Editorial Review for Beachland Ballroom and Tavern – by Tim Parnin
The Scene
Local legends Mark Leddy and Cindy Barber founded the Beachland as a high-quality, non-corporate venue to showcase the region's most adventurous, diverse and eclectic bookings. Inside, classic blue-collar beer garnishments mix with modern-day movie posters for a cool effect, but it's the club's layout that's the key to its diversity. There are two main concert rooms, the Ballroom and the Tavern, which allow two shows to fire up simultaneously. The Ballroom is the larger hall, designated for national and local acts that draw ample crowds. The Tavern is a cozier room where watching live music is a bit more personal.
The Draw
Looking for a Creed tribute band or a cheesy rendition of "Mustang Sally"? You won't find it at this dance hall-turned-concert club. What you will find is a multiroom hangout reeking of cool credibility.

the beachland ballroom is cleveland's greatest venue for catching not only the top names in music, but also the up and comers from the indie scene. with eclectic acts such as shonen knife to detroit cobras to paul 'wine' johnson, the beachland is the place in cleveland to catch a show.

Beachland provides EXACTLY what the city needs - inexpensive concerts put on by extremely talented independent musicians in a fabulous venue. The sight lines are great (there no annoying poles to get in your way) and usually the sound quality is better than at other venues in Cleveland (although that's not saying much). Those who haven't been to Beachland for a concert, have not really learned to appreciate what a concert can be!
Pros: Excellent Bookings, Inexpensive, Ambiance
Cons: Location, No Parking
