Nighttown

Named after the Dublin Red-Light District in James Joyce's Ulysses, Nighttown posseses the ambiance of Irish pubs and turn of the century New York bars. Leaded, etched, and stained glass, combined with a clutter of memorabilia from earlier eras decorate the four distinctly different dining rooms and three active bars. Be sure to see Stephen's Green, our outdoor dining area (fully-heated for year-round use) with a wall-size waterfall. Since opening day, February 5, 1965, the menu has been a model of consistency. Top quality Certified Angus Beef, milk -fed veal, and the freshest of fish and chicken are prepared with creative simplicity. Try our house speciality, The Dublin Lawyer. And Nighttown has the best jazz available - in fact, we're the only club in Ohio on Down Beat's list of The Best Jazz Clubs in the World. Local players, as well as the likes of Ahmad Jamal, Benny Green, John and Bucky Pizzarelli, the Count Basie Orchestra, Eliane Elias, Ann Hampton Callaway, Bob Dorough, Karrin Allyson, Kurt Elling, Bob James and literally hundreds of other "name" artists have all performed to enthusiastic audiences in one of the most intimate venues imaginable. Nighttown is also home of The Press Club of Cleveland and its Cleveland Journalism Hall of Fame, representing over 120 years of Cleveland journalism history.

A number of different organizations hold regular monthly lunch and dinner meetings at Nighttown, including The Press Club of Cleveland. Private rooms are available for groups from 15 to 150. Rehearsal dinners, bar mitzvahs, bridal showers, company events, birthdays, etc. All are welcome.
