Violet Hour
Lonely Planet review for Violet Hour
This nouveau speakeasy isn’t marked, so look for the poster-covered, wood-panel building and the door topped by a yellow lightbulb (U2 found it for their recent record-release party). Inside, high-backed booths, chandeliers and long velvet drapes provide the backdrop to elaborately engineered cocktails in which homemade bitters are applied with an eyedropper over six varieties of ice. As highbrow as it sounds, it’s quite welcoming and accessible.
