Old Absinthe House Reviews
Bartenders are phenomenal!!
You can’t visit Nola/ Bourbon Street without coming here. It might be a sin.
Rude staff and bouncer. Filthy restrooms. Complete waste of time and money.

Old Absinthe House is a unique spot to try Absinthe for the first time, offering a lively atmosphere and eclectic music. This historic venue in New Orleans remains a must-visit, featuring friendly and knowledgeable bartenders who can recommend popular drinks like blueberry lemon drop shots and the Sazerac. While the bar is small and standing-room-only can be a challenge, the energetic vibe and fantastic drinks more than make up for it. The atmosphere perfectly blends historic charm with vibrant energy, making it a great place for anyone visiting the city. Although some guests have noted that the bathrooms could use more attention and cleanliness, the overall experience is enriched by the engaging environment. Visitors might even get lucky and meet the Green Fairy while enjoying their time there. Old Absinthe House is also an excellent venue for events, accommodating various needs and providing a fun space for guests to mingle. Despite some issues with the space, such as the ventilation system, many guests still find it a cool place to relax and enjoy their drinks.
