One of my really good buddies is having his bachelor part this Saturday. His best-man is having us all go out to dinner, the Cavs game, and then we're hitting some of the bars / nightlife in Cleveland. I'm sure we'll head over to W 6th or East 4th.

My question to the Chatter is: Which area should we go to, and which places out of those two areas do you prefer? Or do you have a better idea?

Also, I'd like to get him something small, but funny. Anyone have any ideas of funny/cool gifts?! I want it to obviously be a "bachelor's" type gift, yet something not TOO stereotypical.

Thanks

Either place downtown cleveland will suck. Downtown cleveland is a shell anymore. I prefer Cleveland Heights anymore, also prices downtown are getting out of control, $7 a beer in some places.

It's been two years or so but Christy's Cabaret has some pretty nice looking "talent".

I am planning on doing something similar for my bachelorette party but it will depend on the season. I always have a blast when I go to W 6th...whether it's Panini's, Blind Pig, Velvet Dog, Liquid. I've never been anywhere on E 4th except Hilarities so I can't really give an opinion on that. It always looks like a fun time when I walk by it, though.

Lola on E4th or XO on W6th would be good restaurants to kick off the evening. If you guys start at E4th then Bar Room is a short walk around the corner to start the night. Otherwise Fab listed the cool places to check out on W 6th. To end the night I would go to Christie's Cabaret. Don't waste your time with the Diamond Lounge downtown.

Get out of whatever city you live in. Even if you just go to Windsor or Toledo, I'm a big fan of just getting some new scenery.

OH god, stay away from toledo, yuck that place is a cess pool. Go to Windsor if possible.

I would get out of downtown and go south 77 a little way to the first Brecksville exit (SnowRoad) little nice area and I think the Winking Lizard is a hot shot ..plus good ribs/....

I think east on Snow Road down the hill into Valley View is a adult entertainment bar also

Some people obviously have different ideas for a bachelor party than I do. The Winking Lizard? The place is fun and all, but I hope that's not one of the first places to come to mind when thinking about going.

I live in the warehouse district and although I go out on W. 6th more often, East 4th is fun to go out on after Cavs games and there's usually a fair amount of people down there. Maybe not as much anymore since Lebron left. Haven't been to a Cavs game yet so I'm not sure what the attendance has been like. It's supposed to be a nice night saturday so Velvet Dog on W. 6th will probably have the rooftop bar open and that's kind of cool.

Since it will be a nice night, if I were you, after the Cavs game I'd go out on East 4th right after the game. Then, since it will be nice out, it's really not a long walk from there, through public square over towards the warehouse district. If you're looking for hot women, there's a fair amount of hot chicks on W. 6th most saturday nights. Probably will hold true this weekend as, again, it's supposed to be nice.

Once I got to west 6th, if I were you, I'd go to Velvet Dog, Barley House, Blind Pig, Suite Sixx and then, towards the end of the night people tend to go to Dive Bar. Those places are cool enough and will have their share of douche but they're not like Jersey Shore crazy or anything.

Since it's a bachelor party, I would try to hop on the Christie's bus which drives back and forth from W. 6th to Christies throughout the night. It's free.

And, once I got in the flats, I'd have them drop you off at McCarthy's and/or Harbor Inn which are right across from eachother and on the way to Christie's. Harbor Inn has pretty cheap beer and is kind of a hole in the wall but in a good way. I used to live above McCarthy's and a fair amount of the strippers from Christie's go there and Harbor Inn before and after their "shifts."

From there, Christie's is a short walk and its open til 4 am but stops serving booze at 2:30. Try not to look too belligerent when you're heading in if it's after midnight because they'll refuse to let you in.

There's also an adultmart on west 9th, the street over from w. 6th, if you happen to find any strippers privy to a good time. Or, you could get your buddy his bachelor's gift there.

Oh yeah; if you're looking to hear a live band, blind pig will have one. Velvet Dog will play contemporary club/pop music, same with Barley House. Dive Bar will mix in 80s classics with modern music. Barley House has waitresses in little school girl outfits.

As far as beer prices go...the worst of all those places is Velvet Dog. The other ones you can get Bud lite and Miller lite for under $5. At Dive Bar you can get any draft you want, including Great Lakes Xmas Ale for $2.00 until sometime between 9-11. Sadly I'm normally buzzed enough that I can't honestly say what time that deal ends.

Do the opposite of what justin would do.

I said I have different ideas, I'm also realistic. Probably Marshalls, maybe over to Lodge and end up at PD.
