| - My favorite bar in Vegas. When it comes to drinking, I'm not fancy. I usually get something dark on the rocks or a vodka soda when I'm at a bar, but I'm not gonna lie, I enjoy a good cocktail prepared by a knowledgable mixologist--which is what Velveteen Rabbit is all about. They've got a wide selection of beer and a full bar, but you'd be crazy not to try a cocktail mixed by the expert hands and palates of the talented folks behind the bar.
I came here with a large group of friends on a Saturday night around 9:30ish. Good crowd-- a little hipstery, but what do you expect from the middle of the arts district? The bar was uniquely decorated, with a folk art feel. There were actually paintings hung up on the walls that were being sold, as if it were a gallery. The couches were all pretty and velvety. There's a cute patio area to sip your drinks and smoke, since there's no smoking in the bar. The bar area got crowded fast, but it wasn't too difficult to find a seat elsewhere. Chill, laid back music was playing, nothing too loud or obnoxious.
My favorite cocktails of the night include the (1)Crucifix in a Death hand--which kind of reminded me of a really good Manhattan; (2)God's Gift--a tasty, citrus, sparkling cocktail; (3)The Moon is Rising--a cocktail served with a little chocolate chip cookie; and (4)a cognac sparkling cocktail that the bartender, Alex, had fixed me up--it was good! Don't be afraid to let them make you something!
Definitely enjoyed myself there! For $8 a cocktail, you really have nothing to lose! Can't wait to go back!
