The sign on the door of Velvet Tango Room warns patrons against entering with golf shoes on. And while there's nary a golf course around for miles -- unless you count the two-hole putting green on the place's spectacular patio, which offers a view of the city skyline -- there is, however, a country-club atmosphere at the Velvet Tango. This smallish Ohio City bar is your typical neighborhood bar with a private room in the back which you can only entire if you know the password (just rent the space and they'll tell you). It's quiet for the most part, with live jazz emanating periodically from a piano at the far end of the bar. Known for its knowledgeable bartenders and rarified drink selection, the Velvet Tango Room is for the older crowd rather than rowdy hipsters looking for a hangout. Head to the patio when you get here: There nothing like enjoying live jazz music while you take in a beautiful view.

Paul hit the nail on the head when he built this bar from scratch 15 years ago. Always a good time.

Very classy joint, and I emphasise the word "joint". Very small and ULTRA EXPENSIVE for a neighborhood bar. One shot of 16 yr old single malt "Pinch" scotch and a chocolate martini set me back $28.00 plus a $6.00 tip!!!!!!

Very classy, off the beaten path. Great romantic after dinner lounge. Very small though.
