If you're into drag shows, this is where to go.

If you're in Cleveland, I believe this is the only place to find a drag show right now, either king or queens. I'm not into the drag shows and would prefer to dance, however, the drag shows will take up most of the time you have to dance. Otherwise, the club is alright, a place where most of the young LGBT can go eat, drink, dance, and watch drag.

great place to see a show...

I go to bounce usually on wednesdays and saturdays to see the drag shows, also so on some fridays. Wednesdays are pretty decent nothing to crazy its the night the kings perform. besides the music sucking before and after the show its a pretty decent time. Saturdays are great besides parking... but you get to see a great drag show adn listen to some good music. The bartenders arent very friendly and seem angry if not leaving them some huge tip including if your only getting a beer. The food every time I have went has been very good. The pizza is amazing, also the fried mac'n'cheese is something to try. If you lookin for some where to just have a good time and it a pretty relaxed atmosphere i say this is the place.

Sucks! Bad food!

Besides the drinks being nasty, and the food being bad, the performers can't dance and the bar tenders are not very nice. I will never go back again.

Great place to go

I am a part-time crossdresser and have been to Bounce a few times for the Saturday night Drag shows. The shows were very entertaining. The atmosphere was great and very CD friendly. I would recommend it to any closet CD (like me) who is looking for a place to go out dressed.

I Guess I Would Go

Ok so Bounce is an ok bar. I would sadly say it is the best I have found in all of Cleveland. I feel safe, was not searched for weapons, like the music-mostly-but HATE the drag shows EVERY night! Where do you go if you just want to dance????
