Came here to see Aimée Allen Trio: Strings and C(h)ords with Tony Romano and François MoutinThis was my first trip to the Bop Stop. Definitely not my last ! The jazz artists were really good. They played a mix of originals and music of other jazz artists. The place is a very neat space. Good acoustics, nice bar. The drink sales go to music education. Such a great investment in music education. Highly recommend looking into the shows that are on their website. Go and support this awesome place ! Thanks for a great night of jazz. Looking forward to attending additional shows. https://www.themusicsettlement.org/events/2021/10/22/aime-allen-trio-strings-and-chords-with-tony-romano-and-franois-moutin-bop-stop

What a cool experience! We came here to see Stanley Davis perform with the Dave Banks Big Band, and it was such a pleasure. This venue donates proceeds from the bar to The Music Settlement, which has a music school for children, as well as music therapy. What an awesome cause, and a great intimate space to see a show. There are maybe about 15 tables that seat 4 in front of the venue, and you can also sit at a bar that lines the back of the room. Right now they are looking for a new kitchen vendor, so it's drinks only and no food. We had a great time, and would definitely recommend this venue.

Looking for jazz without the hassle but with talent? You found it at Bop Stop. Had a fabulous time. Visiting CLE and our last night looking for some jazz to end our stay. Found Bop Stop! No reservation needed. Showed up about 45 min before showtime and had the whole place to pick wherever we wanted. Most people arrived around 15 min beforehand. Two levels to sit. Tables at stage level and tables at bar (bit higher) and sitting at bar. Our drinks were solid. We didn't have any food as we came after dinner. But they had a few bites. We arrived at sunset hour so caught a bit of the view. The music was fun, experimental, fresh yet still ode to the greats. The night got exciting at the end with a little impromptu from musicians in audience joining in with their own instruments. All in all a fabulous secret gem find. Also it's a non-profit to spread music, & train young musicians. Support the arts

This was the highlight of our weekend trip. Tommy Lehman and the Uplift Band with musical guest Peachcurls did an amazing job. Acoustically, this place was spot on. We enjoyed that concession proceeds go to local youth music programs. The staff were friendly, the place was clean, and they do have a nice drink selection. Their food service group just left so we were limited to trail mix, cookies and chips, but I don know food will be back on the menu. Having the manager get up on stage and perform with the band was a nice touch. The audience was into it throughout the night, and the place was packed. Parking around the area is not easy so get there early as their private lot has limited space, but it is worth going if you are a music lover who enjoys supporting local talent and jazz music.

Great music venue supporting a great cause! I came in on a Wednesday night looking for love jazz. Cleveland Scene has a nice daily rundown. Found a 3 piece jazz band and always wanted to visit the Bop Stop, so here I am. To say this place is intimate is an understatement. With that said, however, the tables and chairs are not on top of each other as some of the other music venues. You get plenty of elbow room!Gabe met me at the door, collected the cover, and showed me to a table. Gabe then served me up a bottle of wine before running back to the kitchen to prepare the hummus I ordered. After Gabe brought out my hummus, he went to the stage to introduce the band. Turns out Gabe was the only one working, and he was working his tail off taking care of the 30 or so patrons that all apparently walked in without tickets in advance. Turns out the Bop Stop is owned by a school and any proceeds from the venue go to support education. Gabe proclaimed them to be the only school with a liquor license in the area. As an amateur musician myself, and a fan of live music, I was hooked. I've been to music venues with better kitchens, better bars, and better service. But the design of the stage and seating here is better than all of those, and seeing the proceeds go to education, I would jump at the opportunity to return.

We had a private event at Bop Stop this past weekend and it was exceptional.Bop Stop is a music venue. The stage is small but intimate, and holding an event here means you'll be up close and cozy with the performers. The atmosphere in here in general is outstanding. Its very warm, inviting, and makes for good conversation or performer observation. Its simultaneously friendly and romantic. You'll be happy to know that they have a small parking lot with a spacious amount of parking.I have to give tremendous props to the staff. The bartenders, security and other staff were working tremendously hard. The drink menu is very fresh and original, and the 2 drinks I had for the evening were a-m-a-z-i-n-g. The Rabbit Sour (bombay sapphire, lemon juice, egg white) and strawberry basil mojito had such original and crisp flavors. I could've easily had several.Bop Stop is a wonderful place to visit year round to catch some of their programmed music or to host your event. Not only are they the self-proclaimed "premier listening room" of Lake Erie, but they are a non-profit affiliated with The Music Settlement. They pride themselves on featuring local musicians. This place is truly a gem, and if you haven't been there yet, what are you waiting for? Set your bookmark and GO!

Loved going to this spot for a jazz concert. The music was amazing and the food was delicious. They didn't have too many options but I tried the braised ribs and to my surprise, it was delicious and moist and did not disappoint. Would recommend for a lowkey date light and music for sure!
