Pat's In The Flats has provided alternative entertainment to Clevelanders for nearly twenty years. In a make-a-quick-buck era, proprietor Pat Hanych chose not to walk the karaoke road, instead providing a stage for local youth to make a little bit of noise. Over the years, Pat’s became a favorite stop for established regional and national acts as well.The building - in the industrial “Flats” area in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood - has at one time or another served as a speakeasy, show bar, and gambling house, that has outlived Ulysses S. Grant (along with 24 other U.S. Presidents since). Eliot Ness would pace the planks of Pat’s long before the White Stripes and Death of Samantha. And yet, tucked at the very bottom of Literary Road, Pat’s in the Flats is an unassuming site, dwarfed as it is by the surrounding industrial infrastructure.Pat was twelve years old, washing dishes in what was then Annie's Lunch (named after Pat’s Ma), when she fell in love with the humble, hard-working people that live and labor in lower Tremont and the Flats. After the war, her father ran another Tremont blue-collar tavern, now Lucky's Coffee. When she graduated from Ohio State, Pat examined her many options, and eventually she'd return to her roots, starting up a luncheonette and making new friends in the old neighborhood. It wasn't long before she was talked into hosting the venue’s debut performance by Pat's Hot Knights, "some young guys from the cement-factory." The band’s music career never went too far but for Pat, the flame for live music was sparked.Come by and check out Pat’s fantastic daytime menu, and consult patsintheflats.com for regular updates of coming rock and roll events! lm & m uva
