Patrons Take a Mysterious Trip Back In Time and Cozy Up to Spirits of the Past
LAS VEGAS, Nev., Dec. 9 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Obsello, an authentic award-winning absinthe verte along with award-winning, world-renowned French restaurant Bouchon in Las Vegas, are giving guests the opportunity to travel back in time and place – back to 1845 Paris, France at the height of the absinthe revolution to experience the original “Green Hour” — or “l’ heure verte.”
The original “Green Hour” originated in France in the mid-1800’s and beckoned dedicated absinthe patrons to gather in cafes and taverns from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. every day where inspiration, conversation and of course “the green fairy” reigned queen. It is the mother of our current day “Happy Hour.”
Absinthe was so profound during the height of its popularity that come the twilight hours, the smell of absinthe would reportedly permeate the streets of Paris. Many believe absinthe, along with all of the accompanying tradition and rituals, actually inspired the Modernist Era. Artists such as van Gogh, Oscar Wilde and Ernest Hemingway have openly attributed their genius to the drink that was eventually banned in 1912 over its purported psychotropic effects.
Obsello and Bouchon invite patrons to join them in a trip back in time to experience this mysterious witching hour at the French Las Vegas eatery that is most apropos — with mosaic tiled flooring, magnificent pewter bar and enchanting French art murals.
Dedicated clientele, business travelers and anyone feeling like a bit of romance will have the chance to breathe in the fresh aroma of absinthe, strike up unusual and captivating conversations with strangers hauntingly familiar, and enjoy dishes made conceived by one of America’s most critically acclaimed chefs and owner of Bouchon, French Laundry and Per Se — Thomas Keller. Of course, absinthe will be offered up in the traditional presentation and style, served from classic and ornate absinthe fountains.
Don’t be surprised if ghosts from the past join you for a drink and speak of things as you wish they were.
