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

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.
The Oak Room
Blanton's, house demerara, Angostura, orange peel. A proper Old Fashioned built slow and poured over a single large rock.
Cowhide Negroni
Bulleit Rye, Campari, sweet vermouth, black walnut bitters. A rye Negroni riff that earns its place on a bourbon bar.
Colorado Smoke
Stranahan's, lapsang syrup, lemon, egg white. Smoked, light, and surprisingly drinkable for something this complex.
The Weller
Weller, honey, lemon, ginger beer. Simple enough to order twice, interesting enough to remember. On the rocks.
Hide and Barrel
Buffalo Trace, amaro, sweet vermouth, cherry. A Manhattan with depth — built for the space it's served in.
Brim Sour
Four Roses, lemon, simple, egg white, Angostura float. The house sour. Bright, balanced, one of the best things we make.
