Absinthesalon
Absinthesalon, in trendy Surry Hills, is a unique and inimitable addition to Sydney's bar scene that - as the name suggests - specialises in the distribution of fine, European Absinthe. Escape into this charming, artistic French wonderland and delve into the range on offer.
Absinthe was the Cosmopolitan of its day. All the beautiful people and hip creative types liked to hang around and imbibe this potent, anise-flavoured spirit – and get freaky as a result of its 45-75 per cent alcohol content. These days, sipping absinthe is less about chasing the “green fairy” and more about doing something a little different. And what better place than the luxe, Paris-inspired Absinthesalon? Its range includes tipples from as far back as 1901 – and there’s
a three-glass maximum, so you’ll get home in one piece. ...read more
I was always curious about this place so we finally decided to come here the other night. It was so intriguing the moment they opened the door to this 'house' and seated us in a room that felt like a gothic-eastern european-dungeon which was awesome. The waitor instructed us from the beginning to the end which was really informative and interesting. I am not a huge fan of absinthe but I loved watching the whole procedure.
I think this place is really cool. Expensive. But a great experience. You basically get 3 courses of absinthe and you can go stronger per each course.
They have an awesome gothic theme going on, I just wished they made it a little darker inside so the mystical gothic theme really stood out.
Staff were really friend and knew exactly what they were talking about.
Quirky little place with a mystical gothic feel as soon as you enter. It is a place truly dedicated to the deadly liquor, absinthe, with a wide range of flavours and 3-drinks maximum. Served at the table, you get the full experience of how absinthe should be consumed.
