crobar: Cleveland Bar Guide

Very nice fun hole in the wall bar, outdoor huge patio with seating covered and not covered. Large dance floor and stage with LED lighted backdrop on stage, pool table, bar food available on patio. Has decent bar seating but lacking liquor( no crown or skye vodka) had plenty of gin and bourbon though. Bar service quick and bar tenders friendly. Over all great place to spend an evening out.

Sat at the bar for 10 minutes while the bartender scrolled through his phone on a seriously dead night and couldn’t get service. There was maybe a total of 8 people in the bar. Came for a dance night and no one was dancing. I left without a drink after being ignored for so long at the bar.

I think this place does a good job of booking talented artists, but some of the cover fees are outrageous. Last time I was there (9-13-25) I was charged $25, which seems a little steep for Cleveland. Dance clubs in major cities like Chicago aren’t charging that much. Will I go back to Crobar? – probably, but I’ll be very selective, as I’m not willing to shell out that much money every weekend.

THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE - on 2 out of the 4 occasions I have been here, I have been drugged by a bartender or patron. Thank god I was with my girlfriend the first time and she was able to help me throw up and leave. Decided to give it another shot since my was DJing last night but had the same exact thing happen to me. Can only imagine who else this has happened to and I pray that they are safe.

All that you would expect for a antique corner bar. Needs some updating but a fun place to get a grove on and hang in a relaxed atmosphere.
