Better than Flowers and Chocolates: St-Germain and Champagne.
Coogee Bay Hotel has you covered for good times in February
Perfect plan for your weekend delivered every Thursday
This unique bar concept landed in Surry Hills from Belle Epoque Paris two years ago and is going strong. Behind the black velvet drapes is a room done up in Art Nouveau style where waiters in period costume serve Toulouse-Lautrec’s poison exclusively. There are 24 different French and Swiss absinthes of up to 75 per cent alcohol content; each table has a fountain designed to drip iced water over a cube of sugar into the potent, aniseedy, herbally brew until it ‘louches’ or clouds up. Stir, and sip cautiously. You’re only allowed a maximum of three drinks, but two will probably do you. Book ahead for an aperitif before dinner, or drop in later at night to start your big evening with a powerful kick of the green fairy.
