Absintherie Jilská - Prague

I can't comment on the Absinthe, since I don't drink alcohol, but my husband loved it. I CAN comment on the Absinthe ice cream and it was DELICIOUS! The guy helping us gave us a ton of information and he was so great, it became and experience, rather than a quick visit. The interior is newly designed and freaking awesome. Everywhere you look, your eyes will feast. Super fun!

The experience was great. No one in my group loves absinthe, but the overall experience was well worth it.

Awesome place Went twice and had a great experience Bartenders are top notch and knowledgeable Will return before my trip ends

Cozy and warm bar off Old Town Square. Very friendly bar where you are likely to meet fellow Absinthe drinkers and share drinks. If you like Absinthe, I can't think of a better place to sit and enjoy.

Came here for drinks after having dinner in the area with the bf and a friend when we were in town a few weeks ago. True absinthe is hard to come by in the U.S. still, and despite reading articles from locals about how absinthe isn't even worth seeking out if you're looking for unique spirits in Prague and/or the Czech Republic, we still felt like we should try some for ourselves. We chose to come here as it happened to be in Franz Kafka Square, and we felt like the 2 together just seemed so very Czech. The bar itself is fairly small, but they do do table service, so you don't have to order at the bar necessarily. The list for absinthes was quite staggering, and since I'm not a very big fan of the taste of absinthe, I decided to opt for a six-toed cat cocktail instead. The bf decided to get an absinthe zombie cocktail, and my friend opted for one of the Czech absinthes instead. We were served rather promptly, and while the cocktails packed quite the punch, both the bf and I should've done what my friend had done and ordered an actual glass of absinthe instead. It came with a very ornate fountain of water, replete with smoking dry ice, which dripped slowly onto a sugar cube on top of a slotted spoon into the absinthe, the way it's traditionally served. We were at least glad that one of us had opted to get straight absinthe so that we could witness this for ourselves, and for that reason alone, I think it's worth coming here. Also, the bar itself has tons of art nouveau ads for absinthe, so you feel like you're on the set for Moulin Rouge.
