The first Thursday of every month*, a portion of Alkemē transforms into the “Velvet Lantern Social”

Modeled after the nhậu in Vietnam, izakaya in Japan, or anju culture in Korea, it’s not just drinking, though our cocktails and wine selection are killer; it’s about community, ritual, and belonging. The Velvet Lantern Social balances food, drink, and friendship, weaving together restaurant, bar, and living room.

The Velvet Lantern is casual, boisterous, and sensory: everyone shares dishes and libations.

Industry friends, we’ve got you. Enjoy 20% off your tab as our thank you for all that you do.

Celebrate, commiserate, or simply unwind after work. Let’s nhậu. Make your reservation to guarantee your seat!

*In addition to our regular Dinner Service
