Brothers and business partners Brad and Bryan Frey have launched their first issue of a hand-sized, full color, glossy magazine – Cleveland Bar Tab: Cleveland’s Restaurant, Bar and Nightlife Guide. Twenty thousand copies of the new guide were published and made available for free at bars throughout the city.

By way of introduction, the Frey brothers celebrate with bold attitudes the sacred moment of their publication's birth in 2007. With Cleveland Bar Tab, they have installed “a new regime of hip, cool and no holds-barred (pun intended) nightlife guide for this, the Holy City of Ohio – Cleveland.”

Cleveland Bar Tab is, indeed, fifty-six pages of fun. It’s filled with articles, listings, photographs and profiles of party animals, smartly designed to inspire young people to let the good times roll in the “Holy City.”

“We felt Cleveland needed a full color, nice, handy, easy to read guide to nightlife,” said Brad Frey, who first noticed the Bar Tab franchise concept while living and working in Florida.

With a background in the advertising industry, Brad Frey set up shop with his brother. Working from their Nicholson Avenue home until they can find office space, the brothers are sold on Lakewood for its location. “We’ve always liked Lakewood. It’s a good in-between place that puts us in the center of things.”
