Velvet 48 Wine Bar

Founded by 20-year wine industry veteran Jason Cooper, the bar balances cellar depth with accessible options, pouring over 40 wines by the glass alongside a cultivated beer list. The room is anchored by comfortable lounge sofas built for unhurried tastings. While the kitchen keeps a limited lineup, it turns out sweet and savory small plates—ranging from charcuterie boards to chocolate pairings—while staff steer selections with recommendations, often greeting arrivals with a splash of rosé.
