A glass, a spoon, a sugarcube, a cut throat razor, some bandages and a box of crayons. :idea:

The Bottle. I'm pretty ignorant on the subject of absinthe so I don't know if the liquor or its attendant ritual will meet yer standards. They do however, advertise absinthe on their website.

Website link.

Near the bottom they write, "Besides our draft beer Amstel and Heineken, we have a variety of drinks and even serve the notorious Absinthe in traditional style."

Plus it's smoker friendly. :D And they close at 3 a.m., 4 a.m. on the weekends.

Also, I think you can get absinthe at Cafe Tetra on NZV, though I'm not 100% sure. They're also smoker-friendly. Hope this helps.
Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

cafe zool
that's what's on their webpage:

U gotta have 'Zool' for cafe Zool. A friendly little bar with a relaxed atmosphere, free Wifi, good soul and blues
music and sports on big screen on request.. But more important! Their wide selection of beers, booze and different
kinds of absinthe
!! Put some nice, friendly and helpful bartenders behind the bar and there you have cafe Zool.
A must on your visit to Amsterdam!

Prague (Czech Republic) is renouned for Absinthe also called the green fairy. The drink is nothing but a romantic myth, despite the active ingredient that makes authentic Absinthe which is wormwood, Absinthe is nothing but very high alcohol content liquor.

I do like it and the whole procedure in drinking it, but many believe it has halucinogenic properties, naively.
