“At the violet hour, when the eyes and back
Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits
Like a taxi throbbing waiting . . .
At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives
Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea”
T.S. Eliot, “The Waste Land” (1922)
The Violet Hour is Chicago's first handcrafted artisanal cocktail lounge, located in the heart of Wicker Park.
