About this business

Fun place to go – I am new to LA and I recently went to the Velvet Margarita for the first time a few months ago. I naively thought it was an upscale punk club, ha, anyways...I was really pleasantly surprised by this place. I loved the decor. The dead Elvis motif, the puppets, pinatas, it was such an eclectic mixture but it all meshed surprisely well. I expected the drinks to be a lot more expensive but they were actually reasonable. All of their specialty drinks are around $10 and the drinks are pretty stiff which is fantas... read more
The Hollywood Scene – Went for a friend's birthday this passed weekend. Of course, Hollywood parking $10. On the good side, no cover charge. Some of the interior decorating I thought was a bit cheesy like the pinatas hanging. I did like the Mexican puppets. Got the pomegranate martini was really good, but then my cousin's was way too strong compared to the one I had. Outside patio was where the action was but I had a hard time breathing due to the smoke. Overall, the night was fun. Big con: no music to dance or vibe to.
decide for yourself Los Angeles... – who does this? who's life is apparently so pathetic and dull that one would "put aside time" in their day to trash a place of business in some feeble attempt to fill a void in their apparent lack of accomplishments. of course i've had less than enjoyable experiences at many restaurants, bars, etc., but never have i felt the urgency to spread such petty and childish garbage online when i could think of so many more positive things i could be doing with my time. if i ever have a disappointi... read more
Just okay... – I went to Velvet Margarita last night and I'd have to say that I'm disappointed. First, in response to a previous poster, I am going to complain about the parking. I've lived in L.A. for five years, and yes, parking is horrible... but charging your customers ten dollars to park is a crime. And if you know the area of Hollywood... there really aren't any other options, finding street parking in the evening is impossible. The margaritas (I had the classic) were just okay and were definitely outmatched by the scr... read more
Top notch fun – The Velvet Margarita never disappoints. Try their tamales --- OH MY GOD they are good. The food portions are huge, too! Great value for your money. The pomegranate margaritas are what dreams are made of. DE-LI-CIOUS. The staff is incredibly fun. It is always a great night out.
tasty drinks, neat atmosphere – Meant to post a while back, now I finally have time. Checked this place out with some girlfriends after drinks at nearby Citizen Smith, and really dug the atmosphere. I didn't stay long, but I drooled over the menu and the crowd seemed cool. I'll have to stop by again for those famous margaritas and some tamales. Seems like Cahuenga is the place to be!
best cinco de mayo ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – FREE DRINKS, FREE FOOD, AND THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN HOLLYWOOD! Mariachis and the red carpet completed a celeb & tequila fueled evening!! this is the only place to do Cinco De Mayo - all tequila drinks etc FREE!!! and a walk up mex food buffet - a fabulous fabulous night!!!! so many tv/film/music names everywhere it was def the place to be!
great vibe! – Please call me when Mario Lopez comes back to the velvet!! I love him! i have been a regular every week hoping I will be able to see him again. Besides my love for Mario I love your place as well so it makes it an easy hang waiting for my future husband!! Happy holidays to all of the nice people that work there!
Vegetarian options... – I love Mexican food but am rather hesitant to order dishes in restaurants because of the lard or chicken stock style of preperation, but not here! I asked for the details for their vegetarian menu and was pleasantly surprised. I had a spinach enchilada dish that was amazing! Cool music too!
