Velvet Tango Room - Cleveland

Happy hour cocktails and a jazz combo keep the beat going at VTR.

Stepping inside this place felt like stepping back in the 30s.

Such an awesome experience! I have a favorite (very old-school) cocktail. Whenever I order it at various establishments, if there is ANY hesitation by the bartender I cancel the order because that tells me they either are not true mixologist or they don't have enough knowledge or experience yet. That's okay! At The Velvet Tango Room, I had no hesitation! I knew I was in the right establishment! I told the bartender what I liked. She made an excellent suggestion. Asked me the perfect questions to determine if I would like it. Then, it poured me an outstanding hand-crafted cocktail that was perfect! While I sat and slowly enjoyed it I overheard her gently quizzing another patron to determine what to suggest for him. I'm very impressed! The atmosphere is conducive to conversation and comfortable for those that might enter alone. There's a wonderful hidden (and private) gem of a space that is perfect to entertain your guests or colleagues. I can't wait to return again again!

The ginger was so strong/spicy that it made me and my date cough after taking a sip of a Moscow mule. Drink was so bad I just ordered a different one which at $20 a cocktail is a little insane. Didn’t feel like I had an expertly crafted drink like I used to recall this place being popular for.

Cool jazz trio, fun mocktails, well dressed clientele, and a busy Saturday night. The place had it all for us.
