The Old Absinthe House

The motto of the Old Absinthe house is ‘Everyone you have ever known or ever will know, eventually ends up at the old absinthe house’. We’ll take that as an encouragement! Formerly a coffee house, the Old Absinthe House converted to a bar in the late 1800s and The introduced their ‘absinthe frappe cocktail’ in 1874 and have been serving them ever since. When absinthe was banned, they switched to Herbsaint – an locally-made absinthe substitute. But call ahead to find out, they may be using one of many newly available genuine absinthes.
