Very nice place, awesome jazz bands. Great vibe, the drinks are very well crafted! Handmade, made with care and the service is top notch.
I love this place!! My wife and I have been here a number of times because we love the vibe and the atmosphere here, but most of all we love the food and drinks here too. The staff here are masters of the cocktail making craft and I have to say I’ve never once had a bad tasting cocktail and the consistency of the cocktail making process is flawless. I can’t recommend this place enough for the perfect evening experience with live music at times. If your a cheese and meats lover then get the board, you’ll love it!!
Found this place based on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The cocktails are some of the best we've ever had and John our bartender ensured they were top quality and that we were enjoying them! The charcuterie and cheese trio was really tasty as well. We were there during happy hour which saves $5 off your drinks. Before we left, we told John we wanted to try one of each of the dessert cocktails to share, so he expertly made them and split them for me and my husband. Truly couldn't have had a better experience! If you're looking for excellent craft cocktails you need to check this place out!
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!
Visited once and had a tremendous experience. The vibe is outstanding and whatever essential oils they have going on make it all the better. The staff are well suited to the environment and the drinks are on point. Seán as the expert bartender made all the difference with his superb recommendations and great tastes. I took his recommendations and it made the evening remarkable. 5 stars.
What a night. Thank you ladies for giving us lots to drink. These ladies know how to make cocktails.
It gives a very laid back old school bar kind of feel. The bar tenders are always in point with the drunks and know a lot about the craft of bar tending. Live piano music and mood lighting. Great to just hang out relax and catch up with friends or have a cozy date night. Food options are limited so don’t expect to have a full meal. This is more of a cozy lounge. One of our fav spots for sure.
What a great find. Was looking for a low-key classy bar during my short stay in Cleveland for a conference. This place did not disappoint. Drinks are top notch. Jon the bartender made the night! He was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions in great detail. He even made some one-off drinks for us based on our preferences. Jon made note that I liked Islay scotches and extra went out of his way to make my next mixed scotch drink with an Islay scotch. That’s truly customer-oriented service. The drinks and experience are worth the price.
Authentic, high quality, and magical (if you bring the right date). A bar filled with stories if you take in the ambiance and listen. Hand-crafted drinks by people who genuinely care about your experience.
Go after dinner when the moon is out, the jazz band is on fire, and everyone is feeling the nights mysterious embrace. Let it out and experience what the night holds for you in that cozy and dreamworthy corner of Cleveland.
Absolutely loved this place. Great environment and live music. The bar tender (wonderful lady with short silver hair) was amazing. Worked with my table to find the best choice for each of us and was super friendly. The drinks were delicious. I wished I lived in the Cleveland area so I could come back more often!
10 out of 10!
All I can say is wow. The drinks were FANTASTIC. The service, even better. The bartenders were by far the best I have ever encountered and truly had a passion for craft cocktails and their customers satisfaction. They went every extra step to ensure we had the best experience and it genuinely gave me a renewed hope for the service industry.
If you don't mind investing in the price of craft cocktails and want a gorgeous atmosphere with live pianists in the background on the best quaint patio in cleveland (IMO) then look no further. This place will blow you away, if you're visiting from out of town-- don't overlook this hidden gem
Velvet Tango Room continues to earn it's place as an icon. Understated and friendly. Mixed drinks half price for happy hour. That phrase, though, does not give you the concept that this is one of the premier places in the U.S. for mixed drinks.
Excellent drinks every time. The live music provides a lovely atmosphere!
I got the French 75 but with a infused mezcal instead of gin. It was different but delicious. So many fun cocktails to try!
Best mixed drinks I’ve ever had in Cleveland. Their drink list is literally a book with a huge variety of drinks and different liquors. Not the cheapest drinks in town but the quality is second to none.
Cool jazz trio, fun mocktails, well dressed clientele, and a busy Saturday night. The place had it all for us.
