Chicago Speakeasy Series — The Violet Hour 🍸🎨

The Violet Hour is a true speakeasy cocktail bar in Wicker Park — and it stays hidden thanks to a rotating roster of street artists who repaint the exterior walls (and even the door) every few months. Sometimes finding the handle takes a minute! 😂 📸 My visit 🥃 Gold Dust Illusion — a coffee‑infused cocktail with a boozy kick — absolutely loved it. 🎨 The next few photos (from their official Instagram) show how the murals change over time — always fresh, always cool. 🌭 Limited‑time treat: Caviar Hot Dog! Run, don’t walk — try it before it’s gone. The Violet Hour: 1520 N Damen Ave, Chicago, IL 60622 #ChicagoLife #Chicago #Speakeasy #CocktailBar #HiddenGem #WickerPark #RotatingArt
