I find it amusing they would call this a Restaurant...lol This is a nudie bar, and probably one of the worst in the Cleveland area.
I have been here multiple times just for the thrill of walking into a complete time warp. Not like I go every month but maybe once a year or 4.
The first time I ever went here was in the 90's. I had never been to the place and told my friends we needed to stop at the Lido. Ever since I was a child I recall passing by the Lido on West 117th to go to my Uncle Dan's house over on 116th. I just finally had to know what it was all about. I found out it was about general nastiness. It is where old strippers go to die. On this very first trip we were about to leave when the doorman stops us at the door. Obviously we had our fill of the wonderful ladies and the 1974 decor and it was time to move on. The Doorman says "where you going". I say "Capone's I heard that's where the action is". His reply, "You don't need to go to Capone's all the action you need is right here", pointing at the stage. "See that girl right there on stage?" I nod yes. "Yeah, that's my sister. She's hot isn't she?" Nod in agreement and go back to sit down again. WTF just happened there? Was I warped into the back hills of West Virginia??? This is a true story, it will be told the same way by the 3 people who were in the club that day.
2nd and last experience at the Lido skip forward about 10 years later. The place looks the exact same. Girls look the same with a couple decent ones thrown in that are possibly underage. My friend gets offered a dance from a decent looking girl, takes him off to the side for a little table dance and starts taking off some clothing. Ok, I am no medical doctor here but either this fine young lady suffered a gunshot wound to the gut or had a C-section in a third world country because she had a scar that looked like it was sewn together with twine.
So as a joke....the Lido can hold it's own with places like Pinky's and the Amber Lounge. Don't go here sober, and don't expect anything too hot. Expect to pay a cover, expect overpriced drinks, and expect some really messed up stuff to go on here. I think the only reason we actually stay when we go there is because we just paid the cover and want to get our moneys worth. Some cat named V-Pops rules the VIP area, you got to hang with that cat.
Pros: naked chicks
