No, it’s not the iconic 1960s American rock band, although this club is just as influential in its own right. Velvet walls laced with psychedelic posters from the Avalon ballroom collection in San Francisco flank you from the moment you enter. If that doesn’t rouse your senses, letting your bottom nestle in a Philippe Starck original and tripping out on artwork by Andy Warhol and Keith Haring will. A magnet for those who like to stand out, Velvet oftens hosts a local celebrity or two, and sometimes an international one grooving to the beat. The most expensive of the three outlets at Zouk, it drips with sophistication and is definitely a bang for your buck.
