The story
Hidden behind an unassuming facade in Prague’s Old Town, Absintherie is a pilgrimage site for green-fairy devotees, boasting 100 types of absinthe and a stellar 4.7-star rating. As “Where The Foodies Go” noted during their Prague food tour, the atmosphere is great despite unexpected disco music, and they specifically praised the **Assenzio Bianco** as a standout.
The bar is undeniably tourist-friendly, but that doesn’t diminish its appeal. The same creator emphasized it’s recommended “for the experience,” and the combination of an extensive spirit library with a lively, slightly quirky vibe makes for a memorable stop. Absintherie leans fully into its niche—and for willing travelers, that’s exactly the point.

At Absintherie, the Assenzio bianco is the standout dish, earning rapturous praise from the sole reviewer. The overall vibe is one of understated elegance and quiet discovery.
“We took a white absinthe, which is not so common — it's a bit more yellowish-greenish than the common one. The atmosphere of this place is wonderful but completely ruined by this disco music. Let's create a bit of atmosphere, twenty thirty? No, absolutely not. I tasted mine diluted 2:1 without sugar because I want to taste the flavour first — it's delicious, doesn't taste like aniseed, it's aniseed to the nth power. Wow, how good it is. But I also want to let some sugar down to see the difference. With sugar and more dilution it's less strong, a cool aperitif. If you've ever tasted pastis, this is pastis to the nth power, 100 times better. I like aniseed, it's a dominant flavour of absinthe but it's really pleasant and not very bitter. We come from the land of gentian, Abruzzo, so bitter things must be really bitter, but this is spectacular. It's a simple aperitif, a bit of a ritual with a group of friends and different taps, fun to do, recommended.”
