The Violet Hour

Mediocre high priced drinks!

TLDR: great bar with amazing cocktails and friendly service We came in on a Monday night and were seated after a few minutes. It was pretty full and though lightly staffed, they were able to take great care of us. They’re a legacy bar and they make everything that was ever on their menu which is insane knowledge. I had two drinks on menu and one bartenders choice. My friend also had one off menu legacy drink and then one bartenders choice. All were amazing! Hate how the only picture I have to share is a slightly damp menu but the cocktails and friendliness will not disappoint

The drinks are great and fit with theme very well. Kind of fun that you might miss it if you're not in the know

As much as I like the ambience and the service, I still cannot understand why they can’t make a classic martini. I understand that you’re trying to promote your sophisticated cocktails and such but the fact that you cannot make a dirty vodka martini for a customer is a little unexpectedly hard to accept.

Great lounge spot- very cool ambiance, makes you feel like the main character. Drinks are not cheap but they are tasty, and service was excellent. Would definitely visit again.

Likely the best cocktail bar in Chicago.
