Bar menu An invitation for the night

The Violet Hour bar menu is not a compilation. It is a selection. Personal, precise, with a clear sense of quality. You'll find what you'd expect. And a few things you wouldn't. Signature cocktails that don't aim to please, but tell a story. Classics, rethought. Spirits that don't hide their origins. No gimmicks, no empty names, no trends for the sake of trends. Instead, hand-picked ingredients, honest craftsmanship and drinks that say a lot with just a few ingredients. Alcohol-free options as well - but never arbitrary. Readers will quickly understand: nothing here is made just because you can. But because it means something.

At Violet Hour, it's not just about what's inside the glass. It's about social interactions. A space that doesn't impose. But is available when you need it. Dim lights, flowing voices, a bar where strangers can become allies. Or simply where good drinks are mixed creatively. The menu has the classics. The bartenders have the expertise. They listen, make suggestions, switch things up from one moment to the next. For conversations that can last longer. For nights that don't have to get to the point. It's not loud here. But clear. Not pretentious, but precise. Those who come in often stay a little longer. Because of the atmosphere. Because of the glass. Because of the feeling of having arrived.

Sometimes a single shade is enough to tell you where you're at. Violet Hour doesn't welcome you. It opens up. With velvet. With glass. With space that doesn't want to shine, but is still meant to make an impact. Those who take a seat get more than just a drink. Guests can expect a quiet setting for deep conversations, for privacy, for encounters. Signature cocktails with character. Classics with attitude. Spirits that showcase their origins. Served by bartenders who know their craft – and who read their guests. Not intrusive, not distant. Simply there when it matters. The atmosphere is focused, but not stiff. Here you can take your time. For what matters.

Sit at the bar, sip a stylish violet spritz, and let time pass without fuss. Start the evening with an aperitivo and marvel at how freely your thoughts can unfold with a glass of well-tempered vermouth.

In glorious weather, the deep blue of the cloudless sky in Bad Ischl seems almost unrealistically beautiful. The counterpart to the "golden cage" of Vienna, from which Elisabeth repeatedly escaped to follow her inner compass. Out of the one-dimensionality of courtly ceremony, into the complexity of nature. The credo? Simply be free. Impetuous, uncontrolled, incredibly soothing. Without paparazzi. Without frills. In Bad Ischl, Elisabeth didn't arrive. She found herself.
