THE tramline extension has been a boon for the bars and restaurants of West Didsbury. Bohemian Burton Road has always been a hot-spot but this summer it was buzzier and busier than ever.
New bar The Violet Hour is one of the places that's making a night out here worth the Metrolink ticket. It does fine drinks and good food in an inviting setting with an open fire, Chesterfield sofas and a softly-lit back bar that looks like a shrine to the joys of a quality tipple.

The cocktails are crafted by an expert hand – try the Polynesian Punch and you’ll see what we mean. A refreshing, fruity blend that slips down easily. Or if mixed drinks aren’t your thing, try one of their boutique beers, ciders, wines or champagnes.
The Violet Hour has recently launched a well-rounded food menu of uncomplicated eating to go with your drinks. The four bean chilli with pulled pork is a winner and the small plates are perfect to share. Just try not to fight over the last crab cake.
Whether you're looking for a venue for a date night or a catch-up with friends, The Violet Hour is well worth investigating. Hop on the tram from the city centre and discover it for yourself – it's just a few minutes' stroll from the Burton Road tram stop.
