I have been here once before and both times, right after Lady Silvia.... Which was a bust AGAIN.
I took my girlfriend visiting from AZ here on a Friday night, actually First Friday, and to my surprise it was very mellow. A lot less of a crowd than I thought... Which was great! Our bartender {Alex, I think} was awesome, he was very friendly and made great drink suggestions, playing detective to find out our usual likings. The presentation of the cocktails was so unique and artistic, we were definitely impressed! PS our derrricious handcraft cocktails were only $8/ea.... AMAZING!!!
Miss Jordan keeps saying how much she loved it so we'll definitely be back soon! Thanks Velveteen for rockin our world!
Sometimes you sit around and hate on hipsters because they drink 'silly, overpriced cocktails'. Well, sometimes hipsters drink those 'silly, overpriced cocktails' and are happy that you stayed at home. Such is the case at Velveteen Rabbit. If this 'hipster haven' keeps serving up well-crafted cocktails (at a decent $8 price), interesting craft brews and rockin' good tunes, consider me a hipster, because I'm going to be a regular here. The furniture, exposed brick and Edison bulbs add a nice vibe to the place and the crowd (even on a Friday at 1am) isn't overbearing. Sick of a rum and coke? Give your taste buds a ride and come here for a drink.
