The Velvet Room: Cocktail lounge & live jazz
The Velvet Room · Noir

Tap lists change weekly and cocktail menus follow the season. Printing them is a losing game. With spotmymenu you swap a keg or a cocktail from your phone and it's live on every table and coaster QR code. Dark mode keeps the menu readable, and easy on the eyes, in a dim room.

  • Rotating taps

    Add, hide or mark a beer sold out the moment the keg kicks.

  • Happy hour on schedule

    Specials that appear at the top of the menu for exactly the dates you set.

  • Made for low light

    Dark mode follows the guest's phone, or set it as the default.

  • Food and drinks together

    Bar bites, cocktails, wine and beer in clear sections with a sticky section bar.

Why it works

  • Signatures · Classics · Small plates: house creations are kept apart from the standards.
  • Noir with a rose accent, elegant in both light and dark mode.
  • Jazz Thursdays is an event special: a live trio and two signature cocktails for one price.

Themes aren't tied to a cuisine

Copper Kettle Brewing runs on the BBQ Smokehouse theme. Morning Ritual Café uses the fine-dining Ivory theme. Hickory Hollow smokes brisket on Modern. Pick the look that fits your concept, then make it yours with an accent color.

Example restaurants are fictional. The menus are real spotmymenu menus.

Best practices

Menu design tips for bars & breweries

  1. 01

    Style, ABV and story for every pour

    “Hazy pale ale with local mango. 5.9%.” One line helps guests choose and sells the local angle.

  2. 02

    Keep signatures apart from classics

    Your house creations deserve their own section. Classics reassure guests who know what they like.

  3. 03

    Sell flights

    Tasters and flights turn indecision into a bigger order, and a reason to come back for a full pour.

  4. 04

    Food is part of the drink menu

    Bar bites and small plates in the same menu keep guests longer and lift the check.

  5. 05

    Make events specials

    Live music, pint night, tap takeovers. Put them at the top with a date and a price.

  6. 06

    Mark rotating taps as New

    When a keg kicks, mark it sold out and add the next one. Label it New so regulars spot it.
