    Great choice of absinthe, the owner can also give you directions if it is your first time trying it. The place is cosy, and the music helps in this, being retro and some kind of swing, I would say, but I didn't pay too much attention. Most importantly, they don't blast it at max volume, so you can actually have a nice conversation around the table without screaming

    This was my first time in an Absinth bar. And it was superb. The interior design is just beautiful. They have also their own blend of coffee. The music was also really nice, and the staff were friendly. Highly recommended.

    This is the COOLEST bar. Loved the vibes, amazing decor, fantastic menu. The bathroom is hidden behind a bookshelf and they use an antique rotary phone to take reservations. Our drinks were wonderful.

    I can’t think of many bars in my history of going to bars with a cooler atmosphere. We were told to make a reservation in advance, and it definitely was needed - the bar is like being in someone’s living room, and as such there is limited seating for groups. Even couples were being turned away later in the evening. When it came to the service, everything was excellent. The servers know a lot about the absinthe they serve, and offer great recommendations. My only tip: don’t trip too much of it! It’s incredibly strong! But we had a great time and a lot of laughs in the awesome ambiance.

    (Translated by Google) The Grotesque Absinth Bar is not a bar, that's an experience. Absolutely recommendable .. we will definitely be back (Original) Die Grotesque Absinth Bar ist keine Bar, das ist ein Erlebnis. Absolut empfehlenswert..wir kommen bestimmt wieder

    (Translated by Google) Mega great atmosphere, best staff and a fierce Absinth selection! If you do not know what you want, the staff will advise you damn well, ask for your wishes, give you tips etc. Simply a place where you can only feel good 😍 (Original) Mega tolles Ambiente, bestes Personal und eine heftige Absinth-Auswahl!

    (Translated by Google) The bar is actually a masked time travel machine. You land in the golden 20s and drink absinthe. That's not just cult, it's culture. Many thanks. (Original) Die Bar ist eigentlich eine verkappte Zeitreise-Maschine. Man landet in den goldenen 20er Jahren und trinkt Absinth. Das ist nicht nur Kult, sondern Kultur. Vielen Dank.

    (Translated by Google) We were from Oberhausen on 25.11.19 at the Aachen Christmas market. By chance found this ambience. Just a great idea to let the time of the golden 20s experience again. Equipment, pictures, furniture, music great. Then all about the previously prohibited absinthe a good idea. Would I live in Aachen I would be here more often. The modern that is in any other local bars or restaurant can anyone. Respect and good luck in the future. My wife and I have a similar but cafe in Oberhausen. (Original) Wir waren aus Oberhausen am 25.11.19 auf dem Aachener Weihnachtmarkt. Durch Zufall diese Ambiente gefunden. Einfach eine tolle Idee die Zeit von den goldenen 20er wieder erleben zu lassen. Ausstattung, Bilder, Möbel, Musik super. Dann noch alles über den früher verbotenen Absinth eine gute Idee. Würden Ich in Aachen wohnen wäre Ich öfter hier. Das moderne das in allen anderen Lokalen Bars oder Restaurant ist kann jeder. Hochachtung und viel Erfolg in der Zukunft. Meine Frau und Ich haben ein ähnliches, aber Cafe in Oberhausen.

    Very nice place. At first you have to book

  • 4/5 Bill O. 4 years ago on Google
    Neat little space for a drink. Fairly odd set up with a speakeasy sort of vibe. Lacks authenticity but still worth a stop.

  • 5/5 Motez A. 1 year ago on Google
    Super nice Atmosphere, cool drinks 👍

  • 5/5 Jip V. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Geoff T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place. Staff really friendly and know everything about the drinks and explain it all very well. Excellent English spoken- although I don't expect this. First time drinking Absinth and it won't be the last... Give it a go, you may love it! The place is great as everybody else has described.

  • 5/5 Zeynep B. 1 year ago on Google

    Amazing n very friendly bartender with great knowledge of Absinthe. Beautiful selection of drinks paired with unique way of serving. Mind blowing experience. The music, art & setup is old school, Feels like you hv stepped in 1920s pub. Time travel vibes, must try when Aachen 👍🎊🎉 i will definitely come again when next time in Europe

  • 5/5 Karolina P. 11 months ago on Google
    We came over for quick coffee only but enough to experience great atmosphere there :).

  • 5/5 Markus M. 4 months ago on Google
    Early 1900s themed absinthe bar with a good selection of absinthe and gin, as well as a nice cocktail list, mainly built around these two spirits. Excellent atmosphere and helpful staff (who also speak English), but quite small so a booking is recommended, especially on busy nights like Friday/Saturday.

  • 5/5 Gabriele L. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing retro-style bar. Friendly and professional staff will guide you through the wide selection of absints, helping you find your match. I personally recommend the Beetle to who doesn't like anise and bitter absints. Ask to see the bottle if you never did before, you'll find a surprise inside. Highly recommended to have some drinks with your partner and/or friends. The place is not big so you might find it full or get a corner of a big table. Absolutely worth to knock on their door

  • 5/5 Andreas L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A great bar! The owner advises you wonderfully, even if you are not at all familiar with absinthe (and there are also enough other drinks if you are less inclined to the green fairy) and also provides a lot of other information about the production and tasting. Particularly noteworthy is the atmosphere of the bar, which is created on the one hand by the decelerated tasting ritual, but on the other hand by the charm of the furnishings and music from the past two centuries, and not least by the fact that some guests make the effort through the consciously wearing a suit, tie and other props to bring the flair to life. The prices are perfectly reasonable and the selection is more than sufficient, but it is advisable to make a reservation without corona restrictions, places are limited. Thank you for the lovely evening! (Original) Eine tolle Bar! Der Inhaber berät einen wunderbar, selbst wenn man sich überhaupt nicht mit Absinth auskennt (und es gibt auch ausreichend andere Getränke, falls man der grünen Fee weniger zugeneigt ist) und liefert auch sonst viele Informationen rund um die Herstellung und Verkostung. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Atmosphäre der Bar, die zum einen durch das entschleunigte Verkostungsritual, aber zum anderen auch den Charme der Einrichtung und der Musik aus den beiden vergangenen Jahrhunderten entsteht, und nicht zuletzt auch dadurch, dass einige Gäste sich die Mühe machen, durch das bewusste Tragen von Anzug, Krawatte und weiteren Requisiten den Flair lebendig zu machen. Die Preise sind völlig in Ordnung und die Auswahl mehr als ausreichend, es empfiehlt sich aber auch ohne Corona-Einschränkungen eine Reservierung, die Plätze sind begrenzt. Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend!

  • 5/5 Cal d. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Difficult to classify. Victorian decor, matching drinks. Everything very stylish. Cool owner, sometimes a bit too student audience, but cool events (readings, RP). Those who have never been there have missed something. (Original) Schwer zu klassifizierten. Viktorianische Einrichtung, passende Drinks. Alles sehr stylisch. Cooler Besitzer, teilweise etwas zu studentisches Publikum, aber coole Events (Lesungen, RP). Wer noch nie da war, hat was versäumt.

    Emerge yourself in 1920 nostalgia. The ultimate absinthe experience!

  • 5/5 Bruno V. 7 years ago on Google
    Great ambient. Sometimes live music, sometimes the owner himself will play something. You can ask them anything about the place and they have a story, a relationship or an idea for this piece of furniture. Just great.

  • 5/5 Tom S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Top of my list of the best pubs, not only in Aachen! In my opinion it is definitely not worth it (provided you want to drink absinthe and not just "just" a beer). I recommend asking the bartender when deciding who does a really good job. (Original) Ganz weit oben auf meiner Liste der besten Kneipen, nicht nur in Aachen! Meiner Meinung nach lohnt es sich hier (vorausgesetzt man will Absinth trinken und nicht einfach "nur" ein Bier) garnicht unbedingt auf die Karte zu gucken. Ich empfehle den Barkeeper bei der Entscheidung zu befragen, welcher einen wirklich herausragend guten Job macht.
