Compliment Phil Chambers (05-12-2007) •••••

Absinthe is certainly something different. Run by a couple who had been "talking about setting up an Absinthe bar for 6 years", they got around the legal issues of selling such poison a year ago, and are now living the dream.

There's something very odd about this place. The ambiance is almost out of a vampire film, and quaffing copious quantities of the green stuff only amplifies it.

The selection of spirits is extremely comprehensive. I would guess they basically have everything, and serve it in style. You could also take a beer here, but why would you?

If I had to pick holes (apart from the ones in the walls!), I'd be that the seating is not conducive to curling up and going to sleep. I'd imagine this is deliberate!

5/5.
