They take their time to prepare and fire your absinthe. A bit pricey, but so is the source liquor. Comprehensive list of absinthe sources with knowledgeable and reliable bartenders to guide the options.
New Orleans charm. The Bloody Marys are served with green beans and pickled okra.
Relaxing atmosphere. Stephanie was very friendly and did a great job of explaining the history of the bar.
Funky place, great service and cold draft beer for any taste!
The absinthe melting sugar experience is a must!
Absinthe was authentic and prepared well. Bar was pretty tight and crowded, but that is to be expected.
This was a stop on a haunted pub crawl. Very cool building and a tasty drink but was only served after the couple next to me told the bartender I'd been waiting awhile. He literally was helping everyone except me.
Love this place the atmosphere is cool and relaxed. They do prepare it the right way. And have varied kinds... And mixed drinks and beers on tap.
It was different, had an experience before with absinthe and wanted to try, wasn't dissapointed.
One of those places you go once just to say you tried it. Service is friendly but not super attentive. Seems like a spot for the locals and situated on a corner on Bourbon so great for people watching.
They do a classic absinthe cocktail with a slotted spoon and flames.
Waited 25 minutes and was never waited on. I kept being told the bartender would be there in a minute but it never happened!! Take my advice- go somewhere else!
Super cool place! The absinthe is like none I have ever tried... definitely a must try !
Absinthe Frappe was darn good. Relatively attentive service for being on Bourbon Street.
Great drinks and the staff is awesome. Absinthe wasn't my favorite of drinks, but its worth trying at least once. Overall: wonderful place and atmosphere.
Dive bar type of atmosphere. Btw, the absinthe that's used in the drinks are no longer hallucinogenic, they are just gross! Unless you like the taste of black licorice! Uck!! That was our faces BEFORE the drink!
You have to try this place! Amazing drinks and entertainment.
Great local spot. Not overcrowded. Bartenders make great cocktails and are super friendly.
Such a cool place! I wish I had taken pictures of the inside, but you know I was kinda busy with a drink in my hand! Great section!
I love this place everytime I go! I'm going this weekend!
Good drinks....but AWFUL service. Sat for 15 min AFTER they acknowledged me before they came for a drink order. If you REALLY want to be here, do come. Otherwise, if you want service and a drink, I suggest going else ware. Customers are apparently 2nd class citizens here. Will not come back.
Ok to try Absinthe for the first time. Watch your bill. My credit card was over charged.
Fantastic bartender and the bouncer was SOOO nice! I have to admit I had a hard time meshing the sports theme with an old time historic relic, but I loved it. Recommend getting an absinthe drink even it if is overpriced. Will definitely try the gin fizz this spring when we return! Just know, you will be dealing with the Bourbon St crowd here. Not a quiet place to sit back and relax by any means. But who wants that when you are on Bourbon?
I always love going to bar. The staff are friendly and the selection of absinthe is great.
