Overview:
If you're heading abroad there's no better way of getting to know a new town and its inhabitants than having a few drinks where the locals go. Here, we've taken the faithful bar tour and added a twist of lime - we've turned it into a guided bar tour - where you'll be taken to the best bars with the most lively atmospheres and thankfully avoid any creepy rip off joints. Sound fun? We think so.
Where will the night take us?
This is a classic bar tour but in place of endless drinks you'll be adding some absinthe to the mix.
In around three hours you'll be escorted by two guides to visit three hand-picked Czech bars. And to top it off you'll get two drinks and absinthe.
What is Absinthe exactly?
One of the planet's most famous types of hooch, bright green Absinthe certainly packs a mighty punch. And it's for a good reason as the alcohol content of genuine Absinthe can reach up to a staggering 90%. It's a complex little piece of work as it's made from a derivative of wormwood which contains the chemical ‘thujone' which is said to have hallucinogenic properties.
How do you drink it?
You'd have to be a maniac to drink it straight as it's incredibly bitter and potent. Typically people rest a sugar cube over a slated spoon while adding between 3 - 5 parts of water to a dose of Absinthe. The sugar cuts the bitterness while the water dilutes it and gives a cloudy appearance.
Included:
- Bar tour to three hand-picked bars in the city centre
