Shooters Waterfront Cafe   

Since 1987, Shooters has held court on Cleveland's West Bank of the Flats as the supreme locale for summer fun. Open year-round, the restaurant's three spacious dining rooms, outdoor patio dining and six bars (four outdoor and two indoor) accommodate over one million guests throughout the summer and winter season. The summer season, however, is this entertainment complex's heyday. By day, it's a perfect gathering space for families looking for a scenic spot to gather along the Cuyahoga River at the mouth of Lake Erie and watch boat traffic meander by. Kids love to sit outside and watch the "elevator bridge" raise for tall boats and lower when a train passes. At night, it offers live entertainment, dancing, light shows and all sorts of libations. Well-known artists such as the Village People, Kansas, Dion, America, the Romantics, Sheryl Crow, Eddie Money, the Count Basie Orchestra and The Tubes, to name only a few, have performed at Shooters. Boaters can pull up and moor themselves to Shooters' dock/patio and stop in for fun. On Sundays, enjoy a lavish brunch and dine alfresco when the weather cooperates.
