Black Velvet

Love that this place now has live jazz Friday & Saturday 7-9pm! Always thought this venue was gorgeous but the music sucked, now with the name change seems like the music is better and the live jazz is great! Only complaint is I think the drinks are a bit over priced, $13 for a standard beer is kinda steep.

Sultry surroundings, comely cocktails and live music! This is a funky little cocktail bar with charming staff and Brooklyn circa 1930's decor. It's a little shabby around the edges, but this just adds to the charm. Stop in for something spicy, sweet or sour 🥃

Very cool cocktail bar in the style of an old school opium den. There was a jazz singer on site the Friday we went. The acoustics in the venue were super nice. We ordered a few drinks including a funky teapot which we all very much enjoyed. Everything was pretty clean, as far as bars go. To get the drink there was a wait however the floor service was really good. Lovely person coming around to clean the drinks with some small banter. In terms of dress code they are fairly relaxed which is refreshing. Nice crowd, would definitely go again. Unfortunately I didn't get many good photos.

Security at this venue is disgusting and needs to be fired. I have footage on my phone with them making a joke out of it. I entered to this premises with my partner, I was told I could not get in for no apparent reason. Everyone else around me was more drunk and it appears they only harassed me and no one else. They were trying to act superior and tough and telling me to walk in a line and do this and that. Disgusting behavior, little kids that can't get any other job.

I was disappointed when security asked me to stop recording because Of some human only one said not to it always takes one to spoil my night..also we couldn't talk to the dj

Very cool decor and great mix of people. Nice relaxing live blues. Was going to get busy when we left, 11pm. More cocktails than craft ales, only Tiger on tap but good selection of bottles. Well worth a visit.

Haven't been out for a long time and hit Bamboo tiger. It was pretty cool, they got loungers and stuff. Music was interesting and fun, golden oldies that I barely knew but my colleagues did. People were having a good time and it got pretty busy later

This once bustling cocktail bar used to be the heart of endless disco tracks and classy live jazz. Miss the vivacious vocals of jazz artist Lady Larissa, unfortunately haven't seen her perform here in ages. Unfortunately It's lost its essence of what once Shanghai lils used to be, a classy and refined establishment.
