Leather Stallion Saloon
American · Country Western · Cleveland, OH
About
If you're 40 or older and into leather, country-western, or just a casual dive bar, this Cleveland staple has been around since 1970. It's the oldest Levi/Leather bar in Ohio, with a loyal crowd of bears and daddies. You'll find karaoke, dancing, a pool table, and an outdoor patio. The vibe is men-only and adults-only.
The new owner has kept things friendly, and entry is off a side alley. They serve American bar food and even sell fetish apparel. Weekdays open at 4pm, weekends at 3pm. It's a place where regulars know each other, so going solo might be quiet unless you start a conversation.
Located in Downtown Cleveland, it's a local landmark for the LGBTQ+ community.

From the community
It's a bad sign when a leather bar displays photos of drag queens, and even worse when it shows the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who were relevant decades ago but are now just irritating.

“last stop before I 90”
If you're heading to the east side or near 90, the Stallion is the final stop after the long trip from 117th street. People make a big deal about this being the oldest bar in Cleveland, but so what? It only has memorabilia on the walls. Someone below said there's plenty of conversation, which surprises me. Like every other bar in town, people only talk to their friends. If you go alone, expect to be alone the whole time. Despite what's said below, it's not a leather men's hangout; just elderly men and some older queens looking for company.

“Leather Stallion Bar”
A great place with the new owner and friendly staff definitely worth visiting. If you haven't been since the new owner Dan took over, you're missing out on a great time and not being fair to yourself. The staff and crowds are always welcoming more customers. The entrance is midway off the alley-like side door. Step up and step into one of the greatest bars in the state. I bet you'll enjoy your visits.

“Better”
Great people having fun dancing and mingling all night, plus hot dogs and hamburgers served. Looking forward to going back. During the evening, guys talk about what's happening around town, which opened me up more.
