Cocktail hour @ THE VIOLET HOUR

This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when affections glow again and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen magically along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn.

- Bernard DeVoto "The Hour"

With decor inspired by a fusion of an old English Club and a seductive French Salon, it's no wonder why The VIOLET HOUR has become the new hipster hot spot for cocktails.  Named after a line of T.S. Eliot Poetry and using the above quote, from Bernard DeVoto, as its theme, The VIOLET HOUR is idyllic if you are searching for a new experience.  This spot will send you back centuries with their tall royalty-like chairs, intimate setting, and no cell phone policy.  

Try their eclectic drinks such as the Indian Summer made with Plymouth, Lime, Lavender Syrup, and House-Made Tonic OR the Gilded Cage mixed with Tito's, Lemon, Honey Syrup, Egg White, and Paychaud's Bitter.  VIOLET HOUR is also known for their bourbon and whiskey cocktails.  If hunger strikes, go the Chic. route and try the Chicago Style Mini-Dogs complete with Yellow Mustard, Onion, Tomato, Sport Pepper, Pickle and Celery Salt (exné on the ketchup - for obvious reasons) OR treat yourself to a southern inspired dish such as the Fried Chicken and Waffles with Maple Tobasco Dipping Sauce! 

We do not take credit for these images!

What we love most about this magical bar is it's camouflaged entrance...we would show you a picture of the outside, but that would ruin the allure of approaching a stunning experience, of approaching The VIOLET HOUR.
