This is without question my favorite bar in all of Las Vegas. Owners Christina and Pamela have cultivated something truly special in Downtown. The care they take with their hand-crafted cocktails is astounding considering the price is half what you would pay for a drink of lesser quality on the Strip. The music program they have established is filled with talented bands and Djs highlighting an eclecticism that is inclusive, not elitist. All the bartenders, including the girls themselves, are personable, knowledgable, and always working hard to maintain the quality that Velveteen Rabbit has established. Yes, when it is busy you may have to wait a bit for your cocktail because these are not rum and cokes (although you can order that if you prefer); these cocktails take time and care to prepare and they are absolutely worth it. I'm thankful this bar exists and you should be too.
P.S. Strange as it may seem in this town, Velveteen Rabbit is non-smoking! Appreciated and enjoyed.
