The Velvet Tango Room’s dark, classy ambiance transported us back to the Prohibition era, creating a unique and memorable atmosphere. The only element that could have elevated the experience further would have been the addition of live music, perhaps some smooth jazz or a soulful piano performance. The service was excellent, with staff being both accommodating and attentive. Although my girlfriend and I stayed for just one drink, we shared the goat cheese dip, which truly stole the show. The whipped goat cheese was perfectly complemented by candied bacon, sweet dates, and a drizzle of hot honey. Paired with crispy crostini, each bite was a delightful balance of flavors and textures. Our cocktails were skillfully crafted, making The Velvet Tango Room a great choice for well-made drinks and delectable small bites. If you’re seeking a place with exceptional cocktails and a cozy, nostalgic vibe, The Velvet Tango Room is definitely worth a visit.

Hands down the best cocktails in Cleveland. The Tango Manhattan is incredible. The atmosphere is sophisticated and romantic. The live jazz is lovely. And if you don’t drink alcohol, there are plenty of nonalcoholic options to allow you to fully enjoy the atmosphere.

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.

Here for the vibes! It's giving speak easy and I love it. Came here while bar crawling around Ohio City and it was a nice cap to the night, but I definitely wasn't in dress code haha. The wait staff was very polite and our drinks were beautifully crafted. You can tell the ingredients are good quality. It's definitely pricey and I have yet to try the food, but I would come here again.

Incredible atmosphere - from an unassuming outside, walk into a speakeasy style bar with dim lights and live music. Bartenders and servers highly knowledgeable and can make recommendations - the menu is very long! Delicious drinks but pricey!

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!!

Came for the cookies & cocktails workshop. Nicely done. The speaker was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about bourbon. Beautifully decorated in the backroom for the holidays as well. Staff was pleasant and engaging as usual. Drinks were tasty as well. Can't wait to come back!

We actually chose to have a small wedding here, and it couldn't have been a better experience. The staff was so kind and accommodating throughout the entire planning process and the day of. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves! VTR will forever hold a special place in my heart!

A Cleveland Gem. We popped in here on our last night in town & stayed for hours we enjoyed it so much. Low lights, cozy ambiance, jazz softly filling the room, and cocktails that are true works of art. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced drinks..timeless. Live piano music by Don made it the perfect note to end our trip on . Note: didn’t have the food but everything we had here was top notch. Just go already! Cheers

As we walked around Ohio City looking for something fun and different, we found a lot of local places we went to were lacking decent service. When we walked into Velvet Tango we were immediately greeted, sat, and welcomed into this calming ambiance with live jazz music. The drinks were fantastic and the service was top notch.
