Jeremy’s favorite team?
Whichever one brings 30 people. 😂
All jokes aside, that’s kind of the point.
Velvet Oak was built to give different Houston communities a neighborhood spot to call home — sports clubs, coworkers, friends, families and anybody looking for somewhere easy to bring people together.
And with holiday season coming up, you don’t need an expensive private venue just to get everybody in the same room.
Bring the office. Bring the family. Bring the group chat. Bring the fan club.
No room fees. Flexible group options. Daily food + drink specials. And yes, Jeremy probably owns a shirt for your team too.
DM Velvet Oak Tavern and let’s get your holiday party on the calendar.

You don’t always need the steakhouse price tag to have steak night.
Every Monday, our steak-night pop-up with Bourbon Butter Steaks brings a rotating menu to Velvet Oak Tavern with steaks, changing specials and even seafood options to keep things interesting from week to week.
Come as you are, grab a drink, see what’s on the menu and make yourself comfortable.
And since it’s Monday at Velvet Oak, you can pair dinner with our half-off wh***ey special.

Perfect time to trauma dump
Whether your team wins, loses, or gets held without a touchdown, Velvet Oak Tavern is still here when you need a drink and somebody with problems completely unrelated to yours.
We’ve got the games on all Sunday, the kitchen stays open until 1 AM, and if you work in the service industry, ask us about the industry discount.
Before work. After work. Or when you need to recover from whatever your team just did to you.
Sundays at your Houston neighborhood bar.

Come grab some chicken & waffles, catch the games, bring the dog and enjoy the patio while the weather’s cooperating.
Brunch, sports, cold drinks and a neighborhood bar to hang out at all day.
And if you can’t make it early, no worries — the kitchen stays open late.

Every Thursday night, it’s trivia time at Velvet Oak Tavern.
Grab your crew, claim a table, and put all that random knowledge to work.
Trivia starts at 7 PM every Thursday, so come early, grab some food and drinks, and settle in before the questions start.
Don’t forget to bring your smartest friends!
