Beachland Ballroom and Tavern

We were walking the Waterloo Arts area, and stopped in to see this iconic venue. The tavern was busy past lunch. Downstairs is a vintage shop with records, clothing, a few books and old Knick knacks. It was cool. We didn't see the performance area, but we had heard about it, and the variety of shows. We'll be coming to see a show soon.

We decided to drive across town to the Beachland Ballroom Tavern for the Benevolent Brunch. It was well worth the trip. The Benevolent Brunch has a limited menu (only three items), but they make those items perfectly. There is a parking lot, but also street parking. It was clean and well maintained. There was a good music selection (James Brown and Percy Sledge to name a few). We arrived at 11a. The brunch is 11-4. The tavern filled up quickly and there were several take out orders. You order at the register and they bring the food to you. Drinks are a separate purchase at the bar. Staff was friendly and it appeared there were several regulars, which is always a good sign. Afterwards you can browse the upcoming events or do some vintage shopping in the basement. It will be nice when more businesses are up and running in the Waterloo area. It could be a nice afternoon stroll. We will be returning in the near future.

I've had the pleasure of coming here on a few different occasions, the biggest being CleMosh 2023 and 2024. The fact that they have two stages just adds to the excitement and the experience! The festivals I've been to draws in really great crowds metal heads who never made me feel unwelcome or unsafe. That is a sure thing I can say, if you're at a metal show you will be a safe, wild and well coming community! the actual venue is very beautiful, the main stage is lit with dazzling and fun lights! There feels like there is a rich history of joyous excitement bedded into the walls! You can feel the atmosphere change in a great when you walk though the doors! I've only tried their chicken tenders and fries from the tavern but I will say it was the most delicious mouthwatering bites I've had after dancing around and having the time of my life fr hours! If ever have the opportunity to see a band play here, definitely take it!You won't regret it! Also side note, there is a really cute antique shop in the basement that is worth checking out!

A modest sized music venue with a raised stage and a few bars. Saw Pokey LaFarge perform there, and he put on a fantastic show. Had to stand to the right side to see the band, and the sound was still great. It is standing room only. Knowing that, I had to miss the opener because I have invisible disabilities that make standing painful. The only negative being on that side was the constant stream of (the same) people going to and from the bar with beers in hand. When you exit the ballroom after a show, you funnel out into a rather narrow hallway, which had band merch set up on one side which made it difficult to stop and check out merch. Overall loved the vibe and the history of legendary bands that have played there like The Cramps. Would definitely make the trip to see a show there again. Oh! Street parking was hard to find so we had to park at a small pay lot a few blocks up. It wasn't expensive...around $5.

Ive had several good experiences here. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and attentive. The food was good & worth the money for the portions you get. The ambiance is nice too, i enjoyed it.

Great venue for live music. It was standing room only. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The bartenders were amazing and attentive. They remembered my drink order, I was very impressed! I appreciate how they tried to keep order which can be challenging where booze is involved. We had such a good time, we left our jackets. When we returned the next day, our jackets were right where we left them! The owner has an Airbnb down the street. It was perfect for a one nighter and we were able to walk to and from venue. Beachland Tavern was so much fun and I will remember always!

My absolute favorite place to take in a show. Sound is always perfect..loud enough to let you know you're at a show, but not so loud to require earplugs. Location is cool and somewhat safe. They have a fantastic little store in the basement that carries music and merchandise. The food here is amazing. I highly recommend the fries (with garlic aioli sauce) and the chicken tenders which are unique and are NOT the frozen variety.

Have been several times for different concerts.. hands down the best Long Island I have ever had. The bartender's are always nice and the atmosphere is definitely a vibe.

Omg. Get the chicken tenders! Crispy and meaty. Delicious! The honey mustard dip was grainy and creamy.

Great intimate concert venue in the Waterloo Arts District in Cleveland. They have all kinds of music there, and a full bar. The biggest surprise is the high quality of food from their modest kitchen menu!
