History

Established in 2014.

Donated to The Music Settlement in late 2013, BOP STOP is the place to see high-​quality up-​and-​coming and well-​established acts on the near-​West side. All programming is booked by the staff at The Music Settlement; with a century’s worth of musical expertise, you can be sure that a night out at the BOP STOP is always worthwhile.

Additionally, when you buy tickets for a BOP STOP show, or buy food and drinks at our venue, your purchase helps to support The Music Settlement and its many programs. Featuring tiered seating and an open floor plan, there’s not a bad seat in the house. We also have a free parking lot adjacent to the building.

We are happy to feature artwork from local artists. BOP STOP at The Music Settlement also partners with Cleveland Culinary Launch and Kitchen to showcase local chefs and local food. Arrive early for snacks and drinks at the beautiful bar. Food service begins 30 minutes prior to each performances and continues through the evening.
