The Violet Hour Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
I appreciated my time at the violet hour.
My group and I had a bit of trouble finding this spot because it is incognito. We had to ask around to find the entrance. The entrance blends in with the wall. There wasn't much of a wait. The host was able to seat us pretty quickly. The inside is dark to create an intimate space. They have chairs that have a long back to create some privacy between you and the person/people you decide to have dinner with here. It's a place where you should definitely keep your voice down as not to disturb others. Our water was prompt and always came around to ask if we needed anything or to fill our waters. My mom ordered a chicken sandwich while my aunt and I ordered the smash burger with a side of truffle fries. We all enjoyed our meals We were really impressed by the drink menu. We started off with the White Linen, Paloma, and Run it Back. All of our drinks were yummy. My mom got a second Paloma. And my aunt got the BBAWTDHY. I found the name so funny because it's so true. We were excited to give this drink a try because of the nilla wafer included in this drink. We got curious and asked how this drink is made and how do the nilla wafers come into the equation. Our waiter was able to give us a full length answer and it was cool to find out the method of making this drink. We all took sips of it because it's definitely strong. You only need one of these. Overall I had a great experience at the Violet Hour.
Very nice elegant speakeasy capture prohibition time with
Very nice elegant speakeasy capture prohibition time with low lightning and privacy. A must for excellent cocktails and a pleaser for dates.
Peeked in this speakeasy on a late Wednesday evening.
Heard some good things from others and thought to give it a go. While reservations are highly recommended, my friends and I came at just the right time. We were able to slide in before the place really got packed. I chose to order the mustache delight as it's their take on a root beer whiskey sour. I love whiskey and root beer - why not? Definitely strong but the flavor blend together seamlessly. Two of these and you'll be feeling just right. Cute dark sensual ambiance. It's quiet and the vibes are adult classy and respectful. Excellent customer service. Will be returning.
My friends and I came here after hitting a Happy Hour that
My friends and I came here after hitting a Happy Hour that was fairly close. My crew always hits more than 1 spot so when I saw this location was nearby we had to go! My friend also said she heard about this place from another friend, so at that point it was meant for us to check it out. The atmosphere is so classy, quiet yet you're able to have your conversation with light music in the background, dark with an intimate touch. We unfortunately missed HH which they had about 4-5 different options for around $11. Their other drinks ranged from $15+. They are a bit on the pricey side, but I will say that they do mix them very well.
What a literal hidden gem! With true speakeasy vibes.
The perfect date night. Be sure to check out their house rules in the restroom. When I visited, the featured bartender was Amanda Figueroa, showcasing drinks that are reminiscent of her cultural background and hometown. The drink were phenomenal! I also ordered fries, which were the perfect snack for the occasion.

I was sitting with my back up against the curtain wall, which kept having my chair bumped as people went to the bathroom. This was incredibly frustrating, as I nearly spilled my drink. We had the steep climb, bogdaddy, twisted by nature and impermanence. The bogdaddy tasted strongly of anise. Otherwise, all the drinks were great.
Really cute in the dark speakeasy.
I found this place two years ago on a random day and they had a in the dark theme which was really cool. And coming back now was just an enjoyable experience. Their liquor is pretty strong as they tend to be hand heavy pour but still pretty good tasting
Went there with a friend for the first time.
Was very excited about going. Had heard that the drinks were amazing. That part was absolutely correct. We had a great mixologist sat at the bar and shared several drinks. Had their truffle fries, which were very good and their crab dip. Ambiance was nothing special. I expected a lot more based on their website. The evening ended up sadly because I believe I lost my ring there, and sent a query to them the next morning left three phone calls and two emails and I've never heard a response. The ring was very sentimental and you would think they could at least respond. Had the feel that it was a place where they did their jobs well but it was just that. A job no more no less. You were just another number and dollars in the cash till.

Nikita is the best! We had drinks for our 1st wedding anniversary and he made the experience so special. Definitely will be back!
The Violet Hour is surely one of my favorite speakeasies in
The Violet Hour is surely one of my favorite speakeasies in Chicago! We recently visited this place during Happy Hour to kick-start celebrating a friend's birthday. I know very few places that extend Happy Hours till Friday timings 5-7 pm! We all ordered drinks from The Golden Hour section, and it's really difficult to pick favorites as everything was really good! We tried the White Linen, Water Lily, Paloma, Boulevardier and Hotel Nacional! All the drinks were fairly priced at 13 dollars which is a good steal for the quality cocktail drinks they have to offer! We also ordered some truffle fries and sweet and sour cauliflower to share with the drinks. We absolutely devoured the cauliflower bites, very appetising! The Violet Hour, just like many speakeasies is inspired by the pre-prohibition style libation and does a really good job of maintaining its essence and aesthetics. Their entry is not easily noticeable and once checked in, the seating is secluded and lets you enjoy a private experience! They keep introducing new cocktails and I'm definitely coming back to try more! I did not try their absinthe experience during this visit, however, it is worth mentioning as it's pretty unique and a fun experience!
FABULOUS FABULOUS FABULOUS
Did I mention that this place is fabulous? The drinks are boozy and the atmosphere is lovely and feels very private even in a full house. We sat at an intimate table with tall high back very comfortable chairs that lend to the intimate atmosphere. Great for a date night or happy hour at the bar. The entry is discreet and you would not notice it if you do not know what you are looking for. This is a great time. The food is worth trying too! We loved the truffle fries and the warm crab dip! Delicious!
Cozy spot for some truly great cocktails
Add this to your Chicago Date night! In the heart of wicker park, this is a great pre-dinner, post dinner for stand alone stop on a fun night out. I am a huge tequila fan, and their tequila cocktails did not disappoint.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.
Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.
Give the best answerRestaurant Bought/Canceled Their Own Reservation
I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

I am having a tough time contacting and elucidating a response from AT Support. I had a listing at 6pm, which was a mistake as the actual listing reservation was at 11pm. This got somehow approved by AT, and a customer bought this from me for 6pm. I want to cancel this listing and refund customer , but there is no way of doing this ! This is so frustrating and making me lose hope on AT. Can someone help me please?

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!

I have a big ongoing and it also shows someone is working on my bid. Today I see there is a " Buy Instantly " option at my portfolio showing same price I've bid for a reservation. I'm a bit confused, since my money has already been deducted from my credit card for the bid, do I need to pay one more time for the Buy Instantly? If I choose Buy Instantly, can I cancel my bid ( while someone is working on it )? Thanks!

You can only deposit $50 at a time until you earn the “Sales and Low Refund Medal” I believe. Im new to this as well but the ability to deposit more money at once and increase your amount of listings comes with that medal.

Anyone know how increase payout transfer to bank as I can only send $50 a day and they charge $5 for every transaction. There must be a way. I’ve contacted support two days ago and not a reply.
