Went here after the game against Pittsburgh, in which the Dawgs won so this place was partying hard!! DJ had great music playing which made me stay longer than I normally would. No food served here, but the drink was nicely strong (thx bartender). Nice bar/club to attend after the game!

Friendly staff. Private event in a medium sized room which fit our group of about 25. The food was hot and tasty- chicken parm, eggplant parm, meatballs, salad, and various nuts/cheeses/crackers. The bartender made me delicious Absolut watermelon and lime juice with soda water cocktails at my request which was nice.

I love coming to the Velvet Dog during any and all sporting events for Cleveland. This entire street is filled with great places to catch some drinks with friends while watching a game. The only downside is that the venue usually has extremes when it comes to capacity. Either there is no one filling the large dance floor on the first floor or it's shoulder to shoulder with people. The cost of drinks is around $7 for a mixed drink and $4-5 for a canned beverage. The music is almost always the latest and greatest though. The best time to come if you like a crowd is Thursday-Sunday nights. Usually there is a dj pumping out jams for the crowds. During the weekday it's a little more empty if you like to have a venue to yourself!

This is more specifically a review for the rooftop on a Sunday before a Browns game. We figured it would be packed on a gorgeous, sunny, November Sunday when we were looking for a place to grab a drink before heading over to the game. But we were able to go up without any trouble and a really decent crowd, not too packed but busy enough to have life. The deck was really enjoyable. The best part was the great Bloody Mary bar, with various types of infused vodka, and a condiments bar to build the rest on your own. It was really delicious!

I am so glad Velvet Dog is able to stay open during COVID 19! Not only are the cocktails amazing but the staff always goes above and beyond with customer service. Each time I have gone social distancing measures have been in place, staff is wearing masks and I felt safe being there. I highly recommend checking it out!

My Boyfriend and I were here on 10/3/2020 as part of the "4th Annual Harry Potter Bar Crawl". This place has 3 floors and the downstairs bar was closed. I do not recommend this place if you are older than 57yrs old. There are about 25-30 steps to the 2nd floor which were tiring. We went to the Rooftop Bar area and sat on a couch. We drank a "Harry Potter" themed "Butterbeer" cocktail and it was kind of strong and didn't taste good so I had to chug it. This place wasn't "Harry Potter" themed decorated. There wasn't a DJ so we didn't dance to the music. We met some nice people.

HORRIBLE I went here with a group for our friend's birthday. The bouncer was extremely rude for no reason. He refused to let my friend in for wearing joggers but allowed others in wearing ripped up jeans and hoodies. At the end of the night, the bouncer made an unnecessary comment to one of us and got confrontational to where he shoved our friend (half his size) into me. I happened to be standing behind him and the force of his head almost broke my nose. None of us were wasted or acting unruly. The bouncer was on a powertrip. As for the rest of club, the drinks are watered down, the bartenders ignore you, and the music selection is poor. You're better off going to the Ivy down the street.

The worst absolute hospitality, the waitress escorted us out for putting a coat on the railing and then proceeded to cuss us out. Not a welcoming environment, do not recommend, don't spend your $ there!
