About This Spot

Stepping into crobar on St Clair Avenue feels like slipping into a well-worn secret, a spot where the city’s pulse softens into the steady beat of shared rhythms and friendly faces. It’s a dance haven wrapped in the unpretentious charm of an old corner bar—a place where the energy hums just beneath the surface, ready to lift you up without demanding your full attention until you’re ready to give in.

The atmosphere is invitingly casual yet charged with the kind of vibrant electricity that draws a diverse crowd—from night owls seeking a lively dancefloor to friends gathering for a relaxed, unhurried evening. The spacious patio, both open and covered, offers a quiet contrast to the buzz inside, making crobar a place that invites lingering whether you’re there to lose yourself in music or just quietly savor a late-night conversation.

The music anchors the experience, with a lineup that brings in exciting DJs from Cleveland and beyond, filling the room with top-tier beats and an open invitation to move. The dancefloor, lit by an understated LED backdrop, feels alive yet grounded—a space where people come not just to dance but to connect, escape routine, and find community in the shared soundtrack of the night.

Beyond the music, the bar’s approachable vibe extends through its details: friendly bartenders who know their neighbors, a pool table for casual play, and bar food that complements the easygoing mood rather than overshadowing it. Here, the drinks flow with the same warm spirit that guides every visit—a balancing act of familiar comfort and unexpected moments.

crobar isn’t just a place to lean on the bar; it’s a space that quietly champions connection and inclusivity, where the spectrum of identity and style weaves together without the need for labels. Its vibe encourages you to be yourself—whether that means throwing shapes under the LEDs, chatting on the patio, or simply soaking in the sense of belonging that lingers long after the music fades.

Best and most consistently fun dancey club I’ve found in Cleveland, and honestly competes well with bigger venues in bigger cities. They bring in a lott of killer djs, both local to Cleveland and from all over the world, and they host a variety of cool local events that aren’t just the house djs that initially brought me in. Very fun, pretty bisexual vibe. It’s not explicitly a queer club, but my pals and I think of it as a bi bar and love it for that. They’re doing something so right here… the energy every time I’ve been has just been so playful and fun, and I always meet great people here. I met one of my best friends dancing here a few years ago and am writing this review with heartfelt appreciation from Movement weekend with that friend in Detroit now. I love this place. Great service with sweet, caring staff who really set the tone for the place. They also have good non-alcoholic options. Thanks for keeping a water station near the bar, absolutely crucial harm reduction/safely measure that all bars should be required to have. Thanks for all the obvious love and care you put into making this spot so rad. I’m excited to dance here again soon

If you’re looking to be mind melted by top tier DJs, you will find it here. If you’re looking for a sense of camaraderie, you will find it here. If you want an escape from everyday society, you will find it here. Many of my best nights have been spent on this dancefloor. Thank you for providing a safe space for the weirdos. Thank you for building community. Cleveland needed Crobar.

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.

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.
