Waterloo Arts is a non-profit in the Waterloo neighborhood committed to economic improvement of the…read moreneighborhood and the local arts. One of the notable initiatives by this organization is Walk All Over Waterloo. It's a monthly initiative that draws a crowd to the neighborhood to explore local arts, eats, and shopping. I attended many Walk All Over Waterloo night, but stopped at the Waterloo Arts for the first time. I enjoyed my time! ARTS: Waterloo Arts is currently hosting Holiday Co-Op featuring local artists. This Co-Op will be running until December 21, 2025. The shopping is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, 12-7 PM. It's a perfect place to shop for the holidays. You'll find ceramics, art, driftwood decor, jewelry, eco dyed fabrics, and a lot more. You'll be able to find very unique gifts unique just like the neighborhood at different price ranges. Definitely do someone of your holiday shopping here. The space also hosts various workshops and events, check their website. BAR: Seasonally there is a bar open occupying the second room of the space. It's very nice considering it's not even a full time hospitality space. Cute table, lots of space, art, and greenery. It was cozy and inviting. The holiday menu was limited but very good. I ordered a mulled wine ($10) and was very pleased with the drink. It was perfectly spiced with orange and hearty spices. It's exactly how I make it, I like to over spice. It was also very hot, which was a huge plus! I wish this mulled wine was a constant option, I'd come here just for it! SERVICE: The service was extremely friendly at the bar and so were the patrons. The bartender asked for my name and had a very pleasant conversation with me. It was evidence that everyone who works at this non-profit is very committed to its mission and are ambassadors of the neighborhood. I was very pleased with the hospitality. I plan to research when the little bar is open, so I can stop by more and support the mission. I love the inviting vibes and mulled wine! It's a must visit to shop your gift list and pause for snacks, drinks. Add Waterloo Arts to your holiday market stop!

First came here in January 2023 for the 10th annual DayGloSho at Waterloo Arts…read more It was a great event and the space was engaging and you can just feel the positivity from the people who own it and the artists who display their art at this location. They shared updates on a lot of the creative businesses in the area, served local pizza and beer from Citizens Pie, Great Lakes and other local places. They had a speaker that works at DayGlo (RPM) and were very engaging with our YP Arts Group, Column & Stripe. Couldn't recommend this place more or the Waterloo Arts district. Truly a Cleveland gem and a positive way for a resurgence of a Cleveland Neighborhood.

We chose nine of about 35 free events, mostly played from the front porches of homes, and we reveled in live originals and covers of psychedelic rock, classic rock, blues, funk, jazz, americana, samba, and even polka, plus several DJs! We saw blues played from a condo balcony! Lots of people, often dancing, sometimes singing along. We missed some reggae, pop punk and post-punk, choral folk, Lilith-fair, "twang", hiphop, rap, soul, space and indie and progressive and goddess rock, and even karaoke. There were plenty of food trucks, restaurants, cafes, bars, and vendors of crafts, souvenirs, and some sidewalk chalk-art. There were facilities and shaded seating here and there. Just an amazing neighborhood music event, nearly annually since 2008, one of at least 75 annual porchfest events around the continent!

Make sure to make reservations if you want to eat somewhere, and if not, the food trucks are out as well. I would definitely recommend this event to anyone! Just bring an umbrella if it rains!
