For starters, it's a small place. You pay a 5 to10 dollar cover at the door, and then you'll notice the bar area, which has a very homey "corner bar" feel to it, and then the main stage, which is small yet surprisingly spacious. It's pretty easy to get a good view of the stage most anywhere you sit. The girls work the floor aggressively, and will sit down with you and size you up, as they do most places. However here, they settle in so fast it almost feels like a pressure sales tactic at a used car lot. That's a turnoff, but you act distant enough they'll get up and move to the next table. The women themselves are fairly decent looking, most all of them are average at best, a couple maybe above. Private dances are 10 bucks, and well, let's just say depending on the girl, you get more than your money's worth. The drinks cost 4-6 dollars, and they serve beer and liquor both. Most nights I go, I'll spend between 30-50 bucks and leave having had a good strip club experience on the cheap. Is it Christie's or the Hustler? Heck no, but the Brass Pole is fun on a budget, and much better instead of going to Bugsy's in downtown Elyria.

This is the only jazz bar I've been to so maybe what I'm about to say is typical for jazz clubs but the only thing I really dislike about coming here is that the audience tends to chit chat the entire time. I find it incredibly rude, not only for those around that came here for a gr at show but so rude to the performers.

The bar service was friendly and efficient. The waitress downstairs was attentive. It was clean, cozy, and a good venue for an intimate setting for jazz and other performances. My husband, John, enjoyed a burger, which was yummy, and I had a gluten-free beef dish with twice-washed fries and squash. We had sauerkraut balls that were delicious.

I was taking a break sitting next to my husband trying to see if I wanted to put anymore money in that machine. This woman made me so uncomfortable walking around me. Even after I told her how rude she was she didn't stop asking me was I still playing. My husband got upset and of course it turned into a disagreement because he said I was letting her intimidate me because I was ready to go. I don't like conflict and was ready to go. People these days have issues and she felt I was messing with her money because she had hit on that machine a couple days before, for a sizable amount. Don't worry I won't be coming back.

This is the most positive, diverse, and loving space you will find in the region. You never know what you will see on stage, and the people who put on these shows -- from the production team and dancers to the sound team and venue staff -- are all highly engaged and professional while still appearing to enjoy what they are doing. The crowds are always super fun and having a blast. Just another wonderful art and community experience in the underrated CLE!

It's almost Latinx Heritage Month and I want to shoutout the lovely and wonderful LeFemme Mystique!…read moreI honestly can't believe I haven't reviewed this artistic gem sooner. Bella, the owner and Burlesque Queen of Cleveland, is a true visionary that energizes Ohio with her brilliantly curated programs, events and festivals. She believes in restoring the art of burlesque into Cleveland as it once was in its vintage heyday. All her troupes performances are super fun, engaging and classy, blending the art of burlesque into a beautiful evening out. While they don't have any performances right now due to the pandemic, this is a fabulous and inclusive business owned by a completely rad woman. You can always count on a LeFemme event to be a glamorous and cool night out!

I didn't realize that the theatre itself is inside the massive 78th street studios, which houses galleries, the 3rd Fridays art/gallery event, boutique shops from local businesses, and more. The theatre is on the 2nd floor of the 78th street studios. As I entered, I was lost and the random people that I asked couldn't help which was frustrating at best. I then ran into someone who was looking for the theatre like myself so we helped each other find it. Eventually, we saw signs leading us to the theatre and arrived with a minute or so to spare before the show started. The theatre itself is small and intimate. There is a stage up in the front-center plus a sound booth behind the stage. I enjoyed the play Altar Boyz but some parts were a bit offensive to the Christian religion but I suppose that was the point of the play. The actors, which were all male, did a great job. I can certainly see myself coming back here to watch another play. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 3/365 total reviews in 2025 - 784 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 January 2025

I signed up for their email list and was alerted to this quirky play called The Bigfoot Letters. Here are the details "when an Ohio woman accidentally hits Bigfoot with her pick-up truck and decides to raise its orphaned baby, her life is forever changed". A friend and I went on a Saturday night and it was cool to see that a wedding reception was happening in another part of the building. To get to the theatre we had to walk past some of the cool/unique art on the walls. Inside the threatre it's pretty toasty so I would not recommend wearing anything warm or you will definitely be sweating. They have some popcorn and drinks for purchase if you are so inclined. Seating is first come first serve, but we had no problem finding a good spot about 15-20 minutes before the show started. Tickets are also reasonably priced at $12, but it looks like other shows are $18. The show itself was not Playhouse Square quality, but's it's good entertaining community theatre and something different to do on a weekend. There were some good scenes and I think the actors were cast appropriately. One of the best things were the reactions from the audience. There were a couple of people who kept having loud bursts of laughter and that was funnier that what happened in the show. Next up is this musical parody of Silence of the Lambs that involves singing sheep! Ha, I think it sounds like a good time! I would recommend a visit to Blank Canvas Theatre. ***Update Silence! the musical was really good! Just like the movie but hilarious and crude, had everyone in laughs!
