Enivrez-vous!

File under: nightlife, Wellington

The night of the green fairy is almost upon us. This Thursday from about 9pm, be at Neat bar at 201 Cuba St for an absinthe-fueled night of decadence and delight.

There will be live music and performances of depraved and delicious poetry (Baudelaire, Rimbaud and the wickedest man in the world, Aleister Crowley) to put you in the fin de siècle mood. Eddy has compiled a special list of absinthe cocktails to "render the breathing freer, the spirit lighter, the heart more ardent", and patrons are encouraged to dress in the spirit of bohemian glamour, in order to conjure up the spirit of licentious imagination.
