Holiday Pop-Up Bar Returning To Cleveland

CLEVELAND — The holiday-themed pop-up bar Lake Effects will return to downtown Cleveland this year. Last year, in a five-week period, thousands of visitors partied in the bar.

This year, Lake Effects opens November 29. The bar will remain open until December 31. The bar is located at E. 9th and Euclid, in the Schofield Building.

“I had the opportunity to visit Lake Effects on more than one occasion last year and we are thrilled it is returning to downtown Cleveland for a second year. It is a wonderful addition to downtown and a fun and nostalgic way to fully embrace the holiday season," said Joe Marinucci, president and CEO of the Downtown Cleveland Alliance.

Last year, the bar was described as a retro-themed sensation, with a serious "Mad Men" vibe.

Lake Effects will also be available for private holiday parties, corporate functions and celebrations at select times and days. Lake Effects also has a full array of catering options, DJs, AV equipment and can arrange a visit from Santa.
