No Class

No Class is a queer bar and small live-music venue at 11213 Detroit Avenue on Cleveland's west side, next door to The Hawk. It used to be the punk dive Now That's Class. Yellow Scene called it "Cleveland's gay metal bar" in September 2025, and Cleveland Scene readers made it runner-up for Best LGBTQ+ Bar in 2026. The front room is a small bar. The back room is built over a skateboard half-pipe, with the stage at the far end. The calendar mixes punk and metal gigs with drag shows, King of Drag and Dragula watch parties, the Sapphic Social night and a techno party called Berghain't. Many shows are all ages, so check noclasscle.com for the lineup and door policy.
