From theaters to restaurants, we've listed the oldest Cleveland staples across the city. Some of these institutions have been around since Cleveland's founding, and some have been around long before. Together, these are the relics that created the city we bustle about every day. Sit back with your mousepad and reminisce as we celebrate Cleveland's Best of the Oldies.
Be sure to let us know in the comments what your favorite old-timers are, and keep us posted on what you've found to be the oldest establishments around town.
At a time when local-based reporting is critical, support from our readers is essential to our future. If you're able to, please support Cleveland Scene today.
