Had a sloe gin fizz and a lavender honey gin drink. Both were great. Well worth the price. The violet hour comparison is only because of the cocktail menu similarities.

This place is better than Violet Hour! I can get amazing cocktails and talk on my cell phone and add people to my party and listen to great music... Great drinks with none of the pretentiousness.

New menu! The pumpkin whip and bourbon turnover are the best drinks you'll find in the city!

Great dark and sexy environment, like Violet Hour cocktails ... minus 59 minutes since they make them quickly...try the Stallion

Try The Violator if you want a little spice in your drink!

Try the Hard Six

Can't say I agree with the Violet Hour comment.. 3 bartenders, 15 patrons, and a 20 minute wait for three cocktails. Does not compute.
