I stopped by this hot spot recently and was definitely digging the vibe.

The Violet Hour in Wicker Park.

This hidden gem has a dark, trendy atmosphere that is sure to promise for a pleasant evening.  Even if you might confuse yourself for being in a giant game of Tetris (the high backed leather chairs look like “L’ pieces and all tables are small perfect squares), the drinks are impeccable and the intimacy is just right.

While I wouldn’t say this is an unknown spot from reading the crowd, it’s for sure a good place to stop by for a quiet evening of getting to know you.
