About The Velvet Hour
The Velvet Hour was born from a simple idea: the best performances happen when the room is intimate, the drinks are exceptional, and the audience is close enough to feel every word.
Nestled on Mill Avenue in Tempe, our 80-seat cocktail lounge combines old-world charm with modern craft. Candlelit tables, velvet curtains, and a stage that puts performers within arm's reach of the front row.
We host comedians, jazz musicians, spoken word artists, and improv ensembles — anyone with the talent to hold a room. Our craft cocktail bar serves original creations alongside timeless classics, because a great show deserves a great drink in hand.
The Velvet Hour isn't just a venue. It's an evening. A feeling. The kind of night you tell people about the next day.
