The Velvet Elk

A fun and swanky little cocktail lounge with a speakeasy vibe! We went to the loft seating that overlooks the main bar. If you love booze forward style drinks (aka vintage or speakeasy style), this is the place for you! Great for small groups — space is limited compared to some.

This place is so lovely! The ambiance is unparalleled. Andrea took care of me and made me the most delicious cocktails that were off menu. The menu is great too! Corndogs?! It’s a beautiful place.

Pretty cute little neighborhood bar with fun vibes and friendly staff. I thought their drink was pretty and tasty. I had a none alcohol old-fashioned and it was pretty very good. You can not tell it was a none alcoholic drink. The price is Seattle standard. 17 to 18 for a drink. They had a small snack menu so eat before you be here. I had their vegan corn dog, it was surprisely tasty. This place is conveniently located near me, likely I will return for more yummy tequila cocktails.

This is definitely a locals bar. With unique charm. Comfortable used furniture and felt art. And a cacophony of color coming from strips of light. Go upstairs to play a board game The owner is super nice, so you be to. Excellent drink some snack stuff but no real food. No matter my favorite place to visit when in Seattle.

Such a cute place! Service is very slow, though. We were there an hour and only had time for one drink…..also would love to see more vodka drinks on the menu because it’s really heavy on the dark liquors. Drinks are not cheap but there’s nowhere you can get cheap craft cocktails in Seattle anymore.

Friends and I went for a Halloween Event. First, Venue--super eclectic décor which ranged from space paintings, retro wallpaper, velvet cushy pillows & chairs with colored lights. The atmosphere is worth going for. Menu-busy Halloween party, corn dogs slapped + pringles were nostalgic. There is a pizza place next door & you can bring food in (recommend if you have food limitations or want big food meal with your beverages, I think normally they do have a small bites menu). Drinks were curated special for that night, but that was one of the strong points—seeing crafted cocktails & the drinkware glasses were excellent choice to highlight each cocktail. Looking forward as each season changes & how the cocktails change. They sell house bitters—I ended up getting their Velvet Elk blend & Vanilla—fun little thing to pick up for the home kitchen bartender. My friends enjoyed their experience, everyone there was friendly staff & it seemed it drew in other individuals who were friendly/respectful. Would recommend & love to go back to.

Ordered 2 drinks. Fancy glasses but nothing special. They asked me and my friend to get up and give our seats. It was way too soon in my opinion and could have been handled much better.

We stopped by after dinner at Mioposto. It is unique place and cool set up. I do like the painting. My friends wanted drinks after dinner. The bartenders were very attentive.
