Description
Despite its name, this East Village wine bar does not serve absinthe or any other hard liquors (the name actually comes from the space’s wallpaper, which features images in the style of 19th-century painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who often worked under the influence of the wormwood-based tipple). The wine list includes roughly 100 different bottles from around the world; you’re welcome to try any of them, so long as you are willing to pay for three glasses. Meanwhile, a small-plates menu includes playful creations like beet and apple lollipops with a goat cheese mousse, from chef Matthew Purcell (Gramercy Tavern, Oceana).

Hours

Mon–Thu, Sun 4pm–1am; Fri, Sat 4pm–2am.
