Cocktails Cleveland - Gay bar in Cleveland - 9208 Detroit Ave, USA

Tommy is fantastic! Just landed in town from the good Ole show me state and he took care of me. When the bars around you are closed on your flight landing I would highly recommend this spot for a drink. One quick note is that you've gotta ring a doorbell to get in. I was genuinely confused by that at first tbh

Stop here often. Love the bartenders and crowed. Grill nights are great too. Need more great bars like this in akron and Cleveland.

Laid back, friendly, neighborhood bar. Ring the doorbell to be let in! Once inside, wow, is everyone friendly! Within minutes we knew everyon who walked through the door. Upstairs and downstairs bars, and partially shaded patio.

Quant speakeasy style bar in a quiet part of Cleveland. Two pool tables, a tiny performance stage, half a dozen high tables, and no dance floor create a chill hangout bar without pretentiousness. The smoking patio is equipped with both open and covered areas, and a large heater for chilly Ohio nights. There's also a small fee parking lot and easy street parking.

Very laid back and friendly during the week and if you like crowds it gets pretty busy on Friday and Saturday Nights. They also serve pretty good food on select nights currently it's Spaghetti and meatballs every Friday 5-8 until mid February. The bartenders are super friendly and funny and the drinks are reasonably priced.

Great bar, Joey and Tommy always make the top bar a welcoming experience

Was having a good time until the bar tender decided he was done with touch tunes and turned off the jukebox to play old dirt music after I paid to play my songs. Not to mention lots of songs are filtering out anyway. Probably won’t be back anytime soon :/

Uhhhh I tried to call to see if they had karaoke for our gay (male) friend. A man answered the phone announcing that it was Cocktails, and after i said "do you have karaoke tonight?" And instantly after, the line went silent and i havent been able to get a dial tone since (straight to mailbox not set up message). I asked my wife to call on her own phone and it went through until she spoke, and then she recieved similar treatment to me. I think the bartender blocked us based on our female sounding voices??? Because its a "gay" bar, and maybe that means women and trans men arent welcome??? Thats the only thing i can think of. Really weird. Hopefully our experience is abnormal. But I can't recommend this place based on that.
