The Velvet Tango Room has traditionally carried the flag for traditional cocktails. The bartenders work in an age-old trade that only a select few have mastered. To achieve a consistent balance of tastes in traditional cocktail displays needs time, attention, patience, and precision. There is no turning back once you’ve had a VTR cocktail. They have merged traditional methods with contemporary technology to exhibit classic cocktails at their very best. Each drink is carefully prepared with natural, fresh ingredients.

Since it opened in 1996, the bar has been well-known for its alcoholic high-end cocktails and laid-back, speakeasy-like ambiance. The upscale bar takes great pride in its classic hand-crafted drinks, which are produced from its secret recipes and weighed to the gram. Patrons enjoy refreshing drinks with live music from pianist musicians and the Jazz Trio (John James, Bradford, and Skip). The front bar and lounge area are first come, first served basis.

For designated drivers, Velvet Tango Room offers alcohol-free selections. These include Mango Nojito, Virgin Mary, Not So Fuzzy Navel, Johnny Appleseed, and Banana Foster. Customers can pair alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages with small bites, like charcuterie, smoked salmon platter, and the Mediterranean (fresh vegetables, hummus, olive tapenade, and warm pita).
