The Velvet Freeze Daiquiris

When you come to 18th and Vine - everyone seems to gravitate to this spot at least once. Currently have been twice during the day - once during the height of COVID, and the other during Juneteenth weekend.It may be a little frozen daiquiri spot,  but it definitely gives a club vibe(which is good) as the music is booming and there is normally a line - so I can imagine what it's like during after hours.Unfortunately with their business model - all the drinks are pre-mixed so there is no telling how much alcohol you are getting in one drink. There is no guarantee you are getting your money's worth. They do sell separate shots to throw in your drink, but one shouldn't have to resort to buying a separate shot when the drinks are priced the way that they are.Speaking of pricing, ooooh wheeeee - received two drinks - their large and their medium - and it was a little over $40.00. You won't find prices that high in fine dining restaurants. Couldn't find any prices listed, so what a drink may cost today and what it will cost tomorrow will probably be something different. Actually saw such concerns with older reviews on Yelp and other social media. While this spot is different and I would go at least once, just to say you've been - they should definitely be a little bit more transparent with their pricing, at the bare minimum. Also, probably adjust their pricing for these 'slushies' that may or may not even have the equivalent of a shot in it.

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon after going to a couple other places in the area & no other people were there. They have so many flavors to choose from! We didn't see any prices listed and 3 drinks later (two large & one small) - with an extra shot for each - it was $80. We were a bit taken aback & could never figure out the breakdown.

I visited the establishment with some classmates. The service wasn't all that great. The daiquiris taste okay. A friend ordered a burger and fries. After waiting 30-45 minutes (and she ordered another drink while waiting), she asked to cancel the order. Come to find out, they had given her food to a patron who ordered after she did.We left and I doubt very seriously if I will be back. The service wasn't that great. The young ladies didn't greet us nor did they talk much. They looked as if they didn't want to be there.

This is connected to the Smaxx restaurant so the review is a two for one special. There are 12 flavors and they are mixed well. I got the panty dropper which is pineapple Ciroc mixed with watermelon which is watermelon Ciroc as well. They use styrofoam cups which help keep the drinks colder longer, and I believe the cups were 20 oz. This will definitely be one of my go-to spots this summer, I'm just now finding out about it but I'll be checking in often.

I enjoy visiting the velvet freeze shop. Drinks are good , food is good & the staff are polite. I only give it 4 starts because of seating.

Fun spot to hang out with friends. Good music and lots of TVs to watch the game. The bartender asked if it was our first time and pulled out all of the stops. I am not much on sweet drinks but this is a nice change for the summer when you want something cold that will also give you a buzz! They make regular drinks as well. I didn't eat but the food looked good! Definitely worth a visit.

I went here for a Birthday Celebration and the music was okay, could have been better. The drinks are okay they could be stronger, but I guess it depends on which one you order. I had the one with Tequila and it wasn't str

Love the atmosphere here! On 18th and vine Jazz District! They are so friendly! They're daiquiris are awesome!

I originally held off giving a review because I went during their soft opening, however I've been 2 times since and each time has been the same.The first time I went, I thought it was the worst experience ever. The drinks are ridiculously expensive and we had to pick our alcohol and they pour it on top of the drink which ruined the drink and the idea of a frozen drink.The consistency of the drinks reminded me of the slushy types you get from unknown gas stations where it is all syrup and little ice.The staff had no patience which was kind of understandable because they seemed to be pulled in every which way because it was very busy, but it hasn't gotten any better.On their Facebook page I would read reviews and some were pretty harsh, but I HATED the interaction the owner would have with some of the reviewers which turned me off even more. To me, you should let the product speak for itself and if it isn't good then change it. If everyone is complaining then it must be true.There is hope for this business. And I will give it another try, it's only been open for a year now, so they have time to grow.

These were flavorful and had the KICK that I like. The customer service was AWESOME great music and lots of options and flavors
