Now That's Class Lounge

The was a super cool little bar that I pass all the time and just wanted to step in. People were friendly! There was a show going on in the other room that we didn't not go and see because we didn't want to pay

One of the diviest dive bars I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. Went for a hardcore show and had a blast. The character of this place is amazing. This place hosts a ton of awesome shows, so it's a place I'll return to over and over again

Xmas eve and im here, end of 2015. Nowhere id rather be. Embedded smell of partying in the air, tunes mellow as can be. Merry Xmas! Til next year.

Jesco White the Dancing Outlaw performed here this weekend. Probably one of the best shows ever.

Class is the place for a special kind of person: the person who enjoys DIY aesthetics, cheap beer, a punk's attitude. I've been here so many times (I've ever performed here) and every time I'm here, the staff has been fantastic. The shows can get a little crazy, but like I said, it caters to that angsty young adult inside of us all. As far as small venues go, this is the place to be for that hometown-show kind of vibe. When events happen, such as flea markets, the same kind of DIY aesthetic exists, but with a bigger kind of life to it. I even came here for my birthday once: just me and three other people, at 11PM on a cold January night. Cheap beer, and if you want to be left alone, you'll be left alone.

We went to see Off With Their Heads the other day and had a great time. I've always been a fan of the skate ramps you can sit on during a show. Very cool.The sound is good for such a small venue and I always have fun when I'm here. Of course the bathrooms could be better but that's true of most small punk clubs. Am I right or am I right, eh? NTC has a fair beer selection at good prices. Overall, one of the better small venues.

My first visit to NTC did not disappoint. Drunk lady passed out on the bar? Check. Intoxicated crackheads advocating keeping other crackheads out of the bar? Double-check. Girl from a band brushing her teeth in the bathroom? Triple-check. Dirt cheap drinks and a random, indoor skateboarding ramp? All the checks. The bartender was a sweet little lady with an English accent. Go see her on Wednesdays and she'll take great care of you. The riff-raff was on point and quite entertaining, yet she handled it with poise and grace. Just about the only thing I didn't like were the guys who smelled the entire bar up with body-odor, slinging racial slurs in Italian like it was A-OK to be an a-hole. Nope. But they aren't the regular clientele. Can't wait to come back to this divey piece of awesome.

Brown bomber shit, brown shit, black shit green shit, purple shit, ice cream shit, corn shit

This bar belongs to a guy (Paul Schlachter) who used to roam the streets of Kent with a megaphone accosting whomever would step into his radius of sound. He's also a part of the (now sometimes reformed band?) "The Darvocets".Upon my last visit to Cleveland I was happy to hear that Paul had decided to step into the small rock venue arena and open "Now That's Class". The non-smoking bar is welcoming with it's high ceilings, movie screenings and small stage. The jukebox is filled with punk rock greatness and the hits just play on and on... the bar is basically a cornucopia of entertainment! If you don't want to watch bands play, you stay on on the "bar side" and get treated to stiff drinks, an insane variety of beers and friendly staff. If there aren't any bands playing, there's a quarter pipe set up on the "stage side" for your cold, snowy indoor skateboarding needs. This place is great to meet friends, have conversation and, well, GET DRUNK! (Yep, it happened to me).And yes, you can see Paul behind the bar holding the place together. The man has aged gracefully and has managed to hang on to his megaphone for business purposes... "last call" will never be the same! Thanks for the good time, guys...PS: Touring Bands - contact them for more info on the venue and how to book a gig there.

Pure joy in here. Absolutely fantastic joint. Went in found a unexpected concert. Saw a band called midnight. Lost my mind. On a scale of 1-10 I would say a solid 100
