At Heritage Hall — Kittredge, CO

Velvet
Brim

A bourbon bar built from solid oak. Raw cowhide on the walls. Every bottle chosen with intent.

The Bar

Solid oak. Raw cowhide.
Every bottle chosen with intent.

Velvet Brim is the private bourbon bar at Heritage Hall — exclusively available as part of Heritage Hall event packages. It is not open for walk-in or general public service. When you book Heritage Hall, the bar is yours.

A bar built the way it should be — heavy materials, honest pours, no shortcuts.

The cowhide pieces behind the bar aren't decoration as an afterthought. They set the tone — natural, warm, a little rough around the edges. The solid oak bar runs the full length of the space, built to last and age alongside every event held here. Everything at Velvet Brim is chosen for quality, not convenience.

The Bar Top

Single-slab solid oak

Locally sourced solid oak, finished naturally. The grain runs the full length of the bar — no seams, no shortcuts. It ages alongside every event held in this space.

The Art

Raw brown cowhide pieces

Each cowhide panel is unique — natural cuts, natural markings, no two identical. They bring an organic, grounded warmth to a space built around craft.

The Selection

Focused, intentional, deep

The bourbon program is built around Kentucky and Tennessee classics, Colorado craft distillers, and single-barrel finds. We stock the right things, not everything.

Spirits

The bourbon program

American whiskey is the backbone of Velvet Brim. The list is curated and rotated — built around quality producers, not trend chasing. Available exclusively through Heritage Hall event packages.

Cocktails

Signatures from the Velvet Brim bar

Built around bourbon, built for the setting. Each cocktail starts with a great spirit and gets out of its way. Custom drink menus built around your theme, brand, or event are available for any Heritage Hall booking.

Blanton's Single Barrel

The Oak Room

Blanton's, house demerara, Angostura, orange peel. A proper Old Fashioned built slow and poured over a single large rock.

Bulleit Rye

Cowhide Negroni

Bulleit Rye, Campari, sweet vermouth, black walnut bitters. A rye Negroni riff that earns its place on a bourbon bar.

Stranahan's Original

Colorado Smoke

Stranahan's, lapsang syrup, lemon, egg white. Smoked, light, and surprisingly drinkable for something this complex.

W.L. Weller Special Reserve

The Weller

Weller, honey, lemon, ginger beer. Simple enough to order twice, interesting enough to remember. On the rocks.

Buffalo Trace

Hide and Barrel

Buffalo Trace, amaro, sweet vermouth, cherry. A Manhattan with depth — built for the space it's served in.

Four Roses Single Barrel

Brim Sour

Four Roses, lemon, simple, egg white, Angostura float. The house sour. Bright, balanced, one of the best things we make.
