The vibe of this place is just amazing!!!! It's a great size if you like more intimate venues. Saw Four Times Louder, Truss and 10 Years. The fit got pretty tight towards the end of the show. Bring ear protection. You'll thank me later.

This venue was so cool! I loved the vibe of it and the service was great as well. Incredible drinks! I drove 2 hours for a show here and would do it again.

Pros: what a great venue! The sound was perfect, we watched The Slackers and Mustard Plug and had the time of our lives. Drinks are moderately priced, there is plenty of street parking, and the decor rocks.There are limited bathroom stalls but the restrooms were VERY clean. There was toilet paper and soap all night long, I don't think I've ever been to a cleaner rock venue. So happy about that!Cons:The stage is at a bit on an angle, so my friend on her wheelchair had trouble seeing even from the front row, but we were very happy the venue was wheelchair friendly.

One of the best venues to see a band! This is a true Cleveland classic and it's amazing. Every concert you go to has a really intimate feeling. I have been close enough to touch many artists- from OKgo to White Buffalo and Nate Ruiz. The music is good, there is a full bar and it's a great place to hang with your favorite band.

Looking for a spot to catch a show and have some Grog? Well this Shop is it as who doesn't love a good old fashioned punk show on a weekday night!Coming here I wasn't all too sure what to expect but what I found was an awesome little venue that was just super fun the whole night away!This is a decent sized place with a good amount of floor space to mosh and chill on with the stage kinda in the corner basically everywhere is a decent view as long as your talk enough!Parking here was easy for me as I found a spot on the streets before the venue and it wasn't the only one so I know that is always a relief!Some of the shows here can sell out so if you know about it in advance then definitely take advantage of the presale if there is one!Overall it was a show it sounded good the people who worked at the venue were nice and it was a good time so with that it sure I'll be back here again at some point to see Leftover Crack or who knows who else either way I'll see you in the pit!

We had purchased tickets to see and hear a musical artist -- The Birthday Massacre, from Canada -- back before the pandemic had occurred. In the early days of the pandemic, I had called the venue to inquire about a refund and was told to keep my receipt in case the artist would reschedule. However, the artist has not returned to this venue and is not planning to do so during its current tour.Today, I called the venue today to request a refund and was told that the venue was well past the point of giving out refunds and that -- supposedly -- it had sent out an e-mail months ago. However, we had never received such a message, as we were advised to pay in person in the first place.Ultimately, this is the only business/venue that had screwed us out of money due to an unprecedented, global pandemic; shame on you, Grog Shop! We will never be attending a show at your establishment and will be advising all of our friends to steer clear from you, as well!

Still going strong, the Grog Shop is a cool place to hang out. Better parking than there used to be! I use the garage down the street. Overall it's chill. Drinks aren't too expensive and you can see a show for cheap.

If you are into live music in Cleveland, this place is probably one of the places you've been to more times than you can remember. It's legendary status as a live music venue is well deserved, though most of us older folks spent more time in the original location down the street. There's not much more to say than this is one of the best places in Cleveland to get your music on. Nestled in the heart of Coventry, there are tons of places to eat at before or after the show.

I went to the Grog Shop at the request of a friend who wanted to see an artist, who I'd never heard of. In order to save money on the tickets we purchased them at a record shop in Lakewood where they gave us a carbon copy piece of paper as our ticket. The Grog Shop was quite an experience. When I entered I was immediately swept back to the late '90s when I spent Friday and Saturday nights in a dark and dingy fraternity house basement. There is a bar with a few seats, two or three high top tables and a stage in the corner. That's it so prepare to spend your evening standing. The entire place is very dark. The bathrooms are covered in graffiti. Drinks were good and inexpensive. I found the age range of the audience very interesting. People varied from around 30 years old to maybe their upper 70s. My whole experience at the Grog Shop was underwhelming. I do admit though, that I may feel differently if it was an artist I knew and was eager to see. The reason being, the place was extremely intimate. I'm not eager to visit the Grog Shop any time soon but would go back if I was excited about the artist performing.

Interesting little venue we have here. I've been for two different performances and while there are truly no bells and whistles to this establishment, you can trust that you'll enjoy a nice, intimate experience with the artist on stage. There are a few bar stools throughout and the beverage prices are surprisingly reasonable. My friend and I grabbed two waters, one beer, and two redbulls for $18. In a larger city, that price would have been triple! The bathrooms are bit difficult to find but surprisingly not gross. Also, the sound is pretty good, not too loud and very clear. Overall, this is a great venue for artists who have a small/medium-size fan base. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if there's someone else on the lineup who strikes my fancy.
