"Sisters Pamela and Christina Dylag’s ode to the children’s book in the Art District features trompe-l’oeil wallpaper and reclaimed furniture put together in smaller chatting areas. Cocktails here find inspiration from the Golden Age of mixology, each with their own story. Jewel-toned decanters sit inside a Queen Anne cabinet behind the bar while a series of gold hands make up the beer taps. The artsy menu rotates seasonally with exciting new combinations of flavors finding their way into vintage glasses and teacups. Sit on the patio or run your hand across the light-projected wall. On weekend evenings, make a reservation." - Janna Karel
"The cocktail program is consistently described as the most exciting and experimental in town — expect seasonal, original cocktails and barrel‑aged drinks, a rotating draft lineup of craft beers, and inventive specialties like the Burning Bush (Bols Genever, crema de mescal, fig shrub, peppercorn bacon bitters); it’s a place where bartenders push boundaries and guests often leave inspired or with ideas to steal." - Eater Staff
"A revived restaurant known for indulgent burgers and over-the-top milkshakes, reopening in the Las Vegas Arts District." - Janna Karel
"Maybe you ventured over to the Arts Factory for a little bit of culture, or you wanted to visit the chapel where Britney Spears got married. Either way, you’ve ended up in the Arts District, and you should check out Velveteen Rabbit before you head back to the Strip. This creative cocktail bar is constantly changing its menu using seasonal and house-made ingredients, like a drink with sundried tomato, olive oil, and black pepper mezcal. They’re also focused on local music and art, so chances are you’ll find a tarot reading or a psych-rock band playing among the vintage furniture and bottle chandeliers." - milena difiore
"The refreshed patio at Velveteen Rabbit offers an outdoor respite in pink. The seasonally changing cocktail menu, 12 beers on taps, as well as 18 to 20 bottled beers offer a range of drinks for imbibing. Unsure what to order? Ask for the punch, a daily special that’s often fruity and refreshing." - Janna Karel
