Peabody's Down Under

The famous Peabody’s Down Under was previously located on the east bank of the Cuyahoga River in the Flats entertainment district. The former location was converted from warehouse space and originally opened as the Pirates Cove in the late 60's. The business changed hands and Peabody's was unveiled in May 1982. Since then, Peabody's has grown in popularity and prestige and now boasts two additional venues including Pirates Cove and Rockstar, as well as three bars, two floors, an outdoor patio, state-of-the art sound/lights, and over 13,000 square feet.

The club has an ideal location in one of the most thriving districts of the city. Situated on the campus of Cleveland State University, Peabody’s is directly behind the Wolstein Center, which holds concerts with attendance of up to 14,000. One city block away is the Playhouse Square District. The area is enjoying a major resurgence as the University continues to expand.

Over the years, Peabody's has presented a wide variety of national artists. Most major artists have performed on Peabody's stage at one point in their careers. Many alumni have gone on to tour arenas and sell millions of albums. In addition to its national offerings, Peabody's is also considered a leader and the primary venue in Cleveland's local music scene. The club's legendary resume has paralleled Cleveland's Rock & Roll history on both a national and local level.
