In Short
Absinthe is the kind of bar you can go to several nights a week and always feel at home. The crowd is a pleasant and welcoming mix of young professionals and older regulars. Expect an elegant menu that includes mini… Read Full Editorial
My Review by nasatim via Citysearch on 10/14/2013
This use to be a lovely place to have cocktails with friends. Recently the staff has been inattentive and more concerned with self image than customer satisfaction. The last 2 times I have attended were less than expected. A few months…
All the awesome places don't have signs by favouritethings via Citysearch on 3/1/2010
It's dark. And classy. Not in a modern, trendy, hipster way but in a classic, tiny, locals, dark wood .... with no sign way.
They do have absinthe. I love the Hemingway's Revenge [absinthe and champagne]. But I return time and time again…
Absinthe is a nice resturant by Gilbert H via Insider Pages on 9/28/2009
Absinthe grilled rack of lamb was great, the service was okay, the waiter wasn't to friendly but they weren't rude. Clean restrooms and the environment was nice. Great for nights with your spouse.
Give it a wack. by CSMobileUser via Citysearch on 9/14/2009
I went with a small group and it was outstanding. I read all the other reviews and ppl keep saying its too expensive. Look the fact of the matter is your paying for the enviorment and service you receive both in my opinion are outstanding.…
Only the Hipest of the Hip by DowntownLana via Citysearch on 3/31/2009
I've been going to Absinthe for many years... sometimes by myself, sometimes with a huge group of people. It doesn't matter when you go, weekday or weeknight, the staff is friendly and energetic and they add to the stigma of the ambiance.…

THEY RIP YOU OFF! by evail via Citysearch on 12/15/2008
I've been twice..and it was two too many times for me. \r
The first time was the night before Thanksgiving, and I guess because he didn't prepare for the crowd. We waited to order a drink for 45 minutes. We were never acknowledge…
NOT RECOMMENDED....DON'T GO!!!! by JohnFIN via Citysearch on 7/26/2008
Hated it!!! Dont go....not worth it...expensive drinks and it seems unclean....the bathrooms are nasty. Also the waitress and the bartender are rude. Not good for groups either....the place is small with not many places to sit... The…
Best Martinis! by dcmelis via Citysearch on 7/18/2008
This place is wonderful. It is dimly lit and has great music, comfortable couches, and the best martinis I have ever had. Try the chocolate martini...you won't regret it. It is a great place to hang out with friends - and a very…
Didn't feel it. by oliverme via Citysearch on 7/12/2008
I just finished watching a play Friday night, and wanted to have a drink and meet friends out at Absinthe Brasserier. I was wearing Calvin Klein shorts with a polo shirt. The door guy (who looked like he never left the 90's) was wearing…
Satisfies every time by wunderbread via Citysearch on 6/13/2008
I go have drinks 4-5 nights a week, and this place is great with business associates and work happy hours because the menu has nicer selection of pizzas, panini sandwiches, hummus, etc,,,,,,,respectable menu for a lounge and better than…
Great Atmosphere, Great Food, Great Service by seanandolivia via Citysearch on 5/2/2008
My best friend and I went to Absinthe a couple of weeks ago. The place was pretty busy, but the bartender made us feel very welcomed. He even unreserved some space for us so we could sit down and eat some of their delicious food. Even…
Amazing Food, Classy but Relaxed Atmosphere, Interesting Drink Choices, Great Bar Attitude by jenabouthouston via Citysearch on 4/12/2008
I just cannot possibly say enough about the phenomenal menu choices. The anti-pasta plate was not only tasty, but it had such a wide selection of meats and cheeses. The melon, olives, grapes, pecans, almonds, and crostini perfectly…
My Tab was overcharged too! by Halini via Citysearch on 2/21/2008
My tab was over charged too! I have to agree with a couple of reviews on that.. I thought it was a mistake, but now it doesn't seem like it.. Also the rude bar tender I kind of agree with it... Apart from that, I thought the place was…
LOVE this place by jhebert2010 via Citysearch on 2/14/2008
A friend showed me this wonderful place on night and I'm glad I came. It is small, so you need to get there early so you get a seat. Great drinks, although a little pricey, and great pizzas (pricey as well). Beautiful decor, nice looking…
Absintium Artemesia,Sublime, austere, no cliche, RUM & COKE by warriorartist via Citysearch on 8/17/2007
***The actual cross-street is GREELEY; if you're at Rosewood, you've passed Absinthe- gone too far***\r

I've read the reviews and it is funny to read the reviews that are filled with negativity. These people should realize that they're…
Wonderful upscale clandestine lounge by seamrippstress via Citysearch on 7/16/2007
We'd heard fabulous things about this place and sought it out. We drove by it 3-4 times before we finally found the place, hunting for the castle-like double doors. Gorgeous french-style decor and soothing ambiance inside this cozy…
Don't go here.... by jessintexas via Citysearch on 1/26/2007
...so that it remains a great place that no one knows about! I have grown to just love being at this place. The drinks are fantastic, the bartender remembers my husband and I, and the place really circulates air enough that you are not…
Watch your tab by dart5 via Citysearch on 1/16/2007
I used to like this place until I was overcharged on my tab. The bartender admitted to the mistake but never fixed it for me. After phone calls and visits to the bar to remind him of the mistake, the tab was never changed-- even after…
great bar food! by dingdong25 via Citysearch on 9/21/2006
Absinthe is a great bar for people watching, eating some great bar food and having a good drink. Ralph the manager makes everyone feel welcome! I like the ambience! Absinthe is a very upscale but friendly place to relax and enjoy a…
