It’s been a hard seven months for local clubs and for the music fans who like to hang out, have a few drinks and catch a couple of bands. And it may be a long time before touring bands, big and small, are back on the road, and clubs are operating at full capacity.
But the Grog Shop is taking baby steps. This summer it hosted outdoor shows on the patio of its next-door venue, the B-Side. And now it’s teamed up with fundraising tool ioby to present a series of Thursday night shows featuring local bands to fuel hungry music fans. Capacity will be limited to a maximum of 40, with table seating for groups of two-to-six people.
“We are so appreciative of the donations and support we have received, and want to share where your money is going!” says the Grog Shop press release. “The funds raised will enable us to host the series which features some of Cleveland’s greatest artists and pairs them with some of our best local restaurants! From Oregon Space Trail of Doom, to Jul Big Green & Apostle Jones to Nights teaming up with Mojo World Eats, Tavern Company, Marotta’s, Chimi, Boss Dog and more — every Thursday we will feature a show and a snack! We hope you can join us as we continue to navigate this wild new frontier in Grog Shop history.”
The series kicks off this week with Bwak Dragon and Cereal Banter. It’s hosted by Cleveland State radio station WCSB; in place of their usual Halloween event it’sthe “WCSB Lockdown Halloween Maskerade Ball.” It’s being filmed to be broadcast at a later date so people are encouraged to come in costume. Might as well; ypu’re required to wear a mask anyway.
The Grog Shop hopes to build on the Thursday night shows gradually adding more events.

October 15 – Bwak Dwagon / Cereal Banter – Sponsored in part by WCSB
October 22 – Apostle Jones / Jul Big Green – Food from Tommy’s Restaurant Sponsored by Coventry Village
