The Flats East Bank Entertainment District was an ambitious project aimed at bringing together the best restaurants, clubs and entertainment experiences to the East Bank Flats District in Cleveland. The project's goal was to create unique "Vertical" bars on three levels with a rooftop patio for each. The project is divided into two buildings with a central Beer Garden Alley travelling from the pedestrian street toward a boardwalk stage. Pedestrian connection with the Cuyahoga River and boardwalk were a central theme to the project with restaurants at boardwalk level.
