When it comes to unique vibes, The Violet Hour is the place to be. The hidden gem of Chicago has its door discreetly tucked away behind 12 foot velvet curtains that transport you to an ethereal space filled with minimalist furniture, moody lighting, and unforgettable music. The menu is full of delectable cocktails for all tastes, from subtle flavors at the top to the bold and more 'funky' options lower down. Be sure to ask their helpful staff for advice if you're unsure - they'll be sure to give you an honest opinion. The star of the show has to be the espresso martini.
