| - The awesome thing about living in Las Vegas is that this is one of the few cities where when people say, "Oh, I'll come visit you!"...they actually do. Granted, when they actually come, it might not be to see "you," per se, but it comes with the territory. 9 out of 10 visitors will almost always tell me they're interested in "seeing the locals' scene." That they're "sick of just always going clubbing." That "paying $18 for a measly shot is bullshit." Well. 9 out of 10 times, these same people still end up on the Strip, BUT...
...that other 1 out of 10? They get the fun privilege of seeing a lot of our hidden gems, one of which is Velveteen Rabbit, the brainchild of two hipsta' sistahs who opened this cocktail bar on Main just off Charleston downtown. Rich wood panels decorate the door just past the open patio, and inside there are mason jarred Edison lamps and mismatched chaise lounges to sit and relax.
And that's just the interior decor to boot. The cocktails themselves are a whole 'nother ball game. Each one is handcrafted and truly highlights the art of mixology - fresh juices and ingredients only, no substitutes! The pricing is reasonable too - most drinks are in the $8-$10 ballpark and there is no skimping on the liquor. The bartenders know you're here for a good time and give you a fair cut on the alcohol. The parking lot adjacent to the bar is pretty small, but it's in a part of DTLV that is not as crowded and condensed as Fremont Street, so street parking is viable.
Happy imbibing!
