Velvet - Bend

It's a cozy, somewhat narrow spot in downtown with a fantastic atmosphere. There are two levels, both featuring a bar. The upper level is a bit larger than the lower one...

One of the most stunning bars in downtown Bend, offering incredible specialty cocktails. I suggest visiting earlier in the day, as it gets extremely crowded. There are...

Beautiful women flock me when I go. But I still wish they would bring back the old (pre-pie) menu. I want the BLT Sliders!

Small, slightly narrow place in downtown with a very cool ambience. Two levels each with a bar. The upper level is slightly larger (the space and the beams). The lower level seems like a bar overflow sometimes not even visited. It's not a problem that you go upstairs to get a drink. Sitting is eclectic, a lot of a lounge atmosphere, especially above where there are padded long seats. Velvet has a full bar and offers special drinks along with the usual exemptions. Small beer tap list. They have a limited menu, although what they have is generally good. It changes naturally. This week they only had Jackaroo Aussie-Piesen (probably Velvet bought the rest of Jackaroo's inventory that goes out of business). Regular menu to resume after these have gone. A rather small key music, although this may not always be the case, I don't know. With the small space it can be extremely crowded and in these days the Kovid, I will not be there during the busy times. The servers can also be overwhelmed with a packed house. With the small, probably overcrowded narrow space and with the upper floor is the better level, I cannot challenge Velvet for mobility. A OK; definitely a different kind of bar than most.

Make sure to visit Velvet before dinner. It features two bars, one upstairs and one downstairs, creating an elevated yet cozy atmosphere. The bartenders were both professional and friendly. On the night of our visit, there was an issue with the cash register, but the staff handled it smoothly and continued to prepare drinks to keep the line moving. We ordered a whiskey sour and a blueberry smash, both of which were visually appealing and delicious. We’ve already made plans to return the next time we're in town.
