of guys and conversation, the ballgame was on just like a real bar and my friend and I shot some pool without getting leered at and hassled.The bartender was hot and it was just a good relaxing experience. You can tell its the kind of instituional place that's flipping over to the next generation but that's good. If you just want a quiet evening in a gay establishment without the drama to go with it, this is the place.

LSS Picking Up Lately

The Stallion has been picking up lately. The Thirsty Thursdays are particularly good and weekends are OK -- picking up the Mean Bull refugees.

A faded beauty

The oldest gay bar in Cleveland has sunk to its lowest point. Never never never anyone in the bar. A busy night is three or four men plus the bartender. Lots of room. Back patio open in summer (Summer Sundays until Labor Day are the only busy days all year). No leather, no hot guys, no fun. Old men quietly drinking. Thats it. Forget about it. The area is not the best at night so dont park too far away.

ALL HYPE

If run well this bar has potential- a nice layout and patio with outside bar and lots of nooks for hook ups. Aside from calling itself a leather bar this establishment is not leather in any way shape or form. as the reviewer below wrote its vacant most nights and a total waste of time unless you happen to live downtown. the much hyped Sunday nights on the patio are not what they used to be.
