    Crafty, Charismatic Bartenders, mixing the perfect, personal elixir! 🍷🍸🍺🥃 Loved the peaty old fashioned I got. Upon request, and palate options my bartender got to work. Mixed some scotches together, a hint of vanilla, and various other items that gave the drink so many dimensions. Really enjoyed this place solo. Even came back with some friends, where we were equally treated with great customer service. Swing on by for the best mix of value, quality, and atmosphere!

    We held our wedding reception here on the 12th May 2022 and I couldn't be happier. The responsiveness and helpfulness via email was great (I'm based in the UK so this was important as couldn't just pop in). The venue itself is beautiful, I don't think the pictures do it justice. The drinks were amazing and there was a welcome punch ready on our arrival. Jessie our server was amazing. All in all 10/10 would highly recommend :)

    FINALLY made it to the Velveteen Rabbit and it was worth every Pennie. The drinks were original and exceptionally crafted while the atmosphere was lux and relaxing. Make time to come for a drink - it won't disappoint. Plus the local food scene in this area is to die for. 8/6/2023 - my husband finally stopped by and didn't want to leave. I had to pour him into the car ..lol.

    Immediately walking into this place I knew I would be a fan, the whole vibe and decor was dope, and the dj was spinning some good stuff, the bartenders were nice and cordial, but you know when you gonna like a place you just get that feeling, from the name Velveteen Rabbit to the the bartenders I just liked this place, the interior was lowkey and sexy and chill

    This is the place to go in the Arts district for craft cocktails! Velveteen Rabbit is legendary for having the most outlandish cocktails in Vegas. And last night was no exception. My partner and I came on a Tuesday night, so we were seated immediately. On the weekends, you may not be able to get a table at all because of how busy it can get. I got a cocktail called the Cracker Jacker, and my partner got the Blue Ribbon Shortcake. Both drinks were excellent! Mine tasted like actual butter popcorn, I was shocked. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great time in the Arts district.

    Tasty and unique cocktails. This place has some super talented bartenders. Loved the ambiance. I wish I could have drank through the entire menu.

    Really good drinks and a good variety. Staff is super friendly. Beautiful venue. The inside is pretty dark but it goes with the “theme”. Outside sitting available. Near other shops and restaurants.

    Velveteen Rabbit is absolutely wonderful and a must stop if you’re visiting Vegas and in search of unique seasonal cocktails served by incredible curators and creators! I love trying the interesting and sometimes unimaginable flavors on the menu! Last but not least, be sure to check out their patio for some fresh air, photo-shoot-worthy backdrops, and a photo booth! Shoutout to all the J-named drink crafters including Jesse, Kaylee, Cam, & Dre and all other staff. You all are amazing!

    After a wait since it’s very popular (worth it) we got in and was amazingly surprised that this cocktail lounge is incredible! Such amazing bartenders asking what you prefer and can even make drinks based on your preference. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Joshua 5 months ago on Google • 123 reviews
    We used to go here weekly when we lived downtown. Awesome place! Probably one of our faves in Vegas. It’s in the arts district and overall has a really chill vibe inside. It was always nice and dark like a true lounge, some of the most unique and comfortable furniture ever in a bar, and the cocktails were very good and unique as well. Love music at night was always good and the end of the bar had video poker so you can get your gambling fix in as well. Highly recommend!

    What an awesome experience. Our bartender, Cam, was simply amazing! She curated special drinks to our tastes, knew all the science behind the drinks all while being super friendly. The rest of the staff was also really chill and nice. Great atmosphere, great drinks amd overall a wonderful time. Definitely coming back as I'm a local in Vegas.

  • 5/5 Phum A. 6 months ago on Google • 51 reviews
    The vibe is great for cocktail bar. We sit at the bar on Sunday night and ask for off the menu cocktail and she made it so perfect! It was a twist of paper plane with sage

  • 5/5 Tito M. 8 months ago on Google
    Very dim lights to set the vibe, bright pink to set the mood, and mixed drink to bring it altogether. Had a great time here and finally made it in too. Wasn’t too packed

  • 5/5 Elizabeth H. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped by with some friends at their recommendation and it was great! The drinks are creative and delicious. Employees are super friendly, and the vibe of the whole place is good too. Definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Derrick H. 3 months ago on Google • 30 reviews New
    I love the unique cocktails here! Some very outlandish and expertly crafted drinks to be had here. The atmosphere and service are also top notch. Definitely a great place to hang out if you like craft cocktails.

  • 5/5 Jana S. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a cool late-night bar. It was pretty dark, but not too loud to have a conversation. The chairs were stylish couches/loungers that were set by coffee tables. The dessert cocktail (gin-based) was incredible, even though I never order gin! Great conversation with the bartender about how each bartender creates their own cocktail for the menu--very impressive! Definitely recommend stopping in!

  • 5/5 Denice R. 6 months ago on Google
    Great craft cocktail bar! Saying Mary is an above par bartender is an understatement! Everyone from start to finish was absolutely kind and welcoming. The Halloween decor and seasonal cocktails were perfectly fitting. When I say this bar exceeded the expectation, I mean it!

  • 5/5 Ashley R. 2 years ago on Google
    RUN HERE....do not walk! If you are looking for the perfect cocktail bar with the best ambiance and mixologists, you have found it at the Velveteen Rabbit! ALL the cocktails we ordered were just out of this world. We even asked our bartender Bree to make a special drink for our friend and it came out absolutely perfect. She was SUCH a delight to chat with and I loved watching her work because she is so incredibly talented! Bree definitely made this experience one of a kind!

  • 1/5 Travis M. 2 years ago on Google
    The google listing said they’re open until 1:00 am. We walked in at 12:30 am and were immediately blocked (physically) by an employee, who bluntly informed us, “we stopped serving for the night.” We were shown the door. If you stop serving at 12:30, then you should update your hours to reflect that. And, in no instance should you treat would-be patrons as rudely as we were treated. I’m inclined to believe that whoever owns the place would have been willing to accept my money at 12:30. I’ll save my time and cash for a place with a friendlier attitude.

  • 1/5 Ashley K. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty excited to go here on vacation but they were closed. Didn't announce it on the website and tried calling several times but never got a reply. Doesn't help that they don't take reservations

  • 5/5 Santos G. 8 months ago on Google
    Quite the spot. Beautiful inside and the service was incredible. Probably the cheapest drinks I've had from such a wonderful venue. Will definitely be a regular

  • 5/5 Ian S. 2 years ago on Google
    This bar is absolutely amazing and way way comfy. The atmosphere is dark and vibey, with art on the walls reminiscent of Amano (final fantasy art) service is super friendly and have tons of information about the different drinks. The cocktails themselves are next level - they vary wildly in flavors and there is def one that will appeal to you. They also have a solid selection of beers if you're not into cocktails! Happy hour 5-7 $2 off cocktails and I think beer? Def worth checking out!

  • 5/5 N K. 3 years ago on Google
    Deliciousness and perfect cocktails!! All the drinks water just as pictured you could definitely taste all of the lairs of the cleverly created cocktails complemented by the meetly put together back patio. Nice rhat they have heated back area so you can't drink day and at night time. Complemented by beautiful flower mural it's a great place for a first date or a long time lovers

  • 5/5 Laura H. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing place! Best bar we visited in Vegas! We’re from Europe and they introduced us to 3 delicious European liquors that we hadn’t even heard off. Thanks so much for the wonderful welcome! <3

  • 5/5 Christina C. 9 months ago on Google
    Loved the atmosphere here! It was a circus theme which was different. I ordered sweet dreams and the hubby ordered flying trapeze and they was delicious! I liked my cotton candy garnish on my drink.

  • 4/5 Michelle D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place! Great original drinks, and they're even willing to customize. The bartender made me a delicious drink based on a few adjectives. Love the walls inside. Only 4 stars because the patio was less impressive in real life than the pictures, and the photo booth was too small to get good pictures with three people. Super friendly and helpful waitress!

  • 5/5 Jordan J. 1 year ago on Google
    I wasn’t even sure if the place was open when we walked up, but I’m so glad I pulled on the door anyway. We were immediately greeted and sat on a comfortable couch opposite the bar. One of the staff, Camille, began asking a few questions to get an idea of what we might like. She knew exactly what to ask apparently because out of 8 total cocktails we had, she didn’t miss a single time. Everything was delicious and the vibe in the bar is super laid back. This is definitely my new go to for bars in the Arts District.

  • 5/5 Ric R. 9 months ago on Google
    Such a unique experience. A speakeasy vibe with amazing cocktails with unique ingredients. Whether you get something from their seasonal selections or decide to go off menu the bartenders will take care of you.

  • 5/5 Scott 1 year ago on Google
    Low-key cocktail bar/lounge with a large patio in the back with outdoor tables. Servers very friendly and knowledgeable, table service as well. Lighting is very dark inside, so be prepared. The cocktails are very unique, and although they may not sound good on the menu, give it a shot and I thoroughly enjoyed trying cocktails with different flavors. Otherwise, tell them what you are looking for and they can work their magic!

    The cocktails selection is very unique. I liked the music in the atmosphere and it’s really cool the mix furniture. Good place to bring a group of like six. One of my favorite in Vegas so far.

  • 5/5 Larry C. 1 year ago on Google
    People say that you don't go to Vegas for the cocktails. Those folks just haven't been to the Velveteen Rabbit. Our drinks were amazing and the bartenders were even better. They take pride in their craft and it shows. Sitting at the bar is itself a masterclass in proper shaking, stirring, and mixology. We can't wait to return.
