Affectionately known as Velvet, this is my home base bar. It’s seven blocks from the house. As soon as they see me heading toward the door, an ice cold beer is waiting on the bar.

Blake runs a nice happy hour until 9: Mondays - $2.75 wells, Tuesdays - $2.75 wells and domestic bottles, Wednesdays - $2.50 domestic pints, Thursday - $3.75 U Call It, Friday - Wine Night. My personal favorite would be the long necks.
There’s seating inside for about 50 people. Darts, trivia, TVs and a nice juke box round out the package. They occasionally have music on Friday and Saturday nights. You typically do not see the crowds till later in the night, but I run the early shift and am gone before the throngs of people hit.
The Velvet does not serve food, but there are many choices close: Los Cucos (ask for Ted), Texadelphia and Quizno’s. Go for the cheap drinks and great service. Tell um I sent ya.
