Downtown Austin · Est. 2019
The Velvet Fox
An unmarked door, a low light, and a very good drink.
Ink, then gin.
In 2019 we took over a shuttered letterpress print shop and left most of it exactly where we found it — the brick, the beams, the faint smell of ink. Where the presses once ran, there’s now a long brass-topped bar.
The Velvet Fox is a speakeasy in the old sense: dim, unhurried, and built for conversation. Come for a stirred drink, stay for the weekend jazz, and let the room do the rest.
