Beautifully decorated in all its vintage-chic, kitschy glory by owner Corey Fox, Provo’s Velour is a treat for the eyes—think secondhand furniture, cool knick-knacks and stained glass. And as local rock, pop, alt-country and other up-and-coming bands light up the stage, Velour is also a treat for the ears. Many local bands that have made it big—Imagine Dragons, Fictionist and others—played some of their first shows at Velour, and with weekly open-mic nights, album-release shows, concerts and a few annual events, there’s always something noteworthy happening. Also, in the back, there’s an impossibly charming roped-off VIP section that’s essentially a diorama of a tiny living room that seats only a few people—the stars must be smiling down upon you if you’re granted entry.
