The Velvet Elk is a lush, cozy speakeasy tucked away in Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood. This woman-owned craft cocktail bar features eclectic vintage decor and an intimate vibe that feels genuinely romantic. The downstairs main bar has enticing corners perfect for conversation, while upstairs is a spacious otherworldly living room lounge complete with board games, a typewriter, a zodiac vending machine, an acoustic guitar, and a movie projector for themed movie nights. Besides excellent cocktails, they serve house-made corn dogs and quality bar snacks. The bar is passionately committed to supporting women, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and local small businesses.
