Editorial Review for Velvet Dog – by Jen Girdish
The Scene
Velvet is the correct term. The walls are a deep red; vintage lamp shades dangle from the ceiling; the artwork is lush and striking--it's a lounge with texture. The leather booths give you more than adequate close quarters to make the first move. The rather large patio is opened up in the warm weather; challenge your date to a bit of flirty competition in bocce ball.
The Draw
Martinis. If you like your 'tinis traditional, they've got smooth and dirty ones. If you like yours with frills, they serve cosmopolitans or Blue Moons with Malibu rum, blue Curacao, pineapple juice and a splash of milk. Don't worry--they're all equally powerful.

The Velvet Dog has changed a bit lately, though it's still a great place to have some drinks. I'm disappointed they removed the bocce ball court from the patio, but the new bar IS definitely an improvement. It's nice in the warm weather to shoot some pool outdoors. This bar has lots of nooks and crannies for more intimate conversation, yet you can also always meet someone interesting and new. Fun times fun times.

I always enjoy the dog... sometimes it gets a little to crowded for my taste but always top notch service and drinks.
