The Beachland Ballroom, in Cleveland's Collinwood neighborhood, is a former Croatian ballroom and Cleveland landmark turned concert club. The two stage venue hosts a full schedule of local, regional, and national music acts.

History:

The Beachland Ballroom was built in 1950 as the Croatian Liberty Home and Ballroom. It became a popular spot in Cleveland's ethnic Collinwood neighborhood. A kitchen was added in 1976.

In 2000, the landmark building became a concert club, still retaining much of its historic charm.

Where's the beach? It's about a half mile north of the club, but the entire neighborhood carries the "Beachland" designation, a carryover from the days when Euclid Beach Park was just up the road.

Concerts:

The Beachland Ballroom hosts a full schedule of regional, local, and national musicians throughout the year. The current schedule may be viewed on the Ballroom's Web site. The club is particularly noted for its excellent sound system. The Beachland has two stages, the ballroom and the more intimate tavern.

Food at the Beachland Ballroom:

The kitchen at the Beachland stills turns out a variety of sandwiches and snacks from when the doors open until 11pm. New is a gourmet meal take-out service, The Supper Club, offered from 5pm - 7pm Mondays-Thursdays. The Beachland also offers Sunday brunch.

Tickets to Beachland Ballroom concerts are available from the Beachland's box office at 216 383-1124, from area record stores, or via TicketMaster.

The Beachland has a small lot adjacent to the concert club. In addition there are hundreds of on-street spaces within a short distance of the venue, most of which are free.
