Behind the Bar: May Bar Menu
We couldn't wait for our bar build-out this summer (it's part of that #BuildTheFlea Kickstarter we've been talking about), so we've started upping our game where we can. Behind it.
It's a Watershed moment for our bar
The May Flea launches our new partnership with Watershed Distillery, a Columbus-based producer of artisan-quality, small-batch spirits. They'll supply the liquor; we'll serve up an amazing list of cocktails.
The Cleveland Flea has also teamed up with Hunter Harlor (forty.one, Pope's Kitchen) to craft May's drink list, which delivers tastes of spring with every sip. Cocktails feature local, fresh ingredients, sodas from Flea vendor Old City Soda and mixes by Flea vendor Pope's Kitchen.

Raise your glass for a great cause
SPACES Gallery, a presenting contemporary art venue dedicated to artists who explore and experiment, is our Charity of the Month. A portion of the bar's proceeds will benefit the gallery. The Cleveland Flea works with area nonprofits each month to help us raise our glasses for a great cause.
Located on the west side of downtown Cleveland, SPACES operates three programs to feature the excellent works of our curated artists: R&D (Research & Development), SWAP (SPACES World Artists Program) and The Vault.
