Reviews for The Violet Hour in Chicago, IL
Went with a group of friends but it is more of a date place. Would recommend sitting at the bar rather than getting a table. The... cocktails were pretty good. Reservation is expensive- $15 per person and it doesn’t get deducted from your bill which I thinkis pretty lame. Read more
I visit this place every time I’m in Chicago. It’s a hidden gem. No signage outside so you have to know where you’re... going. Once you’re past the 12 foot velvet curtains you’re transported to an ethereal space with tall high-back chairs thatbelong in Wonderland. There’s no Cheshire Cat but there is bartender’s beyond comprehension. Carefully crafting each drinkto perfection and friendly. I only go once a year and they remember my name, my business and my drink. Coolest secret inChicago. Read more
Probably the best cocktails I've ever had. The inside is a little odd, the really tall chairs are less than comfortable but the... experience and service make up for this tiny detail, with the quality of the product being top notch. Read more
Really enjoyed The Violet Hour! My partner and I just hopped in a for a quick drink on a Saturday afternoon and were surprised... to find that it wasn't very crowded! The drinks are very complex and selection is plentiful. This is a great, intimate spot -perfect for a date night! Read more
Really great vibes but the drinks just weren’t amazing to me. We were told the drinks at the top are more tame and toward the... bottom are more funky so of course I wanted the drink at the bottom. I asked the waitress if it was sweet as I really don’tlike sweet drinks and she said that it was nicely balanced. I received it and it was over-the-top sweet. My friend who onlydrinks sweet drinks said it was like cough syrup to her. They very nicely let me switch my drink but the next one was incrediblybitter. Neither hit the mark for me taste-wise but the staff was nice and the place has a great ambiance. Read more
an absolutely enchanting experience! very romantic and unforgettable. the layout allows a very intimate feeling time for you &... your party, and the drinks are STRONG Read more
Had a great vibe and good drinks! All the cocktails we got came with an extra small container which was really neat. Most... places would just charge you for the small glass and the cocktails here were reasonably priced! The service was professionaland the atmosphere was enjoyable - I would certainly go back :) Read more
The cocktails are delicious obviously, and the servers are great. I just can’t for the life of me figure out why the walls and... trim are painted like a seaside hotel. I expect a speakeasy to be dark and intimate. The sky blue and white ruin the entirevibe. Read more
