The Violet Hour in Chicago announced over the weekend that it would close after 18 years in business. It had been closed for weeks prior to the announcement. Some dispute with the landlord about building repairs, as usual. I wrote something about the bar’s impact and legacy for The Mix.

That’s a heavy loss. Such a fantastic bar, and it was always the very top of my list of places to go when I passed through Chicago. Thanks for the post.

That is a huge shame. Nothing lasts forever, but it seemed like they might become a legacy bar.
