Our Heritage

Print Shop Spirit, Classic Mixology

Concealed in a repurposed 1920s print shop since 2019, The Velvet Fox offers a sanctuary for discerning palates. We honor the building's history with every detail, from the tactile textures to the quiet hum of conversation.

Our philosophy centers on spirit-forward cocktails, meticulously crafted with hand-carved ice and premium spirits. We believe in the timeless elegance of a perfectly balanced drink, served in an atmosphere designed for connection.

Espresso Martini

The quintessential whiskey cocktail, balanced with bitters and a hint of orange zest, served over a hand-carved ice sphere.

A vibrant Italian aperitif, a perfect harmony of gin, vermouth, and Campari, stirred to perfection.

Our signature twist on a classic, infusing rye whiskey with subtle smoke notes, rich vermouth, and a dash of aromatic bitters.

A modern classic with a kick, blending fresh espresso, vodka, and coffee liqueur for a sophisticated nightcap.
