(1)

Velvet Elk Lounge was born from the desire to create a small, funky, live music venue in Boulder where you can get a proper cocktail and listen to great, local music. When there's not a live band, check the calendar for DJ events, open mic nights, dance your pants off parties, and a host of other happenings. We also offer the perfect setting for private gatherings of all sizes, complete with the c

harm and flair that only the Velvet Elk Lounge can provide. Whether it's a lively party or an elegant soirée, let us set the stage for your special occasion. This space has been home to many Boulder businesses including a Cadillac dealership, a bowling alley, a long-standing travel agency, and now a palace of music and fun. Check the calendar, check the mirror, check yourself... hope to see you soon.

Boulder locals and Lounge favorites are joining us this Saturday 8pm! Since 2013, Wild Love Tigress has been working hard to bring 1970s-style funk and soul into the 21st century. An eight-piece band complete with horns, background singers and the full spectrum of hairstyles, Wild Love Tigress plays an energetic mix of hard-grooving funk and electric blues rock, combining danceable grooves with thoughtful songwriting and high-caliber musicianship.

We are just ONE MONTH away from a night with + The Cannons.

Grab your tickets and get ready for a night of sonic westward expansion of fuzzed-out guitars, saloon pianos, defiant horns, and dusty vocals, his discography blazes a new take on folk and soul while honoring the songwriting giants that paved the way before him like Jason Isbell, Bill Withers, and Chris Stapleton.

Named one of Denver’s most exciting new restaurants by 5280, is leaving the city for one night only — popping up at Boulder’s Velvet Elk Lounge on June 2nd.

Settle in for a 5-course family-style dinner that tells the story of two chefs: Travis Masar’s lifelong obsession with Asian cuisines and Darren Chang’s food memories growing up in a Taiwanese household — brought together by 25+ years of combined culinary experience. (The name? Their Chinese zodiac signs. Darren: Pig. Travis: Tiger.)

Expect Taiwanese classics, modern favorites, and bold new interpretations — all made with local Colorado ingredients. Optional beverage pairings available. Vegetarian options provided. $70 per person.
