Ye Olde Absinthe Bar and Museum

For some reason (Kafka? the Bohemian thing?), absinthe is very big in Prague, featured in all the liquor and souvenir stores, and even this Absintherium, a bar and museum. We abstained. I tried it once, in York, of all places, and did not like the bitter aftertaste. (In addition to the bitter aftertaste, it's also alcoholic, a stimulant/depressant, an aphrodisiac, habit-forming, and, in the traditional version, deadly). Fortunately, there's plenty of other stuff to drink in Prague.

Outside the Absintherium; "all to go"

Inside; scores of brands, flavors

I think this collection of spoons, used to mix sugar with the

stuff (5 parts water, too), constitutes the museum

Absinthe slushees; seriously
