Our annual Best of Cleveland issue gives us the chance to recognize the people and businesses that drive the renaissance of this amazing city. Thursday’s event at Shooters acknowledges the winners (picked by readers) with a big party and celebration.

There will be local bites, “funky cocktails” and some of the city’s best local entertainers.

Pierre’s Ice Cream Company, Southern Tier Brewing Company and Tito’s Handmade Vodka will be on hand as will be Art Box, In the 216, JoVann’s Tobacco Shop, LipSense, Lularoe Danna, Geraci, Sacred Hour Wellness Spa, Wine & Design, Wise Guys and Haircuts for Him. Wine and Design will be onsite doing an East versus West-themed mural.

Tickets are $25 in advance (that includes food tastings and five complimentary drinks) and $35 at the door. The event begins at 6 p.m.
