The Velvet Elk

"If Unicorn on Capitol Hill took a chill pill and grew up a little bit, the result would be The Velvet Elk—a two-story neighborhood spot in Mount Baker. This place is perfect for a low-key weeknight hang: there’s colorful black-lit wall art, excellent cocktails, squishy living room furniture, and a food menu that exclusively involves homemade corn dogs. They even have some decks of cards if you want to challenge your friends to a game of Egyptian Rat Screw." - Aimee Rizzo

"When you want your surroundings to scream “bar” but you don’t actually want there to be any screaming, head to The Velvet Elk. This place is perfect for a low-key weeknight hang, because not all birthdays fall on a Saturday. There’s colorful black-lit wall art, excellent cocktails, comfortable living room furniture, and homemade corn dogs to go with your Old Fashioned. They even have some decks of cards if you want to challenge your friends to a game of Egyptian Rat Screw while you sip a couple of drinks." - aimee rizzo
