The Music Box Supper Club sits on the Flats East Bank waterfront, in a low building on the Cuyahoga River with a long deck overlooking the iron lift bridges. The bookings cover the better end of regional live music: jazz, Americana, soul, the occasional internationally touring act. Dinner is served before the show in a separate dining room with white tablecloths and a competent steak-and-seafood menu.
The deck is the best riverside vantage in downtown Cleveland; arrive early in summer for a drink before the music starts. Tickets via the venue's website.
