- ErinSeptember 11, 2016live jazz, a giant book of cocktails (including 3 kinds of Manhattans), a secret room and garden in the back? what's not to love?
Le Ricain en OhioMarch 7, 2013Honestly the VTR holds its own to NY staples like PDT and Death & Co, and goes beyond with really good jazz. VTR has recreated another time with perfection - drinking that in is as good as the drinks- Ivo TzvetkovAugust 12, 2019If you are looking for a classic cocktail made right this is your place. A hidden gem in an area famous for prohibition era bootlegging. An added bonus is the live jazz music performances.
Teddy EisenbergOctober 23, 2015The best traditional cocktail bar in Cleveland. Go between 4-7pm on weekdays for happy hour prices.
Madeleine RootDecember 2, 2014Awesome spot for a cocktail!! The menu reads like a book... looking forward to going back!
Nick RinaldiSeptember 15, 2011Having been to similar speakeasies in NYC & Sydney, I can say this place has the chops to be world class. Try the widows kiss!
Lucille WingardApril 11, 2013I love the way everything is made fresh and to order, I love the entire concept of this upscale, elegant establishment!
Matty StevensonAugust 5, 2016Holy cocktail! Love how they split the menu into sections for ginger, lime, etc.
Dave GervaseJuly 31, 2012The Lime Fizz is amazing. Probably the coolest place in Cleveland. A great find on a recent trip.
Ashley MarieMay 23, 2015amaretto sour was amazing! their drinks are truly an art and it is what they are noted for

Gary FoxJuly 31, 2011Great time fantastic atmosphere... drinks are excellent, best in cleveland. First time here but will definatly be back
Food & WineApril 21, 2011A piano player accompanies the clinking of perfectly square ice cubes at this swank, living room–like cocktail purists' hangout.
Shawn TurnerDecember 7, 2014Three words: India Lime Fizz. Don't think about it. Just order. You're welcome.
Soul TrainApril 19, 2011Sexy, sophisticated, and unapologetically jazzy. When the weather's nice, hang on the back patio & cool yourself in the piano melodies.
Best sazerac cocktail I've had outside of New Orelans. Peychaud's bitters and all. If you're serious about your cocktails, you'll dig this place.
The best cocktails you will ever find in Cleveland.
Try the Rangpur Gimlet or the Ramos Gin Fizz - Michael Symon voted the Lime Fizz the "Best Thing He Ever Drank" and I agree.
Destination ClevelandSeptember 16, 2013Drinks are $10 vs. $18 and happy hour goes all night on Mondays.- Destination ClevelandSeptember 22, 2011Are you the designated driver for a group heading to the Velvet Tango Room? If so, no worries. Their Shirley Temple is aaaaawwwwesome.
One of Cleveland's best kept secrets. Don't be afraid to try something new
Wendy KrausJune 27, 2012Old school + new school = cocktail awesomeness! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
The Hair Thing of Tom’s RiverAugust 24, 2012Great place for a cocktail! I loved the atmosphere here...
You haven't had a Manhattan till you've had it Tango Style.
Jake SmithJuly 28, 2013Gentlemen, remove your hats and drink out of your glass, not through the straw.
A.j. MinerNovember 3, 2013If would like to wait 25 minutes for drinks come here. Place has gone down hill big time from the cool little speakeasy it used to be
Just relax and trust the great staff's recommendations. They will always lead you to the right direction.
