Bounce (Closed Permanently)

ugh... twink central

it's fine... actually a nice place, strong cokctails, but too many twinks running around. I think it may have 18+ night... UGH...

twinks and trouble

I went here twice and never again the drag shows are good and thats why i went as i like drag shows and some friends were doing a show so I went. Over priced beers rude bartenders and young gays that don't know how to act when there drunk or not.People want to start fights and are rude the music totally sucks The police and fire have been there many times as they allow 18 yr. olds in I don't feel safe in this bar it is also right above the projects.There is drugs and riff raff in here too.There is also a cover for a drag show come on not worth it.I went both times in 2007 never again.Union Stations food is over priced for what it is you can get better someplace else.

Bounce/Union Station

I used to really enjoy this bar. Now I refuse to go. Rude staff, actually down right mean! Food is pitiful. Crowd and area is undesirable. Don't waste your time!

Great Night Out

I've been going to Bounce for a couple years now and unlike many people on this site, I don't go every weekend. It would probably get old pretty quickly if I made it a weekly thing. Yes, there is a drag show that sometimes lasts a pretty long time... but that doesn't stop me from dancing. Union cafe and Bounce are essentially the same place, same entrance. You have a couple colleges in the area with one gay club for under 21, so of course the crowd is going to be young on the weekends. Music is loud, staff was great, never a dull moment. I have a lot of fun with friends every time I go, its worth it. Yes, cover charge is the usual $10 for under 21 and I believe $5 if you are over... stop complaining, many clubs today are charging if you are over 21, remember its not just a bar. Area is a little sketchy when you get there, but what place isn't in Cleveland past 11. Its not a place for everyone, but I'd say give it a try if you've never gone.

Better on friday/saturday

Area is iffy, but there were dedicated cops that night. It is primarily a twink spot, I didn't order from the bar, I don't know about the service. Music is reasonably loud, music selection is appropriate for the crowd. The floor is horrendously sticky in the seating area; with spilled soda, or some other substance. The dancing crowd is "closed off" to newcomers/people coming alone, so bring friends if you can. Mixed gay/lesbian (a few straights) crowd. Boys rule early night, lesbian advantage going into the morning. Dancing was stopped at 2:15 (normal clocks read 2:01) NOT a place to meet people, GREAT place to window-shop. Unfortunately this is the best option in town
