Chirping Crickets On A Friday Night

I got dressed up and ready to go out and enjoy the nightlife of Cleveland. I stopped by on Friday night because usually Friday night in other cities is a good night to go out and socialize. Well not so at the Leather Stallion Saloon! There were only three people in there - another patron, myself, and the bartender...And this was at 12:30! I know Cleveland pales in comparison to Los Angeles, New York City, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago (should I go on?) in terms of night life, but come on...One other person in the bar? That was awful! I should have taken the advice of a guy I met online and gone elsewhere. I was stuck in the memory I had of the place from my last visit in 2002. Always listen to the locals! Wont be back there anytime soon.

it's like someone's house...

great outdoor patio for the summer. Inside... a little scary, but kind of seedy and fun.


geezer pleezers

most of men are old. some gray hairs. not for 20 or 30s men but if you like old men its ok i guess. its a nice bar with a nice patio in summer but in the middle of the week its as dead as a funeral home. its called leather stallion but it should be the bear cave or the muscle shop or sometihn like that cause its really not leather unles they have a special bar nite.

patio fun

I have always liked the LSS. It is a real mans bar older crowd I have never had my car broken into or felt unsafe leaving or going to the bar.this is a Beer drinkers bar. Patio is really nice and packed on sundays.The only thing I don't like about it is on sundays you cannot move to get to the bathroom or bar and people won't move out of the way even when you say excuse me.I had to scream make a hole for people to move and you also get groped like fuck too,not everyone wants to be touched like that.It's a silverdaddies,bears,chubs.sometimes leathermen bar.A blue collar type bar too.This is not for the yuppies, twinks, bounce or twist crowd.

leather not

why anyone calls this a leather bar is unknown to me. the men are not cruisy or butch usually. worst of all the street out front is not always welcoming. homeless looking men and rough blue collar types hang out at bus stops which can be an unsettling thing. will my car be vandalized. will i be jumped walking down st clair? security would be a good thing. i gave 2 stars because it is a roomy bar with a nice back patio and one bartender is really cute. nothing much else to recommend it.
