Duck Island Club

I could not be more happy with my experience at this bar. We were a large group of loud girls on a bachelorette party, mostly out of towners and we came here after the Velvet Tango room. Brock the bartender was probably the best bartender I’ve ever had, and I’m not talking about his drink mixing ability because I was drinking bourbon but his attention to every single customer and patience with us was amazing. Not only was I impressed that he was so nice and patient with us but he was actually happy and appreciative that we were there. We were loud and drunk and taking over the place and the juke box and having a great time. It’s a very cute small bar with a nice outside back patio. Perfect place to select your own tunes on the juke box and dance or just chill at the bar. Thanks Brock for making us feel welcome. If I lived in Cleveland I would be a regular for sure.

No ducks per say, nor an island. Small bar with 2 dance floors. If you shot your wad at VTR then come here to finish the job off. Note to self people are really friendly and they like to party. If you and I end up here it means I like you and you know how to have a blast. if you do not care for this place, You may want to head back to Legacy Village.

Small, fun, clean, good music and DJs (but way too loud). The dance floor is the size of a couch, but that just makes it intimate. I love the little tree that covers the entire little patio. I’d say it’s charming or adorable, but I don’t think they’d like that. So let’s just call it tight.
I came here as part of an organized bike ride. Not exactly sure when else I’d be in the neighborhood — maybe on the way in or out of Tremont.

This must be the hippest dive bar I’ve ever been too. It’s trendy, but in a really good way. Set in a residential neighborhood it can be a little difficult to find, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. As we approached, three guys are hanging out front. Turns out one is the bartender and the other the DJ. Turns out we are also the only ones there, but to be expected since it was 11PM on a Monday night, and actually quite fortuitous since it was like having our own private bar. They have a good selection of beers from $ 3 PBR drafts to micro brews, and a nice patio out back if you’d like to drink outside. DJ played Coltrane, Isley Brothers, to our request for punk music such as the Replacements, Ramones, and Jim Carroll Band. The bartender and DJ were both great. Again because this is not in obvious place, getting a taxi to pick us up took some effort, but the effort was well worth it!
