Absinthe Bar
ABSINTHE NIGHT BAR
Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 171
Cave-like inside with Arabian decor, cosy alcoves and DJs. Not sure what the recipe they use for their Absinthe (the lethal concoction favoured by Van Gogh, Degas and Picasso) as I had two glasses and nothing happened. They are the only bar in Amsterdam with a licence to sell La Fée Verte...
Open: Mon-Thu, Sun 20.00-03.00, Fri, Sat 20.00-04.00
When I was there five years ago, it was macerated swill. Anyone been there recently?
