About
Certified by Velvet Elk Lounge • Jul 12, 2026
BarCocktail LoungeEvent Venue
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 charm 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.

- JCJane CavanaroJul 9, 20265.0Magical venue
- JMJulie mcclanahanJul 7, 20265.0Fun vibe. Music. Good food!
- SHSteve HogeMay 31, 20263.0Count me in as a rabid new fan of Wild Love Tigress after seeing them at the (heartbreakingly under-promoted and under-sold) show at Boulder's Velvet Elk Lounge last night! Velvet Elk really dropped the ball by not featuring this show in their FB Event calendar, and leaving it up to the band to post upcoming show content to random posts on their IG and the lame "link in bio" fallback - not a winning strategy for attracting new fans. Can't wait to see them again at a more appropriate venue like Cervantes where they can draw the crowd of dance fans that they deserve and can really shine!
- LLLHVMay 26, 20265.0Came for a show and it was the most intimate venue with quality sound that I have been to. Definitely will keep an eye on the line up and would love to go back
- JJjackieMay 17, 20265.0what a fantastic music venue. it is such a small space that it feels very personal listening to the artists, almost like being in someone's living room. the first show we saw, Scott Taylor, was mostly standing room in the middle of the room with limited seating along the walls and rocking good time. last nights show, Donovan frankenreiter, was an acoustic show and they had seating. it was so intimate and wonderful. can't say enough about how great the venue is. and the talent they are getting here is incredible. thank you.
