Been wanting to try Velvet Tango for forever as I've heard so many good things about it! It lived…read moreup to the hype. The interior is huge and dark, romantic, and vibey. There was a live jazz pianist in every room. The ambiance was great. Keep in mind they don't have dinner food, just bar snacks, so don't come expecting a meal. The drinks were definitely pricey, especially for Cleveland (~$20 per drink, give or take), so I don't plan on coming frequently, but it's a fun spot for a night out.

We recently tried Velvet Tango Room for the first time and we walked in immediately impressed. Well…read morestaffed, dim lighting, and cozy cocktail tables and bar. I had a margarita and an espresso martini and both cocktails exceeded my expectations! The lime margarita was classic, slightly tart, and made me want another. The espresso martini was enjoyed by all - very smooth, full of flavor without making you feel full like some do because of too much cream, I assume. The space is cool, speak easy vibes, and the gentleman playing the piano was a nice tough with an ideal volume.

Fun atmosphere and a good find. My friend and I had a wonderful time here. The drinks were…read moredelicious! A bit pricey though, so be warned. My drink was almost $20. Also, the menu makes it sound like the drinks will be a little showy. For example, the drink I ordered said it would be poured out of a Bible. It was called "the blessing." And my friend's was supposed to be served in a piggy bank. And other drinks say they will be served in pineapples, have a fire element, etc. Which sounded super fun! However, it must have just been part of the speakeasy bit? Our drinks were normal cocktails served in normal cocktail glasses. A bit disappointing, so be warned if you are like us and were expecting some razzle dazzle!

This place is awesome. It's a total dive bar when you walk in - which is great. However, to your…read moretotal surprise, the patio is this incredible, updated area.

We had been meaning to go for so long and we are so happy we did. The tiki bar decorations are amazing. They have patio seating and seating inside. I would recommend reservations because they get very busy. Phillipino food compliments their cocktails. They have different menu items based on the days of the week. The cocktails are categorized by alcohol content and have cute tiki bar related names. The server recommended the lumpia and it did not disappoint. Porco is definitely a place to visit again.

We both sat at the bar but I did notice a few tables and chairs. He bought a Jack & Coke (Jack Daniels) and commented that it was good but a bit pricey. I didn't get anything since I don't drink alcohol (but you can find me sipping on white wine, once in a blue moon...haha). The bar itself is nice. It's a small bar. The staff is friendly. The vibes inside is cool - my friend and I spoke with two women while we were in there who were funny. As I entered just after 10pm, I noticed some band members leaving. It would be nice if Brothers Lounge had some live music for the late night crowd (between 10pm to 11:30pm). Overall, this is a cool weekend night spot to checkout. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 124/250 total reviews in 2026 - 965 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 June 2026

Our biggest hesitation was…read moreneither of us had tried a hookah before, but we weren't given much of an option once we found out they were having an emo night. We arrived around 10pm and it was a nice-sized crowd for first timers. You could tell they had a bunch of regulars, which is comforting when trying a new business. Unfortunately, I don't recall the flavors we tried, but it came highly recommended. They told us to pick a seat and they'd bring everything out for us. They were also kind enough to show us how to put it together and use it without embarrassing us lol. We stayed for about 2 hours and there was a pretty decent crowd by the time we left. Honestly, if I didn't stay so far, we'd probably be here on a regular basis. This is place to take your friends if you're looking for a laid back night, while still looking for the "going out" experience.
