One of Cleveland’s gorgeous waterfront communities with bustling entertainment options and more

River Entertainment Urban Nightlife Beach

Located along beautiful Lake Erie, West Bank is a gorgeous waterfront community. The area is great for renters of any budget with affordable dwellings to luxury condos. Old River and the Cuyahoga River run through the neighborhood, providing dazzling scenery perfect for fishing, boating, and swimming. There are several yachts clubs and marinas along these rivers.

West Bank is home to Wendy Park and the Historic Cleveland Coast Guard Station. The extremely popular annual Burning River Fest is held at these two destinations for a two-day celebration of craft beer, wine, food trucks, and live music. Residents also love Wendy Park for its peaceful beaches. West Bank offers an abundance of entertainment opportunities year round as well.

Along with waterfront eateries, the neighborhood is filled with live entertainment venues along the Cuyahoga River such as the Greater Cleveland Aquarium and Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica, a 5,000-seat riverside concert venue set with views of the city and ships. West Banks has plenty to offer but the area provides convenient access to other major destinations in Cleveland, including the East Bank Flats, Gordon Square Arts District, and Downtown Cleveland for even more choices for entertainment, dining, and shopping.
