The Violet Hour

Chicago, US

One of the first bars to introduce high-level cocktails to Chicago when it opened in 2007, The Violet Hour remains one of the city’s premiere destinations for well-crafted mixed drinks. Thanks to an otherworldly interior design featuring heavy floor-to-ceiling curtains that divide the supersized space into smaller segments, plus snug booths that gleam with candlelight, the bar is a beguiling place for a first date or private business meeting. Under the tutelage of Toby Maloney, a protégé of the late Sasha Petraske (Milk & Honey), the pre-Prohibition-inspired cocktail programme keeps in step with the times, and when paired with a tight-knit, talented bar staff, The Violet Hour remains an essential fixture both within the Wicker Park neighbourhood and on the national cocktail scene alike.
