    Full of character - however we made a rookie tourist error of allowing the server to suggest which absinthe to try and OF COURSE they offer the most expensive. So caught up in the experience we paid for the two most expensive which totalled £51.53 or approximately 1500Kč, and the drink was pretty disgusting. Be cautious of the prices. The server was polite and gave us plenty of information, he even tried to adjust one of the drinks to try to make it taste better (but of course charged extra for this). I think there are probably better places in Prague to try Absinthe and maybe they wont take advantage. But the place inside is interesting to see.

    We didn't eat here. This was my second time at the Green Devil, and it really is quite the experience. If you're into local drinks and strong spirits and unique experiences, then come to the Green Devil. Pay the extra and get the true experience.

    Your first time trying absinth? Look no further, come in here for an experience. Excellent staff. Very passionate about their job and Absinth. Atmosphere is cosy and moodful. Really deserves a visit if you are in Praha.

    Really great little place for anyone wanting absinthe not just as a novelty. Staff knowledgeable and gave good recommendations according to our preferences. Tried a Czech green non-macerated and white Swiss absinthe. Prepared French style for us at the table and both excellent flavours. Shop has great range and good to go to if want to discuss with someone who knows what they're talking about though bit expensive compared to online for same products. Bar prices may appear high but very reasonable for the quality we had and would definitely go again. The decor is another fantastic feature with fantasy murals, atmospheric lighting and trinkets everywhere. A truly excellent drinking experience.

    Tbh... I did not like the Absinthe. The ambience was also ok but not great. I thought the ambience would be like the ruin bars in Budapest and I also wanted to try absinthe once... The staff was good and polite.. and explained everything in a good way.. They also give suggestions and elaborate the items and how they make it...

    I have always thought Absinth exists only to destroy you during night out. But guys from Green Devil’s Absinth bar had showed me the real way how to prepare and drink it. I was amazed how good it was! Over 100 types of Absinth, friendly staff and one of the most unique interior designs I have ever seen. Definitely going on top of must see things in Prague during the day and night!

    Excellent selection and informative, fancy pouring presentation. Quirky, dark, kitschy atmosphere with an educated vibe to it. Enjoyed the whole experience thoroughly!

  • 5/5 Carolyn K. 3 months ago on Google • 55 reviews New
    This place is so fun! It’s in a 18th century cellar. Beware it does smell like one! But the Absinth selection is big and the staff is very liking and able to help you choose what to get and give suggestions. They even give you history on absinthe in the region you choose. The decorations are very eclectic and little spooky at times. We sat and enjoyed our time. They do have comfy chairs and couches and then a section of just wood stools. Very fun place and would recommend visiting!

  • 4/5 Ted S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wacky and wonderful and weird all at w-once (I had to). I’m sure it’s a tourist draw and it certainly wasn’t cheap but that’s ok, it was well worth it. Visiting in winter, I had the place to myself and the bartender / server walked me through all sorts of absinth information before I landed on a drink. My first time drinking it and certainly a unique experience even if it isn’t going to be my go to drink in the future. Other than the prices, it’s a really great price and certainly a fun stop for one drink to try the place, and the Absinth, out.

  • 5/5 Sebastian G. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely surrealistic and low-lit bar with tons of different Absinthe worth a visit when you're kind of addicted to the "green fairy" or just curious about this very special liquor and its different types of preparation. The service is extraordinary and while preparing your order you'll get a brief story of Absinthe history and the different types. The price range differs on what you want to spend on the experience, starting at about 250 up to 1500 CZK and more (approx. 10 to 60 EUR) per drink. Don't be scared by the pricing, it's absolutely worth it. And keep in mind that a good cocktail is the same price range, depending on what you order.

    nice experience! Staff polite and friendly who shows you how to serve the absinth. Here you can choose different drinks at different alcholic grade. the design is particular but it can also scary you 😅.

  • 3/5 Aliya A. 1 year ago on Google
    A lot of effort put into decorating the place, bravo! Looks like the horror ride of an amusement park. Well-located. Wide choice of absinth. Waiters are quite cold, but do come over to explain the process of Czech absinthe-drinking in contrast to French absinthe-drinking. Quite over-priced. Classic tourist attraction if you want to tick something off your bucket list, but you’re not missing out if your travels to Prague don’t bring you there.

    Top tier one of my weirdest experiences ever, in a positive way!!! Just way too effing expensive to get drunk there 😂 In my opinion, it’s a must go to place, if you are in Prag. You will enjoy!

    I really appreciated the service who explained us all about Absinth and Absinth in Czechia in general and also how to prepare and drink it. The bar itself is really interesting with all the stuff inside and super cozy. Highly recommend.

    Very interesting, friendly place. Full of curiosities and good music. Only 2 out of our party of 4 tried the drinks, but we were given water and not rushed. The manager knows his stuff and was a great host.

  • 5/5 Andreea V. 3 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Crazy decorative skills, creepy thins and very good music. The bar is a must in life and the atmosphere is great. The bartender is very friendly and knows all about absinthe. Oh, and the absinthe is above all. I recommend this bar with all my heart! Great job!

    It’s 2:30 in the afternoon and I’m chilling in an absinth bar. One to one service well explained and beautifully presented. Nice place to relax and unwind away from the crowds. Very friendly and helpful staff. Might be different if at night but highly recommend a visit. If not for a drink just poke your head in and look at their decor. English speakers available.

  • 5/5 Zoltán S. 2 years ago on Google

    Super friendly staff. Gloomy and original. The gentleman who served me the drinks was well informed and super nice. Even though I am not the greatest enthusiast of absinthe I would definitely recommend this Bar! I mean come on, they got absinthe with a beatle inside. How awesome is that?!

  • 5/5 Gjenerali G. 1 year ago on Google
    Unique place in whole Europe, these guys have done an amazing job in designing this bar. And then of Absynth is vast, with a very passionate and competent waiter ready to assist you and meet your tastes.

  • 5/5 Anja E. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing. Proper experience. The ambiance and atmosphere was incredibly immersive. The staff are ready to help you pick the best option and even teach you about the absinthe itself, the history and how to pour it. 10/10 experience do to in Prague

  • 5/5 Clara I. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice experience especially if you come from a country that is not very open about the intake of absinth, the price for a round is quite good and you can even add the sugar and water to the absinth shots yourself

  • 5/5 Dina P. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place, wide choice of absinthe types. Awesome interior and super nice service.

  • 5/5 Kirstie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun little bar in the cellar. Only really sells Absinthe. We did the tasting selection with 4 different types and you add your own water and sugar to suit. Crazy decorations add to the feel of the place. I don't like absinthe but this was fun

  • 5/5 Aleksander B. 4 years ago on Google
    That's a quite of the show! You get brief history of absinthe and description of your drink during exciting presentation. Staff is super knowledge and friendly. Place is underground so it slightly smells but nothing terrible - not for a romantic date tho.

  • 3/5 Ainho a. 1 year ago on Google
    The waiter was quite passionate explaining everything about Absinth, together with the deco makes it an entrained experience. Although prices are expensive so be careful ( I think I paid 30€ for my drink )because if you don’t like Absinth you ll regret it instantly. In my case, I tried Absinth before and I don’t like it but wanted to give it a try … was tough to drink 😂

  • 5/5 Jasmin R. 3 years ago on Google
    Best place to get all kinds of spirits, interior is really cool decorated. Best recommendations.

  • 5/5 Amanda A. 1 year ago on Google
    Weird wonderful bar. We had one drink 12 GBP a go , however it was worth it the barman explained the procedure and why and what he was doing and the absinthe drink was really good we had one simply as it's very strong and must be sipped . We went in the day but evening I think would be busier the decor inside is quirky and it's in an underground cave like venue loved it recommend

  • 5/5 David O. 4 years ago on Google
    Downstairs in old town Prague this destination bar is a must-visit. Over 100 various types absinth to choose from, but don't worry, the super friendly and informative staff will help you find the best absinth suited to your tastes. It is then prepared and served the traditional way in front of you.

  • 5/5 Sarang D. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 hydra 4 years ago on Google
    We loved this place!! I went here with my boyfriend after we realised how big of a thing absinthe is in Prague. We were already blown away just by looking at the bar from the outside (it's shrouded in green light and the atmosphere is very eerie) Walking inside, you find yourself in a shop through wich you can walk and then walk downstairs, where you find the actual bar (which is great!) Seeing as I had never tried absinthe before, I was kind of overwhelmed with the large selection. The bartender was very kind to explain everything to us in detail. Thanks for that! The atmosphere in the bar was eerie, intimate and calm. All in all, I was blown away and would definitely come here again and recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Steve Q. 3 years ago on Google
    This bar has a great ambiance and the choice of absinth is huge. For all those who don't know which one to choose, the staff comes with a lot of knowledge and advice for you. We'll definitely come back soon :)

    (Translated by Google) Very friendly service, a large selection of absinthe and negotiable (tourist) prices. A bar in an old vault designed with great attention to (grotesque) detail. The only drawback is the naturally authentic, moist vaulted air for the place. (Original) Sehr freundlicher Service, große Absinthauswahl und verhandelbare (touristische) Preise. Mit viel Liebe zum (grotesken) Detail gestaltete Bar in einem alten Gewölbe. Einziges Manko ist die für den Ort natürlich authentische, feuchte Gewölbeluft.

  • 5/5 Alina Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Very cool bar! It was my first absinthe experience and it was excellent. We had tried a very interesting absinthe ceremony which was provided by a professional barman. During the ceremony a barman was telling us different facts about those kinds of absinthe we had chosen by his advice. We took three cocktails from different kinds of absinthe. The atmosphere in a bar is very mysterious and unusual. All the time in a bar I was stareing at the walls with a very cool pictures on it and all this bottles!! Omg, I loved it!;)

    (Translated by Google) Absynth 11 euro, 2 stars (still) because of very elaborate decoration. But folks, I'm really not squeamish but it smelled so hard of mold there that we had to leave the bar again. If it makes your nose tingle, that's clearly too much. (Original) Absynth 11 euro, 2 Sterne (noch) weil sehr aufwendige Deko. Aber Leute, ich bin echt nicht zimperlich jedoch hat das dort derart hart nach Schimmel gerochen das wir direkt wieder die Bar verlassen mussten. Wenn es schon in der Nase kribbelt ist das eindeutig zu viel.

    It was an amazing absinth experience! Highly recommended. The bar looks a little bit weird, but do not be scared. Let’s have a seat and enjoy the atmosphere and drink. They have got various types of absinth. If you do not know which one you want, just ask the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The service was very fast and pleasant. We were taught how to make a proper drink. We wanted to try one of the best absinths. Thomas recommended us two Switzerland absinths: Clandestine 53% and 72% Capricicuse. He did the process of making the drinks in front of us. Both drinks were absolutely amazing and tasty. A worthwhile experience you must try!

👍👍 For me, the best place to eat in Prague. Not only drinks, but also foods arrive at your table on trains. On some tables, trains return to even take empty plates! On top of that - the food is delicious, same goes for drink. The staff is very kind and polite. I definitely recommend this place.
