I can't believe that I found out about this--today from a bad flyer in Parma.

and the PD is just picking it up now, too...I saw the place a couple of months ago.  This is a sacred place for a lot of people and the new owner respects the history of the Euclid Tavern.  Believe it or not, the sign is a reconstruction.  See www.euclid-tavern.com [1] as this develops. 

Cleveland's legendary Euclid Tavern rock club to re-open Friday, Jan. 25

For six-plus years, the Euclid Tavern was a bleak reminder of a heyday long gone. Well, the doors are open once again. At 9 p.m. Friday, the legendary bar, 11629 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, will celebrate its grand reopening with the JiMiller Band. Free. Call 216-231-7066.

"It's the old Euclid Tavern, but it's cleaned up," says co-owner Mike Ciofani. "We're going to be doing rock and blues, just like the old place, but we also have a new kitchen and we're serving food during the day."

The bar closed in 2001, after it lost its liquor license and went into foreclosure. Ciofani and his partners bought it a year and a half ago. "We spent eight months just trying to untangle the legal mess it was in," says Ciofani. "The bar was in such disrepair that it took about a year to make it ready for opening."
