FWD Day + Nightclub

Ok FWD, I see you! I was visiting Cleveland with friends and while we were there we decided to go to a show at FWD. I had never been there before so I wasn't too sure what to expect. That said, I was really caught off guard. I definitely didn't feel like I was in Cleveland and I had a really great time. For one - it's on a roof top. Two - there a pool. Three - the music was on point. I mean, what else can a club girlie ask for... and this was on a Sunday afternoon! My friends and I saw Loud Luxury and it was a blast. The tickets weren't too much and the drinks were what you'd expect. Nothing like the prices you would find at a club in a big city, though. Drinks weren't too hard to get either. Overall, I really enjoyed myself and would totally come back for another show if the opportunity presents itself.

The poolside daybeds are fun I rent two every summer holiday and am able to have wristbands for my friends to join me poolside. It's a bottle a bed and the bottles are way overpriced but you can get in to the pool without a cabana for a 20 a head charge with no seating. You can see across the bay to shooters from the pool deck. It's nice in the summer will be visiting again.

I didn't like this place. Really tried to but was disappointed all around. Coming from LA, I had a certain expectation for a "club" feel. For 10-20 dollar cover, I was expecting at least decent drinks and decent music. My drinks tasted watered down and the music was so-so. Nothing special. Interesting crowd. My friends really liked it here so maybe you might too. Worth checking out if looking for something different. Apparently this is "thee club" in the area. Maybe that's true, which further highlights the disappointment.

BEST nightclub in Cleveland hands down. This spot is on par with some of the greatest nightclubs around the WORLD with incredible talent, sound and lights.

Hi Yelp Community! FWD? What do I think? I think Cleveland needed a place like this. It's by far the best night club I've been in Cleveland. I love that it's outdoors and the industrial feel to it. You get to see the train pass by the club all night, considering the concept it's pretty cool. If you have more than 4 people on your group Bottle service is the way to go. Average bottles are in the 300s. You will hear a lot of EDM so I hope you like it.This club gets pretty packed so I recommend that you arrive at 11 or so. I had a great time and I hope you do to.

I'm a little bit confused about how I feel about FWD. It's definitely a cool lounge/bar right on the water but it must be a seasonal place to hit up since there's no indoor space at all?! Anyway, it's pretty, the location is great, and the music is awesome. However, why is there a pool? I heard it was supposed to be a Vegas-style place, but this pool was merely a kiddy pool, and it's definitely meant for decor and not swimming.Anyway, being that they just opened, I'll give FWD the benefit of the doubt that they'll figure everything out by the next warm weather season, since it is almost Labor Day so it definitely won't have much of a crowd come the next few weeks...As for the drinks, they're strong, and the bartenders are attentive, but like I said, I'm CONFUSED.

Very frustrating experience last night because of lack of consistency and communication. Was with a group of people who had a table inside. Wasn't sure what the 'exact' name was as it was a mutual friend and we were just invited last minute, but the bouncer refused any other way to verify the table such as someone from the group coming to get us. Was initially told that the "only" way to get in was to have a bottle service table at $285 a bottle with a 2 bottle minimum. 10 minutes later they formed a general admission line and were charging $10 covers. Fine, we were going to do that since it was our only way at that point. But the bouncer started letting everyone else in the GA line except my group. He started making comments about how we were stupid for not knowing the name of the table the first time. Obviously annoyed, my friend argued with the bouncer about why he was letting everyone else in but us and he just said "okay now I'm not letting you in at all". What kind of childishness and unprofessionalism is that? For "the largest club in the midwest" as the bouncer bragged, I certainly expect to have more mature staff and at the very least, a consistent process. Have never been here before and was excited to go, but probably will never be back! Wanted to have my birthday here

Hipster vibes only! Came here with a few friends. As if paying to get in isn't enough the drinks are also pricey they also have hookah available however it's a separate company so they're 60-80 dollars. This is good for a few times a month/special occasion, night out with the gals or big group of friends. They also host good DJS here, which you can buy tickets online. But when they don't have popular DJS it can be very bland. Still fun! They have a pool for day time and many bars located all over the club! Summer vibes and fun times is what this place is all about!

Great service. Great VIP treatment. :) The cabanas are so much fun. The staff is great. They even help you look for lost jewelry the morning after, lol.

Very disappointing experience with bouncer when we were trying to get in. We weren't drunk or anything just unhappy and lack of understanding customer service bouncer. Bartenders were nice but drinks were weak. I have been many clubs all over the world and have never negative experience even with language barrier. This is sad for Cleveland.
