Welcome to the Nautica Entertainment Complex

Nautica Entertainment Complex invites you to experience exceptional dining and exhilarating entertainment in a dramatic setting where you can see giant lake freighters maneuver the Cuyahoga River. Since its opening in 1987, the Nautica Entertainment Complex has attracted millions of people annually. Anchored by two dramatic jackknife bridges, the distinctive character of the Flats is accentuated by Cleveland’s finest entertainment venues.

Nautica Entertainment Complex includes the FirstEnergy Powerhouse (home to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, Windows on the River banquet facilities and Trolley Tours); the Sugar Warehouse with Shooters on the Water, the IMPROV Comedy Club and Restaurant and Great Lakes Watersports; Jacobs Pavilion (a 5,000 seat outdoor amphitheater); the Nautica Queen dining/cruise ship, and the Apartments at Nautica building with McCarthy’s Downtown and the Nautica Charity Poker Festivals. At the Cuyahoga River’s edge is the half-mile long Nautica Boardwalk offering special views of boats on the river and Cleveland’s resurgent skyline.
