The Green Hour Comes to Life at Wormwood
Wormwood’s new happy hour is now available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 5 PM to 7 PM
In 19th century Paris, absinthe was so popular that five o’clock at Parisian cafés became known as l’Heure Verte, the Green Hour. “It seems when I drink you, I inhale the young forest’s soul,” wrote French poet Raoul Ponchon.
With decadence came disapproval, then demonization. Some doctors charged that “absintheurs” were succumbing to “absinthism,” a syndrome marked by seizures and hallucinations. French anti-alcohol groups worked with viticulturists to ban it.
Today, absinthe is sold legally throughout Europe and North America. Swiss and EU producers, recognizing the drink’s seductive mystique, have even fought over ownership of the “absinthe” and “Green Fairy” labels.
At Wormwood, they are reclaiming the Green Hour—the original Happy Hour! They’ll have Absinthe, cocktails, wine specials, and a new bar bites menu! Walk-ins are accepted!
