It has that goodwill store smell like everything to sit on came out of a flooded basement. The night I went (6-20-09) they had the worst DJ I have seen in so long he could clear a dance floor faster than a machine gun. This old time DYKE bar is just not fun. The drinks are cheep and not half bad but one is plenty then the door starts calling you to leave. Not that friendly, terrible un-danceable music. dark and smelly what more could you ask for.<br><br><small><a href='http://eastbay.gaycities.com/bars/2098-velvet'>Read more reviews at GayCities Oakland / East Bay</a> and see photos, maps and reviews of Velvet and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants</small>
