We had just 2 nights in Nashville and knew this was a place that would be a must see--and it delivered. One of our top 2 spots in the city. We tried around 8, but all the seats were taken, so we hit some other spots and decided to try one more time later that same evening. Just before 10, my partner phoned in and found out they would likely have a spot soon, so we made a dash and had about an hour to enjoy ourselves.
Who would not prefer an intimate and rare experience inside this beautifully refined establishment? We tried the flight, specifically Vieux Pontarlier, which we enjoy at home, a Swiss variety we hadn't tried and an absinthe distilled in Chicago, which was surprisingly delicious. Jeremy chose our spread and provided three little chocolate pralines, which were delectable in their own right. He was a pleasure to chat with, really impressed with the enthusiasm at this establishment. Regretfully, I did not catch the name of the mistress of the house, who was also a gem to converse with about absinthe. She whipped up a mean cocktail and graciously allowed us to try two additional absinthes, more local than Chicago. She was friendly and engaged in our experience as well.
Their efforts to ensure we knew how to properly enjoy this very interesting spirit was most appreciated. If you are curious about absinthe or a seasoned connoisseur, this spot is a must.
