Kudos to the team at Goodnight John Boy! The move to the river front is awesome! Your support of the Parrothead 5K on Saturday July 18 was awesome! You opened your doors to the runners who needed a bio break before and after the run and for supporters. Your barkeeps did a great job moving the line for the runners to get their coveted "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" after race beverage/cocktail. Well done! The inside is as awesome as the old location with the added benefit of awesome river view! Can't wait to return with friends again and wait in the 35+ line. Hahaha. read more

Shayla the bartender is the best!!! She was attentive and just overall a great time! Anyone thinking about going to this bar - GO!

Attended the VIP soft launch for the opening of good night John boy I do love the new location is a lot more spacious. I feel like the old location was very small and was always very crowded in this one we could actually dance. The drinks were very yummy. I had the shaken lemonade drink. The music is their regular 70s 80s music we had heard about their happy meals and we were looking to purchase them, but they let us know that you can't purchase them and you just have to be there when they hand them out which was a disappointment :( read more

Fun destination in the Flats! I've been here many times during the day and night. I dropped in last night for ILTHY Bob Ross collection release. It was a fun night! This bar has a fun retro and nostalgic flair. There's a camper on the patio, old funky wallpaper inside, old furniture, and decor. This decor is combined with more modern with backlighted bar and fun light-up dance floor. The latter looks amazing in pictures! The place is pretty spacious but gets packed to the brim on weekends. There's a spacious patio where you can people watch and enjoy the outdoors. The bar is especially fun to visit for daytime summer fun and evening dancing. I have to mention that their bouncer is one of the most respectful around Cleveland. He was super polite and friendly. Most experiences in Cleveland aren't as positive. Huge kudos! I haven't had food at this place. I have had some basic mixed drinks (like vodka + crab). Nothing particularly stood out to me as - oh wow, I have to have this menu item. Just the basics. I'd recommend visiting this bar at nighttime when it's most vibrant and fun. There's also a lot of other fun places in the area, so make a night out of it! I'll be back in a few weeks! read more

We had VIP for our Bachelor and Bachelorette party here, our server was very friendly and accommodating she had a amazing personality, there were security guards posted to keep random people from entering our section a few times, a great time was had by my guests. The music selection could have been better a lot of songs were repeated thru the night, ample room to dance in our Dj section, cute little light up dance floor the couches could be better looking for the price but all and all a good time was had. read more

Great music and cool vibes makes this a must see while visit Cleveland. Perfect spot for a large group to dance the night away.

I'm at an age where I like when bars are quiet and not packed with people (#old), so it's great that we got to check out Good Night John Boy on a Saturday afternoon with only a few other visitors. The space is fun and there's lots to see - the bartender described it as Studio 54 in your grandma's basement, which is spot on. The retro couches and memorabilia next to a giant disco ball and lighted floor plus the Farrah Fawcett wall make for a fun atmosphere. The drinks are also appropriately retro, including all sizes of Miller High Life offered including a 40. I went with the mood ring martini, which comes with a random puff of cotton candy that is mixed in, turning your drink one of six colors to show your "mood." Mine was pink and the glitter is so fun. At $17 I definitely don't need to try it again, but it was fun to experience. The bartender was very friendly and chatted with us and made us feel welcome. She said they get super packed, like shoulder to shoulder with a line out the door packed, so if that's your jam and you're looking to dance, add Good Night John Boy to your list. read more

Spacious and well-decorated inside. I liked listening to the music from the upstairs bar and the staff were really friendly even while busy. Makayla was the best bartender and our drinks tasted great (: read more

Great music and the inside is such a vibe. the bar tender Mikayla was so friendly had great recommendations she'sthe best!!

If you like to dance with loud music and a club atmosphere, this is the place for you. I visited during a charity bar crawl with friends. My favorite thing about Good Night John Boy is, not only the cool dance floor, but the fact that they serve 40oz beers, glass bottle and all! A little nostalgia for us eighties babies. The bartenders are always fun and professional, they do a great job. Always a fun night! read more

I have been to Three Good Night John Boys: Cleveland, St. Petersburg, and Delray. One thing I hate most is that the DJs only pay 1-2:30 minutes of each song. Not the entire song. Do they think we have a short attention span? The music should be the longer versions--the DJs should not be so antsy to mix. Play the entire song. read more

I came to Good Night John Boy while hopping around the flats. I ordered a vodka redbull and was charged $20! After paying, I asked the bartender if she poured me a double (which I would be fine paying $20 for a double shot and redbull), she informed me that it was only a single shot of Tito's and a redbull pour....I am a bartender and for a shot of Tito's at my bar we charge $6 for a single and $12 for a double. She informed me that they charge $12 for the single shot of Tito's and $5 for the pour of redbull separately. I later checked their menu and it shows that they only charge $4 for a FULL Red Bull and I was given a combined mixture of 2 that had been sitting out for who knows how long. I love the vibes here and have had great times at this bar in the past but I am reluctant to return after these steep charges and being up charged for no reason in general. I understand that a night out can be expensive...but this is a bit absurd. Long story short, do not waste your money on a vodka redbull here! Go for a fun cocktail on their menu that is cheaper and probably better tasting. read more

We keep going back here because we can't get enough. It's always an interesting blast. Love this Groovy bar and our bartender Jacob! Thank you for the great service Jacob!! read more

Decent downtown bar. Bouncers are pretty rude and the bar is past shoulder to shoulder. Music was above average. If you like sardined bars it's a good one for you but it's a little too tight. read more

I like how consistent this place is. It is a 70s themed bar/dance club that plays hits from then and now. The bouncers are fair and the bartenders keep drinks flowing. Prices for drinks are $8-15. The dance floor lights up and everyone is there to dance! This place is for ALL ages, from 21-81. read more

Great bar! Great service from the bartenders. Wear your dancing shoes for music across the decades read more

Good Night John Boy - Ramsey is the best!!! - Bars Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Good Night John Boy is FUN. My friend and I were grabbing dinner nearby and we heard music blaring, and naturally were enticed. This is a popular place, and we decided to pop in and check it out before the mad rush of the late Saturday night crowd came in (if you come here later in the evening, there almost certainly will be a line outside to get in). Cleveland is so, so void on having places we can go to dance. Good Night John Boy has a fun Studio 54 inspired vibe with a light-up dance floor, a disco ball and a huge portrait of Farrah Fawcett. We just ordered one drink and danced. The DJ was great, everyone on the dance floor was really into it, and we decided we want to get dressed up in our best sequins and come back another time. Coming in the early evening was the right move for us as gals who just wanted to have fun but not get drunk with the late night crowd. I'm really excited to come back! read more

To start ive been looking for a good dance club around cleveland that will play the retro older music. This place is it. Went there for first time this past Saturday and it really brought back memories of the great club days of the 80s and 90s. Awesome DJ mixes. Great music was played, some songs i havent heard in ages was mixed in. I was shocked. Can't wait to get down there again. We had a blast. read more

eric was so nice! he was so helpful and kind! slay! we love goodnight john boy! i can't wait for the new location!

Huge thanks to Albana for hooking me up with a table -- the whole night was a blast from start to finish! The process was smooth, professional, and they really made sure everything was taken care of. From bottle service to the prime spot, it was everything you'd want for a great night out in Cleveland read more

Fantastic place for all ages to dance and let loose. Tons of old hits from the past are played and there are two large bars to keep lines sorter. Outdoor and indoor standing and seating areas. Huge dance floor next to DJ. I want to commend one of the workers- wearing a gangster costume tonight- who immediately jumped into action and got me some sugary liquid when I told him my blood sugar was low. I really appreciate your quick action to help me get back on the dance floor. It means a lot! read more

Came here on a Sunday night for an impromptu birthday celebration before my daughter returned to California. Not sure why the low reviews but we had an amazing time. Everyone was really friendly. We were able to find a seat right by the dance floor and had so much fun dancing our asses off. We even made some new friends. It's such a cool place and the vibe was great. I like that it's a mixture of age ranges and the music is disco. It's like a 70's throw back. My only complaint is the dance floor is a bit sticky and I sat in a chair that someone must've spilled a drink on. Other than that super cool decor and so much fun. I asked the dj to do a shout out to my daughter as we were celebrating her dirty 30. He did right away. So nice. The drinks aren't super strong but I'm not much of a drinker anyway. My sisters and I decided we will definitely be going back. read more

Bunch of crooks. As a Cleveland local, I get roped into coming here. On separate occasions, they've added more to their tip than I signed off for, and swiped my card multiple times for the same order. Owners also couldn't care less about feedback. Ice machine has mold! read more

For some reason I was told they stopped serving cocktails at 10pm on a Saturday. Maybe you should update your website with this information.

We went here on a Thursday evening, and we had such a blast!!! Great vibes, great music and even better drinks !! our bartender cara (hopefully spelled right ) was such a sweetheart and friendly read more

I'll never return. Worst drink I've ever had for $20. All the bartenders were VERY VERY rude. The drink was horrible! I've never had worse service. The place, not fun at all. read more

Fun place. Not particularly high quality though. You know what you're getting. Good music for dancing.

So much fun! We were here for a convention and ended it with a night of dancing! Great drinks...a little pricey and awesome music! DJ David kept us on the dance floor all night! I loved the atmosphere and the mix of a wide age range. They had the best bathroom system I've ever seen in a club....well done management! If you're in Cleveland for a weekend make sure to get your groove on here! read more

Based on their website and socials, I was really looking forward to going here to celebrate my recent engagement with friends. When we showed up the place was so packed you could barely get to the bar and the dance floor was more like people shimmying in place shoulder to shoulder. And very sticky! I ordered two double rum & cokes and the total was $50 (!!). After my fiancé and I tasted our drinks we were pretty much certain the bartender forgot to put even a single shot in (we aren't big drinkers and this was our first stop of the night, so there isn't much chance we were just immune to the alcohol content). I took our drinks back up to the bar and politely asked a different bartender if there was anything he could do. He very rudely replied that he didn't make the drinks, he wasn't going to taste the drinks to see if I was telling the truth, and he could remake the drinks if I was wanted to pay another $50. No thanks! I waited for our initial bartender and asked if there was any possibility the alcohol could have been left out. She promptly replied, "No. I remember making these drinks. Each has a double shot." I explained that we aren't big drinkers and never get double shots but that our friend's rum & coke with a single shot was much stiffer than ours and that at $25 a pop, I figured it was worth asking about. Especially since we were celebrating our engagement! After ending with, "I don't normally complain-" she cut in with, "but you ARE" and rolled her eyes. She did end up pouring us each double shots in separate cups to add ourselves but was visibly pissed at us, verbally demeaning, and just rude overall. And to be fair, I get it! I'm sure they get shit all the time from drunk people trying to get free drinks. But we were sober, cheery, honest, and so passive/apologetic about having to ask about our drinks in the first place. It ruined our time there and after we finished our drinks we promptly left and will not be returning. read more

As far as "clubs" go, this is a spot anyone can have fun at. The variety of music, the vibe, and clean bathrooms are top tier.

In town visiting and was refused a drink because bartender thought I was too drunk(I was 2 drinks deep). Said he'll just get me a water and ruined the night. read more

Jillian is amazing!!! Love her constant good vibes, dance moves, and spicy margs :) Would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Great music! Danced all night long. Drinks in disco balls; what fun. Go early or you'll get stuck in a line!

Willie Williams is the best bouncer in CLE! He's super attentive and makes sure everyone is safe while partying! Will be back for sure.

It's ok. We reserved a table for 10 people for a 40th birthday. This place was recommended so we gave it a try. We arrived at around 9:30-early for a Saturday night-and the place was already jammed with children. When I say children, I mean people under 25 who have no etiquette. We did walk around the line to go in, but our table wasn't ready. There were a few tables and the children were hanging all over them with their single drinks. Staff had to move the squatters so we could resume with our bottle service. The reservation was for 10. We were given the smallest seating area. We ordered a few bottles and a case of beer but we would have ordered more had we been seated in one of the other two more appropriate table spaces. Our server was very good, but it was just too crowded. The crowd was gross. I was reminded again that I'm a genX-er who had no business in a place like this. Like I said, it was ok. read more

Awesome atmosphere and good drinks. The scenery away too cool. Me and my friends had a great time we will be back

Willie Williams - the bouncer really held it down! Made sure everyone and their mama was safe!

This place used to be AMAZING. I just wish they kept the old school music. Why ruin the theme with this generational new music? Don't fix something when it was never broken. Keep the 70s-80s music read more

Worst club in Cleveland. I paid over $30 for two drinks again, I asked for a "tequila soda" both times. Music is like a middle school party in 2015, cute in the rarest of moments. Staff was nice but do not give a fuck about your requests read more
