A 1970s Desert Saloon for Upper West Side Cocktails
Sip and snack across the Front Saloon and Back Parlour at Velvet Cowboy on Amsterdam Avenue.
🌵 A Psychedelic Desert Detour
Velvet Cowboy takes the Upper West Side on a detour through the American Southwest of the 1970s. The reference is a psychedelic desert saloon, an unapologetically specific setting for a round of cocktails. Think retro escapism with your drink, with neighborhood hangout energy kept firmly in the mix.
Inside, the space divides into a Front Saloon and Back Parlour, creating two distinct interior zones for gathering. A lively atmosphere carries through the concept. It occupies a former restaurant location at 509 Amsterdam Ave in Manhattan, bringing its own identity to this neighborhood address.
Bar bites include smash burgers, chili cheese fries and the VcRib. Here, every food item costs five dollars, a detail to keep in mind when ordering something alongside the drinks. The bar also offers an online reservation link, giving you a way to arrange the gathering before heading over.
