Any Cleveland Ladies? Bar advice...

[shortstax]

Hey Clevelanders, quick question for you.

I'm going to a bachelorette party soon. The MOB planned bar hopping in the "Ohio City/Tremont area." I have no clue about this neighborhood.

What type of scene is this? More importantly, what should I wear?

Clevelander here! Those are two great areas, but you can't really walk from one to the other. Ohio City (W. 25th) has become the new beer market in town. If you like beer, then this is your place. There is Great Lakes Brewery, Market Garden, Bar Cento and a new brewery opening up down the street, but I don't know when it is opening. Dress is pretty casual, yet nice. I wouldn't go in jeans and tee shirt, but I don't feel like I need to get all dressed up when I go down there.

Tremont is also a great place. I am a fan of the Flying Monkey, Tree House, and South Side. If you are looking for a great place to eat down there, Lolita is my favorite. It is Michael Symon (Iron Chef)'s restaurant. Maybe go there to eat and then hit the bars.

Both are great areas, it just depends on what you are looking for. Ohio City is great for beer and Tremont is more of a "bar" scene. Tremont is a little bit dressier. THere are a lot of girls in cute little dresses or nice pants and a top. I think it would all depend on the weather. Right now, I would wear a cute little dress and sandals. Let me know if you have any other questions. I would be happy to help!

Thanks, this helps. I just referred back to the MOB's email. Looks like we're starting out in Ohio City and eating at one of the breweries then heading to Tremont for the bar hopping.

Thanks for the help! I don't really have any "going out" clothes, so this helped me figure out what to get. thx!

All of the above information is correct*. lol. Thanks missmis! Where do you live?

*Except that I'm not familiar with Tree House and South Side so I can't verify. I go to Tremont more for restaurants than for drinks.

I've been to Treehouse once and it was really fun. Have a great time at your party. Those are both really fun areas.

I've never had an issue in either area in nearly 15 years of going out there. Of course it's always wise to be aware of your surroundings in any city, but the commercial areas where you will be going out are fine.

thanks for all the advice ladies! We'll be in a large group and taking cabs, so I think we'll be fine.

Now, anyone want to online shop for a cute outift for me? j/k. well, kind of kidding

I live in North Royalton. I agree about the safety issue. You can never be too careful.

I'm rolling my eyes at the "safety concerns". Use common snese and you'll be fine.

Me too. It isn't like you are going out in East Cleveland.
