That is exciting news for the downtown social scene!
The Velvet Swan is opening at 125 S. Kentucky Ave., taking over the 2,200-square-foot space where Dissent Brewing used to be. Owners Jeremiah and Tabitha Joaquim have designed it specifically to bring a highly sophisticated, upscale spirits and cocktail lounge to the heart of the Munn Park Historic District.
If you are planning to check out the soft opening tomorrow, here is a quick look at what to expect from Downtown Lakeland’s newest addition:
- The Vibe: A refined, lounge-style atmosphere with an open floor plan and a central bar built around fostering conversation and social connection.
- The Menu: Operating under a full 4COP license, they will be serving high-end curated cocktails, fine wine, and premium spirits. Note: They will not have an initial food menu or TVs, keeping the focus entirely on the lounge experience.
- The Entertainment: Expect low-key, culturally refined entertainment like solo live musicians, soft DJ sets, and classic tabletop games like chess and checkers.
- The Hours & Rules: The lounge is strictly for patrons 21 and older and is permitted to stay open until 2:00 AM, with dedicated security at the front door on weekend nights to keep things smooth and safe.
It sounds like a perfect addition for anyone looking for a sleek, mature spot to grab a proper drink downtown!
