Velveteen Rabbit has been on my list of places to go to for quite a while, over a year i believe. I just never found the time to go as well as the Arts District isn't somewhere i normally hang out. Couple that with the lack of good eateries in the area pretty much sums it up: There's a hyped up bar in the middle of hipster-ville without that many restaurants within drunk walking distance.

Given the opportunity to finally go to VR i've realized how much time i've wasted not going here. The cocktails are original, creative, and down right delicious.
Specific drinks i cant remember the names of and i'm sure they'll rotate the menu every few months to keep things fresh.
One noticeable thing are they way they make their Old Fashions. I merely took a sip another's cocktail but they mix it differently. Not sure what kind of bourbon was used by the bitters and citrus are the same that i use, know, and love. The flavor was off in a way that makes me want to discover how they did it so i can have it all the time.
So in conclusion:
- Not my crowd or type of atmosphere but i can look past it all with the right company.
- Try to come early as the later it get the more crowded it gets and conversation will be a tad difficult with the noise level ever increasing.
- Parking...LoL Good luck
K'Oyacyi!
