When it comes to having a glass of quality alcohol, ritual and history comes as part of the package. One of Sydney's first small bars, Absinthe Salon has just opened in Surry Hills and it offers a very special cultural experience.
First up, I should let you know that this cute home away from home only serves Absinthe so if you're not a fan this probably isn't the place for you. I'd heard all kinds of stories of people drinking this stuff, but had never actually plucked up the courage to give it a go myself. One friend lied, telling me that it was some kind of crazy drug; another said she'd gone completely crazy with laughter and the shakes after a night of Absinthe shots. Now, I can say I have had a taste of the Green Fairy and survived to tell this story!
