There’s A Tropical Getaway Hiding Right Here In Cleveland And You’ll Want To Visit

The Northeast Ohio climate is versatile enough to potentially throw off a Clevelander's day or week. Snow and rain frequently batter America's North Coast, but fortunately, there is a tropical getaway hidden in The Land that can make the hustle and bustle of city life feel a thousand miles away. Your inner pirate won't mind enduring the cold (or admiring the Lake Erie sunset if the weather decides to cooperate that day) after a visit to this carefree paradise for your taste buds:

Welcome to Cleveland's famous Porco Lounge & Tiki Room.

This tropical destination is overflowing with nautical and tiki-themed decor.

The lounge, which is located at 2527 W. 25th Street, features meals that are unlike anything you've ever seen...

...as well as Polynesian-inspired cocktails that make Cleveland feel more like a tropical island than a coastal city on a Great Lake.

Their dishes, which are artfully crafted into deliciously stunning displays, will coax out your inner pirate.

And the incredible atmosphere of the Porco Lounge & Tiki Room is a perfect place to socialize...

...or share a quick drink with good friends.

This tropical lounge is tucked away between Tremont and Ohio City, so the surrounding neighborhoods are full of artistic adventure.

There's nothing like a day trip through the culturally rich Ohio City followed by a fancy drink at this incredible lounge.

Ohio City features some incredible attractions, ranging from the West Side Market to breweries, pubs, and sweet shops. For our Ohio City itinerary, click here.
